In terms of views, the random or quirky stuff gets considerably more numbers in my experience. I do appreciate though that more views don't necessarily leads to more sales.

I think in my case the answer is 'yes,' but probably more by accident than design in many ways.

I was thinking of going number 3 just because it’s one of the best catchphrases in sitcom history!

It's funny how these things work out. This thread appeared a couple of days ago and it made me think about concentrating more on my You Tube channel which has been neglected in recent weeks and months, if not years. The primary aim of the channel is to attract leads for my online programme. Then, today, I picked up a new in person client. He Googled Personal Trainers in the area, came across my You Tube channel, took my lead magnet quiz, visited my website and has booked a trial for today. Proof, if ever I needed it, about the You Tube effect, with a reminder which was timely in the extreme.

I've never actually been to one, so this thread could be a good thread for me. I would say in relation to the brick and mortar business, it's probably not time well spent, or less so at least. For an online programme targeting the individual, there could be some value perhaps? Although would it be 'shooting fish in a barrel' and the time better spent elsewhere? One aspect, perhaps, would be to make connections with a view to promoting a corporate wellness programme?

Definitely a mixed bag for me. I have made some great connections and friends. I have also done business with a few people via networking. All worthwhile, but the meetings themselves haven't resulted in a great deal of direct business. I think I'm self aware enough to know that it isn't necessarily the fault of the networking organisations and that my tactics and/or approach may need a tweak. Plus, I realise it is an approach that requires patience.
