I’m blasting off into outer space with my ejgoldguru youtube channel, and I have a possibly useful strategy, if you make as many short films in one work session as I do — I make typically anywhere from a half-dozen to a dozen videos, but we are cautioned by the experts not to spam these up there, so I have, as I mentioned, a possible solution.
Wait until the last-uploaded video has gotten stuck — meaning no activity in at least twenty minutes, maybe wait an hour if you are unsure — until you upload the next one.
So only upload when there’s no other action on your channel, and watch carefully to see that the videos are catching on. If not, you can blame your title — that’s what’s usually the cause of little or no views.
Here’s the logic:
If you put up our album songs, you get a small audience, and we get a few pennies benefit. However, if you put a hit song in your video and make the video fun to watch, you’ll do more good, for a couple of reasons.
For one thing, the money for clicks is not great — you might get $1,000.00 for 1 million clicks, but I doubt it. If you have time to waste, go ahead and try.
I treat my videos like business cards — it’s just an introduction and a way to get hold of me. You want to leave a hot link in the description, leading back to your website, if you are able to establish your identity well enough to satisfy them — it’s not that hard. You send your phone number and they call you and you enter the numbers they say, and there you are.
Of course, you’re always where you are. Be here now? Ridiculous. Try being elsewhere.
The second reason is that I build Blessings into each video. I can also include a “Blessings to you” message in the description of my videos, but I don’t want to spook the viewers with something they’ll interpret as suspiciously religious.
You can help me distribute Blessings by sharing the videos I put up. Even that small contribution counts, and helps the overall effort.
So the game you’re playing is, indeed, “I made you look”, and it’s damned difficult to actually make that happen.
When it does, you have officially created an effect. You are technically a cause. What that should do is pump up your self-esteem just a notch or two.
When you see your view numbers exploding through the roof into the millions of hits, you can’t help but feel just a smidge more confident than before, and that’s the whole point of this exercise, is to share Blessings and at the same time restore your confidence as a being.
Okay, let’s see some funny stuff here. Enough “help us expand our circle” chit-chat. Get in touch with me, if you have trouble understanding or carrying out the “I Made You Look” exercise.
Please do me the courtesy of checking out my postings on ejgoldguru — you might also enjoy my “gorebagg” channel and my “gorebagdotcom” channel, established back when I spelled gorebagg as “gorebag”. The double gg at the end was to differentiate that char from another in a different game — Quake, as opposed to Diablo II, see?
Well, the basic magical law behind this exercise is “as above, so below, and as below, so above”. What we do is, we “hitch our wagon to a star”.
The star is the popular music soundbed beneath our original and unique video. It literally carries us upward, far higher than any of our own music could possibly do. The reason you can “borrow” their music is that they get paid for it, not you.
Youtube is monitored for the “fingerprints” of the music that’s played there, and money is sent to the copyright holders, so you wouldn’t be able to monetize it, because the money goes to the owner of the song.
If not for that, there’d be no overlay and lipsynch and all the dozens of treatments that people give other peoples’ videos. You can now take clips out of them and use them for your own videos, and there’s more — you can find out about these things just by watching a few hundred shorts.
This sharing of the music brings Blessings and joy to millions, rather than dozens — I like the numbers. Make your videos funny while they carry the Blessings forward, and your viewers get a double bonus when they click.
Click-Bait is what you are, and Click-Bait is what you’re going to make, but it should be considerate and compassionate. Use your media skills to rocket your video to the stars!
Enough, on to breakfast and beyond.
See You At The Top!!!
