Hi All!
I am George Pierce, I have about 20 years of experience as an IM, so everything should go like clockwork, right? I wish. The fact is that more and more things will work for you, as you gain experience. This post is about when we get served lemons. Lemons come with the territory, it is no big deal, depending on what we do with those lemons. We cannot always make lemonade out of them, but, when we try, some incredible things happen.
Once in a while, we will succeed in making lemonade. Also as we gain experience, our chances of making lemonade keep improving. More importantly, is that lemons test our mettle and ultimately make us stronger. Our best learning comes from adversity. Of course, I do not love it, when things do not go right, but I know that is when I am probably going to learn something...something new, something better, something more effective.
My Story:
Today I had two lemonade situations, thus the reason for this post. I have been on vacation for over two weeks, so I am trying to get 'caught up'!
Above is a thumbnail of a video that began almost 50 minutes long. YT cut it down to about 50 seconds, but not all at once. It nibbled here and there and there and here, a little each time. Why? It kept finding copyright issues. YT allows me to trim the segment (remove the segment) that has an issue. After a while, it was funny, I stuck with it, just to see how far YT would go. Many multiple trims later, here is the lemonade.
📺Bob Barker | The Price Is Right (1985) | Mr. P's QUICKIE | Vintage Game Shows
I changed the title from FULL EPISODE to Mr. P's QUICKIE. Guess what? Folks are watching it and liking it. Of course, I would take the video down, if the response was negative.
AHA!
When you try to make lemonade and fail...you did not fail, as mentioned, you learned a thing or two. And you can take it down.
The other example is that I had some Captain Kangaroo shows that seemed like a mish-mosh of content. The lemon (mish mosh) turned out to be more like a puzzle, all the pieces were there, in fact, there were a few extra, such as some excellent old commercials (that I have not published yet), and also a blooper segment that is below.
The bloopers are not setting the world on fire, but they are ranking #1 as you see above. I am a fan of Captain Kangaroo, and the bloopers crack me up each and every time I see them. I hope that others will enjoy them as much as I do.
The bottom line is that, out of the lemons, I got what I believe is a video that is going to perform well.
Thank you for reading.
Much success,
George Pierce
PS. Enjoy the bloopers:

For sure you learn from your bad experiences and turn them into good ones. I see that you have learned something new about Youtube and found a way to do it according to Youtube community standards. After all it's there site and you have to behave or they will remove your account.
I agree, YT runs the show. But playing ball with YT and Google pays, thank you, Terri.
That's for sure.
