Out of the Office Post
I was getting bummed about the landslide decline in WVFF readers. Then someone explained that it’s summer vacation. Yeah- that’s it. Summer vacation. Let me know when you’re back, eh?
Are you back yet?

Right now we’re monitoring online video websites based on many views they can get us (and, of course, if they share the ad revenue). The single most important thing to drive views is an online video site liking your content enough to feature it. But do you know what the SINGLE most important thing will…
From Reuters… the chronologically challenged are also getting into YouTube. YouTube, the popular online home video site, has an unexpected star — a septuagenarian British widower — whose soft-spoken, humble manner has won the hearts of users of the youth dominated Web site. Peter posted his first video on YouTube about a week ago, under the user…
Editorial note: I’m writing about building cults on YouTube, and doing so with authority since I’m a marketing author who has been seen more than 200 million times on YouTube alone. More importantly, I’ve read The Secret, and I’ve placed my “order to the universe” that you’ll read this, share it, and refer to it…
Look, I’ve never been a big fan of pre-rolls. But this is insane. I searched for a movie trailer today and found IMDB (a site I love, and one that deserves to monetize itself). But before I could watch the trailer, I was subjected to a pre-roll ad. Woah, tiger. I just volunteered to watch…
A fireball seen streaking through the sky in Lakeway, Texas “turned night to day,” according to a police officer who witnessed the event.Hundreds of residents who witnessed the bright light in the sky called police and media, KNBC-TV reported. “A police officer who captured the video said the light turned night into day,” Local 6’s…
Thanks to Joe Chapuis (WebVideoZone) for pointing this Boing Boing report out. It appears that the language around YouTube’s ownership of your content is getting a little tighter. Fortunately, they’re not trying to go for “exclusives.” Here’s a Boing Boing post by David Gulbransen that reminds us that a) we can always yank our videos,…

Anything you care to read about? I’m taking requests at this point.
Most your stuff is really good (you are top 15 on my feed list)
Personally, Id like you to take a look at Second Life and similar games, there is a whole load of video stuff in there & massive potential
Mobile video
Monetization and promotion
Using video for spamming/hoaxing and link baiting
Quick tricks to make better video.
Detailed case studies of virals (like the trojan games for example)
My favourite stuff is the tips, how tos, monetization/ promotion stuff. The general news is already everywhere.
Dont worry too much about the traffic (unless its paying your bills), the best sites are never the busiest, just keep a focus on the quality
I can email you a few tips to get the traffic flowing again if you like.
whoops, any chance you can remove the username up there pls ?
Hey Mike, do you ever read a magazine called ‘Limo Driver’ put out by Bobit Publishing in Torrance? I used to paginate that magazine. Bobit puts out ‘School Bus Driver’, too. Fascinating reads (sarcasm).
Mike, what is this link baiting? Sounds like something I wanna do.
Thanks- MikeStar. Great comments.
No probs, but Nalts, could you remove the link & username (see post 4) thats not me! I was just logged in for a client at the time and didnt realise.
No, never read it, but i will look at it.
thanks
Link baiting = performancing.com/node/38
Oh yeah, I do that all the time. Never knew it had a name. I’m a linkbaiter and didn’t know it. Thanks.
I think I did it. If not- tell me again what to do (like I’m a child)
Surf the weblogs, read one or two posts, comment something that looks halfway relevant (making sure your screenname is linked back to your own blog). Basically, blog spamming, but no direct plea to come and see whatever. If you make your comment curious enough, they’ll have to click on your screenname and get brought to your blog.
I’ve seen your comments all over the internet, Kevin. You’re a linkbaiter.
Yeah, Perfect Thanks.
You really want to put this site on your own domain too if you can. Long term its well worth it.
I’m here, and I want you to run some how-to stuff for me, so I don’t have to figure it all out myself. Get right there into the dirt of it. Show me something clever in editing, in video storytelling. Show me how you set up shots for best viewing on a small screen versus a monitor, versus both screens with the same piece of film.
Your site is a must-read. I love everything I learn here.
This is great stuff. I have all of these notes on a “sticky note” on my Google homepage. Appreciate the feedback.
Anon- can you suggest an easy way to host this blog on my own server? I am dying to be able to manipulate the code and run Google analytics. But I’m kinda low tech so it’s got to be pretty easy.
Thanks,
KN
Yeah, sure, Ill mail you some details.
