Hello, I hope you are well. I saw your KZbin channel. Your channel has 500 subscribers and 477 videos. Your channel and video content is very good. Also the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1. SEO score is very low 2. No title - description - tags are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your KZbin channel is a lot of trouble. As a result views, likes and subscribers are not increasing. Benefits of 100% SEO Score: 1/ Views will increase 2/ Likes will increase 3/ Customers will increase 4/ Viewing time will increase 5/ Business will increase 6/ Audience will increase. 7/ Sales will increase. So, if you want your channel to increase subscribers, views, likes and comments with proper video SEO, Google ads and monetization. It will be your right decision. Do you want to increase your SEO score? I am waiting for your response. Thank you.

You always read such fun books! I can’t wait for your end-of-the-year favorites so I can make a list lol. I’ve only read one t Fisher book so far and I keep telling myself I need to pick up another one because I really liked their writing a lot. I’ve never read anything by Grady Hendrix either, but he’s another one that I keep thinking that I should try one of his books. My best friends exorcist sounds really good. There were so many beautiful covers in this video too!

I don't know how anyone could like this book?! It's a huge book, like 1600 pages and for at least 800, it isn't "a slow burn", it's a no burn, where literally for at least 800 pages, NOTHING and I mean nothing happens! When something finally does, it's just a stupid prank with clothes on a clothesline. There is no ending that could justify this waste of time book! "Needful Things" is short story material, forced unneedfully (see what I did there?) into being a long, long, long-winded novel. King does have great books, but Needful Things is one of King's worst!!! Read whatever you all want, but... you've been warned.
@krisreviews 21 күн бұрын
@MarkLewis... King is definitely known for his long winded novels 😅 I just loved spending time in Castle Rock... if I hadn't read every single previous book, I may have felt differently 🤗
@MarkLewis... 21 күн бұрын
@@krisreviews Well... "The Shining" is also 1600+ pages and no one thinks it's "long winded", but excitingly descriptive in its horror and constant, variable speed in motion. It's a page turner... while "Needful Things" is actionless set up, with no real purpose other than to be verbose and probably to get paid more. "Needful Things" could have been a great short story or even a novella. King was such a better writer in the 70s and 80s. "Tommyknockers" was ok and had its moments, but the decline was happening already, and many well-read people share this opinion of King, as do I. And the "ending to Castle Rock" is such a letdown. Good for him being so successful, but it's from marketing and reader laziness, more than substance IMO. Nice talking with you.
