I hope many of our members are following our idahosblind channel on youtube. And I hope you are thinking about some things you could get somebody to shoot. Youtube has become very unwillling to let anything be a short if it is not in portrait mode. Further, shorts get many times as many views a s what they call videos. Shorts can provide a lot of information and should be less than 60 seconds. If you will watch, you will be able to see what I mean.
Here are suggestions for things you cqan do: a quick activitiy in the kitchen; something about travel with a guidedog or white cane; a look at interesting things you have gathered around your house or yard; a visit to a park or tourist spot; something new you learn or discover. Well, you can tell, there is hardly any limit. Fortunately, we were able to get several people at convention, but we would very much like to have more Idaho people show up on our channel.
If you have an idea for a video nd need someone to take it, let me know. I will try to help. If you have someone to shoot videos and need ideas or thoughts about what to take, I can help there, too.
Through the years we have done very well. We have 827 subscribers right now, and the better our videos, the more we will get. I would love to be at 1000 subscribers by the end of the year.Longer videos can be effective. We just don't need as many. Kevin streamed the state banquet at state convention, and it has 106 views. It is around 3 hours long, and that is good for that length.
Best,
Ramona
