brendanbald.ethWhy Storytelling Turns NFT Owners From Short-Term Flippers To Long-Term Holders
Greed may have brought you into the NFT space, but storytelling will be the reason you stay.I’ve been eyeballs deep in NFTs for 15 months and I’ve seen my fair share. The majority of people enter the NFT space with one intent — to make money. And the best way to make quick money with NFTs is to flip them. Now, I’m not against making money. Money’s great. But it’s difficult for NFT projects to develop loyal communities if everyone wants to make a quick profit. So what’s an NFT project to do? T...

Here are the 3 easy ways street photographers can avoid looking like creepers.1️⃣ Keep Your 📸 At Your 👁 Until Your Subject Walks Past You.f yo...

Publishing daily video content is not as hard as you’d think.
I’ve published thousands of videos over the last 5 years. My total view count is well into the millions. I ideate, film, and publish every single day.
Here’s exactly how I do it.
This is the most important step. Make time for your video content. 1–2 hours should be enough.
This’ll save you a ton of time.
I make sure all of my equipment is set up the night before. I currently use a Sony A7iii Camera, Soft box (key light), Luxli LED (fill light), Ring Light (back light), and Sennheiser MKE 600 Shotgun Microphone.
That equipment works for me, but you could do exactly what I do with a cell phone and light from a window.
I write 3 short scripts in my notebook before filming. Writing my ideas down ahead of time helps clarify my thoughts. It also gives me something to refer to when filming.
I don’t memorize my scripts. I’ll say a couple points, refer to my script, then say a couple more. I leave room for improv of course, but the script keeps me organized.
Once I’ve nailed 3 solid takes, I take my SD card to my MacBook and edit in Final Cut Pro.
I export my 3 videos from Final Cut and airdrop them to my phone. I then run each video through a caption generator app (Captions: For Talking Videos).
I immediately publish one of my finished videos across all platforms. I save the other 2 for later.
And that’s a wrap!
The above steps can be repeated on a daily basis. The hardest part is making the time to get er’ done.
The rest is a breeze.
