2022 is whizzing by.
Daylight Savings has started. Spring is around the corner. The sun is shining longer. The air is getting warmer.
For this year 2022, I want to continue to my video challenge! 
What challenge you may be thinking? 
It all started on Sep 8th, 2021 when I started the 90 Day Challenge on my channel. My goal with doing that was to promote awareness for Google Maps/ Local Guides through a fun challenge of consistent uploads… where I would upload a video a day of a different place in Arizona- parks, malls, museums, etc.
The added benefits were that it would push me to stop moping on the sofa in my free time, and while visiting the places to film, I could also capture photos and type a review out- helping to build out the information on Google Maps.
As I was uploading, I organized my channel’s layout with the main headers being the main category and then had playlists or videos under each category. By doing so, I was able to start building a visual library of places.
After that, on December 17th 2021, I decided to continue uploading a video a day, but to focus on playgrounds… a-la my Playground a Day Challenge. As a child at heart, I have always loved playgrounds, and now they have evolved so much from the simple wooden slides of the past. I always have a blast trying out the new taller slides and other whimsical features.
Since then, I have amassed over 25,000 impressions of my videos since starting my channel in 2021. Out of that, I have had almost 3,000 views of 40 plus hours of watch time. This aligned with my goal of spreading awareness of Google Maps and the Local Guides Program.
Now… I want to continue the video challenge. I’ve been consistently doing one upload a day of a place in Arizona and I want to keep doing that until I have at least a year’s worth of an upload a day. Doing so would be a feat that can further bring more attention to Google Maps/ Local Guides, and perhaps draw more interest and participants in the program. I hope that by sharing my passion for exploring and guiding that it can inspire others to do so too.
In this continued challenge, I will build on the visual library of local hiking trails, and I also want to start adding more driving videos of our different highways and cities. Yesterday (March 19, 2022), I announced the launch through video below:
Excited to see what it brings and excited to keep exploring as I film!

. The videos seem much more difficult to me than the photos. I find it hard to determine what is helpful to see in action versus having a clear still image.
