Alternative Platforms For Motovlogs

Yeah, but looking at my YouTube analytics I get very little from these forums (except the Top Posters spot which gives you loads, get posting!), a few hits from reddit (unless it gains traction, then it's lots of hits!) and a lot from other forums I post on.

Most of my traffic is through YouTube search, Twitter and from my main channel page (I assume these are subscribers).

The reddit motovlog subreddit is just full of people spamming content and very few viewing and commenting in my opinion. This seems to be the case for most motovlogging-centric places and Twitter, Facebook etc are the places to go for views.

All in my experience/opinion of course, your experience may vary massively depending on your content or audience etc.

So far, I've only posted on Facebook, twitter and Youtube, but I'm still at a very low sub-level, so it's hard to see results yet. Sounds like I should just stick to this method maybe :-)
 
Well just creating great content is how most of the big names got there, along with being lucky enough to start before there was the immense competition there is now.

The first 100 subs are the hardest, or so I'm constantly told :p

Just stick with creating great content regularly and people will notice you :)

I'm almost there :-p I guess we'll see if the saying is true hehe
 
Some guys post certain vids to vimeo. But its more movie type things.

Youtube is about the only place.



As for getting your shit seen, reddit , motorcycles if you have something awesome.. otherwise sadly chuck it in the motovlogging sub
 
Vimeo is quite restricting I think. I remember @weeemrcb saying he had to reencode for it.

I've not really explored it as such. Maybe I'll give it a go someday.

YEah, I don't see all that many motovloggers on Vimeo
 
I don't really know, I must have messed up something as I ended up getting banned from AdSense.

Google will never tell you why you were banned unless you're a medium sized channel (500k+ subs).
 
For videos apparently vimeo is ok but there is a limit for the free users.

For promotion, goto the communities on google plus and forums.

I don't get any hits from the motovlogger subreddit but it doesn't look all that active.
 
I did experiment with a website once just for Motovloging where you just register your name and youtube account (youtube name is all no password etc needed) and every time you uploaded a video to YouTube it would also appear on said website.

It did work very well but never took it any further as wasn't sure if it would be worth the time to maintain as I would of though that only other vloggers would go to it?
 
Well, considering for the modest channels, most of the views will be other vloggers, I know most of my interaction is from vloggers, although when I did a vlog about horses, had a horse rider comment, but in terms of percentage it's insignificant.

I'm guessing BvG, RJ and C2W (for example) do have a wider audience, although I suspect most will be bikers and pillions.

As a rule of thumb, I'm guessing that when the 'thumbs down' start to roll in on seemingly innoscent vids, that may be an indicator that it's getting out to a broader audience. Seems most vloggers with less subs, get next to no 'thumbs down', and then when they hit a certain point, they start showing up. Just a guess though.
Might be somebody doing a search on the subject matter, and then not quite understanding why it has to be in our type of format (on a motorcycle). eg.: little 11 year old Jenny does a search on ponies, and then has to sit through wheelies and revs to get to the point, haha :-P ...oh well. I can see how that would give a thumbs down, hehe

Aw man - it's like a TV guide/feed for youtube channels. I would use something like that =D
