Never follow animal acts or kids.

As far as youtube.... I'd never pay for hits.... that's not a good investment.

Face it, most you tube videos and song will get a few hundred views if you are lucky. To get anything more than that, something in that video has to be unique enough to cause people to WANT to see it, word of mouth and in a few weeks it goes "viral" and gets over that 1 million mark. It's very hard for adult performers to hit that level these days. You are simply not "eye candy" or cool enough for that level of success based on the wants of this current generation.

A buddy of mine recorded this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgwJfoZ-12c while setting in a parking lot in town as a tornado was headed right toward him. It went viral because the local CBS channel picked it up, then the national CBS new showed a clip..... one heck of a way to go viral.

Me, on the other hand, the talented and handsome songwriter I am..... I'm lucky to get 300 views on a song..... pfffft.. what do they know anyway?
