Why Do I Put So Much Effort Into This Stupid Blog?
… when maybe one person will read it for every 10,000 people that watch my videos?
Oh- I remember now. It’s the profit from the ads I sell around these words.

Annoying Orange’s “Hey Apple” Creator
ByNalts
Meet Daneboe of Gagfilms, creator of the extremely popular “Annoying Orange” series. I interviewed him remotely in late 2007 for Metacafe Unfiltered, a short-lived “behind the scenes of popular creators.” Since he was in Florida, Freddy Nager suggested we do a homage to his popular “screaming eggs” video. So when I saw his recent Superbowl…
Even Water Heater Installations Can Be Interesting
ByNalts
Leave it to Greg Benson (mediocrefilms) to make a water-heater installation interesting… with sophomoric pranks and a bikini dancer. And Fast Water Heater stumbles into more effective use of online video than many leading consumer-packaged goods, hotel and technology brands. I spoke with Benson last night, and he wasn’t paid for this. But as a marketer,…
Would You Trust YOUR Brand to UGC? I Did and It Worked!
ByNalts
Would you trust your corporate or personal brand to strangers via UGC (user generated content)? I don’t mean the “conversations,” but the actual logo of the brand. Well I did, and it paid off! I made a video and tweeted last month inviting people to submit NaltsConsulting logos (offered a $100 prize for the winner),…

You’re right, Kevin. You should just create an e-mail list for the regulars. Then you could curse more and not have to worry about your mama finding you on Google searches.
Google searchs? Mom can see what I wrote on GOOGLE SEARCHS?? Nahhh Pfffff! Oh (beep).
*gives cookie*
I use Swamii it only searches the latest items and keeps a list of your interests, but you have to log into it.
Don’t worry Kevin. I curse enough for both of us.
I was gonna say “for the both of us” but then I felt the spelling nazi coming up behind me, ready to transform herself into the grammar nazi.
Don’t be a poopy head. Where do you think those 10,000 video views come from? Santy Claus?
I love this blog, its the only one on my rss, keep it up, we are reading!
Start charging a subscription rate for it. That’ll separate the wheat from the chaff.
well it reaches me here in Australia.
And I take what you say as gospel, St Nalts
so pull ya friggin head in!!
Oh thanks. I promise I wasn’t looking for pity here. I was just venting. My back hurts.
Nalts, at least people actually READ your blog. I have no idea why I started one, and why I continue to do one. Ten posts, and only 341 views to all of them combined! WHY DO I TRY SO HARD!?!??!
I don’t know how to read.
I read it everyday! You are brilliant and i enjoy learning from you.
keep it up Nalts, or just do what you want.. I’ll appreciate whatever you do or I’ll just ignore it.
PEACE!

You know we love you, Nalts. What would all your regulars do if you didn’t have this blog? We’d have to go back to our real lives, which aren’t nearly interesting enough.
I live vicariously through your brain.
You put so much time into this blog because you’ve been putting less time into new videos. And that’s probably a good thing. Since this message is 4 days old, I’m pretty sure you’ll never read it. Happy First of July.
It’s a holiday in Canada, Dahlia (Canada Day).
Hey, MDJ, how ah ya. I had an MRI today, and with any luck I’ll be seen at Mayo Clinic by the end of the month. CHEESE!
Did they inject the shrimp juice into you?
DahliaK: I had an MRI last week – they didn’t find anything.
This blog has been a reference point for me since I started producing online videos almost 2 years ago, It has been invaluable to me and I thank and honor you,
