YouTube Glass Ceiling

General

There’s a reason for calling this post ‘YouTube Glass Ceiling’, and that’s because it’s my opinion that a YouTube Glass Ceiling really exists. Normally when they talk about a glass ceiling, they’re referring to women. The YouTube glass ceiling, however, is a barrier affecting men.

You may or may not recall one of my previous posts about YouTube’s latest changes. One of those goal posts was to get 4,000 hours of views per year. For the small YouTuber that is a huge task to achieve. Especially if you’re a bloke

What Is The YouTube Glass Ceiling

This particular YouTube glass ceiling exists because women have an unfair physical advantage when it comes to getting views. I just published a video called Getting Views On YouTube which I feel demonstrates this unfair advantage. You can see the video below.

In the video, I refer to something called evergreen content. Basically, this is content that is always relevant. This type of material never grows old and therefore will still get visitors from search engines. I also mentioned in that video that ‘How To Videos’ provide the perfect evergreen content.

If you watch the video above you’ll notice exactly how these sexy women have an unfair advantage over men. Especially considering the ‘how to’ content of the three example videos portrayed in my video.

The first video is how to wash dishes. Even though this video is titled washing dishes, the woman in it actually drying them. This video has 3.5 million views in only one month!
The second video is how to dry dishes. After being online for only one week, this video has a phenomenal 859,000 views!
The third video is how to clean a room. I tell you, I would love to have just one video that gets 1.8 million views in only a month.

What is really amazing about some of these videos is that YouTube has agreed to monetise them. Weird considering they knocked back some of my videos because the content identified as not suitable for most advertisers. Seems to me that YouTube has double standards. What do you think?

Laughingbird The Creator 7 A Review

Laughingbirds Graphic Creation Software

This post is about Laughingbird’s The Creator 7 graphics software. As a blogger and businessman I’ve always stipulated the importance of investing more than just time in your venture, whether its a blog or an online business. That’s why I invested in Flexsqueeze, a professional theme. That’s also why I purchased, what I believe to be, the best graphics software.

I was tired of always searching the web for images and graphics for my blog posts. I knew the importance of images for SEO, but I didn’t want to fall into the copyright infringement trap. I also wanted my posts to be original with original images and not just the standard stock photos that everyone uses.

That’s when I decided to purchase the Laughingbird Creator 7 graphics software. It was the best ever investment in my online business. Not only do I now have original images at my fingertips, but The Creator 7 has also opened up my creativity.

The best thing about the Creator 7 is not just it’s ease of use, its the price. Laughingbird’s graphics packages allow you to pick whatever package is suited to your needs. No matter what package you choose, The Creator 7 software is bundled with it.

Recently I purchased the Attention Getters Design Package. Not only is it full of attention-getting templates it also has 7 folders of attention-getting elements. Some of which you can see in the image above.

Although years ago, 2014, I produced a video on how to make a reflection of an image using the Logo Creator, which is what it was called then, I’ve never reviewed the Creator 7. I resolved that issue today. You can see my video Of The Creator 7 Below. All the images in that video were created with the Creator 7.

Laughingbird’s Creator 7 Graphics Packages

The Graphics Creator7 Bundle: This package is the way to start your graphics design career. For a low price of only $37, you get four modules. The first module consists of Logo Templates. The Second module is full of business cards templates. The third module is a Character Mascot Creation Module. You’re going to love this one. The final module comes complete with 100 royalty free people images and 50 additional templates!

The Mockup Creator: You’ll notice in the video that I play around a bit with my latest purchase, the Mockup Creator. I love this package. I can see so much potential for it. I’ve been using it for my AFL Footy Tips posts.

The Comic Elements Pak: This would have to be the next Laughingbird purchase I’m looking at. I find that funny images are fantastic for adding a unique element to my creations.

The Mascots2Go Mega Collection: If this is anything like my Big Box Of Mascot that I purchased a few years back it will be full of cartoon images, both animals and people related. It has over 300 unique hand-drawn characters that are ideal for any marketing campaign.

The Design Elements Pak: is another must with over 650 high-quality design elements, including backgrounds, buttons, banners, speech bubbles and so much more.

Clicking any of the above links will show you in detail exactly what you’re getting. The good thing is you don’t need to get it all at once. You can add to your graphic design portfolio whenever you want.

Here’s the link to that post on creating a reflecion of an image.

Marketing Your YouTube Channel

SEO

Marketing Your YouTube Channel A lot of YouTubers are struggling out there because of YouTube’s new rules. I noticed ever since YouTube revealed their new rule everybody was going the sub for sub route. I have to admit, at the time I thought it was a good idea too. Not anymore though, which is why I produced my YouTube Subscribers Sub For Sub Idea? video. Don’t worry, I’m getting to the marketing your YouTube channel bit shortly.

So, in that video, I explain why I thought the sub for sub idea sucked. I also stipulated how the most important issue to focus on is the 4,000 hours. I mention SEO, keyword research amongst other things marketing. Personally, I think marketing YouTube channel is going to be really difficult. A lot more difficult than promoting your blog post. The reason I’m saying this is because I believe YouTube favours their more prominent partners showing their video before newbie videos. Makes perfect sense considering YouTube stands to make money from their videos.

As bloggers, we understand the importance of SEO and keywords and such. Commenting on other blogs is probably the easiest way to promote our blogs via the link juice. If those blogs use Commentluv, you even have the added advantage of promoting your keywords.

Using Blog Commenting For Marketing Your YouTube Channel

So, here is what I’m getting at, that YouTubers comment on blogs but instead of using their blogs URL they use the one to their YouTube channel or even a particular video.

So, here is my question to you. As a blogger, are you willing to accept a YouTube video URL in the comment form as long as they leave quality comments? See this post in regards to what I regard as quality comments.

As to this blog, I’m more than happy for YouTubers using my blogs to market their YouTube Channel. As long as their channel doesn’t fail standard criteria like not being porn or hate-related etc.
