Effective Marketing with YouTube Videos
The Overlooked Power of YouTube
In addition to finding the ideal keywords, meta tags and descriptions for my site, I am continually searching YouTube videos regarding the most recent developments for optimizing websites. Ironically, the YouTube video I discovered recently discusses the optimization of YouTube videos!
Dave Bowen is very clear in his instruction and he offers daily tasks for serious students of YouTube SEO. I recommend his videos to other keynote speakers and Christian Comedians hoping to advance their videos for promotion.

Christian Comedians Need Business Sense Too
Christian Comedian Sally Edwards |
Event Planners seek clean comedians who entertain without offending. That is what will keep the comedy trend in churches thriving. To recognize this as a new speaker and Christian Comedian is invaluable. Building a mailing list and a successful social media campaign will connect you to friends, family and fans. If an event planner sees that you are motivated establish a solid career through online connections, your value has increased tenfold.
Because professional comedians are prone to creativity, they generally focus on writing funny stories. The reasoning is that "funny stories" brings rewards. I have performed as a clean stand up comedian for over 20 years and I have seen some of the "funniest" never quite make it. The brilliant comedians can fall by the wayside, appreciated for their genius only by other admiring comedians. This occurs when business sense does not quite catch up to creative sense.
Last year, I booked an event and I experienced first-hand what event planners see as "value" in a Christian Comedian. I initially made efforts to create the funniest show possible. With a limited budget for advertising, I was reliant upon word of mouth and basic internet social media to get the word out in a very short amount of time. Ironically, the "funniest" no longer had the same value to me when I was on the other side of the booking fence.
The comedians who were most valuable to me were the ones making an all-around effort. They were contacting friends, making mentions on Facebook, Stumble Upon, Tumbler, Digg and Twitter and writing blogs. My most valuable act of the year was a new comedian who did a great guest set and invited thirty friends. He did his homework, created a buzz and got the laughs. The event was successful and made me understand the true value of a working Christian Comedian.
