My Youtube Channel

Okay, so you guys have probably noticed that I don't post here any more...

I know I've posted a million "I just don't feel up to blogging anymore" and "I'm back!!!" posts.

But for real, blogging takes a lot more effort than most people would think, trying to come up with topics and then try to say what you want to say in a well spoken way, its a lot of effort.

Which is why I've been doing youtube videos. I can record in 5-10 minutes and if I don't feel like editing then that's as long as it takes, I can upload and leave.

Like I've said before, I might post here occasionally and I'm still accepting guest posts, I still get a fair amount of hits.

Here are some of my most recent videos:

My First Attempts at Blogging

Hey!

I'm going to talk about my first attempts at blogging. I had two "first" attempts, One was called "The Truth About Why You Suck", where I planned on complaining about the human race (this is where some of my post about society came from), I never aactually posted anything, but if you feel like looking at a blank blog, you find it here. The second one was called "For The Love of Books" and it was supposed to be a companion to my youtube channel (which I still sometimes/kinda post videos on), which, if you haven't guessed, is called "ForTheLoveOfBooks", and you should go check that out (shameless self promotion? Check.).

I guess the point of this is that in the past I didn't really stick with anything, I plan on using We Throw Rocks At Cars to change that, if i don't post for a couple of days, email me. Unless I posted previously that I wouldn't be able to (although, if I know in advance that I'm not going to be able to post, I'll probably pre-write some).

My Tips for Blogging

Hey!

I know a lot of people struggle with getting views, followers, and topics for their blogs, this is a list of things I did to get my blog known (even though its just a little bit known, it's still more than I had in the beggining)

-Have a memorable/interesting blog name.
     -I'm not saying that you should pick the craziest blog name ever, but you do need something that is going to catch peoples eye.
-Blog about stuff that you know and interests you.
     -You could be writing the best, most grammatically correct things in the world, but if there's no knowledge or interest behind it, you're going to flop.
-Promote, promote, promote!
     -Tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell random people on the street. Sign up for blog directories. Tweet about it, Facebook about it. Email everybody you went to highschool with. Blogger's "Next Blog" feature can only get you so far. I use Technorati and Blogged to help get views and followers.
-Try to stay current
     If you're talking about something that happened twenty years ago, people are going to be asking "who cares" and X-ing out of the window.
-Network
     Networking online for your blog is just as important as networking for a job. Comment on similar blogs, then after your signature link your blog. Guesty write, make friends.
