No, Video + Blog ≠ Vlog

Although a video blog is often referred to as a vlog, my video blog is literally a blog about my videos.

Competitive Nature Promotes Progress!

If you ever get to know me, you will find that I am rather competitive.  Accordingly, I like to make sure that I do things well (and hopefully better than many).  I challenged a friend to a competition of followers.  

She is a blogger.  I am (primarily) a YouTuber.  As of 8:15 P.M. on February 4, 2011(!), she has 102 followers on Blogger.  As of 8:15 P.M. on February 4, 2011, I have 9 subscribers on YouTube.  She told me that it is easier to get followers on Blogger than it is to get subscribers on YouTube.  Of course, I wanted to prove her wrong.  

I told her that I would have more subscribers than she has followers by the END OF JULY 2011.  She does NOT believe that i can do it.  Hmph, what can I say?  IT'S ON... LIKE A SCONE!

I'm going to do this fairly and square(ly?).  I'm not going to say anything bad about her blog (especially because I think it looks pretty spiffy and attractive for female bloggers), AND I am going to post a link to her blog on my blog.  http://fabulousfinds4.blogspot.com/  If you are a female, I definitely recommend exploring her blog.  

Good luck to emmy d
Sincerely,
KD

Inspired by a Quote? New Goal

Although I originally said that getting subscribers was not one of my goals.  Well, it wasn't.  However, upon reconsideration and with the passing of time, I realized that what is the point of taking the trouble to maintain a YouTube channel, blog, Twitter, and Facebook page for fans if there aren't any fans?  Accordingly, I figured that  I should do something about this.

Additionally, I found a quote yesterday.  (I don't know who said it.)
Winners are patient; they know that a goal is only as worthy as the EFFORT required to achieve it.
I found this and shared it with a couple of friends.  I was trying to apply to what I thought was a very appropriate situation.  Now, I want to apply to my personal situation in making videos.  My goal?  I want to have 100,000 subscribers by the end of 2013.  And, I believe that the world WILL NOT literally end in 2012 so I am setting my deadline at the end of 2013.  haha

This does not mean that I am going to spam people everywhere I can.  I hate the "sub 4 sub" deal that so many YouTubers claim that they offer.  I don't believe in this idiotic deal because I think that my subscribers should actually like my videos.  You don't like my videos - fine - don't subscribe.  If someone likes my video, he/she should subscribe.  I want to reach 100,000 the right way, not through sub for sub or whatever other crap there is out there.

Wish me luck and I hope you all make worthy goals.  I know my goal will take a tremendous amount of effort to achieve.  Will yours?  Respond in a comment if you want to!
