51 Minutes of Video Streaming Q&A on Blogging
Over the last few days I’ve been running a number of impromptu video streaming sessions on ustream (on my ProBlogger channel). The sessions have largely been Question and Answer times with a lot of the questions being the kind of questions I get asked a lot – so today I thought I’d record the session and make it available to others who were not on the live stream. Here it is (I hope Ustream is able to keep up with the demand – it’s been a bit slow for me today and I’ve heard a few others say they’ve struggled to see it):
If you’d like to know when I do these Ustream sessions I tend to announce them on my Twitter account – alternatively follow me on Ustream and I’ll hopefully answer your questions next time.
Update: Apologies to those not able to view this. For some reason Ustream’s ability to play this video for quite a few people is compromised – I’m not sure what the problem and feel your frustration – in fact I’m not even able to view it myself. What’s the problem Ustream?

Hi Darren,
Video restarts after 46 seconds or so.. not sure why it’s doing that. Does the same here as well as on ustream

I loved the answer to the question about your most bizarre experience lol. Nice video and I like the community of bloggers that gather here on your site mate. Cheers!

Thanks Darren, I was able to view about the first 10 minutes before the stream became kind of dodgy, but I’ll come back at a later time, and hopefully Ustream will have gotten their act together.

This was cool. Thanks for answering my question. I’ve learned a lot from you. I am a new blogger but an old journalist. A lot of fun!
I write mostly on B2B and social media but throw humor in there now and then (like today). If you’re interested, my blog is at http://snipurl.com/kawxc
Would be honored by views from you or any of your audience!
Pax,

Thanks for sharing your experience on blogging, I didn’t have trouble watching the video. The community questions were all very interesting, so I’ll be waiting for the next Q&A session.

Firefox crashed shortly after I pressed play and the video opened in a new tab.
I vote PDF as well, lol. I just lost some work I was doing. :(

Quite a few questions about obsessions, and people seemingly getting a little overwhelmed with all the various tasks that go with “running a blog”. I think you said it best when you advised one of the first ones to set a schedule.
Regardless of which task you do yourself or which ones you outsource, I think it’s extremely important to set detailed schedule for tasks, and posts on a weekly basis. If you just sit down, and “wing it” each day, you’ll end up spending more time staring at the screen wondering what to do next or watching videos on other people’s blogs instead of working! ;)
Great Q&A (although it start to cut out on me after a few minutes, I’ll be back to check the rest)
Cheers

Hey Darren, I am really interested in watching the video, but for some reason it is not playing or even buffering. Do I have to download something before I can watch?

I can get your “ProBlogger Impromtu Video Session” to load via http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.144.swf?vid=223323 but unfortunately the same trick isn’t working for “ProBlogger Blog Tips 07/09/09 12:08AM” ( http://cdn1.ustream.tv/swf/4/viewer.144.swf?vid=1776614 ) It seems to get stuck when getting data from flash.quantserve.com . Kind of bazaar that one will load that way and not the other. I’m guessing they have some data issues. Oh well, at least I get to watch one of your videos now even if it is older :D

It means quite a bit to a lot of people that Darren takes the time to answer questions like this. Becoming a successful blogger is not easy, and it is good to have someone like Darren who can help guide people through the growing pains.

Thanks for doing these streams. I have participated in 2 of them so far. Really useful.
I am looking to do something similar on the topics of Sustainability and the Environment.
These tips will come in handy indeed.

As a new blogger, I find myself at times being tempted to add a widget or two to my blog that I might find appealing, but it may not be to my readers. Quality content or posts outweighs everything else in your blog. Pre-writing your posts is a great idea for continuously blogging through the years.
