My VERY FIRST video on YouTube 8 years ago when Jeremiah (my youngest was 12)
I started out shooting in my kitchen in Oklahoma in 2010. They were bad, didn’t get much traffic but I started and many of those are still getting watched and indexed by Google and they are driving traffic to my Websites based on my keywords.
I recently interviewed the Make-A-Wish Foundation Founder Frank Shankwitz in San Diego and personally thanked him as my family has been the recipient of his amazing organization during the time of my sons healing from Leukemia.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation story gives new writers and veteran authors a great model to craft their story and bring their brand and platform to the world. In the last 30 years, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has granted nearly 300,000 wishes for children battling life-threatening illnesses.
The Book about the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Frank Shankwitz are about to become a full length major motion picture.
