PDFPrintE-mail

Before we begin, first we need to analyze the mega blockbuster YouTube videos of 2010 to get a real line on what the general public wants to see.  NOTE: This list, purposely, does not include music videos produced by music labels.  The real list is basically just music videos of every Justin Bieber song, so you realize why we ignore that list for now.

Im summary, we have several parody videos, some videos featuring the after effects of drugs, a few for girls under the age of 13, and one video of extreme driving talent.

What Does it All Mean?

Now the tough part, making sense of it all.  And, how are we going to make our own video to rival these? Can it be done?

Absolutely, it can be done, and the answer is:

Cute Animals or Children

No one can resist the pure marketing power of a cute animal, or child.  Fortune 100 companies, take heed, social media marketing is going to enter into a new age of wonder.

All you need to do to make your own video is a Flip Camera, an animal / child, an hour or so of dedicated filming, and a market focus group (your friends who have jobs that allow them to be on Facebook all day).  In addition, to really make your video take off, try to start an argument in the Comments section of your video about something that is theoretical or subjective.  As long as it will be an argument that never ends, and nurtures constant growth.  For example, just say "New York has terrible Pizza", or "I think that gravity is something that the government made up to push a liberal agenda, and Clam Chowder doesn't taste good in a bread bowl.."

Now just sit back and collect your money. Well, you won't actually get paid until you make t-shirts or keychains, but still...
