On YouTube, Racy and Controversial Pays
Today we will look at two small topics concerning YouTube. If you’re interested in being the next major sensation, here are two tips that can help you. First of all, YouTube, unlike TV is not monitored by the FCC. Yes you can’t post nudity, terrorist stuff or other crap but basically that is the all the rules there are.
In terms of racy content, it pays to be out there. No I’m not saying if you are attractive you have to strip or come close to that in order to gain views. But be suggestive. Two classic examples are the CommunityChannel and Spricket24.
Both channels feature two beautiful ladies who talk about every day topics, some of them being taboo, and even though they do not dress in provocative clothing like HotForWords, they carry the charm and suggestive content for people to watch them. Natalie (from the CommunityChanel) chooses to use “your mom” phrases as well as the occasional f bomb and not to mention quite a few double intenders. However, what makes her videos appealing is the fact that you would not expect it from her. And while she is not way out there in terms of content, she does bring enough controversy to the table to keep her viewers.
Peter Chow: This guy is the epitome of controversy. If you have never watched one of Peter Chow’s vlogs, I suggest you do so. Not only is the guy downright lewd when it comes to discussing sexual subjects, but he styles women as mothabitches not to mention getting in trouble with some rcist comments (or at least they were taken that way). Yet he is the number 4 subscribed channel in Canada and the average views of his videos exceed half a million per video. And even with this he has been able to score a commercial advertising Doritos chips.
So I’m not saying you must use these examples to be successful, but if you think you have the talent and are interested in raking up a little controversy on the net try it.
