HELP NEEDED!
Hi
As you probably know one of the regular videos I have been posting each month is a review of the official P&L figures published by the Russian Ministry of Finance. However this month I have not been able to access the figures. I am not sure if this is because they are no longer available or if the website has been blocked.
These figures are really interesting and important and I thought it was worth reaching out to see if anyone else can access them and then send me a screenshot.
The webpage is
minfin.ru/en/document
The document is likely to have been published around 14th/15th/16th June and will be entitled Quarterly or Monthly Budget figures The numbers that I need are the latest figures for June 2024 showing Oli & Gas Revenue, Non-Oil & Gas Revenue, Total Revenue, and Expenditure.
if you can help out that would be great and if we get there I will make sure that I give you a shout out at the start of the video!
Cheers
Joe
Hi
Warning - STICKMAN is coming!!
You may recall that a month or so ago I mentioned that I was considering using the new channel that I set up at the time of my highly stressful hacking episode to develop some animation.
Well, in the interim period I have been working on that idea and the first video is now ready to go. As this video is a blend of the informative elements of my usual videos along with some fun animation I have decided to post it onto the main channel to gauge what the reaction is to this sort of format (don't worry this is in addition to my usual style).
I wanted to give you the Heads Up on this as when I have posted experimental videos previously they are generally met with a mixture of apathy (nobody watches them), ridicule (is this a joke? I thought this was a serious geopolitical channel - unsubscribed!) and anger (lots of people posting comments saying just stick to the Russian videos!).
Anyway I hope you like it and remember it is mean to be a bit of fun with a sprinkle of information / explanation on top!
Thanks
Joe
Joe Blogs 2.0 - Time for Another Experiment??
Hi
First and foremost I want to say THANKS to everyone who subscribed to the Joe Blogs 2.0 channel in my hour of need and also to everyone who watched the videos in order to get the watch time up to the 3,000 hours needed by YouTube. The channel currently has over 25000 subscribers and I think it would be criminal to let it go to waste. As as result I am thinking of undertaking an experiment!
One of the most popular forms of video on YouTube is ANIMATION as it is easy and fun to watch. In my business life I have been involved with an animation business for the past 5 years and I think it is a really interesting area with lots of future potential, particularly on YouTube.
A couple of years ago I tried an experiment with a second channel (notionally called Joe Blogs 2) where I encouraged creators to send me videos that could be posted onto the channel. The idea was that JB2 would be a showcase channel for new and emerging talent however the concept never really got off the ground as firstly there was not much take up of the idea (I only received a small amount of interest) and secondly the content was too random and so the channel did not a clear theme to encourage viewers to subscribe.
I would now like to try a new experiment with Joe Blogs 2.0. The idea is to create a channel dedicated to amusing animation which will come from two sources:
The first is content created specifically for the channel. This will involve finding creative & talented people with ideas for videos or series of videos, script writers, animators & editors who will create unique Intellectual Property for the channel. If this is something that you are interested in and you would like to be with involved then please let me know by dropping a comment back.
The second is animated content that creators already own that they are happy to list on the channel. If you are a creator that owns the IP and are interested in this concept then please contact me. The idea is that the channel will quickly build momentum and subscribers and that the videos will gain traction and views. Any income earned from such videos will be split equally between the channel and the owner of the IP.
At this stage this is still just an idea but I wanted to run it past you to see what you think. I am thinking of documenting the journey of the channel with videos that share the step by step process of trying to build a YouTube Channel from scratch so it will basically be a video diary of how it goes.
Obviously it's a tough challenge and the odds are stacked against us but all channels have to start somewhere and if you don't try you will never know if it could have worked!
Please let me know what you think - although please keep the abuse to a minimum!
Cheers
Joe
Hi Everyone!
After 5 days of torture I have managed to regain control of the Channel. There are still a few things that need to be rectified but hopefully this will all be done within a short space of time.
In the meantime I am uploading all of the old videos that were taken down by the hack. I think the 100000 Silver Button video was only ever released to Members so that is why it is now showing as a 'new' video despite being over 2 years old!
I will post a video giving you the full details of the hacking episode and how I have dealt with the aftermath as I think it's important to get the message out as I know there are other creators going through the same thing right now.
I also have 4 new videos that are ready to go so please watch this space and get ready for the relaunch.
Finally the STILTMAN Raffle is still live but ends on Friday so if you want a chance of winning this fantastic sculpture buy a ticket before it's too late!

Hi
I am currently undertaking a review of the content for the channel and it would be very helpful if you can let me know what topics you are interested in watching for my videos (please be honest!):
Christmas Questions?

UPLOAD FREQUENCY
Hi
The end of the calendar year is always a good time to take stock of where we are and what the plans are going to be for next year. On that theme I wanted to ask for your feedback on how often you would like to see one of my videos next year.
In 2022 I posted a video every single day and over the past 12 months I have posted a video every other day however the number of views is starting to fall so I think it might be time for a revamp both in terms of quantity and also the content. Currently my videos pick up the vast majority of their views within the first 24 hours however I have produced some videos (usually less current affairs) that had a much longer shelf life. The option I am considering at the moment is to produce fewer videos of a higher quality that will be appealing for more than a couple of days. I also think that releasing too many might be diluting the attractiveness of my videos and that new videos may be cannibalising potential views for older videos.
With this in mind can you please let me know what you think is the optimum frequency - ie how many videos would you actually like to watch.
Thanks
Joe
FINANCIAL ROAST
Hi
Just wanted to let you know that I am currently working on a new concept for the channel in which I team up with other YouTube Creators to talk (and also have a few laughs) about some of the current events happening in the world of finance.
I have just completed filming the first one with a very special guest who has a channel that I love (details to be announced soon!) and I will publish the video this weekend.
In the meantime I thought it would be worth asking for suggestions for future guests that you would like to see me chatting to on the channel - so please post your suggestions below.
Thanks
Joe
