"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." By: Benjamin Franklin: 18th-century statesman, printer, scientist, and writer
A little over a couple of months ago the NFL football team the New York Giants defeated the heavily favored Dallas Cowboys in the NFC playoffs. You can see highlights of this game on the video sharing website, YouTube. Of course we all know the Giants went on to win the Superbowl, but we can save that conversation for another time. YouTube probably has that video also.
Because of this game there was a really funny video that popped up on YouTube. Someone took the video of the scene where Hitler breaks down from the movie “Hitler’s Final Days”. In that video which is spoken all in German, whoever created this video put English subtitles acting as if that was what Hitler was really saying.
This YouTube video was absolutely hilarious. You can check out the video on YouTube by searching “Hitler’s Last Days” and then look for the one that mentions the Giants, Cowboys or the NFL.
In any event because that YouTube video was so well done its popularity grew like wildfire. It made a brief appearance on a national sports television station.
The YouTube video sharing experience has become a phenomenon. A person can become a small movie creator or even a star themselves. Some movies today even cater to the YouTube generation by making movies where the entire picture seems like it is being seen through the eyes of a video camera.
Regardless of whether you are creating a video on YouTube for personal reasons or business purposes, you need to get the word out. If your video is good it will cover the globe in no time flat. If it stinks then chances are no one will want to watch it.
The making of a popular video begins before you even tell everyone about it. It comes with the preparation that goes into it. In our real life example above, the creators of this particular video more than likely sat down and created the script of sub titles, tweaked them and kept making changes until it was absolutely perfect.
Here’s the best part of the video. It wasn’t even their video. They took a small two to three minute clip of a movie and made some changes. This shows you do not even need to film your own video.
Regardless of which direction you take, you need to ask yourself these questions. Why are you making this video? Who is it intended for? How are you going to make or obtain a video that you need?
If you can answer these questions thoroughly and honestly then you can begin to create the next million user download.
