I also run a forum and was wondering which advertisement method to use. I had youtube in mind and was working on a comedy gaming video so hopefully I can get same success as you. Thanks.
No problem...as long as you make good quality videos which ARE NOT BORING you will succeed 100 percent.
I am trying to think of what kind of videos I could submit for my niche? (poker chips: reviews, forum, articles, buying giudes etc)
I sell advertsing on my poker chips forum. Poker Chips are the "topic" discussed on my forum. Like coin colelcting, but poker chips. Also people who PLAY poker talk about the best products to play poker with.
OK, well to attract people to your forum using youtube you'd want to make a video with people playing poker. Emphesise the use of the chips by showing people scooping up chips when they win. You might want to rip some world poker games off youtube and get the commentry. People LOVE hearing the commentators going "OH AND HE WINS THE MILLION DOLLARS" or somthing like that, so include that too. Either have your forums logo or the URL appear at the start of the video so that you get it out there. Also have it in the main title (don't put it in bold and don't keep the logo on the screen for too long or else it'll look spammy). This method works, you might have to make multiple videos...and be sneaky it you can, put a title like "Streaker ruins poker game!!!" or something...attract attention
Nice video, I can see why your getting traffic from them. I actually was able to watch the entire thing. And liked it.....
You are doing well.pls think about stuffs that ppl will have interest.If you put more effort youwill earn doble and double.
good post Jack. Really nice to hear other peoples successfull ideas. What software is best to edit those type of vids for youtube? fadein/outs, add text and that sort of stuff?
