Blog #41 Starting a Business: 1 Year In— 5 Things I Did WRONG
Why do we fall?
So we can pick ourselves up.
Each mistake is a chance to grow and learn something new. Without the mistake, one can’t improve.
A year in to starting the business, it’s fair to say mistakes were made. In this post, we’re going to be taking a critical look at the steps I should’ve taken, and ones I shouldn’t have taken at all. You can take away your own knowledge from this post, to make sure you don’t repeat my errors.
Let’s reflect on those errors and find solutions to the problems.
Blog #40 Starting a Business: 1 Year In— 5 Things I Did RIGHT
From the day this is published, it will be one year exactly since Newtown Productions was born.
Starting a business was a challenge, but one I’m glad I undertook. It has been rewarding in ways I couldn’t have imagined.
In this post, we’re going to focus on the success stories—decisions I made that paid dividends.

So let’s celebrate the 5 things I did right in my first year.
Blog #39 The Art of Scheduling
How to get more likes/shares/followers on social media: consistency.
The truth is in, folks—consistent posting on social media is the key to better engagement.

Let’s look at the data first (found here: https://buffer.com/resources/consistent-posting-study/):
“We arrived at three groups of users ranging from inconsistent posting habits to consistent posting habits:
Inconsistent users posted 4 weeks or less out of the last 26 weeks
Consistent users posted 5-19 weeks out of the last 26 weeks
Highly consistent users posted 20+ weeks out of the last 26 weeks“
Blog #19 Predicting the Future of Filmmaking
As a fun thought experiment, I’d like to predict the future of filmmaking. In the last few years, we’ve seen shifts in filmmaking like never before, with different formats and workflows popping up and taking over. I’m going to attempt to do the impossible (unless you’re a Simpsons writer) and predict how things will continue to change in the future.
Blog #18 Making a TikTok
I’ve been big into making short form vertical content recently. It’s been interesting for me to get to know more about this type of content because I’ve shyed away from it for a long time, thanks to my purist roots. Surprisingly, I’ve enjoyed making this kind of content and looking at video in a completely different way: 9 by 16 aspect ratio.
