Arthur Marshall Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 6 hours ago, Laurie Booth said: I get work Get paid Do work Yes, but how do you get work? You do a bit of publicity, just like wot the OP has done, and hope you catch some interest. Entertainment isn't like plumbing, however. As a musician, I might cold call a hundred pubs to see if anyone wants my kind of band. If they do, off I go. I'll get paid for the job even if the pub's empty. But no audience, no second gig, which is what you want, because then it's an income stream instead of a one off. So as an entertainer it's important to get your audience lined up first, before you produce your content. No audience, no second gig, however good your content. So that's what, I think, the OP is doing. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that is a major mistake. It may not look like it from my previous posts but I would like if you could succeed however I do still have a general issue with the notion of requesting subscribers to channels which have yet to produce content. Once content is available then, and only then, would I consider subscribing. 3 hours ago, Floating Round Britain said: Edited July 30, 2020 by reg Tablet went berserk.

Mike Todd Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 17 hours ago, The Happy Nomad said: I subscribe to Foxes Afloat and cruising the cut. Both interesting but very different in style. In fact they are poles apart in style but still an enjoyable watch. Found them during lockdown and they helped pass some of the time stuck with no where to go. Some of the stuff the Foxes do has an interesting historical aspect too. As I understand it, both are produced by people with a relevant professional skill.

PhilR Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 (edited) I have subscribed. If it is not of interest to me I won't watch - it doesn't cost anything either way! Good luck to the lads. There have been several television series about the canals where the team seemed to deem it necessary to set up collisions and then have a hearty laugh about it. I assume that isn't their intention.

Tracy D'arth Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 If the new poster is so thin skinned, he won't get far creating a successful business. Today takes guts to build a business, not the ability to hold a begging bowl as C&RT are finding out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Percy Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 The chaps could have at least whetted appetites with teasers of forthcoming episodes. A cruise has already been covered by All Aboard! (although I'm not saying 'if you've seen one...'), so maybe they're still working out different ideas for episodes. Maybe some slow TV ideas could be pitched here, like 'filling a water tank', 'fishing out my keys'...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea, emptying the cassettes, wading ashore to fill the pound, cleaning dog poo off the carpets, many more wonderful pieces of canal life.

The guy says he’s lived on the canals the last 4 year in a small Dawncraft, after 4 years he’s progressed to a 30ft Narrowboat(rather old and in need, looking at his Avatar) does not fill me with confidence that it’s going to be any good or he’s to be taken seriously.

More than I had managed at that age, at 72 I can still remember back then, obviously you are all a lot older than me or have shorter memories and can't remember your youth when you thought anything was possible and later found out most of it wasnt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the beauty of youth the time when you could try things out and have room to fail, as long as no one was hurt you ended up a bit wiser and just got up again and tried something else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PD1964 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 Still waiting for something on their Youtube Channel, once again as I thought a waste of time, but they got some gullible subscribers off here I imagine.
