How I Work Hard To Be Successful!

              I know sometimes success can be taken away from you at times of stress and panic but to be successful, you gotta work hard and gotta grind and that is what I have been doing is grinding hard to get caught up in the content you guys either every day or every week, depending what content comes out and whether it is scheduled or not. But you have to work hard, grind, grind, grind, even with the going gets tough, just keep on going, do not stop or give up. Giving up is not a good thing, trust me, I ended up giving up and look at where that took me, so far behind on the podcast I kind of gave up and giving up is not a good idea, look at what happened, I ended trying to catch up this week towards the end of the week. With Finale week beginning less then 24 hours from now, I gotta make sure to post up the Big Brother Canada RECAP today at the most. 


              To gain a follower ship or a good fan base like I have, you have to work hard, gotta promote your content each and every time you post up content you have to do the PR work behind it. What I do is give a far warning like a 1 hour warning till the content comes out or the exact time it goes up. I also take advantage if I have to run out to do errands or have an appointment or in bed when content goes out late, I use the scheduling feature on Twitter and is the only time I will use the feature, 99.9% of the time I am posting up things live minus if I am in bed early or out on errands or at an appointment, I find it good tool to have especially if I am on a very busy day and I tend to forget to post up the content links, whoops! I was given advice from someone who told me PR is the most important thing when it comes down to promoting content.


               The final point I would like to make is try and make a schedule when your content comes out, so your fan base knows when the content is out on time and yes I realize I am off schedule myself but working hard to get it out on time on schedule. But scheduling is key, especially if you want to keep the fan base happy and not lose fans over content being up late.... Cough, cough I am a prime example but I am sure if your fans are understanding, I know you guys who read this blog and understand my recent circumstances. If you are going to be away like I was in April, you gotta get a make up schedule made or work around being away this way you do not miss the content going out and have it posted up the following week. Hope this advice helps you guys out and feel free to ask questions in the comments below, I will be sure to answer them and never know I may do a follow up. 


Have a great day!

Chris B On The Web Is LIT!

            Chris B On The Web & Everything About Reality TV has grown so much in the past 3 months. As for the podcast this is one of my favorite season of them all as I have connected with so many other Big Brother Canada & Survivor Ghost Island Fans, this is actually my favorite season to cover but don't get me wrong, I loved covering every season. Not only this season but between the end of this season and next season, this podcast will be very much still active after both shows are done, but I will not say what the surprise till later. 

              I have never had this much love and support for this podcast and the fact the podcast has surpassed it's 100th episode and now on it's way up with more and amazing episodes! I know I can be sarcastic sometimes and funny but that is what makes the podcast what it is today. Also whenever my right hand snow man Larry pops on the numbers go up and I know you guys enjoy listening to what he has to say and hes become more and more interactive and we always seem to be talking about this podcast whenever we are on Skype chatting or in person. 


                This year alone Chris B On The Web has peaked over 1000 views since the month of December, it could be before that too but I am so overwhelmed on the growth of the website, the podcast and looking at the counter each and everyday and it is so amazing to see the success it has been wanting to get for the past year and a half now. It goes to show I really worked hard in the last year and an half and I never gave up, I kept on going when the going got rough, I just kept on moving and a grooving and it has shown that I have finally become a success in Online Media, not saying I didn't see success as a YouTuber, but what I mean is I went on my own for a certain reason and this plan was a huge success and was the smartest move I ever made and I have no regret leaving YouTube or dissolving the team I once had. However I am thankful for the loyal staff who stuck by me and were there for me through the thick and thin of things and they know who they are. This year is truly the year of success for Chris B On The Web!

Why is Everything About Reality TV Podcast Successful After 2 years?

              Everything About Reality TV has been successful because I have connected with other podcasters which has helped me drastically. This also has helped my podcast grow as I have had likes and retweets, however I do not get many likes or Retweets often but that's ok though, I know you guys see the posts as from to time I will glance at the analytics to the tweet itself and I can see how many people I have reached in that particular tweet.  Also the fact I constantly am reminding you guys the podcast is coming out soon does help and any special reminders I have made to scheduling changes or the podcast is delayed a day or two. I am always constantly updating you guys on the podcast and I think that has helped me quite a lot in this podcast journey! 


              Also I do hashtags, such as #EverythingAboutRealityTV, #podcast or #podcaster. So that helps the podcast get noticed out there and I use the appropriate hashtags for the content I put out there on social media that is another reason why my podcast has been successful for the past 2 years and 5 months to be exact. If you are to be a content creator, whether you are putting content on YouTube, on a podcast or a blog post, make sure to put in the hashtags, like I said that is what I do. 


              The next reason why the podcast is a success is because of the platforms my podcast is on. Yes I know it started on Mixcloud then Podcasts.com, TuneIn, Player FM & ITunes and the list goes on. My strategy towards that was the platforms that will get the most views and honestly I believe that I made the right choice on what platforms I have put it on. TuneIn.com & ITunes are well know platforms for podcasts, TuneIn also well known for radio stations both online and local radio stations as well. Player FM, I made the right choice going back to them after a very short stint with them late 2016, however, they have featured me on their website under Reality TV section of the website, which is so amazing and probably why my podcast has seen it's success as I connected with such amazing platforms and they have been helpful when I have had issues with it updating. These are the reasons why my podcast is successful and I hope you enjoyed this post and there will be another blog post tomorrow.

Working Hard To Be Successful

             I have not really spoke about my new fond success at my Podcasts and Blogs that I written on either Soapbox or chrisbontheweb.com but to be successful on anything whether it is YouTube, Twitch or streaming in general or in my case blog posts or podcasts, but you gotta work hard, to get views it takes time to grow your audience and I found a difference between Podcasts and YouTube but that's for another blog post on another day but anyways it takes a while to grow your audience, YOUR fan base, trust me I have had a lot of support from the get go, when it was still on the YouTube platform and even now on the Audio ONLY Platforms for the podcast, I have gotten nothing but non stop support since the day I moved to Audio and a lot of other podcasters following me to show support to me doing the podcast throughout the reality TV seasons (Going onto my 3rd Season this summer!). 

              Now the best way to promote your content, whether it is Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus it is the best way to promote your content. Soon as you edit your content whether you are a YouTuber, podcaster or blogger, you should promote your content right off the bat, not wait, post it to all the social media that you have. You can also add onto the posts with hashtags and now what is a hashtag if you have no clue what it is, well it is just a simple "#" sign from your keyboard which if you use shift 3 button, it will give you the "#" sign. Hashtag is a great way to get yourself out there and you never know trending on social media and I have had Everything About Reality TV trending once in the past which was incredible and it was a very rewarding feeling to have to be sort of trending on Twitter. Numbers is not always important, it's about building your audience and having quality content out there which does help quite a lot, as I have realized that as I just completed my first podcast and I fixed the quality and the levels of my voice so it doesn't sound distorted. To be successful is to make the right connections out there, if you know what I mean. I connected with other podcasters, other cast members from Amazing Race and look where that has brought me to a very successful podcast and it has grown tremendously over the last 10 months almost. Do not feel down, do not give up, keep on trying and I ensure you will succeed at what you do. 


Have a great night!
