Video of the Jesus Said Amazon Alexa Skill is now on YouTube

19 Feb
2020

 

The Jesus Said Alexa skill video is now up on YouTube and right here on my site via YouTube. I made this skill in 2018 and didn’t think it needed a video because it’s kind of to the point of what the skill is about and used for from just the title. I made videos last year for one of my other Alexa skills and some of my mobile apps, but skipped doing one for this skill. I was wrong on that decision to skip this one. Video is an important marketing tool and basically a great way to showcase software no matter what the subject matter is. So today I finally set up my mini-tripod, one of my Echo Dots(given to me by Amazon) and made a quick video of me simply using this skill. I set out to make the video around 1-3 minutes of me just activating the skill and it giving me a response. After a simple editing in iMovie on iOS and finalizing the video it came out to 2 minutes and 19 seconds, and when I saw that final timestamp, I immediately thought of todays date which is…..02-19! What a coincidence! I thought that was neat, so I made sure to definitely upload it today as well.

This Jesus Said skill features a large assortment of verses from Jesus in the Bible. Features verses from the books of Matthew, John, Luke, Mark, Revelation & more. In certain editions of the Holy Bible these would be also known as the “red text” which is believed to be the words spoken by Jesus Christ. The verses within this skill were pulled from the King James version of the Bible. Jesus Said is available for free on the Amazon Alexa Skill store. Take care! Enjoy!

Several New Videos Added to YouTube & Website

15 Mar
2019

One of the goals in my 2019 Manifesto is to promote my apps more with video. To start this goal I made a list of the apps I wanted to make videos of. I know how significant and beneficial it can be to have video to showcase something so I wanted to do that for some of my apps that I hadn’t made videos for yet. I also decided to make a video for some of my apps that already had one because they’ve improved since release with noticeable updates and I thought those changes needed to be displayed beyond just screenshots. As of now I’ve created & uploaded videos for all the apps that I had on my list. I also made videos for some of my Alexa Skills as well. Below is a list of all the mobile apps and Alexa skills that have new videos uploaded on my YouTube channel along with their respective links.
