I was trying to find ways to bump up my daily Youtube viewing figures, when I happened upon a tool that they have in Beta at the moment. It's called "Annotations".
It allows you to add linking text or hotspots to your videos. I know from experience that when I go to view videos on Youtube, I pay little attention to what else is on the page. As a maker of videos myself, that is not very encouraging. However, with this tool, I can make a link pop up on the video, and that is more likely to be noticed.
So I ploughed through a lot of my videos and put on the annotations that link to my channel. It took me a long time. They've only been on for a day, but I've already seen a hike in traffic. Especially to my channel viewings. So it appears that it is working so far.
This is a link to my Channel on Youtube. Where most of the Annotations point to:
Now for the latest on my Youtube numbers, followed by a snippet of news 
I now have a total of 662 Subscribers.
The channel viewings are moving now and currently stand at 14,509.
The total video views are now at 216,799. At this rate I should reach the quarter million by the end of July.
Now for some news. I'm finally releasing an album!
It's going out on digital release only to start with. If things go well then It will also be released on CD.
The album will contain some songs I've uploaded to Youtube, and a good number of new songs that haven't seen the light of day yet. I'm quite excited about it. I'll keep my blog up to date with the progress as the release date gets nearer. Naming tracks etc
