It’s not just a question of fun. Anyone can have fun. The thing is, making videos can be fun, if you will allow it to be fun.
Actually, I made a conscious decision to have fun when making videos, and this helps me maintain a good attitude toward the effort.
Making and posting youtube videos is rewarding enough as just plain fun, but it’s also a way of achieving something that modern day folks are very much in need of.
I know. Ending a sentence with “of” is almost as bad as ending a sentence in “for”.
That thing that people lack today is a sense of accomplishment, purpose, meaning. It’s always lacking in advanced civilizations, and even in civilizations like this one.
The absolute remedy for depression and misery is to have fun.
There is no bigger thrill than to actually have an effect and see the result with your own eyes. That’s what happens when you see your stats chart go through the roof on youtube.
When I actually SEE the effects that my actions on youtube are having, it’s as much a thrill for me as it would be for any five year old kid who just won bigly at the local game arcade.
It’s about having an effect.
When you KNOW you had an effect, it’s different. Thinking you MIGHT have had a slight effect isn’t the same as seeing a powerful effect that you brought about with your own higher will and your own very deliberate conscious action.
When you do certain things in the title and thumbnail, certain things happen. This is okay for beginners, but wait until you see 47 MILLION views on one of your #shorts!
I don’t care how jaded you may have become in your journey across the years, but nobody can just sit there and see their video explode to millions of views without feeling SOMETHING, for God’s sake.
I myself am not trying to achieve 47 million views — just a few hundred makes me happy. I’m trying to get my stats up just a little. I have been coasting along for years on an average of 150 views a day, but that’s gone up radically since I started tampering with my headlines and my graphic thumbnail.
Think about it. That’s all they see is the thumbnail and the title. They decide based on that, or they’re sliding by with their thumb, scrolling up or down or sideways, and they suddenly blunder into your video, which starts playing the moment they land on it. That view didn’t result from a search, unless you call a restless thumb a search engine.
I’ll be going into the various things that happen as you use language to get a reaction — the image only supports the title, it doesn’t replace it.
So sign up for my next workshop if you want to definitely experience what it’s like to do something and actually SEE and VERIFY that you had an effect, hopefully one that is generally uplifting and which reduces the general suffering of all life-forms everywhere, at least just a little, and with a viral video on youtube, maybe a great deal of effect all over the world and beyond.
Don’t miss this event.
See You At The Top!!!
