Back in the day, YouTube was a lawless warzone with no known rules.
Getting YouTube partnership had no set structure. I hear today you get it just for signing up, weak.
In my day you had to prove yourself, but you didn’t know if it was about subscribers, total views, getting a lot of views in a short amount of time, have your links posted off the site, etc.
The only solution was do everything and go hard on it all til you get that underwhelming email from YouTube saying you’re set.
First time I did it, was with director, Patrick H Willems. This was back in 2010.
We started doing weekly geek-parody videos. Shorts about comic book characters, sci-fi movies, and all things filmmaking related.
Each week we went from new concept to shooting to posting to promoting the project.
As producer, I had to get everything together so the team could dive into work.
And as producer, I had to get 1000s of eyes balls on our content each week.
Then start the process again the following Monday.
Now game is to be sold, not told.
So if you want to know how I consistently got 100s of thousands of views on demand for 4 years straight on more than 200 YouTube videos, then watch the video I posted in the Knox & Friends Telegram Room.
Open to everyone, not only men.
Ask any questions on the subject of content creation, YouTube promotion, and filmmaking too. Happy to help you make confident moves with all 3 this season.
