Add your shows to Youtube

I watch everything on youtube except for Podcast. I generally watch or listen to all my podcasts on Itunes or another podcasting app

Here is a great example of YouTube working. A few weeks ago one of our YouTube videos went viral. The reason it went viral is due to YouTube's large user base and the fact that people trust it. hundreds of websites embed my video. I do not think this would have gained as much traction if we had only been using blip or had the video exclusively on GFQ

Woo hoo! Way to go!

I've put up 100+ youtube. I am always annoyed by the ferrets that try to monetize by claiming copyright infringement. I create my own music or buy music with releases. One outfit Orchid is all over the place claiming thousands of infringements. I even recorded a rams horn being blown *shofar. Someone tried to claim that. :confused:

Youtube wants to pump revenue is why I think they let these ferrets pull these stunts. I challenge all of them, and remove any content that is claimed. I remove content because I don't have time to fight with them, and they don't have to do anything. They make a claim and it takes alot of research and information to defeat those claims.

I'm really beginning to think audio podcasting may be the best route. People will listen longer and the production time is much less than videos. Yes, I know they say video is the future. I am not sure I buy that any longer. People have to stop what they are doing, watch and listen. Audio podcasting they can work, walk, treadmill, workout, eat, travel, drive and do a thousand other things while listening to audio.

Also, you can make an absolutely terrific content video and the average viewer only stays with it for about 2 minutes. Movie trailers are a perfect example 2 minutes 30 seconds is about the maximum length. The movie dudes know they can't keep viewers much over 2 minutes.

I've been working toward live video streaming, which I understand is somewhat better. I am now realizing you really have to have some super worthy content for success live streaming. I've bought most of the hardware including setting up with extra fast cable internet. I haven't activated the higher speed internet and I may forget about it.

I'm definitely not in a quandry. If things don't work as they should you can't let your expectations rule your common senses.

Confuse me if you will, or leave me be. I'm thinking audio podcasting is the way to go to build a brand, followed up with live audio streaming. Again, people can multi-task and listen, but viewing requires undivided attention of the viewers.

Maybe, I will just shoot videos of audio podcasting and live audio streaming and share them as I can. Yet, they will just be ancillary overflow or not that important to what I'm trying to do.

This is my thinking at this time. I would be interested to read what some other members might think on this, for sure.

YouTube is a great way to get discovered. We just passed the 100k viewer mark last night. Lots of my clients found me on YouTube. Many people (younger and older) use YouTube as a search engine. Make sure you take time to add the tags as Andrew says. Sometimes I'll use 20 tags for one show.

Also encourage views to "subscribe" to your channel. That way they will be notified (if they select that) that you have new videos posted.

My YouTube channel is ThatVidBlasterGuy.

I put my audio shows on YT and when I switched to video I started posting those as well. It's all a preference but its worth using YouTube for their Google juice.

If you use Google Hangout with YouTube to broadcast Live the feed from your show when you are recording, as we do. It will automatically upload your "show" to your channel. My show is unedited and we broadcast live with not really any post production so it works well for us.
