During the crisis this past week when some of us were calling Senators’ offices to discuss the upcoming vote on giving $430M to radical feminist organizations (via CJS appropriations to the OVW at the DOJ), a friend of mine quickly put together the following video on the dating rights aspect of men’s rights and offered some advice:

His Recommendations:
1. Start a forum on MND. Call it something like youtube material so you have a place you can gather your thoughts, ideas, content, etc for your next video. In this forum, you can reference other posts made throughout ODR. You just need a place to gather the data.
2. Photos – stock photos  to be used in the future.
3. Videos – nothing wrong with using other videos and giving your opinion, thoughts, etc. I wish the video you provided was at least 3 or 4 minutes long. A good video with live people is what the youtube community enjoy the most.
4. Sound/Music – stock pile as well.
5. You get the embed code from youtube. Just go to your video and copy and paste the code.
Youtube also provides a direct link to the video. You can use the direct link and ask other webmasters or men’s groups to post the link on their site. If you can get them to embed it, even better.
6. If you do start a forum on MND for youtube content and ideas, you can promote that forum and try to get other men’s groups involved and have them provide material for future videos. This would also be a great way to promote MND by becoming the central deposit for gathering video material  to fight the feminists.
7. Right now, there is no videos on youtube talking about IMBRA, except yours. Once the feminists realize what you are doing, they may jump on the band wagon. You want this. The more the feminists speak, the more mistakes they will make and the easier it will be for you guys to attack. As is, the feminists have already provided you enough material to do a hundred videos if not more. If the feminists do start using youtube, expect their material to be top notch. They will probaly hire a video crew and actors.
8. It would be great if you or someone would step in front of the camera and do a video. It would be much more effective. You could make it look like a news show. There is a guy on youtube who does that now but his subject material is related to gay issues. What I’m emphasizing here is the format, not the material. Here is the example of his video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOQOpl5FWHk
Notice the picture in the background. He uses PIP to do that. Very easy to do. What you should also notice about this member, he is a youtube partner. You can tell by the design of his community channel. To become a youtbe partner, you have to submit a form. But right now that would be in vein since your channel is not popular yet and you have only a few videos. But if you do ever become a partner, you are in youtube privilege land and will have a captive audiance. It is a goal worthy of pursing. Doing more quality videos is the only way to achieve it.
What you should take a way from his video is the format. You guys could do something similar. Have someone talk, with pix or videos as a pip in the background. You could show a photo of something and point out all the loop holes or lies the feminists promotes.
If you guys would want to do something like a news show, I would help. Get someone who can articulate and willing to  get in front of a camera and  I will gladly offer my expertise. There has to be someone at MND who is willing. You don’t even need a camera…can use a good web cam (should have good resolution).
9. Tools. I told you this before, but going to state it again.
– need video editing software. Windows movie maker will work.
– need something to record the screen – camtasia will work.
– need something to record sound – the flash recording I told you about will work. Please note that camtasia can record sound as well.
– I won’t recommend using flash for you guys. It requires some knowledge of coding. However, you can create words in both your movie editor and camtasia, but cant’ do any fancy stuff.
good luck
