I’m writing this post as:

1. A woman carrying a baby boy in her belly who’s three days past his due date.
2. A Content Lover.

It’s a YouTube video condensing 24 hours of targeted niche content - content that, while niche, happens to also be HIGHLY universal - into under three minutes.

It’s “The Mom” sung to the William Tell Overture.

Now, I wish I could tell you who the comedian is performing this witty, spot-on nagstravaganza, but I simply don’t know. That’s one of the drawbacks of user-generated content - proper attribution too often falls victim to the viral tides. Which, I suppose, is a good lesson for those of us looking to create our own vlog series or YouTube clips for our lives and/or business. PLEASE, let’s remember to brand ourselves - and A-Ha  Ourselves! - whenever possible! 

“How do I ‘A-Ha Myself!’ with a YouTube video?” you say? 

Here are a few suggestions:

• Add a quick graphic at the beginning and end directing viewers and fans to your website
• Include an audio shout-out to your website and/or company name somewhere in your clip
• For the low-tech folks: hold up a hand-written, hand-held sign in front of the video cam

The point is, let’s be sure to give enthusiasts, tire pokers, press, bloggers, and stumble-uponers a chance to find out more about us if they want to take that ride.

Besides, these days, some of the most powerful, dynamic connections and opportunities are happening “by accident,” on a whim, just by clicking a link or writing an email in a little slice of time, spat of daydreaming, pocket of procrastination, or dally into dawdling.

Okay, no more content lectures. Enjoy “The Mom”!!!!!
