For some reason it has taken me an absolute age to get my / our first video on to YouTube. May be it was the technical catastrophes that befell our aging computer and camera equipment, may be it was purely because I was scared to do it, scared that someone I knew would see it and laugh at me and not with me.
Whatever the reason that held me back I finally filmed and edited an introduction video to Transmit7 and uploaded it to the famous website to join the millions of users and audience members. I thought I’d give it a go and if someone did see it then at least that would be one person.
By the Tuesday morning, right now in fact, the video had received a whopping 5 views. I was amazed at how few people had actually seen it and I was one of them. I uploaded it on Sunday night after all and titled it ‘My First Time Caught on Camera’, saucy title I know, definitely one that would grab the YouTube people’s attention.
Our Twitter following has grown to over 6000 over several accounts and by tweeting the link and telling everyone to go and see our first video that I would at least gain 100 views quite quickly. How wrong was I? Even repeat retweeting of the link hasn’t done much. I know it isn’t the greatest video in the world, but they don’t know that until they are there afterall.
I’m not going to let this knock me, I know it is hard to get people to watch stuff that isn’t made by already famous YouTubers. I’ll keep going, don’t worry.
Here’s the link if you would so kindly help keep my faith in the project, oh and tell a friend please: http://t.co/d5GzoOqA
