(EDIT)  I have now released this video!

     




Tomorrow I will release a new video that is about comparing heat pumps to rocket mass heaters.  Based on the heat infographic that me, mud and andres made.  https://permies.com/heat

My understanding is that if I give the youtubes $5000, they will show that video to 500,000 people.  That would help me with my devious plots on world domination. All I need is the $5000.  

Me and mud and andres put hundreds of hours into that infographic.  For no pay. And there is long list of related stuff we do for free to help mend things on a global level.  

A little help please?

That was fast, youtube says they have now taken 26 cents to tell 79 people about the vid, but apparently, so far, nobody has clicked on it.

If you have an idea on how to get half a million people to watch this video for $5000 I'm all ears.

We have done some recent tests for $100 and are seeing results.  I suppose there could be lies, but they would also need to lie about directing traffic to permies.  

My guess is that it is legit.  

My whole life is about trying things that might not work ...   so I guess I am asking others to take this risk with me.

The aim is to attract a larger audience for the video.  Paying YouTube will make it more visible.

Thanks for this.  

Is there a way for some of us to see how YouTube determines who should see your film? For example, I was thinking of the Nebraska cattle ranchers who lost nearly all their livestock in the superstorm a few years back.  What if they had built RMHs and shelters for the cattle to be herded in to on the plains? The shelter could have an accommodation for the ranch hands that herded the cattle to the shelter.  That is one example.  I imagine you have thought of many more.  I just want to make sure that YT covers all the audiences that could use a RMH.  Thanks for listening.

Just a thought, is it worth adding a link to the video text for people to click on to give cash to promote it? Might not raise much, but it could go viral, and it all helps!

I suspect there is a type of advertising for something like that.  I also think it might take me more than an hour to work my way through the interface.  The stuff I am doing now is very simple and takes less than a minute to set up.

Hmmm ...   maybe.  I'll think about it.  

As is, i do suggest patreon stuff which is just $1. And I haven't had a new patreon person in about a month.
