ning more views on YouTube:- Keep it as short as possible: Keep cutting down your videos to hold the audience attention span.
- Good music: A key to a popular video is to choose the right music.
- Don’t be too promotional: Create your video to provide value, not to promote yourself or your product.
- Lead with the headline: You don’t have time to build the story, since the drop off rate is huge for video. Tell them why they need to watch right from the start.
- Know your audience: Who’s going to view this? Create your content with this in mind.
Decide what you want your Digital Stamp to be. This is a concept from the video with Erik, and basically means your goals in life and what you would like to show up on Google as your legacy. From business to personal, whatever is important to you can be included.
For example, Erik wants his stamp to be as a “digital Dale Carnegie who teaches people to lead their best life with God and family first.”
Spend a few minutes creating your Digital Stamp and let us know what you come up with!

Kickstarter is a crowdfunding site that raises money for individual projects. If you want to produce a book, product, movie, or anything else, you can raise funds online and have people fund the 
project. This eliminates the need for a loan, and generates buzz about your project.
If you back the project and the fundraiser raises enough money, you get the product when it’s created, or receive something else for your contribution.
