I agree she should post more live "fresh" performances, my point is she should be putting up more content period, that's why I mentioned the 'full show' video, over an hour and a half. At least it's unique, people love Haley's live performances, sometimes more than the recorded, and obviously I wouldn't want her to put it up if she didn't think it was up to snuff, I'm just offering up options.
Haley began having activity again on her channel when Jay arrived, he started posting videos, mine as well as even his
'cell phone' video of Haley performing w/ Jeff Goldblum. Sure my videos aren't 'professional' but they at least drew activity to her channel, gaining subscribers. When new fans want to learn more about Haley, they would go to her channel. Mine is just an alternate, that's why I try to do the best job I can, even if they are still just amateur, it gives Haley's fans something to consume.....
Say what you will about my videos, but they do draw attention to Haley and her live performances. Last year my channel drew 5.8 million views.... this year I will fall short of NINE million views by about 100,000. That's no mistake. Haley's recent output and popularity, Jay reviving her channel and my channel output thanks to getting access for better audio, that has all combined to increase interest... I mean from 5.8 to almost 9 million views in one year is pretty significant.
The point is content. As we see, as soon as Jay left, there's not near the same activity on Youtube or Twitter, that's not coincidence. If there's no content, there's no interest after the initial discovery, period. In this short attention span society, people will move on.
Of course Haley shouldn't put up just any old video, ONLY the ones that she feels are good enough, and I'm fine with that. My point is, there is content, TeamHaleyFans provides it, and if they are good enough, then she should post them on her channel as that's where fans will go to first.
Team Haley gave me access to record audio, in fact they asked me to send them audio from shows they missed (hopefully they may be able to engineer live audio recording in the future from them). IMO Seattle, NYC, Santa Ana and Chicago may have audio they, with their engineering expertise and equipment, may be able to produce something MUCH better than I could with my 'Best Buy' software. Either way, it's about content and keeping interest, if not mine, then someone else's. YouTube has long reach and a HUGE stage in these times for artists to engage their fans. It's not an 'ego thing' that I suggest this, I'm just offering options. The further away we are from her Idol season, the more difficult it is to hold interest from new fans.
Haley has yet to post a video for her third Christmas song issued this year, she barely said anything about her 3rd EP single, "You Send Me". At the very least these should be on her channel. Something is better than nothing. Audiences these days need engagement or they move on
PS, since June of Last year, Team Haley has asked me to not post so many videos in a row, I took it as a condition for letting me get access for cleaner audio, better video. They didn't want me to flood the interwebs w/ videos. I used to post videos every 3-4 days, now it's every 5-7 days. So considering that I post fewer videos now, the increase in views on my channel over-all is even more impressive, more views from fewer videos?
