Everything is nothing. What any scientist will tell you: When you get right down to it, there’s really nothing here.

The thing is, you don’t actually need to be told this and it doesn’t have to be explained or demonstrated — it’s right in front of you.

It’s also behind you and within you and without you. It’s the universe, and it’s made up of stars, but then again, so are you.

Quote from Wikipedia, the 100% reliable science-source since the Fall of Rome: Continue reading

The question has popped up several times in the past two days on my youtube channels, “Is this a joke?”, to which I replied yes, it is a joke, and it’s also a challenge.

My standup fans will appreciate how bizarre the situation is, when you can monetize #shorts, monetize your own music whether you use it or someone else does — songs are tracked by their electronic fingerprints and users are charged accordingly — and use other people’s music to create things for which you don’t get paid, but which bring your subscribers in by the thousands.

You’ll need to more or less instantly develop the complete and unshakable confidence that people LOVE what you’re doing and really appreciate deeply what you’re offering in the way of entertaining channel-building videos on youtube.

I’ve just spent the entire night creating 15 second #shorts videos for youtube, and I’m hoping you’ll be able to use them for your work.

What I have in mind is that you see something you like — in the way of #shorts — somewhere on my channels, and you order a related video, one which somewhat resembles the other, but is different enough to qualify for youtube publication.

You should select things that really go with the central theme of your channel and, yes, your channel should have a definite theme. Continue reading

I’m blasting off into outer space with my ejgoldguru youtube channel, and I have a possibly useful strategy, if you make as many short films in one work session as I do — I make typically anywhere from a half-dozen to a dozen videos, but we are cautioned by the experts not to spam these up there, so I have, as I mentioned, a possible solution.

Wait until the last-uploaded video has gotten stuck — meaning no activity in at least twenty minutes, maybe wait an hour if you are unsure — until you upload the next one.

So only upload when there’s no other action on your channel, and watch carefully to see that the videos are catching on. If not, you can blame your title — that’s what’s usually the cause of little or no views. Continue reading

You might already know that I’m testing out my incredible and fascinating Animated Greenscreens that I use for my youtube videos.

Using youtube was, for me, the easiest route to achieving a viewable result, and it would be for me the simplest to actualize in a continuing way, meaning workshops and talks.

What I wanted was a way to create excitement in the viewer, animating the viewer into following the hotlink to some downloading type website, where we could monitor the traffic and try to anticipate its source. Continue reading
