This morning on Jake's Showcase http://youtube.com/JakesShowcase my video "Jake Johnston - "Cat Girl" https://youtu.be/59n4TxmTd0g is at 270 Views 16 Likes 12 Dislikes.
I write a highly, highly unusual morning blog post this Saturday but must for as I awoke my total view count on my Jake's Showcase channel is now at 667,353 surpassing 2/3 of a million or 666,667.
First a quick note about this video. 16 Likes to 12 Dislikes, with 270 views. This video got a strong reaction albeit much more negative then I anticipated. Surprised really I really like the song, I think it's catchy. To have 28 likes and dislikes on 270 views is like over 10% of people are feeling strong enough one way or another to engage with the video and click like or dislike. This is actually good. You see YouTube wants videos that viewers engage with. Starting last November engagement rate became more important then view count according to their algorithm. This means watch time, comments, likes, dislikes, shares, favorites ect. So a video that is highly engaging so a video that is highly engaging in YouTube's eyes is a strong, strong video.
It's true I want everybody to like me, love me in fact however in life this is not always the case. So, that's life. I ain't interested in people who don't like me, I only deal with people who do like me. Keep life positive baby.
And by the way, some of the most popular music videos, some of the most influential stars are often some of the most disliked. It's true check the numbers.
Greatness often comes from the boo's the missed shots, the strike outs, the failures. It's the strength to go back to the drawing bored and try again.
Now, two thirds of a million views. Wow, 2/3rds there baby. Huge, massive. The channels doing alright in general in an upward ticking trajectory but yesterday was the first sub 600 adsense views in weeks at 573. Generally the numbers are up and rising which has been one of the reasons for me minimizing my blog posts to keep the momentum rolling. I've worked very, very hard to get to this point. I put a lot out on the line. I've shifted my life more then I realized I would. People look at me different. Sometimes they laugh at me on the streets, sometimes they like me. It's hard core becoming a 2/3 of a million views YouTube artist. Not everybody knows me, obviously not everybody likes me. In fact I think my YouTube channel has made some people who sort of didn't have much of an thought one way or another like me less. So it's not gravey. Some people attack me via my YouTube channel, if they don't like me, something I've said of done they'll go do something on my YouTube, to "get me". Well, whatever. Overall people seem to like my channel. I have many more likes to dislikes. More general smiles in the streets then frowns.
People might not understand what I'm doing. Why I'm doing it. But I do. And I think if you're a true fan you do too. I need to accomplish this 1 million channel wide views for not just me, but for you and for anyone else out there that needs an example of overcoming obstacles, literally on a step by step basis. That's why I can't move physically, or focused wise until I get there. They say it will be 401 days today or July 8th 2016. However, if I hit it faster I can move on faster. So if your a fan or a dis fan that is the only way I'll be happy to do something else. So share me, pass me around, tell people about me, show people a video of mine. Jump on board even if your off board.
With me finding a love, well, I think that will take care of itself. Just keep getting myself better. That joy is something I really look forward to and if you happen to be her I really look forward to spending a lot of quality time with you, dreaming, doing, living.
To the final 1/3 of a million. We shall get there. It's all about the next view.
Have a Wonderful Day or Night Fans,
Jake Johnston jakesshowcase@gmail.com
