How Do You Focus When Hollywood Invades Your Back Garden?
How do you focus when Hollywood invades your back garden?
Slight exaggeration - we don't have a back garden, more like an estate car park, but you get the drift.
So I did some Pinterest training which suggested that board and pin titles and descriptions should be fully optimised with keywords, emotional adjectives, rational, hooks, and big promises to the viewer.
I also learned how important it is to recycle and update old content on social media channels and on your site, so that your old work isn't forgotten or wasted. As a pinterest newbie, I had a lot to learn. So this is what I did:
Each of my pinterest pins reflects a post on my site, and for every pin, I've created 4 pin titles, 4 pin descriptions and 4 images, along with the corresponding website post link. No cramming or stuffing, just clear flowing sentences with fresh new images.
This method allows me to bulk upload slight variations of the same content to tailwind and then schedule the pins to be pinned to my pinterst boards each week over a month.
And all of that is what I have been doing for the past 5 days..not quite the '5 minutes of my time' the mentor had promised, but I am glad that I am doing it now instead of when I have hundreds of posts on my site to create pins for. Going forward, pins and their titles and descriptions will be created BEFORE the corresponding website post.
But this morning, Haley Berry, Jason Statham et al., are shooting their new movie at the back of our apartments... I'm struggling to focus.
I want to go out there and watch, and get autographs, hand out trays of coffee and tea (like they do in films), and perhaps 'hang with the crew', but I can't because these titles, descriptions and images will not create themselves, and it's already taken long enough as it is.
Also.. I can't because the swarming security would NEVER let me anywhere near the crew in the first place, but that is not the point.
On another note, I'm thinking of launching a YouTube channel for my first site - I wonder if I can borrow their top-of-the-range lighting equipment for my videos....now that would be cool (and would also only happen in my dreams).
I will stay focused, I will stay focused, I will stay focused....

What a great foray into YouTube. I couldn’t think of a better entree into YT than filming the filmers.lol.

Right?
I got some video footage, of the car stunt moves (very understated and a little boring to be fair), but what a great idea - thank you.

That's still really cool that they are filming a movie in your back yard!

To be fair, the area is used A LOT for film, especially action / espionage type films, but we are very close to the action this time.
Cheers :-)
