Closing post- My Youtube videos
After constructing two completely different videos, I have received a total of 260 views, (114 for the older video 146 for the newer one.) Â If you haven’t seen them yet, feel free to check out my youtube channel where you will find both of them.
I have learned SO much from inserting myself into the youtube community. Â Here’s a little summary of the main points:
- Making a video that the world can see does not guarantee that the world will see it
- Creating content can be difficult and daunting for first time users
- Comments and views often must be solicited in order to garner any response

So I grew really tired really quickly of intervening in Campaign 08 via Youtube. I think that my main issue was that I was limited to what was available. At the same time, that’s kind of what I initially wanted. I assumed it would be easier to collate images and/or videos and make a compelling youtube video that would be loved- or so I thought. I realized too quickly that this method was very difficult in three ways.
Help Me Promote My Youtube Video!!!
So apparently posting a video on youtube for the world to see does not guarantee that the world will see it. As of right now, my masterpiece youtube video has 72 views and NO comments
after being posted Saturday evening. Some of the best advice on promoting youtube videos that I have found so far is:“Don’t discriminate against gay people. If you accept gay people people, you will get more gay people watching your videos and doing the nasty behind their keyboard.” (video below)
Disappearing Comments?
Is anyone else having trouble getting their comments to take? I’m logged in and keep writing comments and then clicking “submit” only nothing happens. The page refreshes and my comment disappears but isn’t posted…I haven’t had this problem before, so…help? please?
Getting images in your comments
I mentioned Gravatar today - Globally Recognized Avatars - as a way to get your image in the comments and be able to tie a face to the name. If you want to get one, just go to Gravatar.com and sign up with the same email you’re using in this blog. The image you upload there will appear in our blog. as simple as that. Enjoy.
