YouTube Creators

Youtube is the growing global network similar to Sky but on demand version. I love the platform. To me its the digital version of Terrestrial TV. For a whole range of artists and visual creators Youtube allows, it amazing. It’s not perfect, but nothing is.

It would be interesting if Youtube applied this music chart system approach to the platform?

Say if you have 10 million people watching youtube in a space of three hours on 20 channels. The subscribe button acts as the portal for channels entering the chart. All new likes act as the climbing up and down numbers. The view count acts as a growth scale to see who gets noticed by sponsors ( As they are doing now I think?). Normally how Youtube reacts this way is by releasing regular content mainly on a weekly basis. You have to be polite with certain words depending in the content you are releasing ( What I learned from channel Popcorned Plannet) but depends whats going on in the world.  YouTube being a global network, it does get effected.


What I have discovered


A lot of creators start their channels as a hobbies. From what I have experienced in searching for content and having my own music style channel is people finding your channel for the first-time is mostly by accident.  This should be improved. I do get recommend older channels even though I go to them often anyway unless I forget the name. If you know a name but not quiet sure, Youtube search is good for that.

In my opinion this is a good way to network and get a long with other creators.


For example: 


I met a Youtuber Alex Archbald aka Curiosity Inc on vacation in Edmonton, Canada. I had planned to meet him but I was surprised at the public reaction. This wasn’t planned as a collaboration, I just wanted to meet him in person. Within the first three weeks the video I had created and uploaded had over 5,000 views. 

I ended up on this video which is the part we are stood outside being introduced. This was after the tour of the then new shop.

I got recognised in the comments section of this video. My debut on anyones channel. 

I posted my video on his fanbase Facebook group the day after I released it. From this I learned that even meeting up with businessman who just happens to be known to many people on Youtube was an experience.

The History of Record Shops

Image
Since I have been helping to promote local record shops Strummer Room Records and new Mac’s Music Store here in Banbury  (One way of being involved), It occurred to me that not much attention historically is being paid towards record shops.  As a former owner of record shop Demand  Records ( still dabble with online vinyl album sales)(I miss it like crazy), I thought I would focus on this.  I realised recently that my shop is a part of. Over the decades there have been independent and chain stores. Depends where you live. The starting point is Banbury, who knows where this may lead?  I have decided to make this journey broader.  I thought to myself I am bound to get asked at some point. At the moment this is a few blogs and the start of an ongoing series on Youtube. This may lead to a documentary at some point. But not getting too far ahead of myself.                                                      Picture of Strummer Room Recorfs Strummer Room Records ( 4 years walk in and online

Finally, i can now play vinyl records again on radio

Before the headlines, an update.... Co Presenter The radio variety show has always been able to evolve or move in various directions. Reason for the difficult task of finding a good name for the show In April 2015, i found a co presenters, Educational publisher and graphic designer, Darren Coles. We began messing about on radio, and wanted to come up with a duo name. For some reason, animals come into conversation and we ended up with, Dog and Crow. I am Dog and Darren is Crow. Partly the reason, for this is because, Darren, can do a wicked, Crow sound and i can do a Dog one Show HQ has moved again A place i have been waiting for over a year finally landed. My father knew of a couple who were to rent a house. I was in the position to move in, but heard nothing for long time. Then the chess pieces fell into place, hired a van to move the gear and we landed into new HQ, beginnig of November 2015 Improvements Darren has a technical mind. He has gear, has been in bands and can se

The travel guide of Fun For Louis, aka Louis Cole

Back in the day, when TV and traveling around the world to different places was kind of everywhere, it was really entertaining, This has all but gone from the main British channels. One TV series that stood out was " The Rough Guide" taking you to the non tourist area's, well places where they allowed TV cameras That was the 1990s, now fast forward to 2014/2015 Youtube is now the place for many people to watch, essentially, TV. At the start, Youtube is not what it is now. However, more people are vlogging ( Short for video blog), comedy and documentaries. I am not a fan of collecting loads of people on Youtube and subscribing, as there is a lot of channels with the same stuff. You have, revewers, technology and gaming, which does get tedious after a while. It takes something good to grab my attention and one such person, from Surrey, England. is Louis Cole Although his, Youtube, life didn't start out daily vlogging or travelling, it is now the content he
