to other material, such as videos, to make it easier to find online. Each wants different elements included, such as hashtags, keywords, and more. To expand my material onto various platforms, my original work required multiple revisions. It still seems unacceptable, and this is well

Learning new skills on various forms of media, including video creation, is proving to be far more time-consuming than I first thought. Hope you find this video entertaining! New content is now being released monthly, starting NOW! #ByJasonDEssex youtu.be/TQptx3NDWkU
