But again, I really commend you....

You are right I don't have a very obvious sales pitch. The way I see it there is a much more complex issue because YouTube is an entertainment venue. People go to YouTube for novel entertainment and its community of what are called vloggers. Although most of it is just sophmoric in nature. I think that blatent salesmanship would hamper what is needed to reach a level of success on YouTube. The whole system works on a very limited ranking system based on video views, comments, favorites and subscribers. If a video doesn't get ranked then it is at the mercy of the YouTube search engine where it is grouped with millions of other videos. I'm trying to find a way to make art entertaining to build a subscription base. As I said without subscribers it is hard to get views and without views it is hard for new people to find you.
