Will I Still Stream On Facebook and Instagram Live?

              Now with the announcement of the new Live Feature for Podcasts has been made the question I have is will I continue to do streams on Facebook and Instagram from time to time? The answer is yes. When I have a chance or announcement to make, I will most definitely go live and you can withhold me to that and right now there is no other announcement but I am not a fan of the live feature on Facebook and Instagram but if I need to make an announcement I definitely will. Don't expect it to be every day or couple of times a week. You will know when I go live to know what the announcement as you will be notified. I know I have had more requests for me to do live streams on the fan page and I would love to but I am a very busy person from maintaining the website to doing these posts to my own podcast and help getting the hosts onto the air as well as I am the one that setup that feature and the one that  has the key to the door to our stream on the website.

                Anyways, that is what I have to say and I know I am only going to be live on Facebook and my Instagram and I know you're going to ask what about the website well that is another story but in a nutshell I will be only live for Power Rangers Podcast at this point as you know my days for broadcasting are slim to non of me ever being a regular caster and as you know Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast is 3 times a year and I wanna save the airwaves for the other podcasts to be honest and when I said I am semi retired from casting I meant it and mainly if I was to cast it would be off my website or on the CBOTW social media's at this point. We've been banned off of Twitch, YouTube and other platforms. However I mean it I will pop up here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and socials from time to time but don't expect it to be often. Thank you for continuing to read on a daily basis and I will talk to you guys tomorrow.

We're Rebuilding Our Facebook Fan Page!

             The last few weeks has shown that some people do not wanna support us and just troll and be disrespectful and they know who they are. So we are doing a complete overhaul of our Facebook Fan Page and we need to start networking with people and get people over on our Facebook too besides Twitter and Instagram as it is. It is time to grow this community and if this means we have to move podcasts over to YouTube then so be it, we can definitely do that in the next few weeks we will. However we want to utilize the Facebook Page cause YouTube is not all that great anymore. It hasn't been good for years and this is why our podcasts are going to be on Facebook Fan Page and why we need to start networking and bringing more people on. Now we have just under 3100 followers thanks to people unfollowing us and re following so it does fluctuate however that's not the point I wanna make. The point is I can definitely bring people in from our Twitter and Instagram. We will get it fixed. I wanna eventually get over 100 likes at some point and it would really be nice and we use to have 80 something likes at one point but we had to remove people in the past for certain reasons but we will fix this. 

                

                 Give us some time to fix this and if we need to just record Audio ONLY till we fix the issue that could be something or even going live we could bring in new viewers and after all we will be using Streamyard for guests but for the most part they will be using the broadcaster or OBS to stream to the page. More information is to come very soon on that as things need to get fixed first before we do anything else. Social Media and Networking are the most important thing right now as we need to make sure we are troll free and it seems we have issues with this the last week or so. To those who are on there, thank you for continuing to support us and we will fix all of this eventually. There will be a time where we get new likes we just have to be patient through all of this.

Addressing A Few Things That's Going On...

                 There has been so many issues recently across the board. I never thought in all the short time I have been with Chris and his team there would be so many issues. I will address them on this post and like Chris said if they remove this post so be it but it has to be addressed.

Facebook: The biggest headache for the last week or so as not once but twice we have had issues with our Facebook Community Fan Page as we have had issues with our scheduled posts actually posting. Now everything was on schedule technically didn't go up and remained in our scheduled section in the back end of the website which honestly has really put Chris in a bad mood again not once but twice. Chris has even thought about just focusing on Twitter and Instagram but he hasn't come to a decision on that at this point.

Ad Revenue: As you know we have ad revenue and recently we started to move with earning then Google goes and removes half the money we have earned and continue to remove money from our adsense. Chris is definitely keeping an eye on all of these issues and he's been going off on Google in the last 24 hours really not happy and he's been going off on social media yesterday ranting and threatening especially threatening to pull the CBOTW Fan Page all together.

                  He's not been a very happy camper from people threatening to report his social media to ratting him out to all this stuff going on with the two core things that evolves CBOTW and it's website and community. It is being monitored but he has actually spoken about sponsorships for the website or advertising on the website that could actually be a possibility that he could look into and he could actually remove the site from the Google Ad revenue all together and do something different? He has even said on Twitter he's considering Wordpress for a website or something similar that he has had at one point and no he won't be returning to 000webhost as that was a disaster. However this means he would be doing away with Google all together and he would have to re-create under another email switch over emails for podcasts etc which really isn't hard but we are locked with blogspot for another 3.5 years. So that is what is going on and I thought I'd let you know and hopefully the issues are resolved very soon.

Start Of My Reality TV Chatter in 2013 (Throwback Thursday)

                This started back in 2013 when I was still a YouTuber, this was before the Reality TV era and when I knew Larry who's now my Senior Producer who really needs to be promoted to EP (Executive Producer) as well as he's done so much for me over the years and deserves a more of a promotion as he's helped me start this entire journey nearly 5 years ago. Anyways I was just tweeting about Reality TV, Survivor, Big Brother, Big Brother Canada as most of you know that is when BBCAN came out and actually when I met a lot of you and big shoutout to Alyssa on Twitter who I've been friends and she's been a loyal follower of ChrisBOnTheWeb even before the name came to be... LOL.. I met Sean from Sensibly Cynical Podcast I think last year but really do not remember. Getting old over here, slowly hitting 35... smh! Anyways I connected with so many of you, Dusty, Reality Teas (Chris) who is actually on my Staff right now for Big Brother USA! The list is large I cannot name everyone as we've got like 3200 + followers unless that's gone down recently as it fluctuates on a daily basis.  Either way without the Amazing Race, Big Brother, Big Brother Canada, Tough As Nails, The Simpsons, Power Rangers And Survivor fans, we wouldn't be doing what we're doing to this day. We have become a big success because of you guys continuously supporting us through all the ups and downs we have, the laughs and the tears. 

                  I am so happy I met you all and made so many great friends over the years and I cannot thank you all enough. 2013 is a long time ago, 7 years to be exact and I am glad I built a bit of a following in that department before this journey began in February 2015 with the trial runs of talking Reality TV before Everything About Reality TV became a thing and then to go on to merge with the now The CBOTW Show.  I remember when I started to tweet about Reality TV I wasn't getting many hits and with me tweeting about Tough As Nails, I've gotten likes from the Executive Producers and host of Tough As Nails which really surprised me actually. Not just that but connecting with one of my favorite Big Brother Alumni, Talla from Season 1. I remember being on her stream I happen to blurt out the numbers 191999 LOL and she said I saw that! Haha. Her reaction was priceless.  I've connected with other Reality Stars some from Survivor, Amazing Race, Amazing Race Canada. None from Big Brother US yet but never know it could happen. What I am trying to say is without any of the love and support this would of probably gone away.very fast and here we are almost 5 years in still going strong, maybe even stronger then we were before.  That is my throwback story and I had to tell and we've built such a strong amazing community and let's continue to build this community for years to come!

Chris B On The Web Weekly Updates [05-31-2020]

                 I know it has been very confusing with things changing constantly and with us figuring things out with the website and content right now especially with Everything About Reality TV. We got some really cool stuff coming to the podcast and no it won't be just me but the other hosts are going to try and come up with ideas for a podcast related to their show. However for this to work, we are making decisions that are tough for us and this is what they are:

1) No Video Platform for Everything About Reality TV until we know what the plan is for Big Brother 22 so video platform is at the stand still for now and right now we are 4 weeks pretty much as of tonight until Big Brother 22 is supposedly to start and we have not been told anything as of yet. Amazing Race Canada, I just do not think it is going to happen at this point, they haven't yet recorded it yet and makes me wonder if they are waiting till things are back to normal or thinking of waiting till next year this is why we are on waiting to announce anything video wise but we know Tough As Nails is a go at this point. 

2) We've added our Hosts as Editors so they can make posts and update you guys on shows and their podcasts. Larry and Jeff are Moderators and able to remove comments. 

3) The next thing I want to address is at this point, Staff wise, I am am going to say for right now is we are not looking for any new Staff at this point. I am very much happy with the team we got right now. I want to keep the team small for right now and at this moment I think it is just the best to grow slowly not fast.

              Right now with Everything About Reality TV going into "Off Season" Mode, we are making the decisions and constantly around the clock trying constantly assessing things and the situation here in Canada and over all the world as the CBOTW Studios remains closed till restrictions are lifted. Those are the updates for the week and I surprised Chris by getting this completed Wednesday of last week many days before this was published on the website. Anyways I will talk to you guys next week, same time as usual.

I Wanna Do More Instagram and Facebook Chats With You Guys!

                      So recently about 2 days ago I sat down at my desk and did a  FB Live for another 30 minutes with you guys and it was honestly fun! I know it wasn't much of a turnout but had a bunch of people pop in. One of my Instagram followers and 2 from the Fan Page but I have to say, thank-you for tuning in. I honestly need to do it in the evenings now I think and I honestly think people would tune in more so that is definitely something to think about moving forward. I think it will be a great idea to connect with you guys and definitely an idea and gives me something to do honestly as these days I am bored out of my mind at times but busy with CBOTW stuff. I can say this we had a great conversation and a lot of sports stuff and I actually linked  a sports links in there. Maybe for one of them, I will do a Q & A edition and let you guys ask questions or could even be a video in it's entirity and been thinking about doing one with Larry.


                      Anyways, I am off topic like usual but I like the fact this is on a Wednesday but again, timing I think wasn't right actually. However the response to it especially on FB was crazy! the numbers for that live broadcast was really high almost 30 people have seen it and I haven't actually looked at it since the broadcast but was overwhelming to see the number of views and actually our like count went up on the page so maybe this is truly a sign to start doing something like this more often. With that I want to thank-you all again for tuning in the other day and I will let you guys know when I wanna do another one and hopefully next week I will get another one and I plan on doing it in the evening this time around maybe around 6 pm EST.

Which Social Media Do I Use The Most Currently?

          So you are probably wondering what Social Media? Well besides Facebook for my own personal use, my main go to Social Media for Chris B On The Web at this point is Twitter and is the only social media used for Chris B On The Web.


            As you guys know I've tried a fan page to a point I was trolled or not much activity on the page whatsoever. Also as you know my posts got reported so again that is why I have refused to make anymore groups at this point of time, someone keeps reporting my posts, not that I am bashing Facebook, because I'm not...  I got my reasons why I do not have the Facebook group or the Facebook Page and I am happy with what I got at this point of time. The way I see it, is go on social media that bring you the most success and interaction, it doesn't hurt to try it out if it doesn't work then you can remove it from that social media and work with which ones work the best for you. 


           So which platforms do I prefer to use? Well I liked Facebook but to a point of the post getting reported so Twitter is currently my go to for social media at this point of time and honestly I get a ton more response from it then i did elsewhere, even Google Plus wasn't doing overly great for me at the time, but my choices would be Facebook or Twitter, Facebook as I had ton of support on the group up to the point of being reported constantly from outside the group. Twitter, I get Retweets, replies Likes, you name it on there and I am very happy with the platform and been a solid member since 2011/2012, then the current account since 2013 and I've noticed on Twitter I have grown so much and so fast, it is my number 1 social media outside of my personal FB for friends and family.

Busy Week Ahead of Me!

            This week will indeed be an busy week for me once again as I have an appointment this week, well tomorrow and on top of that I will be doing a random podcast for you guys, outside Everything About Reality TV and the topic I am keeping quiet as I wanna surprise you guys on the topic that was chosen for this special “Random” Podcast. This was requested by a fan and also my moderator of the Chris B On The Web Facebook group that we have as one of the social media websites. It is very exciting to see you guys more and more involved each and everyday which I honestly love the interaction with you guys on a regular basis. Please keep an eye out on social media for when it goes up on my website.

          Not only that but blog posts I plan trying to write everyday this week which my goal for the week and I intend to actually be on track with the blogs and I got some real great topics, including some games I would like to get updated version of the game. What games? You will have to wait and see what I have in stored for the blog post tomorrow. So this week will be filled with lots of fun.

         Do not forget also on Thursday, I will be recording and posting up the next Everything About Reality TV Podcast recapping Survivor Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers EP # 9 and I am once again excited for this weeks next recap. I got a post to do Tuesday about it on my blog. So there you have it a busy but productive week for me and it keeps out of trouble at least... ha-ha!

Personal Update For November 12th, 2017

                I have been up and down in stress in the pass week with the work load of getting podcasts out on time, blog posts are out on a daily basis or at least every two days at the most but I am slacked off bringing out blog posts on a regular basis. Not only that friendships went out the door on me this week and it has put me back into a depression for about 2 - 3 days but Thursday were a better day for me about 12 noon when I was being with friends and after I got back and got moving on the podcast which was up in no time. I think it had a lot to do with the stress of the Audio ONLY Platform issues I was having throughout the week with both Player FM & TuneIn.com as well but that was cleared up with staff of both websites and the process time was much shorter then it was back on Monday or Tuesday night when I posted up the podcast from last week quite later then usual. I do feel bad for the lack of blog posts too, just not been motivated to write at the time or I get way to busy with other things but I do wanna write but some days I just don't feel like I want to, I lack motivation to do it, but I am writing it this morning thats for sure.

          
                  Sometimes I wonder why I am still doing podcasts and blog posts but I love to write and I love to talk "Reality TV" with you guys and the podcast has become ever so popular quickly out of the gate, I shouldn't give up on it whatsoever. I gotta someway, somehow motivate myself to get things back on track and I dont think blogs daily is going to work at this point so I will figure something out and put it on my list for the announcement & update for tomorrow. This is not going good as I have lost tons of followers because of the lack of updates and that puts me down but again I can't be on Twitter 24-7 that is my frustrating part of this as I got a life to live to and I cannot be tweeting but I try, that's what dragging me down is losing followers when I try to be as active as I can and I was active yesterday a tad bit but again I had my niece and nephew and couldn't tweet I was extremely busy or trying to save my data on my phone so I won't be in a wifi zone. So please understand where I'm coming from, but if you un-follow me then re-follow me constantly, may end up not following you back all together, might be changing the way things are for Twitter and following certain people but that is unsure at this moment of time. 


                      So that is what is going on with me and hope you understand the lack of tweets or Facebook updates, but I am still here and not going anywhere anytime soon and trying to keep you guys up to date as much as possible but sometimes it is hard when I am traveling from places without using my data as much as possible, so I am not ignoring you, just out of wifi zone or busy with things at the moment and I will get back to you soon as possible!


Have a fantastic Sunday!


Chris
