(For any assistance with any of these steps - shane.belceto@socialtraffic.biz Skype ID: shanebelceto 1. Create an account at http://www.Youtube.com *be sure to verifiy the email to fully create the account * or use an existing account you own. 2. go to http://www.Youtube.com/socialtrafficinc subscribe to this channel add as friend or come back in a day or so and add as friend. comment now or come back in a day or 2 and comment on the page Feel free to repeat these steps with other Youtube accounts you have. 3. Get Firefox if you do not already have it, this is the only browser that has reload capablilities. Firefox for Windows Firefox for Mac OS X Firefox for Linux 4. Either from the Firefox controls or search Google for: reload every Install this Firefox add-on ReloadEvery Reloads web pages every so many seconds or minutes.The function is accessible via the context menu (menu you get when you right click on a web page)or via a drop down menu on the reload button => Use this Tracking form: Tracking form Note: once form is submitted for a video you can click the back button and redo the form on a new video quickly and easily. In a Youtube search, search for our targeted keywords for this campaign, example: earth day, earth, earth day event. Find one of our great videos, "Earth Day challenge" for example, or one of the video's from Social Traffic Inc's channel, watch this video all the way through .. then visit that channel and watch the other videos, all the way through too. Decide if you wish to favorite, 5 star, comment now while watching each of them. Dont' do this to all of them every time .... do come back and do these at different times though, once in a while each. You will also wish to leave video comments on many of these videos too. Doing these things, really moves us along because we are all talking about our videos, getting to know each other and having Fun. Now leave one of these video's in a brouser ... find the reload every, spiral dropdown menu near the top left of your status bars, or by right clicking ... choose reload every 5 min. Click on this drop down menu again for reload every, each time and enable it. Leave this browser running in the background or reduced to your tray. Youtube will allow 100 views each day per ISP. Please do this each day to get the numbers up and the videos seen by others on the top played list etc. This gives the video a head start. Especially those you find that have just been uploaded within the past 24 hours as you learned about. NOTE: for those with newer computers, you can run reload every, on more then one video at a time. So for example, you can have many of the earth day videos right now in either different tabs or separate browsers both reloading every 5 min to keep numbers going up faster. You will wish to keep an eye on this though so not to go super crazy having hundreds of views each day and causing a red flag for youtube. Rule of thumb is to stay around the 100 views on all your videos in a 24 hr period, going overboard will block your ISP and no views at all will count. Also do not be tempted to use the every sec options. You want the videos to play all the way through to give them a better chance and to look like a real person is watching them. Additionally you will most likely wish to mute the audio on the videos so not to drive yourself nuts ... (smiles) as well as it is good to insure reload every, is enabled on each video seperately easy to miss this step. Remember Have FUN and interact with everyone along the way. The goal is to build relationships by using videos, so ask questions, comment, make video's people want to watch and be interesting. Please now move on to the planning steps section just a bit further down this page to wrap things up .... ----
