Jeffstunes progress on Youtube

I was trying to find ways to bump up my daily Youtube viewing figures, when I came across a tool that is in Beta stage at the moment. It's called "Annotations".

It allows you to add linking text or hotspots to your videos. When I watch videos on youtube, I don't normally pay much attention to what else is on that web page. As a maker of videos myself, that is not very encouraging. However, with this tool, I can make a link pop up on the video, and that is more likely to be noticed.

So I went through most of my videos and added annotations that link back to my channel. It took me ages. It's early days, but I've already noticed a jump in traffic. Especially in my channel views. So it seems to be working.

This is a link to my Channel on Youtube. Where most of the Annotations point to:

Jeffstunes Youtube Channel

Now for the latest on my Youtube numbers, followed by a snippet of news :)

My subscriber count is now at 662.

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 a bit of news. I'm releasing an album!

It will be release for digital sales only to begin with. If it provides enough revenue, then It's likely that the money will be invested in a CD release, and some promotion.

The album will consist of some of the tracks I've uploaded to Youtube, and a good number of songs that haven't been heard yet. I'm quite excited about it. I'll keep my blog up to date with the progress as the release date gets nearer. Giving info on selected tracks etc :)
