11th April 2013: Optimisation Part 2

Following up yesterdays post, here are some measures I can take to optimise time spent on YouTube:

Creating thumbnails
Problem: Acquiring a screenshot for each individual parts thumbnail is incredibly time consuming
Solution: Have the same thumbnail for every part in a series
Drawback: Thumbnails won't be visual pinpoints of where abouts in the game the part takes place

Replying to comments
Problem: Responding to all comments and messages is becoming inhumanely possible
Solution: Read all comments, respond to most
Drawback: Won't be interacting with audience as much

Tagging videos, metadata
Problem: Inputting metadata for each video is labouring, often don't bother at all
Solution: Create a sheet of key words for each series that can possibly be modified for each video
Drawback: Possibly less unique metadata per video

Other things around video production shall have to wait, new opportunities with arise around that area once I've got my mits on a new laptop.

Okay so next up is actually trialling these ideas and then weighing their worth over previous methods, I've already began work on that since this is a process that's been in the works for as I said, the past couple of weeks.
