Just a year ago (14 August 2012) I started to create videos on YouTube dedicated to Lync 2013 http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Lync2013<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The product at the time was in preview and also those who already had experience with the 2010 version of Lync had a lot to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had a few key points in mind when I started:<\/span><\/p>\n

a) deal with technical topics, avoiding elements of pure marketing<\/span><\/p>\n

b) focus on Lync 2013<\/span><\/p>\n

c) use a native English reader, to prevent a non-perfect pronunciation that would make the use of video less simple<\/span><\/p>\n

d) always add subtitles to help those who are not native English-speaking<\/span><\/p>\n

e) use of female voices in the dubbing as an element of variety compared to most technical videos<\/span><\/p>\n

Analytics After 365 Days Online<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

I like to reason with numbers, so here are the statistics for this year. To consider that due to other commitments, for almost three months I have not posted new videos \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

\"data_1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So we are talking about 125 views per day, and about 464 minutes watched every day (note that calculation of watched minutes is started months after the birth canal).<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, 267 subscribers and 160 likes (and predictable,some dislike).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Top23\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Visitors are mainly from English talking countries , but after the first three places, the composition varies greatly.<\/span><\/p>\n

I would say, confirming the fact that the subtitles help.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mostly male audience. Mobile devices are under 6%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Planning the Next 365 Days<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The closure of this year still contains many projects, including a job that I care a lot with MVP Press ( Upgrading Skills to Microsoft Active Directory Domain Services 2012<\/a>\u00a0) and other commitments that I have to conceal for now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, it seems that this type of work has its own utility, and so I hope to be able to produce at least one video per month.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the ideas I plan to realize, for example, would be a video to help users in the change from the Lync 2010 client to the Lync 2013 client.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think that all channels are useful to help other people to deal with a complex product like Lync 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
