I had the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles to VidSummit. It was an awesome experience, everything I expected and more. A few of the people I had the opportunity to meet were Brian G. Johnson, Nick Nimmin, Dee Nimmin, Jeremy Vest, Matt Gielen, Daniel Batel, Nico Kamenszky and many others. Not to mention all the many presenters sharing their wisdom. In this podcast I'm sharing some of my take-a-ways and some insight from the presenters. If you want more information about VidSummit (not an affiliate link) https://vidsummit.com. 

The first minute of your video can mean success or failure.  Especially for longer videos. How do you keep people engaged with your videos? Do you ramble on with introductions and information about yourself or do you get right into the topic. 

I'm headed to vid summit this week, I hope to see you there. 

Jeremy Vest shares how you can improve your YouTube thumbnails. Thumbnails are often the first introduction to your video. A good thumbnail can increase your click-through rate, which can lead to YouTube promoting your video to more prospective viewers. Jeremy has a ten-point checklist you might find helpful.

Jeremy is responsible for all inbound marketing for vidIQ including SEO, PPC, Blog, Email, Automation, Tracking, Conversion Science, and Content Marketing. He is also the co-founder of Video Marketing World.

YouTube suggesting your videos is one of the fastest ways for your YouTube videos to earn views. A viral video is often a suggested video because YouTube has up to 2 billion people to recommend your video to, which is most likely a few more people than on your email list :-) .  Find more information about growing a YouTube channel on the thetubeblog.com.
