Keith Mott on
Hi everyone!
I think its common knowledge that I started my own ‘YouTube’ channel on the Internet in March 2016. At the time of writing this email (11th May 2018) the channel has reached the magic three million views worldwide stage, in only its twenty seventh month since going live. To say, I’m blown away by its massive success in such a short time, would be an understatement! We have built up to 10,000 views on some days worldwide and it now hosts 5,204 subscribers. Brilliant!
In the beginning the ‘YouTube’ channel took over my life and I couldn’t edit and get films on it quick enough! If I didn’t put footage on every day, I got complaining message from all over the world, asking me to put more on. At that time, I got 320 short films on the channel and that was all my ‘Many Miles with Mott’ archive of films, so I could then have my life back to normal. My massive archive of films is the result of many years traveling around Europe visiting and filming hundreds of the very best fanciers and their lofts. I have mixed it up well on the channel, with loft visits to racing and show racer fanciers, visits to National Shows and loads of good pigeon race liberations.
I have been going out from time to time recently; too visit premier lofts and shows, with the sole purpose of making new films for the YouTube channel and for new fancy press articles. We have made 50 new films in recent months and the channel now hosts 378 videos produced by myself. I’m not going away for weeks on end like I use too, to get films and articles, but will enjoy a 50 miles drive for a loft visit, or pick some up if I’m away for some reason.
It was a hard slog for those first three months editing all those films, but I’m glad they are now out there on the internet giving people pleasure.
My son, Mark, suggested I put the films on the Internet and set the YouTube channel up for me. I don’t think he knew what he was starting! At the time of writing this email my top film on the channel is Video 38: Ron McCarthy of Wales and this Show Racer legend’s loft visit has had a massive 519,000 views. Just brilliant!
Attached a few of the new pigeon montages taken from the new film (Number 378), which went live yesterday. Good luck with your pigeon racing!
