Making a funny YouTube Video for traffic.

INTERNET MARKETING

This is my 113th video post on youtube.

LANGUAGE WARNING:

YouTube - How to play JJ

Every once in awhile I make a video that is funny, odd, sad (bad beats), or controversial in some way. This is my latest attempt. Sometimes they don't work out as planned, but usually videos with an effective twist are likely to get diggs, forum posts, blog posts that make them more viral. It really helps the views of your other - more serious - call to action videos.

If you wouldn't mind to digg this for me (search Turtleknife on youtube), it would be much appreciated. I would like to get it over 1,000 views its first day without me emailing my list about it.

Hmm..It would be quite a challenge getting people to digg if you do not post the url or ur vid?

LOL. That was me whenever I tried this $%&£ing game. Need frustration in your life, play Mario.

BTW, just been getting wasted playing Resistance 2 on PS 3. I should record Rieko and me cuyrsing a blue streak when that %$£&ing Goliath fries our @$$es for the gazillionth time.

My apologies to Miss Taylor for my foul language.

Am I the only one who sees this as nothing but
an attempt to get extra views and diggs for a
youtube video?

I also object to any content that contains
profanity on a business forum.

  I believe John was speaking of the OP's topic which was asking for diggs/promotion for their own video... self promotion is frowned upon here...

Decent video dude...

No offense, but doesn't even begin to approach the epic "Tuff Fish" poker videos on YouTube. But still unique and entertaining with your own little personal touch on it.

Can I make a suggestion though?

I would suggest that when you leave your description you should put your clickable link first and then maybe like a double space and then the actual description.

I only say this because the way it appears now, your link only shows up when someone (me) clicks on the "more info" button. If you put it first it would always show up and should help improve your click thru rates.

Good post too...always like to see what people are doing in REAL niches outside of IM, especially the poker niche.

As for the language, I think you have to speak how your customers speak and that is definitely how the online poker playing community tends to talk...for whatever that is worth. While this is a business forum, you are only asking for feedback and stated rather clearly that there was foul language in the video....so don't sweat it.

Ed

Thanks

Ok thanks.. I will watch for language and self promotion in future, but it was more to the point of letting people know that ALL of their videos need not be too serious.

  The Mario Video is funny but I think it's too much of 'F' word in the video. It's still a good video for fun anyway! :-)

Yeah, not claiming to be the best at ANYTHING! However, anyone can make effective, viral videos that work for any niche.
