You know me.

Well, most of those who read this do. Supposedly.

There is an interesting thing that happens when you start video taping parts of your life. It makes you a bit crazy. You start breaking down parts of your life into pieces.

Before drop.

After drop.

How many people watched. Where did they come from? How long did they watch the video? How many are subscribers, as opposed to non-subscribers. On a side note…on YouTube there are certain levels of views and subscribers you need before you can monetize. The first main hurdle is to hit 1000 followers. On my page I am finding that my subscribers are viewing my videos less frequently than non-subscribers.

To my family, and friends who have subscribed just because you love me…or because I threatened you….you really need to step it up.

This level of scrutiny has never been a part of my every day life. Up until now. I know when people view my videos. I know when they do not. I have a years a worth of data at my fingertips.

And I don’t know how I feel about that. On the one hand…having all of that information makes my life easy. Pay attention to when people are enjoying my content, and drop new vids right before they tune in. Yippee skippy. On the other hand…I hate formulas.

When I started this whole conglomeration of words,videos and such I knew right from the start that I wouldn’t do any of this the way that it “should” be done. That I would do the research of keywords, hashtags, and such. I would pretty much use none of it. Because that is the way I have lived my life up to this point. Find your boundaries, and then mess with them a bit.

What does all of this really mean? What is the benefit to you?

First off, I am a borderline creeper. As I said, I know when people view, and I know when they don’t. As my video content grows I will have access to where consumers come from. I will know if they are male or female. And that it is creepy to me. Does it make me silly to want to know, but really not want to know?

What does make me sound silly is when I start talking about organic growth.

What the frick do I know about organic growth? Who the heck do I think I am? Most days I have to look at my drivers license just to get an idea of who I am suppose to be…..

So.

All I ask is you keep your arms, and legs in the car at all times.
