How to drive viewers to your YouTube channel |
 Take a 2 minute break and enjoy...http://www.youtube.com/2020socialmediaWhat do Dan Harris, Will Correy, Ian Hendry, Norman Campbell, Matt Quinn, Ian Smith, Hugh Gordon, David Shaw, Mr Cliff & Paul Mansell have in common? They all appeared as competitors at the inaugural 2020 Social Media SPEAK Up conference and put their necks on the block. Brave warriors to a man, they competed for the right to SPEAK Up and say more about what makes them tick. They were up against the clock in round 1. Each had only 2 minutes to impress the judges. Not Lord Sugar or Simon Cowell but our very own 2020 Social Media audience. Nearly 100 strong, they had dragged themselves out of bed on a chilly November morning to hear more about this social media phenomena. I’d bumped into Dan through t'Internet. Posting a comment about his appearance on The Apprentice which he deemed worthy of a “Thank you” I asked if he would like to join us for the day out in Marlow. He insisted on sausages on his "rider", naturally we obliged with a healthier option than he is used to ;) The 100 attendees at the event all had a vote. They could vote for 1 or more, all 10 if they felt the need. The TOP 3 would make the day's final ... we'll announce the results next week when we’ve loaded the 20 minute presentations. Loading to YouTube takes some time if you have high quality footage. But we should have a web final also, hardly fair to just let it be the 100 in the crowd, let you the people decide ... so how about this ... Round 2 : Driving viewers to YouTube @2020socialmedia Below are the initial 2 minute presentations and to make this a level playing field I have presented them in the inverse order to which they were loaded up. So Paul from MarlowFM was loaded first, around 9:30am this morning, so he is at the bottom of this list. While Dan was loaded last, just completed, and so is at the top. For this round it is about the number of plays each video gets. The video that gets played the most will be winner of round 2. Will it be the SM gurus or the more traditional operator that wins the day. The current YouTube views 3 days in Round 2 - Norman:323 Dan:148 Hendry:80 David:59 Paul:57 Matt:52 Will:48 MrCliff:38 Hugh:24 Ian Smith:19 So Mr David Shaw is proving popular with his traditional "What's a blog?" fan base and Hendry with his thousands of online Twitter followers is running 3rd to our celebrity and big Norm who has just come speeding through on the inside lane! Will the SM gurus get beaten by more traditional PR types? Who knows? You decide ... Let’s leave round 2 open until next Friday as all contenders were unaware of this round of the competition and to be fair, so was I until 2 minutes ago when it came to me ;) Go watch some videos ... and fellas, send me some words in that I can add to your own dedicated news stories ... I can then push each out as you send it in ... that will help drive more viewers ... ARE YOU READY? GO! Every so often we'll switch the order based on who attracts the most viewers in the last time frame ... this way those who are working harder are rewarded with easier access and more views if people hit this page ...
