FROM THE EDITOR
Welcome all you beautiful subscribers to another edition of the irl Media NEWS Newsletter. I couldn’t be more happy to have you here.
This week we finished the roll out of our new irl Media TECH and irl Media SPORTS YouTube channels. If you’ve been following along, or even if you haven’t, we’ve been on a mission for the last year to try to teach the YouTube algorithm what our irl Media NEWS channel is all about, but alas they don’t seem to get us. So in an effort to make it easier for the YouTube algorithm to understand the real us we’ve split our channel up into Entertainment, Tech, Sports, Real Estate, and Business.
In other news, we’re in the early stages of creating a new YouTube channel. I’ve partnered with one of my oldest friends, who lives in Japan, on this new channel. It’s still early days, but we’ve been working on the branding and shooting some test footage. I’m guessing we’ll roll out this new channel in early December, so stay tuned.
I hope you enjoy today’s newsletter!
