Youtube alternative to get yourself or your ideas exposed

Good morning everyone and good day to the later viewers, today I looked at an alternative to the very dominant Youtube. 

In the old days I sold many Items on eBay and used Youtube to show the Item more in detail, this increased my sales by about 80% in my case. It never crossed my mind that other platforms could be out there and therefore be used to expose you or your product to a wider audience. 

If you do a lot of online sales or even depend on it like I do right now, then you have to find more then just one platform for your purpose.

I will start using metacafe besides Youtube and would like to hear about your experience with metacafe or even other simular platforms. Of course I will share my experience with you on upcoming posts and what I like or dislike.

Just leave a comment under this post and let me hear about the other places you might have stumbled on and got some experience with.

Thank you and have a great day.

Again hit by hail here in Calgary

Calgary seems to get hit this year by many hail storms, but this time we got away with just a little one. My city gets chinooks and these can turn a beautiful day into storm and the other way around. We are known for getting summer weather in the middle of winter, these chinooks are sometimes a blessing and in some cases a curse.

I was sick the last days and really had no time blogging anything from importance and so I left it cool down for a bit.

As we got hit, I was just getting my camera (canon t3) setup for some video shots on a tripod. Yes we are lucky and got some footage, this time I cut it into a 2 minute short film, less wobbly. Love the camera and the ability to really shoot great video in HD and take stunning picture in RAW and jpeg. 

Here is my short Hail storm clip:                         

Thank you for watching and hope you stay safe and secure at all times.

Finally on itunes

Hey hey hey,
what a morning.
Finally found out that my song is submitted to itunes, thanks to routenote for helping small artists to get their stuff out and be able to make a buck or two. It feels great to have this ability without sacrificing your soul to the majors.
My music is mostly sampler based ( I use the MPC 1000 from Akai ) and gets spiced with some extras through Garageband.
I would recommend to do some research and see which distributer for your digital music would be the best. There are many out there with different offers that change rapidly as this whole digital music game is growing. Another good distributer is tunecore, there are countless distributers for your music out there, too many to name. But before you sign up, be aware of this little hint.
Say you have a cd and you think you could double up sales using both tunecore and routenote, that is total wrong. If you sell the same songs through both of them (tunecore and routenote) and both push it up to say itunes, what happens is that your song or cd won't be showing up. Itunes thinks it is spamming and put you up on a blacklist,that I heard from many others. BE AWARE of this and only sell through one digital distribution service. And now good luck on selling your music and I wish you all the best of luck. If you have any questions you can leave a comment and I will answer as good as I can. The link below is to my song on itunes, support your small artsist.
Thank you,
JayDee
