The video I released last week has now reached 106,000 views, so much for me thinking it was not a very good video! It got onto the front 'all categories' videos page of Youtube for a few days and has been on the front page of Pets and Animals section for 5 days now - they can't update it too often. On top of this it got to #12 place in the charts for most viewed on that day.
The Camouflaged Chick video has finally got over half a million views which I am pleased with.
My videos have now received a total of 6 licensing requests for TV shows, a majority from Japan.
A new video has just been released called 'Baby Chick Snuggles up to Cats Tail'. It's not the best video I have, but it is acceptable. I have had a lot of problems with the sound my camera made in the videos(Clicking and background noise), so for this one I have had to work on the sound a bit. It is increasing in views fairly slowly at the moment, hopefully it picks up a bit.
Current total channel views: 680,000

20,000 views on the one video in 6 days, I had a well known company contact me today about buying my video!

Edit: It was Cheezburger who made the offer of which I have since declined.

The Quail and Cat video I put on Youtube is increasing in views at a phenomenal rate! It has increased by over 3,000 views since the post I did earlier this afternoon.

Hi, my name Jack, I am in my final year at School studying Chemistry, Maths and Biology. I run my own Poultry Business and hope to go on to study Chemical engineering at university later this year. My hobbies include Golf and Squash and outdoor pursuits.

I have set myself an aim to get at least 1 million video views on Youtube by the 16th January 2013. I have various methods in mind for getting there and I have a number of Chicken and Cat related videos that I hope will be a hit.

I started this project a few weeks ago and I thought I would set up a blog to document my progress and to help anyone else who may like to try this.

So far I have posted 22 videos to Youtube via my Youtube account in a space of one week, they are videos I have amassed from my Chickens, Cats and some other things. The first thing for me to get right was a catchy title that people are likely to be intrigued by and want to see more. I also believe a large number of tags in the video give the most chance of attracting viewers, the 'suggested tags' can be quite useful.

Once the Videos are up, the next stage is promotion. I need to get the videos out there for people to see and spread the link. I first started with Reddit but I have found it extremely hard to get many views on there, if I were to break through to the Reddit front page, I would pretty much be guaranteed hundreds of thousands of views in a short space of time.

Next I tried a site called Spikednation, a reliable way of getting 50 - 150 views per video but the people who use it get rather angry if you post too many videos.

I then tried a Hungarian site which I found from it being one of the 'Significant discovery events' on a popular video, it took me a while to figure out  as it was in Hungarian/badly translated, I don't think much happened with the videos I posted on there.

My videos gradually started to increase in view numbers, some more than others. A video I posted called 'Baby Quail Stands on Grumpy Cat's Head', began increasing in view numbers much faster than the others, with only a small amount of promotion.

I next tried a site called 'Buzzfeed', I posted about 10 videos, one of my videos was awarded a 'Meow' badge so it was promoted a special category for Cat videos. At the time when I posted it, about one video a day was being awarded this which meant the views started racking up (1,185 views from Buzzfeed so far).

The video 'Baby Quail Stands on Grumpy Cat's Head' has continued to increase at a very rapid rate. People have been sharing it quite a lot including Russian and Iranian sites. It has been getting about 1,000 views a day which I have very pleased with. Currently on almost 8,000 views in 6 days of posting!

I have had people contact me about Licensing of the video, so they deal with the financial site when it comes to adverts wanting to use the clip etc. They are a reputable company with clients including 'Charlie Bit my Finger', however for the moment I don't think I will sign the contract as I don't agree with some of the terms to the contract and also I would like to deal with any licensing deals myself.

I have also had a very popular Songwriter who wants to write a  Soundtrack to my video, I have agreed and it should be released later this month. This should bring in quite a lot of views and would also be quite amusing to have a soundtrack written for the video.

I have now finished my exams for now so I plan to do a lot more posting and promoting of videos, currently on 13,148 video views. My next promotion method is via Twitter, I will let you know how it goes in a few weeks time.
