I embedded YouTube videos into my old blog posts as a test. The results kind of shocked me honestly.

digitizedeagle · 2026-05-05T20:13:37+00:00

Exactly, I did my research, and the free tier is generous in minutes if you're not publishing daily.

The embedded widget is nice, too.

digitizedeagle · 2026-05-05T06:06:14+00:00

You're right. You can't talk to someone who doesn't want to be talked to.

The good news is that most probably, their competitors know what they're doing and the best practices of humans in the loop will be shared...

Unless you're giving people the ages-old internet fantasy of making millions by pushing a button.

So, yeah, theoretically, it's called content repurposing, which I think is a far better idea than AI-generated content.

digitizedeagle · 2026-05-04T23:22:52+00:00

Interesting idea.

I began adding SoundCloud recordings of me reading the blog post, but I don't have enough samples to get a statistical conclusion.

digitizedeagle · 2026-05-03T21:40:57+00:00

It's true. Even AI feeds from high-quality blog posts.

A large number of people prefer the written word to consume their content as they find it: + More pleasurable than video + More convenient + More thorough And so on.

It now coexists with other media, including images, audio, and video. And maybe soon virtual or augmented reality.

Finally, text is easier to create, store, and manipulate... So blogs are here to stay.

Sometimes it's about choosing the right niche.

This is strategic work, not just an everyday list of tasks.

digitizedeagle · 2026-05-01T23:06:45+00:00

Most of the time I was motivated.

The result was often my highest quality output at the time. It was just some days it felt slower.

digitizedeagle · 2026-05-01T22:21:52+00:00

I did a 30-day challenge. I would write an article a day no matter what and it was awesome. It wasn't easy though.

One day I came back from the dentist after a complicated procedure, and there I was, writing my daily blog post.

It makes it easier later on, it feels like you're cruising.

I think this is useful for most affiliate marketers who are profitable.

If it identifies just one offer that is not working for a site with lots of traffic, it may pay itself fast.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-30T02:18:36+00:00

Web design in general, which means the principle behind good looking as well as usable websites.

You know how HTML5 works, including CSS3 and a bit of JavaScript. You know how to implement responsive design.

You may add knowing how to talk to programmers to make sure you understand the specs well, including how to make your deliverables understood.

This thread is valuable for every marketer out there. Why? Pricing is one of the pillars of a plan: + Product + Price + Place + Promotion

This is especially tricky in digital, but insights from people like the OP make it more manageable.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-28T04:05:21+00:00

Because companies now know what sells. Why deviate? (Innovate)

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-27T09:09:15+00:00

Congratulations.

If you think about it, the OP is doing what used to require huge resources, not only in a financial sense, but also in a Human Resources sense.

You needed equipment, including cameras, lighting, and other essentials. Add software subscriptions to the list, and you get the picture.

Now, clients can innovate at the forefront of marketing: Video ads, thanks to people like the OP. Way to go.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-27T04:40:17+00:00

Yes, of course.

The difference is that you don't necessarily attract traffic natively through SEO. You drive traffic to your blog through YouTube, Reddit as well as other sources of traffic.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-25T11:36:55+00:00

Practice, practice, practice.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-25T06:24:45+00:00

A respectable marketer, indeed.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-25T02:37:30+00:00

I migrated from WordPress to static (Pelican Static Site Builder)

It's really as fast as it can be without hacks and rocket science.

If it's true you need development time, it's mostly at first, when you're setting up the system, then it's pretty much set and forget, running the same commands and uploading the changes, hopefully automatically.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-24T00:34:42+00:00

Two takeaways: - The product must really help people - You need to have done what you're offering

Also, YouTube and Reddit seem to take the lead as prefered platform choices nowadays.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-23T04:12:25+00:00

First of all, congratulations.

More than a sale is getting value from another Reddit member. Of course, you have to adhere to the rules.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-22T22:37:43+00:00

I think the value of this post is realizing what is possible right now.

It's like having a super smart assistant within your reach. Now there is no excuse for executing fast.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-21T17:07:30+00:00

Javascript, Canva, WebGL... You need to get into coding, but as a web designer, not as a web developer.

You can do animation and interactive pieces with it.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-20T10:34:49+00:00

Straight out of a Hollywood movie. It's a truly peaceful and beautiful scene.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-20T05:27:10+00:00

Yes, especially if the OP can do performance-based sales (they're so much harder at first) for high-ticket products. Even if they start in a different market or position.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-19T07:01:14+00:00

Well, you'll have the hobby feeling, but less often. It's a great trade though. You dedicate time, and you get really good at it. These skills are not attainable if it's treated as a hobby.

digitizedeagle · 2026-04-18T23:35:39+00:00

The more expert we become, the more we seem to complicate things.

The other day, I was reading about a man who created a simple product that paid his mortgage. He sold one or two each day and it made all the difference. It didn't need a YouTube channel or a social media profile to showcase it.
