This lets your superimpose text right over your video...and change it later if you like without going through the edit process. Why do this? Well, for starters we increased the number of viewers who rated a recent video we posted by 2,400% just by asking them to give it five stars at the beginning middle and end of the video. How do you annotate? I don't know. I hired a bright kid to do it for me. Here are the directions. Maybe you can find a bright kid and hire him to do it for you too: http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/topic.py?topic=10534 One of the cool new tools YouTube has added is annotation.

The best method, I've come up with so far is to let my email list of several thousand people know about my videos. And of course to make a quality video that has content worth watching. I've also started to search for videos that are related to mine, and when I find a good one post a - video reply - Search for optahealth on Youtube to see some of my health and wellness videos.

But they haven't promoted them !!?? Go to YouTube and search on Greenling (home delivery of organic food in Austin Texas). Seems to me one of the "tools" is to create content that is viral. Oh yes... please let me know if you figure out the secret formula for that?
