The Absolute Sound YouTube Channel Just Hit 10,000 Subscribers

[Lee]

I am very proud to announce our YouTube channel just hit 10K subscribers after just eight months. If you have not subscribed, then I hope you will. Total views are 855,000. This should help our ranking with the YT algorithm.

We think videos are great for discussing topics of interest, interviewing musicians and celebrities, introducing gear, covering trade shows, and the like. But for in-depth analysis, the print magazine remains vital in our view.

I hope the content we have posted so far has been meaningful or at least entertaining. Many thanks if you have been a viewer or subscriber.

Congratulations! That's a huge milestone. You will be celebrating 20,000 sooner than you think. Great job!

Tas has come a long wPay from when HP refused to give away one issue for free.

Earning a profit is a great thing…it has allowed us to invest in and build several new channels to build awareness and share insights with new audiences.

Lee, I will say that TAS channel garners shockingly low views. Particularly for how high of production value is maintained. After a half hour or so of watching a few minutes here and there a few months back. My predominant thought was how much this type of content is very likely going to be missed in the future.

After a half hour or so of watching a few minutes here and there a few months back. My predominant thought was how much this type of content is very likely going to be missed in the future.

I think it may be a function of a few things:
1. We are a relatively new channel. Really only been at it for eight months.
2. YT algorithm. Experts tell us that you really accelerate once you get 10K views. So hopefully we are on to better things!
3. We are still learning what types of content garner more views…however we are willing to offer content we feel is important even if it is less popular.

That said, our Wilson Audio and Shunyata Research factory tours did really well. Wilson got 55K views and counting. That’s a very good number for our industry.

Our Winding Road channel has 1.1 million subscribers so we know how to do this work.

While I don't turn to youtube often, using it to watch system videos and the occasional how-to video for stuff around the house, I appreciate that you guys are doing something. That you're willing to put in the time, energy and dinero to support the hobby in this way is a positive. I remember watching a few episodes from Tom Martin and sidekick Lance on 'Audio Basics How to Judge Stereo Quality' and other subjects, and thought those pretty good. Maybe a touch slow, but the content was good. I'd really like to see that series transcribed to use as a reference.

Thanks. I think there is good content in that series.

I appreciated the dose of reality it offered that is already lost for many encouraged to partake in content that persists on more tempestuous views. There is an element of learning more about fishing quietly rocking in the boat absorbing the age old act. In place of laying waste to an ever changing body with new lures apparently boiling the waters in angry strikes.

For many years going the high end struggled to produce video content successfully carrying the message attempting to be conveyed. I was impressed no less at the neatness in which it was accomplished as that it managed to capture deep waters are not to be judged by appearance of desolate slow moving surface conditions.

With any luck you won't have to change much in order to have your audience find you. From a younger perspective, it has increasingly seemed the algorithm needs to be defeated by searches in unassignable directions. Before it gets frustrated enough to attempt sidebar suggestions of any worth. I'd be curious to discover how much of your business strategy expert's focus was on slicing out this, more likely to occur in the high end consumer, studious form of interaction.

I wish you the best bringing TAS and related publications into this sphere.
