I’ve been following my friend ‘Nessa on youtube for several months now on her youtube channel, “Project Girl Boss” — go to Nessa’s channel — and I have taken and relied upon her advice for many of my recent adventures in youtube marketing and promotion, and this evening, I communicated to her that the latest hint I had received from her videos was to be challenging, provocative and resistant in my headlines, at least, and I did it with about 20 videos I launched about 20 hours ago.
She is very responsive to her viewers and I appreciate this — it’s one of her primary recommendations, that you interact with others, and that’s good advice, in these isolated and troubled times.
For your very mental health, stay connected.
So one of those videos I made earlier today has taken off and is still flying, at 600 views, in just a few hours! I haven’t had a blowup like that for YEARS, and I owe it to Nessa, so thank you so much, and it’s not just about me — as a matter of fact, it’s ALL about my Circle of Friends and how they are faring in this virtual world that Jack built.
So a lot of my headlines ran something along the lines of “Don’t watch this” or “Bet you can’t do this” or “go soak your head in a barrel of water”. Just kidding about the last one.
Anyhow, really challenging, which in gamer terms signifies the inner esoteric circle of whatever clan we’re talking about — these are the shakers & movers, those “in the know”, and everyone else is excluded, kept in a lower rank.
Of course, there’s no lower rank than “noob”, and that’s what the other members of a clan typically are dedicated to keeping you in the ranks of — sorry about that dangling participle, it sometimes helped cannot be.
Nessa said in her video that you might not want to believe that people will — well, will sucker into the clickbait, but as she assures us, they do and they will, and that’s why my video had what looks like a momentary blowup which hopefully will carry a bit longer on, to coin a third running dangling participle.
Maybe you know someone who wears a dangling Godd™ Participle? I do, on a silver chain. Don’t Leave Home Without It.
So, gosh, I was happily surprised to see a video finally sprouting up to some health, after seeing so many of my video efforts get flushed down the proverbial Toilet of Public Indifference.
Maybe you’ve been there, too. Your videos seem to all have the same audience of the same three people, all three of whom are subscribers to your channel, but you also see them at the breakfast table every morning.
In short, you have no voice, and therefore nothing you say will be of note to anyone. That might become an obstacle on your Path to Liberation, which you should be on already — there’s really no time to waste.
It won’t do to put it off until you no longer are able to work. Try doing that with the plumbing or the gardening, and see what happens.
Right. So get to work, make some 15 second #Shorts and get your ass off the proverbial couch and strapped into making some viral video hits!
You could with very little effort become a viral video creator, and that would greatly help the entire Community of Work around the world!
That’s one BIG way you could help.
And the best thing is, there’s no money involved, at least not from you to youtube. Now, if you want to get rewarded for #Shorts innovations and winners, you can conceivably earn thousands of dollars a day from advertising and other revenue from your shorts!!!
It’s a great side-hustle to start with, and if successful, you can build it to the top! What I mean by “side-hustle” is, don’t dump your present income, if you still have any.
This is the time to use your copious free time to build a virtual empire. What? You HAVE no copious spare time?
Well, didn’t we lose our lives, then??? Gosh, if you have no time that is YOUR OWN to spend as you please, you have truly lost your life, and you need to regain it.
There’s a precise method of doing this. You won’t be able to do it without serious help, but fortunately, the help is here and available, and it’s friendly, easy and painless to ask for help, but of course, the ego is a delicate and fragile thing, so… maybe you can’t.
If you’re one of the many who can’t bring themselves to ask for help — for whatever reason they’ve cooked up to explain it — you may need help asking for help asking for help for help.
What I mean is, it might take a while to get up the stuff to actually ask, so you hang out around folks in a ZOOM chatroom until comes the day you can bring yourself to ask for help.
They will, of course, ask what kind of help you need, and if you can’t answer truthfully and clearly, their help won’t amount to much, no matter how enthusiastically it’s delivered.
In other words, you really need to come clean, and this is largely a trust issue. Trust Issues and Daddy and/or Mommy Issues are the primary cause of psychiatry.
I’ll bet you didn’t know that. Well, now you do. Okay, so then what? You’ve asked for help, and…??? And help you’ll get. Maybe not YOUR definition of help, but help you’ll get.
Here’s the help I would categorically offer you at this time:
- MAKE A VIDEO #SHORT — Make a funny, interesting, puzzling or oddball video that is somewhere under 60 seconds — ideally, the time should be at 15 seconds flat.
- POST THE SHORT — Challenge the viewer to watch the video.
- HAVE A LANDING PAGE READY — Make sure you drive the traffic where you want it to end up — either building your “subscriber” list or landing on an “Add to Shopping Cart” url that translates into sales or signups or reservations for virtual dinner.
There are methods to this madness, and I hope you take the time and trouble to pick up a few tips before you rush headlong into the fury of the center of the cyclone.
You can get a lot of those tips from my friend Nessa, and I’ve posted a few myself. We’ll talk at the ZOOM meeting at 6:30 am PST this morning, and I’ll field any questions on this subject.
You can actually make a living from this shit, but you have to believe it or the pixie dust doesn’t work.
Don’t just stand around on the ground with the grownups, get airborne today, at the Prosperity Virtual Ashram, and don’t forget to visit the Women’s Creative Workshop!
See You At The Top!!!
