Becoming official
I was looking for ways to increase my daily viewing figures on Youtube, when I came across a tool that is in Beta stage at the moment. They call it “Annotations”.
It allows you to add linking text or hotspots to your videos. I know from experience that when I go to view videos on Youtube, I pay little attention to what else is on the page. As a maker of videos myself, that is not very encouraging. With this little toy, I can put a link on my video, and there’s a good chance that it’s going to be noticed.
So I went through most of my videos and added annotations that link back to my channel. It took me a long time. It’s early days, but I’ve already noticed a jump in traffic. Especially in my channel views. So it seems to be working.
Here’s a link to my Youtube channel:
So here are my latest Youtube figures, followed by some news 
I now have a total of 662 Subscribers.
My channel views have jumped up to 14,509.
The total video views are now at 216,799. It’s looking like the quarter of a million figure will be passed before the end of July.
Now for some news. I’m finally releasing an album!
It’s going out on digital release only to start with. If things go well then It will also be released on CD.
The album will contain some songs I’ve uploaded to Youtube, and a good number of new songs that haven’t seen the light of day yet. I’m feeling quite excited by it all. Just the fact that it’s being released. I’m going to be updating my blog with the album progress, as I lead up to the release date. Giving info on selected tracks etc
