Naked cheese video. See explanation below. This explanation will be deleted in 24 hours. A PROFOUND apology to WillVideoForFood readers. The idea of a pure cheese video was spawned from this post about 3 rules of viral video. I got a “dare you to make a video about cheese” note from a regular WVFF contributor…

Video Sponsorship Trends: “Cashing In” or “Selling Out”

ByNalts June 11, 2008December 20, 2009

I like this “Viral Video: Cashing In or Selling Out” by Jennifer Hollett (Canadian Globe & Mail), and not just because I’m featured in it. It’s actually a well-balanced view of the issues surrounding paid sponsorship and product placement. As you may know, there are two different ways to make money via online video. You…

Selling Out? Cashing In? The Canadian Perpective…

ByNalts May 28, 2008December 20, 2009

Canadian publication “Globe and Mail” did a story about viral video: cashing in or cashing out. I’m mentioned a few times in the piece, and it’s an interesting exposition… Globetechology.com Jennifer Hollett takes on a variety of views about the appropriateness of sponsored ads. I was tickled to see Hollett digging up this old piece…

Yes, Jenna. There is a YouTube.

Jenna from YouTube asks the questions (in the comments from a recent post). The humble viral video genius gives the answers… Hey Nalts, I have some questions about the history of video blogging and the history of Nalts (you). Did the guys who made YouTube intend for it to be used as a video blogging…

The Power of Blogs for Video Viralization (MacBook Air Parody Case Study)

ByNalts January 17, 2008December 20, 2009

As I mentioned in my recent eBook (“How to Become Popular on YouTube Without Any Talent“), Obama-Girl creator Ben Relles taught me about the power of blogs to get a viral video to a tipping point. Candidly, I’m usually too lazy to go searching for blogs that might like a video, and kinda hope they’ll…

Well, you loyal WillVideoForFood.com readers, please reserve your front row seats, because the auditorium may be filling with some TechCrunch visitors. They actually crunched about my eBook. Here’s my original post about the book, titled “How to Become Popular on YouTube (Without Any Talent).” Here’s my video reaction to the coverage. Or maybe TechCrunch didn’t…

ByNalts January 4, 2008December 20, 2009

Coming Soon: Best of Nalts DVD

ByNalts December 17, 2007December 17, 2007

HappySlip is selling “best of” DVDs, so I had to do it too. I may not be as hot, but at least I’m not as funny. I’m using CreateSpace because it looks easy, and a couple others have used it. Anyone use ’em? I didn’t realize, until I’d started my account this morning, that it’s…
