Maybe on the sign ups you could do either good quality back-and-forth comedy videos with someone or have some story-arc series which has stand-alone parts but needs to be seen wholly to really "get"- it would put in the incentive to sign up and sub, or just sub, to track, y'know. Maybe. I don't know.

And do use your clone more often, that's the tune which has the smoothest and "real" taste, your videos are too frequently "pushed", almost bordering on pretentiousness.

[jeffsmithluedke]

That's a really good idea. A story-off, if you will.  I'll pitch that to bnessel. He'd be my first pick.

[randyhelzerman]

Is it just me, or does it feel like we get Azrienoch on jeffsmithluedke's channel, and we get Jeff Smith Luedke on Azrienoch's channel?

[jeffsmithluedke]

Actually, you've got them backwards. Azrienoch is the showman. I'm the person. That bastard keeps trying to kill me, and with good reason--I'm boring--but his perpetual obstacle is that I'm the one with the body.

[randyhelzerman]

Actually, you were the one who got me to sign up and subscribe. The reason was you were having a good conversation which I wanted to be a part of. (Yeah, I know, "have a good conversation" is really actionable advice....not)

[jeffsmithluedke]

Well, there's something about conversations here that make people feel they're welcome to join in. It IS valuable advice because I need to learn what that is and use it.

the only reason people subscribe is if they think they are getting something out of it

[AdolescentAntiTheist]

If you want to bounce some ideas off of me or ask any questions about what people in my age group would find appealing I'd be fine with that, although I'm not exactly the average, and I definitely don't find Fred entertaining what-so-ever, but I think I'm still young enough to have a little bit of youthful exuberance.

[bobthemouse]

I think the Paul Harvey and story telling ideas are great. As for the creation of a channel, most people I know do it because they want to watch a video that needs age conformation. In all honesty I don't remember why I did it probably the same reason. As for the younger audience I'd say check out the top videos and if you see a trend do it in your own way. also you can checkout mahalodotcom every week this channel has a video mocking the weeks top videos

[FrostyPhilosopher]

I think that the Steve Harvey type show would be great, and you could work other ideas into it from time-to-time.

Of course you are right that this type of stuff makes you more popular, yet I fail to see how it is any less qualified for being called stupid, pointless shit than your Philosophy stuff. :)

[Kierketaard]

Since you've already done the alcohol thing get really stoned next time and see how that goes over.

[ianhoppe]

oi!

arent you glad that you swallowed your pride and posted that last video? i look forward to your series ideas.

i'm also going to echo nicavolante below when he says to get people to commit to getting an account they need to want to interact. asking questions, discussing contraversial subjects, etc..

good luck man

[ghostofperdition2188]

Thanks.

[amnesiameds]

i think both series ideas are good, but if you aren't sure how long you'd be able to use that little girl, you might want to start with the paul harvey one. don't worry about catering to young people, they'll grow up. also, i know under 16s that love you channel, so there's hope in that area.
