How to use YouTube

[debcoart]

I finally completed my guides on making videos and using YouTube for anyone who is interested: http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-use-Youtube-Part-1_W0QQugidZ10000000002173529 http://reviews.ebay.com/How-to-use-YouTube-Part-2_W0QQugidZ10000000002178097 I had to break it down into 2 parts because I ran out of room. I had trouble downloading photos, couldn't use links, got error messages telling me not to use any html...until I thought my hair was going to fall out. It was a challenge and I plan to simplify it some day. But if you can use this info and understand this process...then I have accomplished what I set out to do. Good luck!

That's super Deb. Thank you for being so helpful on this.

Thanks, J!!! I have a very strong desire to get bunches and bunches of artists videoing and putting them on YouTube for the world to see! We can create a whole network of videoing artists, add some music, party down and get piles of people looking at our artwork... Come on and join the fun! :):):)

Tap, tap, tap....anyone ready yet???

This is like trying to herd a bunch of cats.........

*grin* Sorry, I've just been tooooooo busy, and likely to be for some weeks. I have a 40 hour course to attend next 2 weekends, for a start. :) Thanks Deb. I'll try to do something soon (but may be later).

J...get real, are you kidding? You have a bazillion things going on all the time....I don't know how you keep track of it already. For others: This was the very first video that I downloaded into YouTube 2 months ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPGi4HqTUJk The sound is terrible, the lighting is wrong, and I had to reshoot the video 32 times before I finally got one that was decent enough to use at all. I have already had 440 views on this video in that 2 month time period. So don't think you have to be a PRO in order to do this, because you most assuredly do NOT.

Thanks Deb. Maybe it's just getting to the busy time of year for many?

[debcoart]

J...absolutely. I don't know how some folks are even keeping up with everything at this point in time what with families, husbands, shopping, planning...how do people paint and market, too???

[artistjillian]

Absolutely.

I figure that if I continue posting info in here, once the holiday are over people will have more free time, maybe? But they might be doing the tax filing routine then...oh well...it took me a year to get myself to a point of recording vids. This was a funky little video that I put in YouTube for a customer that had been emailing me questions. I just emailed her the link and she could see the art in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3kG9LGR7Bo I hadn't yet switched over to my Nikon camera for sound and video recording, so again the quality is funky. But I've learned and improved!

Sounds good to me Deb. 🙂

This is a video that I made today to promote ACEOs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip2-tG3hZH4 If you watch this video, please rate it when you are finished. The rating stars are just under the video screen and when you pass your cursor over them, the stars will turn red. Click on one of them from 1-5. The more ratings that I receive on this video, the more people that will view it, and thus more people will know about ACEOs! :):):)

[artistjillian]

OK. Deb, this is great promo stuff. Thank you!

[debcoart]

Thanks for the thanks, J!
