I AM A STRONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY, VIBRANT, AND CREATIVE WOMAN

December 8, 2008

“I AM A STRONG, HEALTHY, HAPPY, VIBRANT, AND CREATIVE WOMAN!”

What? You don’t say that to yourself daily? Then you need a better psychiatrist

I think I’d better do a video of me reaffirming that in a public place.

Despite the Palin parody, I thought you were a man.

You should do a collab with inappropriate reaffirmations.

“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”

I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggoneit, people, they…..doggoneit….

Ah, who am I kidding. I’m a total and complete failure. A waste of human tissue. A disgrace to our species! Someone vote me off the island right now!

@4: No you are not!!! You must think positively about yourself! At least until sukatra gets here and rips you a new one.

6 Peter Coffin December 8, 2008 at 12:39 pm

I am a damn good mother, and my children are proof.

7 somecallmejim December 8, 2008 at 12:59 pm

@5

:-D

@6

But all your children are dead.

8 Peter Coffin December 8, 2008 at 1:31 pm

I’d say that makes me a good mother on account they were all terrible people.

9 sukatra December 8, 2008 at 3:22 pm

What a load of crap.

10 Reubnick December 8, 2008 at 3:46 pm

As a matter of fact, I told myself that statement seconds before coming here.

11 JohnOfJordan December 8, 2008 at 4:23 pm

I love strong, healthy, vibrant and creative women… Like Louise Hay for example.

Everything is working out for the best… maybe.

12 marquisdejolie December 8, 2008 at 5:10 pm

Huh?

This post is a marketing, keyword, search engine thing, isn’t it!?

13 JimmerSD December 8, 2008 at 6:15 pm

I was feeling comfortable and now I’m not so sure…

I believe you are involved in a sexist plot to make me sit.

14 NutCheese December 8, 2008 at 9:02 pm

I said that to myself this morning. :)

15 marquisdejolie December 8, 2008 at 9:28 pm

I just saw Bill O’Reilly call anyone who watches the “Charlie Bit My Finger” video a pinhead. He played the video full screen for 30 seconds. Geez. Wish he’d call one of MY video stoopid and run it on national TV full screen!

16 jischinger December 8, 2008 at 10:08 pm

I had to read the article to get the joke.

I actually have the answer Kevin, I’ll e-mail it to you ;)

17 somecallmejim December 8, 2008 at 11:31 pm

@15

Bill O’Reilly thinks everyone’s a pinhead. One day your day in the light will come…

Personally, I think your stuff would mesh with the Colbert Report a little better though ;-)

18 marquisdejolie December 9, 2008 at 12:51 am

@17
Actually, the segment is entitled “Pinheads and Patriots.”

So you think Colbert would be interested in my poetry series, eh? No wait, the train series. Couldn’t be the homeless attorney stuff or the veterans shelter series. Or the cute grandbaby stuff. Must be the swamp series. No, the crack motel stuff. Crack motels are always funny.

20 Peter Coffin December 9, 2008 at 7:49 am

@17 I think Colbert would be most interested in your half-naked drunk mother. Email their staff post haste!

21 JimmerSD December 9, 2008 at 7:51 am

^ Da

22 Nalts December 9, 2008 at 11:57 am

See- it’s all about Loise Hayes. Although I like her voice better when I imagined her as an African American.

23 marquisdejolie December 9, 2008 at 12:42 pm

^So what is she, a skinhead?

24 somecallmejim December 9, 2008 at 3:39 pm

Hey Nalts, Peter, & Other partners: did you see that YouTube is letting us upload custom thumbnails now?!?

(click)

25 Peter Coffin December 9, 2008 at 3:45 pm

I did! It’s great. I can have widescreen video and thumbnails that don’t look like I’m bootlegging movies.

26 Reubnick December 9, 2008 at 3:55 pm

It must be GREEEEAAAATTTT to be a partner, huh?? It must be f***in’ fantastic, huh? HUH? WELL, SOME OF US CAN’T GET IN THE PARTNERS PROGRAM!!! IT DOESN’T FEEL THAT GREAT!

It is kind of funny that they’ve rejected me 9 times, though, isn’t it?

27 Peter Coffin December 9, 2008 at 4:02 pm

You gots to get more creative wit’ yo promotion, Reubs! Get stuff out there on forums, fark, ebaums, digg, etc.

You can’t be a partner when you average a couple hundred views per video… I’d say people don’t want to buy ads on that. Not that you aren’t good (and not that it even matters!), just put yourself out there more.

28 Reubnick December 9, 2008 at 4:41 pm

@27

I actually did try to create myself a wikipedia page 2 days ago. Those nerdy moderators took it down in less than 3 minutes. Haha! Is that a good start?

29 somecallmejim December 9, 2008 at 7:50 pm

Reub,

Forget about Wikipedia. The editors there will never let you in. Heck, an argument over whether Nalts is cool enough breaks out every three days.

After I upload a video to YouTube, the first thing I do after that is tag it on Digg, Fark, StumbleUpon, Delicious, and a few of the other sites that people frequent looking for new inspiration.

After that, if the video isn’t a YouTube specific video, I’ll head over to TubeMogul and deploy it to all the related video sharing sites that I can. Usually in the description I throw in a comment that I don’t check this site very often, so please visit my YouTube channel.

Finally, if I can promote the video through the blogs I visit or twitter, I drop a line there. Sometimes those are better than the StumbleUpons and Diggs out there, because those people actually know me.

Release one video every day for the next two weeks. For every video, follow these steps. I can guarantee your subscription base will grow.

30 JimmerSD December 9, 2008 at 8:05 pm

Great info Jim. I have always cringed a little when I think about trying the shameless self promotion avenue. Funny thinking that way and then putting myself on public display like I do. But a camera and the internets seem a lot different than standing on a street corner screaming for attention, but as it turns out it is quite the same thing.

Short of setting up something like a lisabot I can’t think of a better approach than what you have outlined.

31 sukatra December 9, 2008 at 8:09 pm

Robnickel -

don’t feel bad. i can’t get into the partners program either.

32 somecallmejim December 9, 2008 at 8:37 pm

For the record, Reub and sukatra,

You both aught to be partners. Lately my videos are barely averaging any views, but YouTube let me have the status.

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve been a partner three months now and I’m still not quite to receiving my first adsense check. You’ll never get rich off it.

@Jimmer

You know, I used to feel like I should just sit back and let my video quality speak for itself.

The I realized if I did that, I’d have no views, and 2 subscribers: both of which being my own sock accounts.

So I scream from the mountaintops: “Come one, come all! Come and see my mediocre content!”

:-D
