Yes, it’s true — you can accomplish the same work in the field of social media that you might do in seated meditation or “work on self” as it’s known in the West these days. The form is changeable and fluid, if you know the Teaching. If not, it all looks different and can be wildly confusing and seemingly paradoxical.
So I guess at first you’ll have to take my word for it — there’s WORK in them thar hills! Money, too, if you apply these skills to a business model such as an SEO agency.
Your first effort will be to create a video — any video — that expresses where you are and HOW YOU FEEL right now. This could take the form of a personal selfie style video where you’re walking or sitting in a garden by a fountain.
This is very relaxing, but it won’t get you very far without a gimmick of some sort — what gimmick? You’ll figure it out.
Your main problem is going to be not the video, but the promotion thereof — therein lies the rub, meaning that’s where the obstacles lie.
You’ll need to research to find out what similar videos use to get to the top of their search term lists, and dress up your video with the meta data surrounding it — you have to advertise to get viewers to your video, and the advertising consists of FREE publicity, if you know how to manipulate the media, and I plan to show you how.
You need to understand what does what — there’s a precise declination of power that drives the search engine spiders, and that’s not terribly hard to predict, even for a salt-water computer like a human brain.
You’ll need to figure out which search terms are vital, which are operating and which can be dispensed with, and that takes nothing but knowledge, knowing what you’re looking for, and some degree of mental agility.
So what’s the deal?
Well, as I said, the first obstacle to overcome is to get your ass off the friggin’ couch and saunter on over to the nearest online access, whether it’s a phone, laptop or desktop, ipod, ipad or however you manage to get onto youtube, except a “Play Only” device, that won’t help much. Make and post a video with search terms and tags and hashtags, and then keep reading.
By the way, one Law of Attraction Factor you’ll be working with in your meta data is the profit motive — not greed, just necessity driving the student forward — because your students will be able to fill their pocketbooks with cash when they master the art of the particle, meaning they learn how to introduce and sell the Godd™ Particle.
Actually, if you did nothing else this lifetime but get Godd™ Particles on a bunch of people who need one, you’d be spending your lifetime well, indeed.
Hamilton.
What I mean by “Hamilton” is, back when the Broadway Play “Hamilton” was popular, you couldn’t find another musical that had an award that year — Hamilton took them all.
It’s exactly the same with search terms. Some search terms just won’t die, and some won’t let you in — they’re an exclusive club, protected by the huge amounts of cash thrown in by the record companies to keep those search terms their own.
Which kind of terms?
Oh, like #hamilton or #broadwaymusical or #carpoolkaraoke — those are pretty well guarded by the big guys, but there are ways through the armor. Until I can get those ideas into your hands, you’ll have to trust me, for no particular reason other than you don’t yet have the data to make judgments.
Note please, the word “judgment” has no “e”. When an “e” is inserted, as in “judgement”, it refers to The Judgement and to a tarot card and nothing else.
I’ll bet dollars to donuts that Trump does NOT know that simple fact of early grammar — just a passing thought, and speaking of passing, why doesn’t he? Best to stand upwind of him when he is full of whimsy — must be the Jewish horseradish on the beefy burger from lunch.
Lunch?
Oh, well, who am I to suggest a proper diet to such an important person. You’ll note that I stay strictly away from straight political satire, with the exception of the Trump Protest Songs, written merely to show how to write such songs, not personal at all.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t LIKE Trump, and it has nothing to do with his anti-Semitism or his openly racist affiliations, or his close buddies over at the NRA, nor is it about his toupee or orange spray tan.
It’s about his face. He’s goddam ugly, or haven’t you noticed? And his hands look like those of a little baby, probably indicating a very tiny penis, which would show quite clearly in the Russian Pee-Pee Tapes which are about to be released, I have it on good angelic authority.
Is Trump really the Saviour? Is the Second Coming in the person of a rough beast whose hour has come around at last? It isn’t lost on me that Trump’s building is numbered “666”, the Number of the Beast of Revelations.
You’re looking for the Rapture? You won’t have long to wait. I collect my dollar bet. Too bad everyone on Earth has to die in order for me to collect it, but them’s the break.
So in the meantime, why not do some good, spread some seeds of higher consciousness and mastery of the endless chain of death and rebirth.
Some say it’s worth the effort to shake off the bindings of sleep. It’s entirely up to you, but here’s The Method, for what it’s worth:
Copy and paste the HEADLINES below, and take note of where my video has been ranked, and notice that it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NUMBER OF VIEWS.
People Won’t Scroll.
Nobody scrolls down. Nobody. If your video is below the sixth visible on the screen, it will never be seen, never get a click.
So how???
You have to land your video at the top of SOME list, and that list had better be a result of a VERY generic search term, but … wait a moment, maybe you don’t know what a search term actually is, of what it might consist.
A search term is a single word, two words, maybe three, that land you in the middle of a field of related videos, but they may not SEEM related from what you see onscreen.
For instance, you’re searching the word “hamilton”, and you’ll get a screenful of things that relate to “Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia”, Anthony Hamilton and finally, about twenty videos down, you might see an “Alexander Hamilton” or a video about the music or the play.
The Search Term has to be sent out in the exact sequence to achieve first place in a list, and that’s not always easy to see and operate — it takes intuition, something of which you will be needing a LOT in the days to come!
There are a million high-ticket videos ahead of you, all crowding the page all the way down, and your video finishes out at the bottom of the page.
Achieve Godlike Power!
So how do you get your video seen in a crowd like that?
Well, you don’t. It’s too fuzzy and too dominated. You find something a little less generic and a little less rich, meaning it’s driven by lots of record company money spent on “adsense” and other google ripoffs.
Google and the other social media services hold your list of followers or friends hostage — you have to pay them money to reach your own people, and that’s the core of their business model, sort of like a co-op gallery, it’s all about no sales and it’s supported by artists who think they’re getting good exposure just by being in a shop window.
You’d be better off selling your art through youtube, by getting your customers to your art sales website where you have installed a shopping cart, if you’re smart.
If you’re not very smart, you’ll have to settle for a listing on etsy or ebay, and pay the piper for the privilege. You may end up breaking even, if you’re lucky, after the seller’s fee and the shipping, but you’ll be rid of one more painting, if that’s your goal.
Okay, so what IS the goal?
You want to rank your video at the top of SOME list, as wide and inclusive a list as possible, so you want to achieve a BLEND of generic with specific, and that’s more of an art than a science, so hold onto your hat while we explore some ways to accomplish this, and keep in mind that you will be able to apply this to your income as well as to your spiritual work.
Let’s get on with it. Here are some search terms. Copy and paste each one into a youtube search field and see what comes up, then analyze it to try to understand how it’s getting into that exalted field of stars — you might not come up with an answer for a while.
If I were interested in operating a social media agency, I’d be engineering a video for a client and getting it ranked at the top of a very hard to reach page, like “Hamilton”, but related to their business.
It’s so EASY when you get it, but until you do, it isn’t.
You will notice that the search terms are very fluid, and that some search terms can be very generic and still allow you to place your video at the top of the list, meaning it’s RANKED.
RANKING means that your video is not lower than sixth place, unless the search term is VERY generic, in which case, you’re lucky to be at the 24th place at the bottom of the page, not on the top of the second page, which doesn’t get looked at, period.
Shit floats. Can you make your shit float like Ivory soap?
Do you know what’s long, brown, tapered on both ends, smells real bad, and floats in the water? You’re right — Manhattan. But did you know why New Yorkers are always depressed? Because they know that the light at the end of the tunnel is New Jersey.
Okay, back to serious stuff. Shit floats, that’s the thing to remember. Do what you have to do in order to make your shit — the video — float to the top of the search results list.
So how is the balance achieved? Practice, practice, practice.

That last one is down a bit on the page, but wow, what a score, celestial angels is a powerhouse search!
Keep in mind that the more generic, the wider the meaning, the more chance you have of being seen by the millions of passing viewers, but you’re only as good as your placement on the page, so you need to be in the top 6 if you hope for great results, although in this last case, I’m glad to get any part of it.
Okay, late again…
See You At The Top!!!
