Robin Schmidt Talks About Gaming YouTube View Count
PCN friend and guest contributor Robin Schmidt has been cheating on us with a series of interesting articles for NoFilmSchool – I kiid, I kiid. The latest one is about how to use ranking services to game your viewership numbers to make your video relevant.
One of the best ways (supposedly) to really drive traffic through your YouTube channel is for one of your videos to make it onto the ‘most watched’ list, the front page of YouTube itself. Your video needs to be seriously trending to do this, lots of people watching it in a very short space of time. You tend to find this happening after TV shows where some enterprising soul has ripped a particular clip and posted it, with all those wishing to show their friends what they missed sending it on. This is not going to happen to your lovingly created clip. But that’s not to say that it can’t.
…….There are quite a few sites which will sell you YouTube views. What!??? Yes, you can buy them. Not only that, you can specify at what speed you get them, you can buy subscribers, you can buy channel views, comments, likes, friends, the whole works. It’s not particularly expensive either. . . . If that shocks you then it really shouldn’t. YouTube is a game, and like all games, it’s quite possible to cheat.If a video has pretty small numbers, chances are they’re completely real. If they’re remarkably high, they might have been boosted by services like those listed above.
Robin should know a few things about viral videos. He shot a sexy football soccer video that went viral and his latest comedy project Super Massive Raver is going like gangbusters. Be sure to read the rest of the article on NoFilmSchool and check out some of Robin’s clips below.
