Who Likes #short #shorts???

The answer is, of course, “We like short-shorts”, to complete the song lyric from the doo-wop days when Dick Clark was King, but much stuff has flowed under the thing since then.

I’ve spent the past few days and nights trying to load around 100 #shorts onto youtube in a number of different channels, notably ejgoldguru, gorebagg, gorby’s shorts — and I’m planning to put a bunch of sci-fi #shorts on galaxyezine when I get the chance.

Some of my #shorts have gotten two thousand views, most get nothing or just a few nibbles, but the night is yet young, and we shall see what happens after a few days of hanging around.

I’m not sure any of them have made the “short shelf” and I really don’t care — it’s enough to know that one or more of you in our work circle will hit the million-mark.

That’s the game, or should I say, that’s The Game. Continue reading

How to Market a Video Game

Your total job is to make people aware of our Work. Period. How you do this is entirely up to you and to the luck of the draw which creates your specific place in the world.

One way to make people aware of the Work is to put them right into it, and one of the best ways to do this is to introduce them to the world of spiritual gaming.

Okay, let’s say that you have in your hands the world’s best, most amazing, astounding, incredible and fantastic video game and that playing this game offers a PORTAL into the spirit world, and you can prove it and you have thousands of testimonials testifying to that fact.

You have in your virtual hands the Perfect Spiritual Video Game. But there’s a problem. Nobody wants to even LOOK at it, let alone download it and play it and join a LIVE community of avid players and tell all their friends about it on twitter and facebook and instagram and all those other social media networks.

Yes, you have it right there in front of you, and nobody wants to play your stupid game. So what are ya gonna do? Where will you go? What will you do?

Frankly, my dear, no one gives a damn. Continue reading

Promotion

Here are some good “target urls” that could be made into landing pages, selling pages, productive pages.

ask hives — This could be made into a gallery where you could buy signed and numbered prints on fine art paper, at a mere $50 apiece, for instance, for the small ones — 5″x7″ — and more for larger prints, of course. An enterprising person could add framing, which is where all the profit is in print dealing. You’ll sell anything just to get the framing job, and that’s a great side-hustle in itself. Continue reading

Is Your Promotion Shit, Gold or Dope?

If you didn’t understand a word of that title — shit, gold or dope — you’re not alone. You have plenty of company in your fellow baby boomers, and you’d be totally lost in the Brave New World of social media and 21st century marketing, which is very social, if you get my meaning, but the sociality is 100% artificial, like the life.

In short, you don’t speak the language anymore, dude. You’re utterly clueless in a world of swiping thumbs and shorthand text-style speech. You don’t know how to cope with a world that’s all masked up and socially distanced.

So you need to hire somebody to help you get your stuff out there. You can’t do it with what you’ve always done. It don’t work no more, and Windows 10 is your enemy. Continue reading

Youtube Video Promotion

It’s true — there are people Out There who are willing — and perhaps able — to promote your video to hundreds of thousands of potential viewers through fiverr.com and I checked it out to see if they are really there, and they are.

Go to fiverr, business section, and enter “youtube video promotion” into the search line, and see what you get — but click the “Pro” button before you wade through all the entries, and pay attention to who got praise from users.

Here’s the thing — you might pick out your best video, one that you made and uploaded, of course, and then hire someone on fiverr to promote it.

Does this work? Hard to say. Some of them get lucky, some don’t, but you have their feedback to guide you there.

In terms of obtaining what you want from the deal, that’s another story. Myself, I don’t want big numbers, I want quality, which means a very narrow niche market, like astral projection or interdimensional travel.

There aren’t millions of people out there looking for real information about these ideas — they just want something to satisfy their fears, hopes, hungers, sensations and urges.

Nothing serious. Continue reading

Autocracy Basics

Suddenly overnight find yourself living in an Autocracy? Don’t know what to do, don’t know the right words, don’t know the right people?

First off, are you now, or have you ever been, a member of an organized political party? If you answer yes, you won’t have ever voted Democrat.

I’m taking  a few moments away from working out on my Gretsch guitele, which finally has some new strings, although I haven’t yet affixed them to same, so I can write and sing some more devastatingly hilarious folk songs about Trumplestiltskin, to write a letter to Rachel Maddow, expressing a concern that you might also have about your own situation, so here’s an Open Letter To Rachel Maddow (I posted an email directly to her desk as well):

Hi, Rachel! I’m now 78 years out of port, having seen a hell of a lot. I’m a pro writer (Galaxy SF magazine, OMNI and a host of tv spots, gags & treatments and some 50 books currently in print and actually selling now and then) and that’s what I’m writing about. It’s not fanmail, although I have to say that your show is the only one I NEVER miss. This sometimes causes astonishing and unexpected situations. On the writing front, like John Lithgow — and this is the only comparison I’m going to make — I HAD to write a book about Trump or bust, and I did. It’s titled “Trump is a Four-Letter Word”. I hope my grandkids don’t adopt the same linquistic style as our current white house clown and, yes, I know — elect a clown, you get a circus. Well, I wrote the book and put it up for sale in a variety of formats, some three years ago. Like any other writer exercising First Amendment Rights and Steamletting Procedures, I vented full and well, and the book sits waiting for that viral moment, for which I may or may not be here. I’m sitting here these days waiting for that knock on the door, and that’s the reason I’m writing you. You’re the closest living being to Sherlock Holmes I’ve ever seen in action, so tell me — how long do I have to wait for that midnight knock?– ej gold

Is there anything you’ve done lately that might come to the direct attention of Trump or one or more of his brown-shirt goons?

If so, you might be high up on his LIST. You know which list I mean — the one that Nixon also kept.

It used to be bipartisan time, but now, it’s Friend or Enemy.

If you aren’t on the top of the ENEMIES list, don’t worry — your time will come soon enough. Actually EVERYBODY is on his list — he wants to take the entire planet with him when he goes.

The Bardo is NOT a lonely place, if you have friends in high places.

Got a book in you that’s demanding to get out? Hey, why wait until you can’t do it any more??? Write it now.

Are you a member of Congress? This is the time to speak out while you still can.

Do you have a vote? If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.

See You At The Top!

A Little Test Today

First of all, get everyone you can to view this and share it.

Here’s what I want you to do:

click here

Now select the three most interesting buttons and explore them, look at the video, check out the promotion around the video, and remember that the promo is NOT the video, meaning that any promotion can be woven around any video — the content doesn’t matter, it’s all in the clickability, the attraction-power of the thumbnail & the title. Nothing else matters anymore, anymore, Mama. Please believe me, content is no longer important if, indeed, it ever was.

The whole point is, does your button make me want to push it?

Now take a dozen of my videos and share the hell out of them, get them out there, and most of all, get others to help you to get those videos out there! Propagation and ripple outward is the plan and yes, that is the whole plan.

Here is the Work Plan for YOU:

It’s really very simple for at least the first year as a work novice. Get hold of an Institute product, or wait to be assigned one, and video your reaction to it. That’s the whole bit. Then upload it to youtube and correctly promote it with all the tags, hashtags and key words that you can manage, and keep it relevant and keep it hot.

The next step? Get another product and do it again. Keep doing it. Remember where it is you’re sending your viewers and get a shopping cart in place or suffer the consequences!

That’s the basic work for the first year, and if it’s possible, put up ten videos a day until one or more of them goes viral.

That is the object.

If you have a lot of time on your hands, put up fifty videos a day! You can bet that somewhere, sooner or later, one of our videos WILL go viral, and from then on, we sail like the wind!

Until then, we’re just making wind.

See You At The Top!!!
