OK. So a month ago, a contest was announced by the Van der Spek company - whoever would post a video about their leather products and could get the most "likes" on YouTube would win one of the 3 discounts available on ordering another one. It sounded fun and I've never made a product video before so I gave it a try, figuring the sooner I got it made and posted the more time people would have to see it. So far 544 views and 35 likes. Ok, I figure not too bad since the lead video up until last week had 38 likes. I even created a thread here on paper planners to see what kind of interest is still out there on organizer planners.
It's now 6 days from the end of the contest and suddenly people are posting videos that have much more to do with DIYFish inserts than the leather planner - and overnight one of them got 1000 views and 98 likes!! I can't compete with that. Is there some secret DIYFish club that they tapped into? I'm so disappointed. Those videos don't really feature the planners as much as the diary inserts and how people use them.
Oh well. I tried. I vented. I'm done now. Thanks for listening.

That kind of stuff happens, sadly - maybe those people signed up on forums earlier and made more of a contribution? By all means, post a link, but I will judge that against the others on their so it may or may not help you!
Good luck, though and I hope you do well.

Thanks for asking. I actually posted my video very early in the process - thinking it would help to have more time. Maybe there is something I don't get about social media momentum. Anyway - Here's a link to my video. There are actually some very good ones out there (and I even voted for others if I liked them), but I was just a little dismayed by the "bait & switch" for votes on ones featured diary inserts.
Thanks to whoever decides to vote for mine!

What they tapped into is ALL their access to people who even marginally know them. I remember seeing threads on planners but I don't recall you saying anything about having a video and being in a contest... that is what those late comers have done. They let everybody they are remotely involved with online know about their entry in the contest. |

They probably belong to the Diyfish planner group on Facebook and posted it there. There are a ton of planner groups, join one and post your video!
Ps, I voted for you too! Good luck!

Maybe not secret, but DIYfish is HUGE! There's a facebookpage, and those inserts are mentioned in a lot of the other planner groups, too. If whoever has posted those videos are tapping into that fanbase, there's no wonder he/she gets a lot of likes. Smart move, but perhaps not quite what vdS had in mind. |

Kate Spade facebook group (for all ring planners), UK planner addicts (that one might be secret now. If so, shoot me a pm and I can invite you) and "planners, journals and everything in between" are groups where you could post your video.

I just joined all the groups. The competition is heating up - with more DIYfish videos. I will post there and on the other groups you mentioned. |
