Eric, you have great potential. I have been around long enough to know that most things are like the tide, they are constantly flowing. I humbly, offer you my opinion on the matter. My son did a lot of site building, layouts and general marketing. He taught me a lot. He showed me how he could take a site that if you googled it , you may never find to it, to changing some things and it being in the top 10. The problem you face is a very competitive market. You have everybody trying to be the King. (Not saying you are) There is so much poor information out there. The market is waiting for the right player. Don’t let algorithms decide your future. Tell me, what do you want EricTheCarGuy to become?
FYI: You can end this conversation any time you want, I am just trying to be helpful.Kudos , for stepping up to the plate and being a man. I respect you even more now. FYI, Some of that new technology was really challenging. Mitchell, etcetera was after the fact and dealerships would not give private garages any info. I will look forward to more of your advice. Once again, it is my opinion that you will get a larger audience if you clean up a little. Best of luck. Peter
Thank you for your point, thank you for your polite reply. I did work on the ground, had salt dripping in my eyes and mouth too. Went home with the odd burns on my chest from torching off an exhaust, etcetera. Actually , my forte was trouble shooting, when a mechanic could not find the problem, I got the job. This all happened in the late seventies and early eighties. I did not have the wonderful equipment they have today or the internet. Mind you in some ways certain areas were not as complicated, but on the other hand they were. I had to figure out new technology, electronic ignitions, EGR valves, electronic controls for fuel injectors, etcetera. I was so good at it, that I used do work for one of the dealerships, as much work as some shops did with all their customers. Bottom line, it was a family business, I loved the business, but because of the greed of a family member I bowed out and sought a living in a different field. FYI, one of the reasons we had a business that was in top of it’s field, was of our cleanliness, many a brand new car went form our shop, to the dealers showroom, which I would deliver personally and would eye ball for any smudges before I left. Our shop, and floor were cleaned nightly. WE had no gloves. Bottom Line one more time. I admire you, I was not trying to be judgmental. I was not trying to put you down. FYI. I stand to be corrected, but I do not believe that any automotive electrical shop would support your metal bench and dirty gloves. Personally, I do not understand the gloves working on electrical area you did, plus you did have time to set up for your video. Keep up the good work, I enjoy it, but please change your gloves when making a video. I believe you will get a bigger audience.
