Hello everybody!

Recently I found myself overwhelmed, I was bogged down because the process of creating content had become more time consuming then the time I had available to do so.

Ultimately, it came down to two things;

#1-the process I employed in creating content.

#2-the number of websites I needed content for.

So the first Ah-Ha moment I had was when I started leveraging YouTube Videos on my Entertainment/Social Sites. I started embedding Video's from my favorite YouTubers and made sure to give them full credit (along with recommendations that my audience like and subscribe to their channels). It has made posting much, much easier. Often-times I am trying to motivate and inspire my audience towards social good and personal growth, so when I have a Video that does just that I can give a short intro- and a quick goodbye- and let the Video do the heavy lifting. It's a win-win for my site and the Video's I've leveraged.

The second Ah-Ha moment came when I figured out just how easy it was to make YouTube Video's myself.

I have a Mac-Mini that comes with iMovie and QuickTime Player. With an external microphone and QuickTime Player I can make screen recordings with my audio instructions over-layed. I then use iMove to edit and BAM, I have an upload-able tutorial video!

So what I have done is reduced the number of sites I am working on to four. Two are in the Entertainment/Social Niche and two are in the 'Making Money Online' Niche. Now I can cross post and essentially cross promote making it easier to keep up with the content creation schedule. And the best part- I can embed my own tutorial videos as new posts to my sites!!!!

I hope some of this has given you some new ideas. Have a blessed day!
