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.

Sucks All Of the Humor Out of the Room

All you can ever hope when you make a stupid online video is a reaction. You don’t really care if it’s positive or negative. And that’s what I got with the Lay Me Off. Yahoo gave me a gift I’ll always treasure. It’s hundreds and hundreds of scathing comments about the video, and I’ve only…
My First Shout Out (boring “history of nalts” post)
ByNalts
Don’t know what a “shout out” is? It’s when you mention someone in your video. Don’t care? Stop reading. This blog entry isn’t for the industry watchers, but for the small group of obscure people that watch my crap. I stumbled into my first “shout out” video recently. In this fake PSA I did about…

He “Wrote the Book” on Viral Video
ByNalts
I’ve decided to write a book on viral video — aimed primarily at marketers and advertisers since amateur videographers and film makers don’t have enough money to buy books. Naturally I haven’t written a book before, but I sometimes read them. So I figure I’m pretty qualified. The working title is: “The Profit (Prophet) of Viral…
PhotographerofNalts Has Online Gallery

A friend of mine snapped most of the photos I’m using for my sites, publishing and conferences. I recently uploaded the hundreds he gave me digitally into my iPhoto, and they now rotate and dance across my AppleTV screen saver like some weird self-indulgent ego parade. My wife told me last night that she was…
Play Cards With the Richest Deck: Financial Terrorists
ByNalts
Surely you remember the deck of “most wanted terrorist playing cards.” Now our very own Jan has come up with The Financial Terrorist card deck. Who wouldn’t want a deck of these on their table? Talk about a conversation starter… that might ultimately end up with a finished box of red wine, some cursing and tears…
New Ad Units on YouTube
ByNalts
YouTube has been recently experimenting with a wealth of new ad units that go far beyond the adjacent display ads or lower-screen “InVideo” ads that sneak up. While pre-rolls are still rampant, the variety and quality of the creative is making them more bearable and effective. Here are some examples, and I’ve seen my own revenue per…

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,
