Comments on: Three Golden Rules of Online-Video Creation

Not bad advice. I actually took a bunch of time away from YouTube because of a “personal situation”, and before I left, I was definitely caught up in catering to what my viewers enjoyed, instead of doing what earned most of my subscribers in the first place: creating lots of unique, entertaining footage. (Of course, “entertaining” is subjective. Videos featuring the combination of Mountain Dew & Cough Syrup, or the chronicles of a man born with a bag for a face, etc… might be downright boring to some.)

All the same, I still value the people who watch my stuff, and I’m insanely thankful for them, but my days of creating tutorials and informational videos simply because that’s what I was being asked for is over. (I may still continue making them, but only if I want to!)

After all, the slogan is “Broadcast yourself”, not “Broadcast what everyone else wants you to do”.

Anyway, just my 2 cents on the topic. Hmmm, that’s probably overpriced at two cents – I’ll take one cent. Heck, just don’t kick me in the head and I’ll be fine!

Sukatra: I only work part-time in the summer (summer school, 4 days a week, 3 hours a day, for 6 weeks starting 7/7), so I would love to have Hank around. I miss having a little kid around. Sure, ship him off to me.

I never saw this post about the cheese blitz. I guess that’s why my video had nothing to do with cheese… but crackers. When I thought of the video idea, my only instinct was to parody what nalts did and do the opposite. That’s how I came up with the “Not So Naked Crackers” idea. But it’s still good to be part of the cheese blitz. Mmmmm cheese blitz!

My room just caught fire again so I have to go sleep out on the living room guest couch, otherwise I’d offer it, sukatra. I like kids. They give my momma someone to talk to on her level. Right now, my dog is filling that role.

hey, I never said I was a good mother. I’m always looking for opportunities to pawn him off on somebody else. Unfortunately I don’t usually have any. We’ve been living here in virginia since fall of 2006 and I haven’t used a babysitter once, whereas I had all sorts of babysitting sources in California and had a nanny when he was a baby.

Since you’ve got so much experience having kids at home during the summer, mind if I ship him off to you?

suaktra: I was wondering if you employed summer camps. You wuss. I had my kids at home with me all summer long. It is amazing I survived.

Apparently, this blog’s moderator cut the cheese, Marilyn.
