A Little Challenge

Today I came up with a little challenge for my son and me. We both had to post a little video on YouTube to see who could get the most views. Both of us using YouTube like this has been quite fun and we are thinking about doing more things like this.

However, my main reason for doing this was to try and show him how to self-publicise to get yourself out there.

He makes Vlogs all the time, but his views are really low and most of the videos on my channel have a lot more than he does. I am putting this down to the fact that I promote my videos in many different places.

Although he does occasionally post in some Google+ groups, it doesn’t seem to be faring well for him. This is starting to get to him, as he really enjoys YouTube. He dreams of fame on YouTube and I think he could make a decent channel if he sticks with it. Yes, I know I am his mum and slightly biased!

I’m not giving him false hope. However, I think it’s important to encourage him and let him know that he could make a bit of extra pocket money on YouTube. If our children are really into something, why not encourage and support them?

Building up my son’s Google+ page is something I am going to try and help him with over the next few days. The same with his Twitter and Instagram, hopefully giving him a few more ways to promote himself.

I am nowhere near an expert at this. However, my limited skills should help him while he is finding his feet. I don’t think it’ll be long until he no longer needs my help.

As I have mentioned the little challenge between my son and me, I am going to post the links for both of the videos here. Choose which one of us to support!
