About Channel 43

We are in such a visual and video-centric time, that it will be incredibly important for you to be creating sharable video for your existing audience.  It does not need to be highly produced.  Instead it can be done with a mobile phone, social media style.  Sometimes you are publishing just for the algorithms, so that they see you are consistent with posting.  

If a person has invested in you, either with money or their time, they will be wanting to receive ongoing updates and continued education.  They will trust you as a source of information (until they don’t).  To maintain that interest, you should be posting on-topic content that fits their expectation, and that also keeps them hooked.
