The Stickam 2 Million Goal

Hey Folks,

So a few of you have already noticed, I've been live streaming a lot more often lately.
There was a day and time where I used to go live on Stickam nearly every night, and for hours.

Then with work, and life, and anti social behavior I cut back. I started doing the weekly Failpire show. And that was enough for me for a while.

Recently, with the shows getting upwards of 20,000 views on average I've gotten a renewed vim and vigor and I can see crossing the 2 million views line, which brings me about half a million views away from being on the top twenty all time most viewed people on stickam....



So I'm focused on a goal.

I've had two ideas recently; I do the Thursday show regularly at 3pm PST - so I'm thinking of doing another regular show/chat. Possibly on Sundays

I'm also thinking of doing a 24 hour stream, to be tied in with my novel Gone, but to be filled with lots of guests, muscians, youtubers, comedy... like a telethon for my novel.

The Price of Success

Hey Folks,

So I'm sitting here procrastinating on cutting one of two videos I have imported, that I need to finish... so naturally instead I'm blogging. (here & on podpocalypse.com)

Here's the problem, it's not the procrastination.

It's not the 5 posts I put up that got only a handful of views.

The problem is stuff like this : 5 Epic Things – Dramatic Photographs

Out of nowhere it suddenly jumps from 20 views to 200.
And now I'm stuck hitting the refresh button watching as ever 20 seconds or so it jumps again.

And then it slows at 212 and you're wondering "Why did that get so many more views, then the obligatory post with a hot chick(NSFW) in it!" and then you're stuck thinking "why the hell did it only get that many views!?"

Oh wait it just got another one. Ok, it's not dead in the water yet.

But see here's the rub, success on the web becomes instant obsession. I'll sit here not editing for hours cycling through tabs and hitting the refresh button on the stats window as I come back to it.

I think I need an app that reads out my wordpress stats every 5 seconds. Then maybe I'd stop looking at it and actually come close to getting stuff done.

Stay Strong,
