We Continue to Grow!

         ChrisBOnTheWeb Media is now starting it's transition stage. What does that mean? Is anything changing? CBOTW will continue to blog Monday - Fridays with the occasional Saturdays, Entertainment Man Podcast and The CBOTW Show continue to produce and put out episodes. Events will continue to happen as always. The team isn't changing, nothing is changing really when it comes to ChrisBOnTheWeb Media. 

          This just means we are expanding the brand and team as with Jeff being the most addition to the team, he will be doing a podcast and a name you guys are familiar
with that I haven't  mentioned in a very long time. Content and activities with CBOTW Media isn't changing but our team has now expanded and a new era of ChrisBOnTheWeb has started. As it should after almost 9 years of operations it is time for some more growth. Trust me we've been growing and we continue to grow this empire! Anyways that is the post, I wanted to share the amazing news and thank you for reading and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Trying To Be A Transformation Leader.....

           I know recently, I haven't been the best leader especially a transformational leader too. I have failed to be that leader that will be inspirational and motivate the team. I am so embarrassed to be the leader after yesterday but accused of something that isn't true. Also the entire team a name and wish things on me and my family and attacking the team again isn't going to fly with me whatsoever. I'm letting it go, I have a potential replacement but Kelsie is currently an intern like Jeff is to earn a spot on the team.

              Sometimes you need to just take control and say OK that's enough. Especially like in my boat putting up with the insults and wishes on my family you need to step in and say that enough and make any of the changes you need to make. I have been through toxic people, in the past and have learned from that in the past. Especially with it came to CBOTW (ChrisBOnTheWeb) and not going to let it happen again. I have learned from that in the past and now I can move forward with things. Anyways that is the post for today and I will talk to you all tomorrow!

The CBOTW Show Keeps Being Added!

              Already posted the platforms but I wanna talk about this: Because not within a hour or so the podcast started to flourish already onto other platforms! Which is incredible and one of them being GoodPods which they actually follow me on Twitter so they've seen my updates on the preparation of the merge so they knew it was coming so big thank you to them for picking it up. Already claimed it on the app I was quick to getting it. 

            Now I have added the podcast to two platforms: First one is obviously iTunes which had to go through a lot of hoops and fences to get it on there. Meaning they had to process the feed then the image was not the right size so I have to resize that to 1400x1400 but I should know the requirements for that, been on iTunes for a long time now and should of known better but am on there. Also added the podcast to Spotify too so it is on there as well. Other platforms include Podparadise, Podbean. So we are underway with bringing the podcast back up and running and it will expand over time I'm sure. I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post.

2023 Is The Year of Letting Go and Growth!

           This year is the year of me letting go. I already have forgiven 2 people and we aren't friends per say right now but me not being mad at em anymore is a start to maybe reconciling a friendship later on but I am going to take baby steps at this point and all I can really do right? I know I am not on the best of terms with other people but I am just going to let it go and move on to the big goals I have for the website.  

              I will re-iterate what I mean. I am continuing on with Entertainment Man Podcast, I wanna continue on with the growth of the podcast. I will get into goals for the podcast in 2023. Finishing up the collaboration podcast with all the season minus season 30 which isn't out till later in the year. Also breaking the Video Projects Team record amount of days which is 3,262 days on Oct 19th, 2023 being the day we tie that amount and Oct 20th, 2023 breaking it at 3,263 days. Getting there as today is Day # 2,971. Closing in on the days. Now the website has already seen growth as it is. I wanna try and break 500k is the big ultimate goal in the number which means half a million of you visited ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. Anyways that is today's post, I hope I fullfill my goals and dreams this year, same with you guys as well and as always I will talk to you tomorrow!

Really Am Proud of Myself!

                   I knew I would snap out of this funk I was in, was just the matter of time and I think a lot of it had to do with my sleep schedule. My sleep has been the worst and soon as I took Melatonin it helped but as I write this post, I can only take it for a week then off for a month so I have to try a different method but if I don't sleep, I'll keep myself busy especially in the studio but I have recently been to bed 115 and midnight the last while.  With the lack of sleep I was doubting myself but now I am loving life to it's fullest and I am a lot more happier minus the days I kind of snap at anything but there is the highs and lows in your day to day life and that's OK. Thursday was a lot better then what it was before which is good to have those good days. However the day I was down I just didn't feel that motivated to work on anything, just felt like playing video games and it is important to have those down days as well but I mean I diddly daddlied a ton to a point Super Samurai wasn't getting done. 

                   So that is why Super Samurai was cancelled and rescheduled to June 2nd when LR (Larry) will make his triumphed return to this very studio and I cannot wait till he does! It is very, very exciting. I have to remember the positives: I hang out with Eric weekly, Larry is returning to the studio in June so those are things I can actually look forward to as the weeks go on and we get closer to that goal. Anyways I need to finish off Super Samurai before confirming June 2nd is a go. I haven't even confirmed it with Larry yet neither! Anyways even Eric has been in the studio with me for a few minutes and he even signed the sign in sheet. I know during this pandemic I have doubted my content but things have progressed well during all of this changes in the world and I really have stepped up my game and I am nothing but proud of the hard work I have put into all of this despite some of the mishaps that has happened but that will happen at sometime. Anyways that is today's post, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

The Website Has Grow Massively In The Last 5 Years!

              Towards the end of the week last week, I actually was going through the blogs as I mentioned, I removed the negative posts, etc. Anyways, I compared the views from 5 years ago, 2017 compare to now 2022 and what a difference from 10,000 views compare to now, so it's massively grown as I am just over 360k (360,000) website views, that is like 70k a year that I get on the website which doesn't seem like much but it is! I don't wanna brag a lot but it is amazing to see the difference from when I started to now. It truly goes to show the hard work I put on my website on a day to day basis and always adding or fixing things on the website. I just keep grinding hard to get those amazing views and one day I am sure that my YouTube channel will reach that status as I know Entertainment Man Podcast is here to stay for years to come! 

               I probably told you guys and given advice to keep on going on your content! It will happen one day. Like I was told in a recent interview I did for my podcast you gotta find your niche and I think I found the right kind of niche to be quite honest. What I plan on doing moving forward is to keep things as they are and not keep changing things around. That is the one thing I found is if I change anything around on here, you guys get confused what is happening so I am sticking to the current schedule for content. I rather stay on a consistant schedule then being inconsistant. Being consistant is the way to go if you wanna see success. That is the post for today, thanks for reading and I will speak to you all tomorrow!

Experiencing Growing Pains Again With ChrisBOnTheWeb

                 It is not exactly ChrisBOnTheWeb.com that's experiencing the growing pains, well yes it's growing the site has experienced a ton of growth but this time I am talking about Entertainment Man Podcast. As you know with the views growing on the podcast has equaled a bunch of issues and it is definitely some growing pains that I am experiencing once again. It is what it is and I just gotta tackle one thing at a time when it comes to these technical issues and luckily it has nothing to do with the recording, I think it's platforms cannot handle my crazy personality... LOL... Guess that is what happens when something you love doing continuously grows well you know what hits the fan and that's OK. That is why there is support emails to get help when something like this goes wrong like it has this week. 

                   I guess this is a bit of an update because what I am saying is the listens popped back up but the crazy stupid loop issue last I checked it was still looping at the end which it ain't me as other platforms are fine and the hard copy which I physically checked on my computer was just fine all together. So definitely is a Stitcher. It is nice I am keeping you guys in the loop and when I said I wasn't going to promote it, I meant it. That is me refusing to promote the platform cause I do not need YOU guys to listen to a dumb loop at the end. I thought about actually recording it to show you guys one day what happened but thought however decided to not do it. I have supported Stitcher for nearly 5 years now and haven't had an issue with them since the earlier years which is now behind me. However I plan on promoting Player FM instead at this moment and starting this weekend I will be promoting it and already started changing the links around ahead of schedule and yes I checked the links.

I Never Told You Guys This!

              Last month, the website saw a brand new record as you know the website itself get between 2000 and 2600 views but last month we saw massive more amount. We saw 4000, yes 4k in views on the website which I didn't tell you guys this the other day when I made the announcement 2 days ago. Anyways it a lot of views within the month and I am quite impressed. I guess the next step is 5k in views? Who knows but I am not rushing anything really. Like the quote says: "You Cannot Rush Greatness" which is totally right and you cannot push the issue. However I have been working so hard on growing the website and even today when I just saw I was just tad below the 100 mark which means I have gotten views, so you guys are always checking to see if any new content is published on the website which is great! There is a few new pages that I did forget to mention The Entertainment Man Podcast and Archives Pages but you guys have found it I'm sure in the drop down. 


             However I am getting off topic, the growth on this website has indeed been impressive and let's just continue to keep on growing the website and bringing in new content to the website. I also am planning something else that will even bring the numbers up even more and yes I am referring to the Power Rangers Podcast as there is an announcement that I will be dropping on the blog on Sunday as both Larry and I have talked yesterday for about 20 minutes about this and I will be announcing it on Sunday. Anyways the point is this announcement will be a big move not for just Larry and I but also for the website which will be bringing in more numbers and even more growth to the website. So that is what is going on with the website and I know it's exciting that we have marked another milestone. There will be plenty more of milestones and this is only the beginning for the website.

I'm Impressed With The Growth and More!

              I admit sitting back and looking at the growth of the website it is just amazing to watch the site grow and grow and every month it seems to get more then the previous months so it is going up hill in views not down so that is definitely a good thing. However it is exciting to watch on a daily basis to see the viewership on a day to day basis and it truly does help too. Before when I was on the other provider for the web builder which I will not mention who as they kept suspending my site I wasn't getting as much in the way of views but since I switched to Blogger the website views have gone up and I can say I am getting closer to 60K  on this site and its been almost a year since I switched over entirely and I am really happy with the result. Another thing I found and really like about the site I have a bit more freedom and I have learned so much about code when it comes to the website too. Also I may as well point this out is the amount of change I have made to the website has probably a big factor in the growth of the website and you guys really have enjoyed the changes. I was thinking about the menu bar since back in the early spring of this year and I started the research stages but ever since it was released it has become quite a popular website.


               The website will continue on growing for years to come and I am sure the more people promote the website and the more I post up on social the better. Same with the posts. Honestly with the addition of Jeff L and Steven aka Corvette this website is definitely going to grow a lot more and that post will come January 1st, 2020 which will be my official yearly what is to come in 2020 and what not. Right now my team and I are working on the future planning of CBOTW and the chat being the new addition to the website is only the start which again tomorrow I will be talking about chat and how you guys can get involved with chatting on there and the basics behind the chat as I did forget to mention how you are able to chat here on the website outside of any of the social media platforms that CBOTW is on at this current time. In the end I am very impressed with the website growth and the podcast growth since I made some changes to the podcast itself so it have definitely made a difference over the last several days and I have noticed the growth with the podcast as well. I will continue to grow things and come 2020 it is going to be amazing I can tell you that and I cannot wait to tell you guys what is in-stored for 2020!

I Told You 2019 Year Was Going To Be Huge!

                  Being now half way, more then half way through the year now, I can say this year has been a crazy year and has been such a fun year for the podcast, this website and the blog. I will start with the website. As you all know, ChrisBOnTheWeb.com has been down since September of 2018 of last year till January of this year when I moved the entire website to here on blogger and it has proven to be a huge SUCCESS and yes I capitalized the word "Success" because it has proven to do well under the new provider and the price of the domain is so reasonable too but that doesn't matter. I have been thinking about going to a blogging website with chrisbontheweb.com domain so it was no secret that I was thinking about it and I know I had a temporary address but that now changed but was a huge step for me and has proved a lot as the views have grown rapidly and very fast and I am always looking at the analytics for the website, pages within the website and also the blog some days the views are really high so its amazing to watch on a regular basis. The next part is the Podcasts. Ever since covering Music City on CMT since their first season last year it really blew up my podcast in a good way and of course we won't know about a 3rd season till late Summer in early August and yes I will be doing it one way or another. 


                     The blog has been doing extremely well, it has been getting more and more noticed, no more attention then it has been from when it started so moving to a blogger website was the best move as it has been more noticed then when I was on the other provider that went ban happy with my website and I almost wanted to abandon it but finally did in September till the domain you guys are on now expired with the original provider now with this website if that makes any sense at all. However the blog continues to surprise me honestly and I am sure as things continue it will be a continuing success for years to come. I am excited for whats coming up next plus I am sure there will be some Power Rangers Podcasts coming in the fall as I always promise from year to year 4 episodes to come out on my website per year in two different sessions. One usually late Spring and one in the fall as it depends on my schedule. 2 per session usually as we do not wanna over stress ourselves out but that is on the docket this fall indefinitely. Also will be back at the Ukrainian and Polish Festivals this year, The Royal Winter Fair, Tyrone Parade of Lights, Port Perry Parade are all on the list as usual and I made some tweaks and changes with a few events this year, no food truck this year and as you know I made the big change and not bringing CBOTW to the Autism Celebration this year. Either way the rest of this year will be indeed amazing and excited to see what else this year brings to me!

2018 is The Year of Success!

              I was reminded by my friend Dave, that I've been on a crazy adventure, from YouTube to the Audio ONLY Podcasts and this has been a dream of mine which has truly become a dream come true and I am doing something I am very passionate about and I can consider myself a super fan of Reality Television as I live and breathe it each and every week especially with me doing recaps several times a week and who'd think it would become very popular. I do got plans for the fall, adding another TV Show to the list of the recaps but that is for later on to add. This year so far has been so successful in the last year and 5 months of the podcast running on Audio ONLY, it is so surreal to watch a podcast become a success, not only the podcast but the blog posts and interviews I have done with people, it's become such a wild and crazy adventure but I love every moment of doing it. 


                 Within a year, I went over double the views I had a year ago and it is just so amazing to watch the growth rapidly and fast. It is overwhelming but in the same way it makes me smile to see the growth but not only that, it's the feedback from you guys the greatest fans I have in the entire world. I appreciate the positive feedback given, I've not had any really negative feedback from you guys. When I said on social media 2018 is going to be the year for me in the way of success, I meant it and I think this year being in our 3rd month of 2018, I think it's been very successful so far as I people are reaching out to me to collaborate with me and other email which I cannot talk about until this is confirmed it is happening but I am excited to see what will happen for the remainder of this year. However please note that there is still plenty of 2018 left and lots of collaborations to come on the list and one interview as well but I am excited to what is to come. I've already been talking to the person about it and in their ear about hopefully Late April into May to record the podcast and get it out to you guys. I don't really know the schedule as of right now, but got a small idea how it will look but hopefully soon I can figure out the scheduling so this way I can bring it out to you guys soon.  Finally I am really proud on how far things have progressed and I am nothing but proud of the accomplishments I have made over the course of the last year and a half since doing everything on my own and I got no regrets doing things on my own with minimal to no help anymore and I am nothing but looking forward to the future.

2017, A Year In Review!

              So here is my own year in review and what I thought of this year alone. I thought honestly, this year was an interesting year. Full of drama, friendships gone, people turning on me but I can say this year has been a productive year for me as I have been very much active with Chris B On The Web and I admit, this year is a year of change and I am quite happy with what went on this year. 

      
                This year saw a whole pile of changes that went on from the CBOTW Staff being dissolved entirely was the best move I have made as I became a happier person and trust me I have gotten so much work done in the entire year including the anticipation of the upcoming road to the 100th episode of Everything About Reality TV which is close but will obviously not happen this year but I pushed the envelope to hopefully get to it or at least get close to the 100th episode. Well 9 episodes to go, I am going into 2018 with the intention of recording the 100th episode of Everything About Reality TV and I am excited for it. Also I started making plans to start collaborating with friends and fans of Chris B On The Web and I executed the plan in 2018 to start collaborating and now you guys know and I know what the plan is as I blogged about it recently and it will be an exciting upcoming year! This year, I wanted to focus on podcasts and blog posts and the events I go to each and every year! Speaking of events, I decided not to return to the Greek Festival due to it being so busy, being pushed around and people telling me off when they were in my way. Also this is the first time in 2 years I decided to not to go to the Autism Celebration and part of the reason, as I ran out of money and there was so hassle in 2016. But I do or would like to go back but not entirely 100% sure if I will be back. Just recently I kind of was thinking, I am going to give my spot to someone else, I have been doing this for years on end, but don't get me wrong, I enjoyed going each and every year and if I was to go back, I have a few ideas in my mind if I do plan on going back. Also I made the decision to allow Larry into the blog as an alumni but we haven't seen him blog yet but he will be soon enough.  Also I saw the growth of both social media's, Facebook Group & Twitter for Chris B On The Web, almost 3200 followers on Twitter and currently standing on the Facebook group 33 members strong! The CBOTW Army is growing and growing fast!


               This year was a very productive and busy year for me and trust me you have not seen nothing yet and no I am not quoting the song lyrics from the song but I am very content what went on this year and I looking forward to 2018 and what is to come for Chris B On The Web. Have a Safe and Happy New Year and be sure to lookout for my New Years Post on New Years Day.

Plans For Chris B On The Web & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com!

              I know it's been a week since i posted up a blog post and its because I have been extremely busy with thing and this is why I am writing this bit of an update after I took the post of the announcement here on the blog I now wanna make it clear the plans I have for the website:

- The next big plan is to involve for right now at least one one of my Alumni, also known as my Former Staff blog for the website and someone was picked after a great consideration I chose Larry Rieck a long time friend since College. Why you may ask? Well he like to write and hes got a passion of talking about video games and also Reality TV so he will give you insight with those and it can be anything he wants to talk about as long as it is 300 words or more so. It will be nice to have someone write about Reality TV too he will give you guys his insight on what is going on in the world of Reality TV and I am already guessing Hell's Kitchen will be having a place on this blog as I am not planning on recapping Hell's Kitchen, I thought about it but kind of changed my mind at the last minute to do the coverage but he more then likely will be talking about it and I can see him blogging about it every week. 

- Final thing I would like to mention on today's blog and I apologize profusely for such a lengthy blog post but this has to be announced sooner then later. Anyways the last update I have is I will be doing several collab podcasts with a few of my friends. I got 2 in the back of my mind right now and an interview setup. 1) Interview with Jeff Livingstone 2) CBOTW Presents: Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Talk with hopefully Larry which will be recorded in one full day in 3 parts, one for each season.  3) A collab on Everything About Reality TV with Justin which I am second guessing as BBCan6 is now happening, I had something completely different in mind about it but I will figure out a revise on it someway, somehow. 

Those are my updates and again I am sorry for the long post but so much to announce, so much happening and exciting news to share with you all and Chris B On The Web & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com are growing so fast and rapidly and the site itself has reached 14.5k (14,500) website views in the last year and it is just crazy but I am one proud owner! 


Have a great day!

Never Giving Up & Following Your Heart!

                   No matter how much you are hated for the content or whatever you are doing out there you don't let anyone put you down whatsoever, don't let anyone get to you, like the saying goes, haters will hate. If you are on social media the best thing is to block the "haters" and not worry about them anymore. Also if you own a website like I own and run my own website: chrisbontheweb.com and it has a feature like I have to block IP Addresses, that is the best tool to have. I can share that I do got an counter on my website but you guys cannot see it whatsoever but it is on the site in the website html within the site. But anyway of security of your website helps you in any way, shape or form. Now even if things are going bad for example for me YouTube views going down or my team leaving me one by one, doesn't mean it is time to give up. Perhaps maybe time to change things up, for example I gave up YouTube because of my team decided to quit and turn their backs on me which I am now no longer upset or mad with them at this point but it was in great timing as YouTube was changing, the terms of service changed and I am sure tons of my old content would of been demonetized for some of the videos had language. So moving to blogging and podcasts was the best move I ever made as I have seen success with this podcast and planning to expand it in the future or bring back Team Chris B On The Web in the nearby future. You see I kept on trying and not giving up. I wasn't going to leave poor Chris B On The Web & chrisbontheweb.com to just sit empty and not in use anymore, someway, somehow I figured out what to put on the website in the way of content. 


                   Now as for following your heart, my heart told me it wasn't into YouTube anymore, I think I just grew out of the platform, did it for 10 years and didn't see much success in it hence I made the quickest and quietest exit out of any YouTuber, no questions ask, I just left deleted the channel and I should of stored the episodes on my computer for keep sake so I declared it ended after 4 seasons with possibility of Lost Episodes. So you see there I felt like I have completed a good solid run on YouTube and connected with tons of other YouTuber's and felt like The Entertainment Man Talk Show was ready to end it's run with it's 75 episodes and plus my team fell apart so myself & Justin came off the YouTube platform and the rest is written I began podcasting after a summer break as I felt it is the new thing on TV these days and there are tons of Reality TV so I followed my heart with that. Also my blogging took off with people re-tweeting and liking my posts when I put up the blog posts everyday or every second day, same goes with the podcast I am currently doing, I followed my heart to what I thought felt right and that will work for myself and Chris B On The Web & ChrisBOnTheWeb.com and what will be successful and not fail, but I'm not saying the others things I did wasn't successful, they were but I just got tired and part of following your heart, sometimes making tough decisions are a big part of it. I know that from dealing with it for almost the last year of did I make the right decision but now I know I did but when you follow your heart it takes time to re-grow what you love to do, so you have to be very patient to let things re-grow your passion and trust me it is very very worth it!


Have a great night!



Chris
