Rupert, I stopped worrying about viewing figures when I realised that the video I made of the world naked bike ride got 2x, 3x the viewers all my other videos did. Is that one in any way better, or are people just trying to get a look at the winkys of Brighton? I should probably post that on YouTube and get figures in the thousands.
I've got more comments about other videos, like the response I did to you. I still have those "oh my god where am I going with this" moments though. I get a respectable (ok quite low) two figure audience a day, higher if I have just made a video, higher still if it was featured somewhere. I wonder sometimes if I should pimp myself out a little more, looking at what happens when I get featured somewhere, then I think that vlogging is something I do to not have lots of pressure on me (then obviously, a couple of minutes later I think, should I have more viewers?). I think reading what Verdi said was really interesting. He has way more viewers than me, but not an insane number. I read something that someone said about 'zines once, which was that if you read a 'zine that you like, you can contact that person and become friends with them instead of them being on another planet as far as communication is concerned. It's the old famous for fifteen people maxim again. That said, I'm off to drum up some facebook friends. Not really. Beth xxx
