t-storm in the hizz-ouse.
I’m quickly learning that in order to get more views on your YouTube channel, you have to be a frequent uploader. This means at LEAST weekly videos to keep people interested… especially if you’re crazy weird like I am, you have to keep convincing people you’re stuff is worth watching. Either that, or keep them guessing… “Is this chick for real?!” Yaddah, yaddah.
My most recent videos have been quite different that my first ones… as far as time spent filming and editing. In the beginning, I was spending upwards of 8 hours on just ONE video that MIGHT end up being 3 minutes long. (And that’s pushing it.) So after much YouTube surfing… I’ve decided that some of the videos that get the most views are the ones that don’t have many cool effects inbetween clips. People like to watch both ends of the extreme… that is: Really fancy, flawless editing…. professional looking, you know. OR they like minute long clips people take from their cell phones, and upload without editing a single thing.
Because I’m trying to become a superstar… my approach has started to become the latter end of the extreme. While I DO still do some editing… I only spend like an hour or two on each video.
One of the more recent vloggers I’ve found calls herself “JennaMarlbles”… and her style is basically what I’ve been doing. (Note: I totally was making MY videos before I heard of this chick, so if you threaten me with copyright infringement, I might just punch you in your esophagus.)
While her sit-in-front-of-the-camera-and-talk style is basically what I do… I do NOT appreciate the topics she chooses to elaborate on, or the foul language she uses to portray her ideas. If YouTube wants some vulgar, inappropriate videos… I’ll find another gig.
