Wow, I'm feeling accomplished !

What an epic movie making experience this has been..


Lights, Camera , Action

I have been in the movie industry as part of a feature film crew but am a total novice in the self produced world of YouTube. After many days and late nights of toiling, today I called it a wrap and posted my first YouTube video and it is now live.



The Plot

This project is a tutorial for a product on my site and was intended as a solution to a limitation of the product, and hopefully helps others who may see this limitation as a deal breaker.

It took me 2 weeks to complete this task and I have learnt so much that I'm not sure how I carried it around in my head, but I think I have really turned a corner.


The Goal

The goal was to enhance my brand and step up my ad campaign to reach my audience through affiliate marketing, using the YouTube video as a spring board.


I Taught myself:

  • Shooting video on a webcam
  • Editing & synching audio
  • Uploading and encoding video
  • Rogue presenting
  • Tagging
  • Audience targeting
  • How to monetize my content
  • linking back to my website to drive traffic
  • Offering quality content



Goals Achieved

  • I forged an affiliate relationship with the company of the product who were very receptive
  • My negotiations with the company proved successful
  • I made it to the finish line



I would really appreciate if some of you who are interested could watch it and ( Please excuse the cheesy self promotion) leave a comment, share and like if you choose. ;)

Yours in Rythmn
