Before I post the Top 6 Winners in our "social media competition" that ended last night, I want to share some things that happened:
1. Otto Brewer (one of Jennifer Ring's sons) posted enough videos over the past 2 months to gain 591 new followers. This is huge!
2. Lauren Goforth (my niece) created a brand new YouTube channel just for this competition. She posted 84 videos featuring her cats, which got her 177 subscribers, 4,400 likes, and over 108,000 views. That's awesome!
3. Luke posted a lot of videos also, with the goal of increasing his "Watch Time Hours" on his Lego Channel. He went from 300 hours up to 1508 hours. He needs 4,000 hours to monetize and get paid.
4. Natalie and Eric Pool created a new "home remodeling" channel which also gained success.
5. The 28 Competitors posted a few hundred videos which got a remarkable 700,000+ views and a few thousand new subscribers and followers. That's seriously huge and shows the power of posting videos consistently over a 2-month period.
6. Of the 28 people competing, there are now SIX YouTube channels paying them money from Ad Revenue. This is the ultimate goal when you make money and get paid by YouTube.
7. Donald Froneberger (who already has enormous success on YouTube) gave advice and encouraged many within the contest while he posted a record-setting number of videos in 2 months. The more encouragement, engagement, and motivation from those around us, the bigger a person's successes can become.
The purpose of this contest was to make posting lots of videos more fun, to encourage each other to make more videos than ever before, to post videos consistently so the algorithm can find our audiences. And to motivate a few family members who have always wanted to get on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok to finally create a new channel and post videos.
This contest was a huge success! Everyone was playing for prizes and giftcards paid for by YouTube Ad-Revenue. Curious who the Top 6 winners are? I'll post them next.
