I put a video of me playing acoustic guitar on you tube 18 YEARS ago and it's only up to 6K views. Apparently I didn't get the promotion, how-to memo.

My early channel has been up for 17 years and the first video only has 117 views. By my metrics, you are doing really well!

My band preforming has 252 views after 17 years- I probably preformed that song live more than 250 times.

Still, I love the process and creating and editing, for me it's something I enjoy and do for myself. Of course, I want others to enjoy my work too, but I'm my first audience.

I have a lot of friends that work in social media. They film car reviews for big publications and get national coverage, travel all over Asia to check out new cars and exhibitions. I don't want to rely on their help to boost myself. They also teach me a lot about self promotion, but I just want to do it my way.

I hate the 30 second vertical loud and annoying clips.

However, as a part time actor, I have filmed a handful of annoying facebook ads that are just like that. If you have seen those ads where someone is playing a game and talking about it, it could have been one I filmed- I can't complain- it pays for car parts!
