Reaching Audience - Call for Ideas

[xaviertherien]

I believe I have a good #trickshot: extremely hard to execute and entertaining to watch (I hope!)

But... views are low. Can't seem to reach top 5. I've already shared on Facebook, forums, etc. Ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Xavier

P.s. I forgot... please like and share - thank you!

Way too long! 2 weeks at several hours per day. Construction phase took at least half the time. The ball easily goes off track unless angles, level and throw are perfect. And absorbing the bounce on the table without reducing horizontal speed was quite tricky...

During the shooting phase, I also realized that throwing a ball perfectly straight is one thing... but keeping the same precision while juggling with 4 balls is much, much harder...

Thanks again to Table Tennis Daily and everyone else that shares it to support me in the contest!

Nice one Xavier
In fact your one is the first one and one of 3 that I watched this year. I saw it on Adam's wall.

From experience last year, getting views, likes, shares and traffic is more difficult than the trickshot itself.

Sorry to say this, but to get into Top 5, is a popularity contest and got nothing to do with your trickshot.
I helped Adam with his 2 entries last year, and it sure wasn't fun doing it.

I also found some people used bots (you can pay for views/ likes etc), so this was very disappointing.
ITTF was aware of this, but I don't think anything was done.

If you want to chat more - you can get me on FB.

Hmm.. Getting views is already hard enough, if we need to compete with bots, the game is over. "ITTF was aware of this" - but really, is there anything they can do? Can this be determined with certainty?

Wow, 2 weeks at several hours a day. That is a lot of perseverance! I bet you went crazy once you had perfected it! Tremendous effort, and no worries in supporting

See you around!
