How Watching the Funniest Videos on YouTube Can Strengthen Your Immune System


YouTube is the home of some of the worlds funniest videos. It has spawned a generation of people scouring the Internet for hours on end in a tireless search for humorous videos. Why do people spend so much of their time looking for and viewing these funny videos? Is it something in the water, or is it a much more psychological explanation that has to do with trends amongst the current generation? Laughter is a powerful force. Studies have actually shown that laughter can help to strengthen a person's immune system, giving credibility to that saying, "laughter is the best medicine." Laughter also releases endorphins in the brain, which makes people feel happy. So if you ever wondered why some people never get sick, well its because they get there daily dose of laughter every day.

So often, in today's society when one is stressed, lonely, bored, etc., they seek solace and comfort in videos that make them laugh. One of my funniest videos on YouTube is made by Liam Sullivan, a creative genius. His "Shoes" video, which features him in drag as the character "Kelly," has sparked extreme laughter in many people all across the nation, and it's no surprise. Sullivan has even made a DVD and CD based on his videos, and I have a feeling he's probably made a fair amount of money from his creativity. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have to check it out for yourself; just go to YouTube.com and type "Liam Sullivan Shoes" into the search box. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. Another thing that attracts people to funny Internet videos on sites like YouTube is the fact that most of the videos are so short. People in the Internet age have short attention spans, and a long video with a complicated storyline often doesn't produce as many laughs and watching several very short videos. I mean, sure, everybody likes a funny movie now and then. I just saw the movie "Sex Drive" in theaters and it had many funny parts. But in an age where movie tickets are ridiculously expensive, and it even costs a lot of money in gas to drive to the movie theater, people are turning to their computers for their entertainment.

Taking the time to watch a movie that can sometimes be up to 2 hours long can be costly in some ways as well, so taking a time out to watch a short video on the world wide web fits into many people's schedules a lot better. "Sex Drive" was funny, but it cost me almost $10 to see it, and it wasn't as actually FULL of laughs as I'd hoped. I've grown up in an Internet age where I expect to constantly be entertained by videos; if a video I'm watching online just doesn't do it for me, all I have to do is move the mouse, give a click, and switch to another video that will hopefully be more gratifying. If you spend $10 on a movie, however, you run the risk of spending your money on a crummy movie. YouTube has fundamentally changed the way that people view humorous videos, and I have a feeling that humorous videos won't ever quite be the same.

YouTube Marketing Can Generate an Unstoppable Flood of Traffic


As everyone trying to make a living online knows, the life blood of any business is traffic. And not just any traffic, but targeted traffic.

PPC (Pay Per Click) is one of the most popular methods of getting targeted traffic to a website. That is where the advertiser pays a certain agreed upon amount every time someone clicks on the link in their ad. You can pay anywhere from five cents to ten dollars per click or more with Pay Per Click advertising, depending on the keyword or keyword phrase you are bidding on.

A great tool for finding out what people are actually paying for certain keywords is keywordspy.com. It is free to use and when you type in a keyword in the search box and choose "keyword" then hit search, it will show several different related keyword phrases and the cost per click it would cost you to get in the top spot for that keyword. One of the highest priced keyword phrases I've found is "website hosting." I just looked today, Feb 16, 2010, and the phrase "small business web hosting" is going for $17.62 per click.

That is an incredible amount of money some advertisers are paying every time someone clicks on their ads for that keyword phrase, but if they weren't making a profit they would not be bidding such a high price, so it's obvious that they are making a profit.

With YouTube Marketing you can generate just as much traffic and more to any website you want as you can with PPC but the big difference is, YouTube Marketing is absolutely free. You can even have an ad uploaded with your video that looks identical to a Pay Per Click ad that people can click on.

Some YouTube videos get viewed millions of times per year. In fact there is a short little video that is a compilation of some AFV (Americas Funniest Videos) video clips that has been viewed over 19 million times in just three years. That's an average of over 17,000 views per day.

If you had just one video that got that many views and everyone that watched it saw an ad with a link to your website, do you think you would get some traffic? No doubt about it. And there is no limit to the amount of videos you can upload to YouTube.

YouTube Marketing is one of the easiest ways to get a ton of targeted traffic to any website, so if you aren't doing it you should start today.

Video Sharing Websites Challenging YouTube!


YouTube is without question the biggest video sharing website in the world. Much like "Google" has become a verb, "YouTube" has also become a verb in that people will say "YouTube it." However, while there is no doubt that YouTube has established itself as a fixture of the internet, people are increasingly turning to other video sharing sites to find quality videos.

YouTube has various rules on what can be uploaded to its site. Pornography, racist videos, excessive violence, excessively crude videos, etc. are prohibited by YouTube's terms of use. However, as long as you play by their rules, you can upload anything. This is where the problem begins. There is no direct quality control.

For example, a person may search YouTube for funny bicycle accidents. They will get thousands of results. However, one person's definition of funny bicycle accidents may not be shared by others. It is common to get videos titled, "Funniest bicycle accident ever." A user will click on it and get a video of a small child bumping into something. This may be the funniest video to their parents, but not to anyone else.

In YouTube's defense, the number of views can alert a viewer to the particular merits of a video. A large number of views will generally indicate that the video is of interest. However, this is not always accurate.

Over the last two to three years, an increasingly number of other video sharing sites have come into existence. Many of these sites are extremely popular. What these sites do, is either target a specific area, or screen their videos being placed on their websites.

These video sharing sites rely on viewers to submit quality videos. However, they are not directly placed on their website--unlike YouTube. Each of these websites employs screeners that will determine what is used. The viewer is more likely to get a better product.

As a result of this, these websites are attracting millions of page views per month. Since these websites generally don't host their own videos, many use YouTube to host their videos and embed them on their own sites, it is doubtful that YouTube will be challenged in the near future. However, viewers are increasingly being given more choices.

Competition is always a good thing for the consumer.

YouTube Blows Out 7 Candles


For the past few days, YouTube has been celebrating 7 years of bombarding the world with amazing - and not so amazing - videos. The video-sharing website created in 2005 by three former employees of PayPal has been growing ever since it was produced. Bet the people at PayPal are not happy to realize this precious website didn't stay in their premises.

YouTube changed the way we communicate and more importantly it allowed people to showcase their talent in an easy, user-friendly, and extremely interactive way, which offers unique possibilities to people all over the world. Needless to say, among these talented people, some stand out for the wrong reasons, but that's what makes YouTube so funny and still whimsical after almost a decade.

Along the way, the Google-owned website has reached important milestones which are the clear manifestation of its power and magnitude. To celebrate the seven year milestone, the video-sharing site announced that users now upload about 72 hours of video each minute, which means the amount of content fed into the service per minute has almost doubled in only one year. Moreover, YouTube said something like 4 billion videos are viewed every day on their site, which makes roughly over 3 billion hours of video watched each month by 800 million unique users. Pretty mind-blowing numbers right?

Some may say Facebook attracts more attention and traffic, however, YouTube's patterns clearly show the website is growing. Besides, 500 years of YouTube video are watched every day on Facebook, so they both boost each other, making the YouTube/Facebook combination one of the best couples that ever lived.

"Like many 7-year-olds around the world, we're growing up so fast," announced YouTube on its birthday, and indeed it is. The people at YouTube wants us to know that the three days worth of content people upload each minute is, according to them, equivalent to "61 Royal Wedding Ceremonies, 841 Bad Romances and 1,194 Nyan Cats". That's too many Pop Tart Cats.

To illustrate these jaw-dropping numbers, Google's YouTube also released a video broadcasting its history and most known episodes, such as the "Charlie bit my finger" kid and the infamous KONI. This timeline documents iconic moments and some of the funniest YouTube videos that will really go down in history. Try to see it without shedding a tear or two or even letting out a smile.

Founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen e Jawed Karim after an alleged dinner party and with its first headquarters above a pizzeria and Japanese restaurant, it's hard to believe YouTube has come such a long way. The social impact is unprecedented and YouTube videos have led to a lot of discussions in the mainstream media. Plus, the site gave a new meaning to the word "viral".

For everything you have accomplished, Happy Birthday YouTube team and thank you for all the talented people you shed light on but please try to keep the bad singers in the darkness.

Viral Video Marketing the Super Easy Way


Viral marketing is a goal for virtually all Internet marketing experts. Finding or creating the next big viral marketing video can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Your goal should not be trying to come up with the next YouTube sensation. Think smaller -- and you can succeed!

1) Consider having a YouTube contest!

A YouTube Contest will enable you to harness the collective creativity of the contestants. If you offer a great prize and promote your contest well, then you should get a good number of entries.

The contest should be set up so that contestants submit their entries to your website (make sure they do NOT post them on YouTube). This will enable you to check the quality and appropriateness of an entry before it appears on YouTube.

The contest can be the creation of a 30-second commercial for your company or a product demonstration. Establish rules to protect your copyrights and brands and make sure it is clear that you own all rights to any videos submitted.

After reviewing all the entries choose the finalists (try for at least 10 finalists) and post the videos on your YouTube channel.

2) The Voting Equals Viral Marketing

Each finalist video will be on your YouTube channel, plus you should create a separate blog entry on your blog for each video. Voting is based on the number of views multiplied by the rating of the video on YouTube plus the number of social bookmarking votes on the blog (from Digg, StumbleUpon, etc).

Basically you are setting up a voting system that will prompt the contestants to market their entry for you. They will send out the video link and ask that their contacts keep forwarding it off to their contact lists and so forth. This is creating 10 viral marketing campaigns or more depending on how many finalists you have.

Keep the voting period to about 60 days before announcing the winner.

3) The Results

The results need to be tabulated carefully. Once you have tabulated the votes you should announce the winner or winners and the prize they received.

A YouTube contest is an easy way to create multiple viral marketing opportunities based on the creativity of your contestants. Make sure you market the contest well to maximize the number of entries and the quality of them. This is a great system for Internet marketing you can consider.

4) The Web's Funniest Videos

Funny videos are something YouTube surfers love. They are more than happy to send out links to YOUR videos that they find funny. If you have or can have a funny video made that is appropriate for your business, it is a great way to spread the word virally about your company while also helping people feel more comfortable with you and your business.

Consumers like to relate to the people they are doing business with. Make someone laugh and there is a near instant connection and rapport.

5) Some Thing are Just not Funny

No matter how funny you think some things are, there are some topics that should be off limits, even in self-deprecating humor. These topics include: age, disability, gender, race, religion and sexual orientation. It is also not advisable to make jokes about your competition as they may be seen as being petty.

Offensive humor can trigger significant backlash online so be extra careful with the humor you choose to use on your website. If you have any doubts then err on the side of precaution and do not use that particular piece of humor.

6) Humor in Viral Video Marketing

The bottom line is that humor in a video is an effective viral marketing strategy. You do not have to be a comedian or comedienne to add humor to your viral video. If you are not naturally funny you can hire a writer or ask a friend for help. Do not try to be slapstick funny and avoid inappropriate humor.

The proper use of humor in a video can make it go viral across the Internet, as well as increase consumer confidence as your viewers (who may visit your website) are put at ease and feel a connection with you after sharing a good laugh.

President Bush Videos - Great Entertainment For All Parties


Many different video web sites are popping up all over the internet, especially after the success of YouTube.com. Why didn't I think of the concept of putting up a web site where people can post their own videos? This type of web site is such an easy idea, but many people overlooked the popularity that such a web site could bring. However now that Google bought YouTube.com for 1.65 billion dollars in stocks, everyone is trying their hand at cashing in on this huge market. Most of these web sites are trying to cash in by posting videos that are funny, or spoofs on everyday activities. I think some of the funniest videos on the internet today are videos about President Bush. These videos range from actual film footage, to footage that has been modified, to spoofs that poke fun at President Bush.

The actual film footage of President Bush is hilarious, because we all know that he is not one of the best public speakers around. He is always saying the wrong thing, or getting his words twisted in a way that he did not intend. One of my favorite videos of this type of footage is when President Bush says something like, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, I never get fooled again. I have also seen other footage of President Bush that was modified in a way to make him seem even funnier than he already was. When I think of these types of videos one comes to mind first, the video that slows down President Bush's speech so that it sounds like he is drunk. This video is hilarious and has made many appearances on different late night talk shows. The final types of video are spoofs that poke fun at President Bush. An example of this type of video I have seen is one that has a look-alike comedian standing on stage doing his own rendition of President Bush's State of the Union Address. This is probably my favorite video, because the comedian is making up new words, forgetting what he was talking about, and other common things that President Bush has been known to do. If you have a little free time and you want to get a good laugh, then just search for President Bush videos online and you will have a wonderful time.

Funny Videos Kids Love and How To Make Them


Making videos can be lots of fun and is something that everyone can enjoy. The hardest part of making a video is having the right equipment. Well you are in luck because all you really need is a camcorder to record your onscreen antics. The primary thing you must remember is that any video recording device will do. There is no need to go out and purchase an expensive camcorder. You can use your cellphone or dust off Mom or Dads old camcorder from the attic and you are in business. The other must have item is an IMAGINATION! That's right you can come up with a new idea or borrow an idea and make it your own. It may seem like a hard thing to do but many kids are making videos and making money all while having good clean fun here are some things to consider and the most important factor:

Video Recording Device

This device can be a cellphone with video recording capabilities. You can also use an old camcorder or a flip camera. Many digital cameras have video recorders built-in and are a great tool you can use to get started. You can also borrow a video recorder and give it back when you are done.

Plot

The great thing about making these videos is that you can just hit record on the camera and go. Some of the funniest videos I have seen are made on the fly just letting the video capture video and then something funny happens. The other way to make a video takes more time but really takes the fun to a whole other level. Ideas for these types of videos are everywhere. Many times you can just spoof an existing movie, artist or famous movie character and add your own twist and create a funny video. Some of the best ways to get started making theses videos is by picking your favorite song and dancing to it. The best thing is that you and your friends can participate.

Props

Props in a video is a great way to spice up the short clip. You can use everyday household items. I find that dressing up in my parents clothes is so much fun. Wigs are a great way to create characters and put a smile on peoples faces. You can go to a costume store or your neighborhood pharmacy to find inexpensive props to add to your video. I find that wearing silly glasses with colored lenses are great. I also recommend putting on your Halloween costume or mask to make your video more realistic.

Actors

This is where you can really shine. You can become "famous" by starring in your own homemade video. You can be the main character in your video. I find that it can also be fun to include your friends and family to act in the video. Now I know that some of us would rather be behind the scenes and that is perfectly fine. I have made multiple videos where I was behind the scenes putting the whole show together and I have someone else in the actual video. I prefer to be behind the scenes controlling the way the final product comes out.

Showcase

Now that you have recorded your video it's time to show it off. This is the best part when all your hard work comes to life and you get to let others see. Some kids only make videos for their family and friends. You can just plug your camcorder to the TV. I like making videos and posting them on my website. Also if you don't have a website you can just post the video on one of the many video sites out there like YouTube. You never know your video can go viral and you really can become internet famous and the best part is you had fun doing it. So what are you waiting for? Go out there and have fun. Create videos and use the tricks and tips I have given you here to put smiles on peoples faces especially yours!
