A YouTube Experiment

In my last post I mentioned I published a new video on YouTube about the Top 5 Steepest Ski Areas in North America. Today I published a follow-up video about the Top 5 Powder Ski Areas in North America. My experiment is to see if publishing content more closely spaced together leads to a wider audience. So far I have to say it has been somewhat of a disappointment. 

I published my "Steep" video and then broadcast it on LinkedIn and here on my blog. There are not a lot of regular readers to the blog and so I know it doesn't generate too much traffic. I do have over 500 contacts on LinkedIn and so I did get a lot of people watching the video. Some of those contacts shared the video with others and I managed to pick up about a dozen new subscribers. My hope is that those subscribers will continue to remain engaged and share the channel with others.

I published my "Powder" video a few hours ago and have not seen any traffic other than my own viewing to make sure it uploaded correctly. Perhaps I am not giving it enough time and people need to get notified that I put up the new video. I will give it a few days and then do some promoting and see if that helps. I don't want to rely on my LinkedIn network though and will have to come up with some creative ways to spread the news. If anyone has any ideas. Please feel free to send me a comment.
