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?

Inside Online Video reports: With the explosion of HD online video, YouTube is… raising (its) maximum file size (from 100 mb) to one gigabyte with (its) new multi-video uploader. Download the software here so you can upload multiple videos here. P.S. This is PC only. Jerks.
Toni Munna, YouTuber and author, joined our pre-gathering at my home before the NYC 7.7.07 event and snapped this photo and wrote this nice piece on YouTube’s community. I like it because Toni said my videos are “funny, charming, clever and professionally done.” I paid her $5 per adjective, or $20 in total. But she…
You know I really don’t care if anyone buys the “If You Don’t Like Farts, Stay Out of the Library” t-shirts. There are some things you do for others, some you do for money, and some you do just for some inexplicable self indulgence. So here’s the shirt I just designed for my CafePress Nalts…
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…
In an interesting update on the preroll formats on the world’s largest video site, Gigaom reports that 60% of prerolls are “skippable.” After 5 seconds the viewer can jump past the ad, and advertisers pay nothing. The piece also quoted CEO Larry Page as saying that growth wouldn’t necessarily come at the expense of TV…
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…

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. 🙂
