In addition to several members who have YouTube channels (@isladogs ,@Uncle Gizmo,@sonic8 ,@strive4peace), all of which I have learned MUCH from - Access Powerhouse and MVP Karl Donaubauer has joined the fray with his own. I came across this bit of news on my morning rounds and hope you all find this as exciting as I did!

Here is his first video:
 
Makes me wonder if the blog section of this site should be utilised, giving experts an opportunity to present their wares via an article. Idea would be they write an article, can have a link to their site at the end of the article and also embed a YouTube video, which would contribute to their viewership. Could be a win-win, maybe.
 
add the Tiktok section too..

If you are soliciting votes, it's a "yes" for me.
 
It was a passing thought, and something I have mentioned on the forums before. But my previous thoughts were just about an article of say a minimum 1,000 words. The new part of my thinking was an article plus embedded YouTube video. That way they give this site more value but also increase the views of their YouTube video, which helps the algo for its ranking.

Great idea, IMHO
 
When I mentioned a similar concept before for the blog section, I didn't really get much enthusiasm for it, so perhaps it is a non-starter. Guest posting is quite common for lots of sites.
 
I agree, John @NauticalGent -- Karl covers things going with Access in an entertaining, creative way. Now there are more 'Access News' videos by him -- latest is here:


I like your idea, @Jon -- especially if there is a good way to FIND videos relevent to what you want to learn about like being able to specify keywords or tags -- and those who share to fill out the main concepts that are covered, in addition to a title and description. Also happy to see you want to embed instead of having authors upload video here too since duplicate content creates canonical issues
 
Jon, Now that I'm joining the group of video producers, I'm even more interested in the blog with links concept. Let me know if you want any help organizing it.
When you say you are joining the group of video producers, do you mean you have started your own YouTube channel?

Regarding running it, I don't have any time so someone else or a few will need to run it. I will periodically check to see if the entries meet a set criteria. Just dropping a video will do nothing to help get the blog posts found. It needs text content so that Google will find the article and then serve it up to people searching for that content. Then any embedded video will get the exposure that way.
 
At the moment, Uncle_Gizmo and I are collaborating. I don't know anything about how to drive traffic to a website.
Do you mean driving to a YouTube channel or an actually website itself?

In either case, getting traffic is not easy!
 
Ah....So one would actually have to watch your videos in their entirety then? A simple click wont do the trick...
 
I'm not sure .. from what I hear from other YouTube podcasters, they are always asking you to watch the video to the end. So I think the actual watch time is important for your ranking....
That is correct. What good is a video if people watch only the first 20 seconds of an 18 minute tutorial, at least as far as the advertiser is concerned? The whole thing is muddy to me, though. I am convinced that longer videos can work IF the content is compelling enough to keep people watching, but most Access tutorials probably should not be longer than 8 to 10 minutes. I find it impossible to clear my throat and state the intent of a presentation that quickly. I've not yet considered other "motivational" techniques. :cautious:

Crystal has been posting some videos (DataPig) with permission from the owner. They are short, to the point and very easy to watch. For someone starting out and wanting to get dirty, they are perfect. Once the basics are mastered, then the 1 hour, boring details would be more appreciated.

I follow several PowerApps developers. Most run 12 - 20 minutes. However, there are some others that I can't stay with more than a minute. Part of it, however, is trusting the creator (ah, a lovely name, isn't it?) to have something worthwhile to say.
 
thanks John @NauticalGent

> DataPig ... short, to the point and very easy to watch.

Here are links to the 2 batches of them -- one for queries and one for forms

playlist ~ Datapig Queries

playlist - DataPig Forms

yes, and even though the DartaPig videos were made a long time ago, the reasons to cover that topic persist -- and maybe there are better ways now (or maybe there was also a better way back then that Mike didn't know about).

back to the topic ... I love the way that Karl makes each video not only pertainant but also entertaining .... so much to think about ~

> @GPGeorge at least as far as the advertiser is concerned?

when I started posting on YouTube, advertising wasn't a 'thing'-- too bad it is now, but I get it even though I don't benefit myself and would keep ads off my videos if I could, as my reason to post them is to teach
