- Like John said, i belive using video promotional services like MoreTubeViews are a good way to get popular on youtube and to start marketing on youtube.
I think that if you were tobuy youtube views and subscribers you could start having a large audience.

- According to Dr.Kim, you should buy views and become famous. However, I annul this thinking but I do believe MoreViews is a good promotion site, however, you should buy subscribers from them and not youtube views. That will be a much smarter way to market your youtube video Dr.Kim.

- Hi Barbara, I didn't know you were on Squidoo! (I landed on another lens and I saw your avatar, so I followed it to your squidoo profile page.) These are great tips on how to use YouTube. Usually when I'm looking for something on YouTube I just type in my keyword, but it makes a lot of sense that you would get better results by adding words such as "tips" and "tutorial".

- This is a great resource, and a great idea. My son used YouTube videos to review algebra so that he could pass the CLEP test and wouldn't have to take the class in college. It worked! He passed it first time. Good thing, too. He hates algebra!
