Unsure what to do for Motivation Wednesdays Anymore

          I am honestly unsure what kind of motivation to give you guys on Wednesdays. I have a bit of a creative block and I will talk more about it more tomorrow and on Sunday and at least I have one for now but trying to get three a week isn’t as easy as you think. However maybe doing them will spark more ideas and already got one more idea already to do so im inspiring myself writing this blog.

          Maybe writing on this blog helps me with the ideas as I’m taking you guys through my creative process and I always ise that term when it comes to the creating content whether it’s on this blog, the podcast or a video on our YouTube channel. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all on Thursday.

Gotta Stay Positive!

                   Doing this post on behalf of Chris and he knows I am writing this post. Just a disclaimer. Between guests on Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show, this is our busiest time of the year for us. Always is in May and June what Boss Man said to me. It has been slower in January and we always make notes to see the trend with guests and collaborations which is really cool we do that. 

         A lot of people have reached out to us and we are booking up quickly for June. You probably remember Chris left the platform, Matchmaker FM as it is now a paid service which is fine but we managed around the changes. Change is good and Chris has shown a lot of positivity and we keep track of our changes and how any notes to change things around or tweak with some minor updates. I will speak to you all tomorrow.

Sometimes You Have To Hit The Reset Button!

           The last several days has been a complete disaster where things self destructed on me. Mostly Entertainment Man Podcast as you know there was no episode yesterday and only thing we really posted was the video of the studio. However I am going to make it up on Wednesday with an episode, however it will be an Audio ONLY episode for this week and this week only. It'll be posted to the Podcast feed on YouTube. I will save the other episode I was planning for when I get back but will have it ready.

          So I am hitting the reset button and focusing on getting things ready for tomorrow and Wednesday. Focusing on what needs to be done first. I kind of went away from the sticky notes on my desktop and that is my own fault. So I have to hit a reset button and try and work around my faults and we all have our own faults in life, things we regret doing. The Video Projects Team was one of those regrets as there are points of that team, I will not discuss but we all regret and sometimes you need to hit that reset button and come up with a new plan. I will talk about it more on Wednesday but that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Close to Crossing the Finish Line!

               Getting close to crossing the finish line when it comes to re-uploading all these long and short form videos. This week the long form videos that are being put back up will be coming out this week will be coming to an end. I will be doing a video release Saturday @ 6 pm EST to mark the end of this long journey. I know I've been a pain with reposting so much in a day and trying to get it done in a timely fashion so we can actually focus on the newer content.

               Short forms continue to be posted but only two days of the week, the rest is the newer content for you guys. So we are only uploading the old shorts on Sundays & Fridays which has less content so we can slip it in for now and I know there will be some kind of new content down the road, just figuring out the Friday slot needs some improvements. However we're near the finish line for the first part, then the second part, so we are closing in to completion of the older stuff and excited for the future. Anyways that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Vlog is being recorded!

         A Vlog is being recorded. I've caught him with the camera and his phone in one hand as he's on a call with me and between filming the Vlog. I heard he will be recording all week long up to Thursday evening so something is truly up with him. I just know he will be posting something up. I know you guys want streams from him, long and short content, the podcasts. There is so much we can do in a day. 

         I think it will be an interesting vlog unless something happens today that was suppose to happen doesn't but we'll see. He has considered just re-starting the vlog entirely and I understand how he feels and his choice but that is what editing is for and he's been in this game for 19 years so anything is possible. Hope you will tune into the video on Saturday @ 6 pm EST and I will chat with you all tomorrow.

Website Changes, New Idea!

               Website has been changed up once again and this is cause of the issues with our audio only platform we are with and I've decided to have one feed for TV and Movies and we will add a dedicated feed to Reality TV if we chose to go down that route down the road. I have a plan with all of that doesn't involved YouTube nor Rumble whatsoever. I am planning to utilize Spotify a ton more both audio and video and this way I do not have to worry about those platforms. That is kind of the reason why we went down to one website page for the time being till I decide to launch the Reality TV side again down the road. 

               I will probably be waiting for the expansion till May or June to finding some hosts for the podcast but that will be later on. The first step will be us getting the Audio ONLY fixed first. However I have changed everything around, Entertainment Man Podcast will be on Spotify Video & Audio ONLY; meanwhile The CBOTW Show will be Audio ONLY like it has been recently but doesn't mean we are getting rid of video all together. More details are coming on Thursday but as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Collaborations Are Working For Us!

                      The history of our collaborations has gone back years since June 2018 when Larry and I introduced Power Rangers Collaboration Podcast and recently we have actually started to collaborate with others for our blog which has been very good for our website analytics and views. We are in the right direction with content and we want to continue to collaborate with you guys moving and why we have the "Get Involved" tab onto our website and it proves it as I've been monitoring and it's in the middle of the pack but you guys have been checking it out. We appreciate you guys collaborating, it helps us out and plus we love to read you posts you create for us. 

               This is not the end neither, we are constantly working on the next part of the next little endeavor with The CBOTW Show especially. I know everything is upside down with that podcast but hopefully in due time we will be back up and running fully. I know I've not addressed the episodes going up and they are going to just on chrisbontheweb.com till Podcasts.com approves the two feeds we have. However PATIENCE is a virtue. In  the meantime we continue to prepare and record till we can start posting it to all platforms so please do feel free to reach and I will talk to you all tomorrow for a special birthday post.

Feeling Good This Morning!

        Regardless of how I feel this morning, sleep or no sleep, I feel very good. I feel accomplished and the fact I've got it done at a good timely manner. Slowly but surely I am getting back on track! I feel the power of positivity that this is the beginning of posting out on time for once. Maybe my luck and the fact that I am actually going to be bringing out content more on time and the fact I am posting both episodes this afternoon, things are on the up and up.

       You have to remember to stay positive and work through the struggles that you are going through. No matter what, things will turn around and get better. Yes it may take some time to improve but it will indeed get better but it takes some time. I understand this now especially the fact it's been two or 3 months now and still was struggling with the scheduling issues. I think it was because I wasn't adjusting to the new schedule very well. It was all on me and I admit it and very open to admitting my mistakes. But what I need to do is move forward and continue to improve the day to day operations and that is all I can really do. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another post.

Chris

When To Know When To Adjust!

             This has become a problem the last 3 months with being behind schedule and you guys know I consider it unacceptable! I am trying to discipline myself to being better with a schedule. Today it is about me getting caught up releasing Entertainment Man Podcast around 7ish tonight, it is about me getting Wednesday's episode ready for The CBOTW Show and then the following weekend. 

              There is a reason behind this blog other then me complaining about myself and I am not really complaining about myself but there is a lesson to this. You have to know when to re-adjust things. Also sometimes you need to realize there is only 24 hours in a day so you you cannot get everything done in a day unless you work really, really hard. So you have to adjust but not just re-adjusting the priorities is important as well. Making priorities what is needed to be done first. That is the issue I am having is dealing with priorities. But I need to re-adjust and not think about what's next. You do what needs to be done first then you move on so what could be the issue is I am thinking too far ahead which overwhelms me so I need to re-adjust my brain to focus on what is going now. Anyways that is all I have to say, hope this helps to those who feel overwhelmed with things on a daily basis and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Still Behind Schedule.... Sighs...

              Things haven't been going according to plan, we're behind schedule as it is yet again and it is really starting to annoy the heck out of me like really. I don't always complain about the workload too often nor say much what happens behind the scenes but I am quite annoyed... Not with you guys but myself. I feel anxious a bit, I feel frustrated, I feel annoyed and honestly it is good I am kind of venting. This is what being a content creator and running your own media company there is a ton of work. 

               This is why it is important to have a recording schedule and to stay on track. I feel good that this week I will be all caught up on things that I could even start streaming on weekends if I wish. However that will be later on taking it one thing at a time but by the end of the week or weekend we should be on track entirely with shows. I already have Ken's interview ready at the helm for this weekend. Anyways I am trying to be patient through this all and one step at a time. However I will talk to you guys tomorrow for another amazing blog post.

Let's Talk Entertainment Man Podcast Shorts!

                Entertainment Man Podcast has been firing on all cylinders with the Shorts game. I think I have gotten into a good rhythm with editing shorts and the podcast itself and this is a good start for me when it comes to podcasting. I am amazed how hard I've worked on the shorts and the views have been up and good that I am getting some views but still  got a lot of work to do with the channel and that's why I am only focusing on the two channels for now. 

              I love to highlight the upcoming episode which I will be doing a few days prior and after. It was suggested to me in a meeting I had this week and I am so excited for a new era of the podcast. YouTube Shorts has helped improve the numbers on the channel and gain a whole pile of subscribers so the haters can doubt the podcast all they want cause this is the most subscribers I have gotten ever. Very proud of that but anyways that is today's post for today and reminder we are back to Five days a week so Kelsie will be doing the end of the week updates so I will be talking to you on Monday and I have a pile of content for the first 2 days of the week but I will talk to you all then.

Chris

Content Schedule Changes 2025!

           As you know by the recent poll I made I have made the decision to drop the bonus episode of Entertainment Man Podcast On Wednesdays. To be honest, I don't have a topic that is less time as I go between 15 - 20 minutes long and the views for Wednesday shows hasn't been great. You guys love the long form content. So replacing that podcast is The CBOTW Show but it will be premiering on Wednesdays @ 6 pm EST. Here is the schedule starting January 1st, 2025:

Sundays: 1 pm EST- Entertainment Man Podcast (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Will be premiered

                  2 pm EST (Sporadically): Gaming Stream (YouTube/Twitch) LIVE

Monday - Saturdays: Daily Blogs

Wednesdays: 6 pm EST- The CBOTW Show (YouTube/Audio ONLY) Will be premiered

Saturdays: 1 pm EST- Weekly Chat (Facebook/YouTube/Twitch) LIVE

          So that is the schedule moving forward as we continue to grow our network and we test and add new content to the network, this is a good start for us right now. Anyways that is the post for today as always thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Getting Frustrated

             YouTube was a bit of a pain in the butt. Was having issues with a "Processing Error" on there and you can understand the frustration and truly my anxiety went through the roof on this. I have been fighting this for a while now. I just want to get these finished so I can move on but I think it's definitely a YouTube issue not me. However we know it is a longer episode, hour and a half long, 1 hour long and 18 minutes long so and the first and third one went up no problem whatsoever so that is really strange.

            But I continued to trying to get it up so you guys get to see this but now I need to try and keep episodes to at least an hour long for the nearby future because I have uploaded an hour podcast on "Entertainment Man Podcasts" YouTube Channel with 0 problems. Just this channel seems to be the problematic issue right now. It does sound like something YouTube related cause Entertainment Man hasn't had a problem in the past! Anyways that is the blog post for today, I thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Chris

Why do we have 3 YouTube Channels?

             I know things are completely now off the rails but I made a promise when it came to streaming at least weekly for Just Chatting with Gaming Stream when I had extra time on my hands and I ended up deleting the original channel which when I brought it back up I was still a Moderator in Sonal's channel and Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube Channel which is hilarious actually. Glad I am able to keep helping my friends out with moderating their channels as well as Streaming on my own weekly with the occasional gaming stream.

            Now as you know Entertainment Man Podcast is sticking to it's schedule meanwhile The CBOTW Show sticking to every 2nd week schedule which people don't mind cause the channel is growing even on a bi-weekly schedule people enjoy that schedule. So do not worry I will figure a way to juggle all three channels but the just chatting streams will be on both Facebook and YouTube on the weekly basis. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

Chris

Blogs for 6 days this week and next week

          With me busy with local and events in Toronto, I have decided to expand the schedule to Saturday once again and I think this may end up being a permanent basis for the rest of the year as their has been endless amount of content. Because now, I am looking at two blog posts as of Friday which is insane to have so much content for the website it's unreal. You guys are so very lucky to have a ton of content really. 

           I think putting our blogs 6 days a week soon is going to be taking affect soon like really. I am now convinced we need to make this move NOW, not in January 2024, however I am holding onto the decision to make the switch. Because I want to see if it is needed this year or if it can wait till next year. We will see as I am already preparing for the end of the year. This blog may be a bit shorter but that is today's post and I will speak to you all tomorrow! 

Chris

Great Content coming out this week/weekend!

            This week is an exciting week. There is a ton of content both blog posts and Podcast wise! Tomorrow is the next episode of The CBOTW Show which will be going out at 1 pm EST. I know that podcast is very, very loved and a lot of love for the podcast is there especially the ones on my own. I know Larry and I haven't been very active with the ones with the both of us. But that is coming back soon. More details to come very, very soon, I promise! 

            Entertainment Man Podcast is celebrating the 200th episode and there will be a premiere at 7 pm EST. This is to help anyone that works they can also listen to it so the 1 pm EST slot will be more open and there is the TikTok and YouTube shorts that actually go up but as for content, the afternoon is more open and I am sure I will have updates as I have been working in the studio lately. I have been cleaning up the studio preparing it for Larry's return hopefully soon. But awesome content is coming stay tuned for more. Hope you guys enjoy the two podcasts this week along with blogs I have to release this week and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

I'm Recording My 500th Episode as a Podcaster!

              Tomorrow I will be recording my 500th episode of the podcast and what an amazing podcast to pay homage to the last 500 episodes I have done whether it was Reality TV, Entertainment Man or The CBOTW Show. It has been such an amazing last 500 and I never thought I would get to this moment where I would be celebrating 500 episodes as a podcaster. The next big moment will be the 1000th episode then 5000 but I am getting a little ahead of myself.

             I have you guys to thank for supporting me the last 8 years since starting this podcasting and it has been such an amazing adventure for me! I have learned so much as a podcaster and you probably will hear this for me but either way I cannot wait for you guys to hear this episode of the podcast, was a great one that I did and yes it will be premiered this weekend as I promised that I would do a premiere this weekend. But for right now that is the post for today and as always I will talk to you all tomorrow!

Taking Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube A Notch!

          I have taken Entertainment Man Podcast's YouTube Channel a notch. Meaning taking it to the next level. That is what I wanted to do with it actually. I have actually use a side called https://www.befunky.com and also https://pixabay.com for my graphics. My team and I have been using this site for about a week almost and found it so much better then Paint.Net which was what we were using previously with our graphical projects especially for my Podcasts YouTube thumbnail that you see each and every week. I have put the template of mine on the right hand side so you guys see how we do it.

          Now we also use for the graphical end for the photos adding our own selfies into the graphics to remove the backgrounds for the selfies we used a website called https://www.remove.bg/ which all 3 websites are free to use and really helps with the quality of the banners and we may end up fixing all our banners for ChrisBOnTheWeb alone to look better and look a ton better. This is definitely going to help with the views and the complainers cannot go bashing the thumbnails cause my Community Manager made it and did a fantastic job so haters can hate all they want, this is why there is a block button. Anyways that is the post, thought I'd share this little tidbit of news and already using the new graphics as we speak but I will speak to you all tomorrow for another food review.
