Group: Promoting ipernity

Here we discuss ideas about how we can improve ipernity's presence on YouTube.

- YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world.
- By improving our presence there, more people might discover ipernity.
- The automatically generated backlinks will improve ipernity's relevance on Google.
- By visiting and commenting our contributions we push irrelevant others to the back.

⚠️ Placing videos on YouTube will also attract visitors to your ipernity account.

● Further uploads to this channel can be done via e-mail to ipernity.photoclub@gmail.com. Because of the large size of video files, the transfer to this e-mail address is best done via WeTransfer

● As an eye catcher, a thumbnail should be added.

● As ima team, we insert the following keywords: "ipernity, ima, photo club, fotoclub, photoclub, photo sharing". Further keywords can be added if desired.

● After publication, you should refer to your video from your ipernity account as well as from other media (Facebook, Twitter, ... ). This increases the relevance of your video, so that it appears higher up in the search results.



Some notes for the video creation:

● For the video production you can use any suitable software of your own choice.

● Within this discussion group there is some experience with MAGIX Photostory DeLuxe.

● We have created the tutorial How To Create A YouTube Picture Show Easily to make it easy for you to get started.

● More tutorials can be found on the MAGIX homepage.

● Furthermore a Manual for MAGIX Photostory Deluxe is available.

● Your compilation should be Full HD (1920 x 1080), MPEG-4



Some notes for the arrangement:

● The optimal length is 2 - 4 minutes. Afterwards, the attention of viewers diminishes considerably.

● There are lots of tips for good dramaturgy on the Web. It is best you do your own search, in your own language, for something like "YouTube Video Marketing Guide".

● Use our official ipernity logo

● Use our official slogan: "ipernity, probably the largest non-commercial online photo club in the world".

● Use the correct tonalities of the two ipernity colours, dark blue: #6790bc, rgb(103, 144, 188) and light blue: #a2c3e2, rgb(162, 195, 226).

● If images of other ipernity members are used, permission must be obtained.



Some notes on music:

● It is preferable to use copyright-free music.

● To find plenty of free music, follow the advice of Sami Serola.

● YouTube music is only allowed for private use or for publishing your production exclusively on YouTube. In these cases you can use copyright-protected music, which is marked with the words 'Licensed for YouTube by . . .'.

For such music, YouTube has entered into agreements with the rights holders who have allowed the music in question to be used on YouTube in official and user-generated videos. See: support.google.com/youtube/answer/7680188

● The easiest way to download music from YouTube is to open the 320 YouTube Converter in a separate browser window. Copy the YouTube URL of the music in question and paste it into the converter. Process and download it. The converter is also available as a Firefox Add-On, which makes the processing a one click step.
