YouTube Info
Monday, January 5th, 2009As some may know, I created a couple of book trailers a month or two ago. One was for my very first published story, GOING DOWN. I will admit, it has a very provocative title…which probably is why this book has been my best-selling to date.
When you upload a video to YouTube, you can see how many times it has been viewed. My GOING DOWN trailer quickly grew into the most viewed of my two book trailers (the other one is for MOONLIGHTING). It was obvious to me why:
1) The title
2) The random snapshot chosen by YouTube to ‘advertise’ it…cleavage shot!
In other words, I am guessing the majority of the people viewing this book trailer were expecting much different content. Whoops.
I hadn’t logged into my YouTube account for about a month. Out of curiosity, I looked this morning. My GOING DOWN book trailer suddenly had four times more viewers than it did a mere 4 weeks ago!
Now, here comes the fun part. You can look at information about who is watching your videos…where your viewers come from, and a few other details. And guess what? The Middle East really loves their porn! LOL.
My top ten hits for location of viewers:
1) Turks & Caicos Islands (okay, not Middle Eastern…but wait)
2) Libya
3) Egypt
4) Morocco
5) Saudi Arabia
6) Jordan
7) Algeria
Israel
9) Oman
10) Iran
Oh, and 87% of them are male. Yep. These are my viewers, folks. Somehow I have a feeling they are not racing to buy my books. Not sure if this interest is a good thing or a bad thing.
