My Youtube Videos
Home - Profile - Archives - Friends - Official website - CaptchionarySomething I prepared earlierPosted on June 28, 2011 at 4:43 PM - LinkYou may have noticed I haven't been putting up much posts recently. This is as a direct result of not uploading much to youtube and that's down to me spending my time on making my new website.It's been a difficult time with the current economic climate. I've made hardly anything from my music. That's probably because I give most of it away for free. So I decided to dedicate a good deal of time in developing an idea I had a number of years ago. I'm glad to say I'm just about finished and the site went live in the last week or so. I don't doubt that there might be the odd bug in it, but I'm quite proud of what I have achieved all on my own. I did it to try and provide me with the means to live and the freedom to develop my music. First I'll tell you a bit about my new site, and then I'll fill you in on my latest youtube statistics. The site is a bit like an enhanced directory for accommodation and events and it's called Megabunk. I've seen some similar sites about that charge commissions and take bookings for those with rooms to rent. Mine is a bit different. It's a contact site, so it just puts you in touch. So therefore it's completely free to use. The search facilities are geared towards accommodation and work in conjunction with google maps. I've got to say that I'm very satisified with what I have produced. There is also an easy to manage calender so that people can keep track of booked dates. I also considered that people might want to use the site in different ways. Someone might like the fact that it has internal messaging on the site, but it can also be used to just provide a profile with a link to a website. A host user can have up to 10 profiles. This allows those who are a bit flush with multiple places to rent to receive mail on the same email address. Just before I went live I spent several days making some instructional videos and the total viewing time of them all comes to over an hour.I made them into a playlist, and as is fitting with my posts, I'm going to give you a link to the videos: I'd recommend watching a couple of the vids before visiting the site. You can go directly to the site at the following link, and remember that I wrote the whole thing myself (including a few small open source functions that I adapted). Megabunk I can make the site free because I'm putting advertising on the site to raise some funds. There aren't many overheads (just me myself and I) so I'm hoping to plough anything spare back into improving the site and promoting it. I've always believed that membership sites should be free. Commercial TV channels have done it for many years. So, if you know anyone with accommodation to let for long or short term. Even if they have a spare room to rent for a week in the summer, then please guide them towards Megabunk. It wont cost them anything but a little time in setting up a profile, and that will hopefully bring them more enquiries and/or visitors to their website. It's a bit like a free entry into an accommodation search engine. It's not only for those with accommodation. Event organisers can set up an event profile that gets returned with the accommodation results :) Now for those interested in my Jeffstunes youtube channel.There's been quite a bit of momvement since my last post, due to the long gap. Here we go with the stats. Channel vies have topped 50k at 50,976. My subscribers have topped the 2k mark at 2,209 and the total viewing figures for all my videos is a heady 1,463,739. I've got 5 music videos to tell you about since I last posted and I'm hoping to let you know about them in the next few weeks. |
