Two Channels to Check Out

Hi again from YouTube world!

I figured I would mention a couple of channels on YouTube that I just started following and think you might want to check out.

The first is called You Are Created Beautifully. It's by a friend of mine named Caroline, and she takes the viewer through her quest to do the Master Cleanse for ten days. But if you watch the channel you'll find out that her vision for the channel goes beyond that. It's even got me thinking about the possibility of both doing the MC and creating videos of my own. Hmmm....

The other is Landmarq Music Group. This is the YouTube home of the Landmarq Group, an up and coming pair of musicians laying down all kinds of tracks from hip hop to R&B to even a little rock groove. Being a musician, I can respect the talents of other musicians in any kind of music.

Hope you take the time to check these channels out, and maybe get inspired. Get your video fix on, ya'll!

YouTube Rental Recap

Good morning! I did go ahead and rent the video by Mark Joyner, which was an easy process. I was able to start watching the video, and the quality of the video is excellent. It's easily the same video quality as my Netflix Instant Queue videos. One thing is that at the 30 minute mark it froze up on me, and even after waiting for around 5 minutes it didn't restart. I'll try it again & see if it works any better.

BTW, the content in the video is excellent, and it might have worked too well. I was already a member of Simpleology, the website he mentions for the Next Internet Millionaire contestants, and there happened to be a special Labor Day promotion going on. Well, now I'm a full-fledged member of ALL the Simpleology courses that were offered! We'll see how well they work. :)

Have an awesome weekend, and get your video fix on!

YouTube Rentals - First Time

Welcome back! Thanks for taking the time to come visit my blog. Today I want to introduce you to a feature that many people might not be aware of - YouTube Rentals.

To get to the Rentals section, go to the YouTube Store at http://www.youtube.com/store. 

There are several categories such as Action & Adventure, Drama, Romance and Comedy. The concept is that you look over the list of available movies, select one, and then pay for the rental via Google Checkout [you do know that Google owns YouTube, right?] I understand they want you to use their service, but it would have been nice to have the option to use PayPal. 

You do have to have a YouTube account to be able to take advantage of this feature. When you pick a video for the first time, you'll be informed that you need to upgrade your account to include a payment method [aka Google Checkout]. It's similar to PayPal in that you can use one of your credit or debit cards as your payment method. Once you've completed this process, you'll be welcomed into the Google Checkout family, and redirected back to the video you want to rent. 

The length of time you can rent the video for is determined by the filmmaker. It could be as short as 24 to 48 hours, or possibly 30 to 60 days. There's a video that I'm going to check out by Mark Joyner, considered the creator of the e-book and one of the most successful Internet marketers ever. It's part of a series of videos being offered by Joel Comm called "The Secret Classroom". Depending on how this one is, I may take the plunge and purchase the series. I will let you know how the rental experience goes. 

Until later, head to YouTube and get your video fix on!
