Hi Dakota,

 

To embed a YouTube video, no embed code is needed at all, just the video or playlist URL. This is also true for a lotof other music and social platforms like spotify, SoundCloud etc. :)

It must be the hardware I am using, Windows 7 on a 2012 Vaio laptop, it wouldn't accept it until I did that. Tried the embed button in the tool bar, and only would get HTML code, but no video.


Now it is working with just the URL haha, well that's a coincidence.

Starting with 33 views, I finished the first challenge with 358! 

 

Results Breakdown:

 

  • Most traffic was coming from well placed hashtags and posting "Like4Like" posts in many groups across Facebook.
  • Twitter was a small source of views, again from well placed hashtags: the best performing tweet getting just over 1000 Views and 200 Impressions, on a Friday posted at 9 A.M. E.S.T
  • The Facebook Tactic: make a post saying "like for like, sub for sub, YouTube" and share it roughly 200 times to 60+ Facebook Music Groups. My post, using that tactic, had 5087 Views over one weekend, with over 1000 Impressions, 300 Comments, and 300 Link Clicks.
  • Starting with 62 Followers, and approximately 380 Total Channel Views over 120 days, this challenge helped me to increase those numbers to 92 Followers, and 920 Total Channel Views in 7 days.
