anti gW rantings ?
I think someone named discourse  (sp?) on the youtubes already covered that …

Spiffing Brit did a couple of videos/experiments on youtube views :

And like companies that exploit the google search engine to get more views … that’s something that has been done and will be done again and again. Some folk get lucky, but the rest end up at the bottom of the pyramid scheme to ultimate popularity (while us as consumers have to deal with search results that get less effective every time).

There’s bound to be loads of tricks to learn from advertising in general that will apply to social media.

Possibly related : at which point do you as a content creator consider it to be ‘enough’ ?
Is getting to the top X of most popular content creators your goal ?
Or are you happy with a more realistic target ?

 

My own youtube subscription list feels like the Bruce Springsteen song :  “56 channels and nothing on …”
Because at the end of the day there are only so many hours I can spend consuming content. No amount of marketing is going to change that. Some get lucky and manage to create consistently interesting content on a weekly basis, but the vast majority tend to have just a few videos that are interesting.

I’m sure marketing experts have words and statistics for that sort of thing, because that’s what they’ve been doing since the days of printed media. And it’s not like any of that has changed except perhaps the quantity.
