Videojug launched in 2006 and is gaining popularity as a prime destination for advice on everything from applying make-up to improving your golf or managing your finances.
The run down of ‘most viewed’ clips perhaps tells us something about the pressures of our society e.g. ‘how to kiss someone passionately’ being at the top fairly often; ‘how to get flat stomach in 9 minutes’ having an obvious pull – and I’m not sure what to make of the slightly worrying ‘how to get a girl to flash you’. Hmmmm. Ignoring the slightly ignoble lower end appeal of some of the content, you can’t deny this site is a winner simply for it’s clear purpose and drive to educate and entertain.
I’m going to try and track down one of the management team and will post again when I get some of my burning questions answered. I’m wondering things like how many viewers they get, whether most of these come from their YouTube Channel, and does the current Google video search situation fair well for returning links to their videos; also how far they go in terms of moderating the content that’s uploaded; how their business model is panning out – and what plans they may have for mobile devices. In the meantime, I’m preparing for my holidays by watching ‘how to have a belly flop competition‘ – useful stuff eh?! Oh – and Martin Shepherdly of WebEpics has something to say about ‘how to’ sites on his video marketing blog too.
