I’ve run down the absolute Best Times to post #shorts on #youtube, and here they are:
Here’s today’s pickin’s:

The question has popped up several times in the past two days on my youtube channels, “Is this a joke?”, to which I replied yes, it is a joke, and it’s also a challenge.
My standup fans will appreciate how bizarre the situation is, when you can monetize #shorts, monetize your own music whether you use it or someone else does — songs are tracked by their electronic fingerprints and users are charged accordingly — and use other people’s music to create things for which you don’t get paid, but which bring your subscribers in by the thousands.
You’ll need to more or less instantly develop the complete and unshakable confidence that people LOVE what you’re doing and really appreciate deeply what you’re offering in the way of entertaining channel-building videos on youtube.
I’ve just spent the entire night creating 15 second #shorts videos for youtube, and I’m hoping you’ll be able to use them for your work.
What I have in mind is that you see something you like — in the way of #shorts — somewhere on my channels, and you order a related video, one which somewhat resembles the other, but is different enough to qualify for youtube publication.
You should select things that really go with the central theme of your channel and, yes, your channel should have a definite theme. Continue reading
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. Continue reading
I’ve been posting a bunch of videos on my ejgoldguru channel on youtube. go take a look and see how it’s done. I’ve steadily built my channel and it’s growing fast!
You might already know that I’m testing out my incredible and fascinating Animated Greenscreens that I use for my youtube videos.
Using youtube was, for me, the easiest route to achieving a viewable result, and it would be for me the simplest to actualize in a continuing way, meaning workshops and talks.
What I wanted was a way to create excitement in the viewer, animating the viewer into following the hotlink to some downloading type website, where we could monitor the traffic and try to anticipate its source. Continue reading
Here’s a bunch of stuff you need to know if you’re going to use youtube as a work path. If you’d rather just laugh a lot, look through some previous postings.
I’ve put up a whole bingy-bongy bunch of videos, more than I had planned, but I think you’ll find it was worth the trouble, and worth the watching.
Enjoy.
Well, here it is, time to go hunting for some terrific videos that don’t collapse in the middle and stay interesting right to the end. Try it sometime. The hunting, I mean. It’s not as easy as you’d think, without getting repetitious and dependent on several reliable channels to provide easy targets. It ain’t that easy. There’s the audience to consider, and the timing of the humor relative to public sentiment and pressures. In short, it ain’t easy.
The idea is, you like the experience and decide to share my blog link with a number of people who are listed as “friends” or “followers” or “disciples” or whatever passes for a group in active association.
In short, you better have your facebook together. Continue reading
