Hey there my fine readers, it’s once again time to share some of the behind the scenes coolness that is happening over on one of the networks that is connected to the Piercing Ken framework. So I’ve already pointed out how I like to shine the spotlight on special events and milestones when it comes to brand when I recently achieved something for the PiercingMetal website and since “The Chronicles” is of equal importance to me as a content creator I was pretty stoked to notice this. It’s no secret that I have been posting quite a few clips onto our YouTube Channels of late and when I finished uploading my most recent video, I saw the counter turn to “500”. Now I mentioned over on PM that I have been using the free version of the VidIQ service and when you hit a particular milestone they send you a nifty graphic that you can share along on your social media platforms. Since Piercing Ken isn’t signed up for that service I won’t get an alert or the graphic. So what I did for the purpose of this announcement was to edit what I needed from the PiercingMetal Channel news and use it here down below. I am fairly stoked to talk to you about uploading 500 videos on “The Chronicles” of Piercing Ken’s Official YouTube Channel.

“The Chronicles” Celebrates 3rd Anniversary of Branded YouTube Channel

Hello my friends and welcome to what I believe to be another awesome milestone for “The Chronicles” brand. I wanted to take a quick moment out of your day to let you know that today marks the Third Anniversary of the Official Branded YouTube Channel for “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” website. I’ve often mentioned that despite the website itself being around for a few years, we never approached a YouTube Channel for it until only a few short years ago. This year, the Piercing Ken website achieved its own 13th Year which you can learn about by clicking HERE if you’ve some interest in the background but let’s stay on topic with the Channel Anniversary. At that point in 2020, the pandemic was in full-sway when I realized how I should finally launch a Piercing Ken Channel and after some reworking of older ideas along with some new ones we were on our way. Waiting that long wasn’t really the best course of action but truth be told, “The Chronicles” wasn’t a professional voice until late in 2016 when I began attending the events held by The Toy Insider. Before continuing along, let’s raise it up for the video clip with the most views on the Channel. It was fashion related and came from the Style X event that I attended a few times.
