A short time ago, YouTube urged us to ’Broadcast Yourself’. They don’t have to tell us any more. Consider that 3 Billion videos are viewed every day*. With all that content being uploaded and viewed, our video habits on YouTube provide interesting ways to get visbile. More importantly, it also defines how to stay visible. I recently read an article that indicates we are at a transitional time for broadcast media. Part of that change, some argue, is that YouTube has become online-studio system.
The five (5) maxims are :
- Rule # 1 – Make a lot of content. A lot
- Rule #2 – Target a niche
- Rule #3 – Connect with your fans.
- Rule #4 – Collaborate
- Rule #5 – Optimize for the algorithms
An example – Since 2007, over 75M+ have watched the Chocolate Rain video by Tay Zonday. He now has his own money-making YouTube Channel.
The complete article is available here on Wired.com.

Now you know how to get viral and stay visible.
