    1 is a useful tip. 2 is best practice for all videos, not just for mobile. 3 generally not the videographer's problem, though good idea nonetheless. 4 is also useful. 5 is common sense.

      Yup. Like I said in the video, a lot of this is common sense and best practices, but hopefully it's helpful to be reminded about WHY they're common sense and best practices within the context of mobile video.

    Hey Tim, what we did to get our videos shared on facebook was use a contest strategy.

    it worked pretty well but still testing, tweaking and getting better. If you want to see the video's (event launch) we did using youtube & facebook its here.

    My friend was working on apple and he changed his profession and life build career because he discovered the best method to get a ipod for free. Each problem which I have with ipod it's finished for me because my friend Tony helps me.
    After he told me the best method to get a free ipod touch, it always helps me with all sorts of questions I have. This is his job and I appreciate very much his website free-us-ipod.com.
    I hope that he will help you with your all questions. It is an amazing man. All my family got free ipod touch. It's a user proof category there if you don`t believe me. This man is my idol.

    Tim, I love your show and I will definitely learn how to do a video response to give you one. I ll be happy to, Can you point me to the direction on how to add those popup video clips, subscribe buttons and such and also how you do the last portion of your videos at closing with clickable attachments? I love your style! Way to go rock on!

      Hmm... yeah, maybe I can turn that into a Creator's Tip video. It's actually pretty simple, though. I just make the video "pop-ups" a part of my actual video that I upload to YouTube by editing them directly into the video. Then I use the spotlight annotation on YouTube to make a box around it that's clickable. Same with everything at the end of the video. Does that make sense?

      Tim Schmoyer a little, sorry i hate to be the BEGINNER to someone like you that knows what you are doing. LOL, i get all the other stuff except the part on how you add them to the video in the dit section. I guess i need to go to some tutorial place to learn that. If you can suggest something that would be great!
