Sorry this blog has been dark. I fell asleep for 5 days. Here’s a sneak preview of my book, Beyond Viral. You can preorder it. I already ordered two copies, and plan to give them 5-star ratings that say things like “best book I’ve ever read,” and “I’m buying a copy for everyone on my team.”
I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again in case you weren’t listening. Unless you’re Felicia Day or maybe MediocreFilms, don’t bother selling your amateurish videos online. I don’t know that I’ve made any money selling copies on YouTube (heck I don’t even know if I’ve activated it). And I’ve sold exactly two of…
One of the benefits of having a daily vlog channel (see definition below), is you can drop in subtle product placements or promotions for friends — but still do proper sponsored videos on the core channel. See as an example today’s Unclenalts video (a 356-day vlog channel, dubbed “YouTube Orbit.” I wanted to plug Daisy…
Caitlin Hill, known online as TheHill88, received NYC’s National Arts Club’s prestigious “Medal of Honor” this week (see press release which I just finished toiling over because I’m consulting with Hitviews. The 20-year-old Australian video creator joins former medal recipients Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Leonard Bernstein, Salvador Dali, and Martin Scorcese. Three US Presidents have…
In my unscientific study I have identified the best and worst site for getting videos viewed quickly. This is based on my own experiments as well as feedback from some of you that have found this to be true as well. Best site for getting views quickly: AOL Uncut (the consumer-generated portion of AOL). Example-…
Now it’s your fault if you’re bored online and can’t find anything good to watch (besides Nalts crap). Tilzy.tv aggregates and lists a lot of the top episodic programming, and may especially helpful as a transition drug to online-video. Especially for you noobs who still think television is more interesting. The name, branding and tagline…
You know who you should have on your show, Oprah? Hank and John of Vlogbrothers, who became popular when they communicated for a year strictly through alternating “video blogs” (vlogs). Here’s the pitch, Oprah producer (or someone who knows them and will forward this on). The two guys have a loyal following of “Nerdfighters” who…

Congrats. Do jingle writers get freebies?
I pre-ordered your book. You’ve got sale! For some reason, Amazon noted that the people who buy your book also buy women’s panties and gas masks. What’s that about?
You are buying a copy for “everybody on your team?” Does that include all of us usual WVFF commenters? We are kind of like a team. A snarky, relatively dysfunctional team, but still a team. Like the Pittsburgh Pirates.
No, seriously though, I will eventually order that book. Right now I can’t even afford to buy a pair of pants, but I will eventually buy it. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.
I’m going to post a review to Amazon…
“Gripping! Mezmerizing! I couldn’t put it down! It caused me to slam into a stopped city bus good! “
“I Laughed! I cried! I Pooped!”
I saw my picture in your book. I’m contacting my lawyer! I’m going to sue you and YouTube. I’m gonna be RICH BIATCH!
I think your next book should be titled:
E-mail – and why I don’t answer it.
I’m looking forward
To my autographed copy.
When will it arrive?
At least now we know what the kids are getting for stocking stuffers this year.
