Experts' Experts: YouTube stars offer advice to how to get big
Jennifer Preston's article in yesterday's New York Times offered the following tips to YouTube star wannabes:
• Send emails to at least a dozen key bloggers and ask them to post a link
• Don't forget: there is key light, front light, flood light
• Never, ever put the word sex in a title or tag
• Don't upload videos on Friday afternoons
• Surprise your audience
I'm not sure how many of these pointers Humphrey paid attention to when he uploaded his first video (top) in 2006.
Currently more than 68,000 views – with a bullet.
FunFact: Humphrey's video brings in about 10 cents every month from advertising.
Plenty of upside there, what?
The article also points out the value of having your own channel — hey, I am so there, and have been for years.
You could look it up.

Here's a title: "Dark Predictable Friday Afternoon SEXhibition." The content could be problematic, though.
