maybe AH can sponsor a video
« on: March 15, 2019, 07:24:36 PM »
The History Guy on Youtube has 285k subscribers and makes a bunch of military themed content.  The one below was sponsored by World of Warships and the first sponsored video on his channel. 
Posted today and already has 19k views:





A good way to find people who are interested in WWII and by extension, AH.  No clue how much $ is involved in sponsoring a video but it would definitely reach the target audience.  :old:

Good idea.  A good way to show off the game.  I can't imagine it being too expensive. I'd even kick in to a go-fund-me if necessary.

What might make a good topic?  "The Hardest Day"?  Flying Tigers?  Cactus Air Force?

33k views in 24 hours.  If 1% of those tried AH, that would be 330 potential new players.  The channel also picked up another 2k subscribers in one day.

Too big of a scope.  Most of his videos are under 20 minutes and focus on small or obscure events.  Could be a particular battle or pilot that fought in the Battle of Britain.

You can draw them to the water but cant make them drink it.  I logged on about 4pm yesterday and noticed the numbers were quite low compared to normal.

Take a guess what map was up!

I personally dont have a problem with the map, but its quite obvious a lot of people do.  Ive been playing this for quite awhile, i can find or stir up trouble by several different means. Anything that simple to fix that has a negative effect on the population, should be fixed immediately.  (That means remove it from rotation)

But back to the topic, that looks like a great area to look into, and I also would support it through a gofundme type of page.

Doing something in social media is better than doing nothing, but I can`t personally see how a page you created could ever work and how it could attract people other than those already playing the game and wanting it to do good. If a person who had no idea what Aces High is then there is nothing explaining what it is on the page. Then the word "radio". Do the visuals on that page convey the action that is going on, I don`t see much hook in text messages that may seem like coded messages to someone without any idea about what AH3 is. If it was more like Need for Speed Curator type of renegade radio you can listen to and that gives some inside information about what is going on behind the scenes within the community and stirring up some stuff without ranting, hating, complaining, grieving etc then I could see appeal within the existing players. Just my opinion. Time has shown again and again that I have no idea about what other people want so maybe that page did spark some interest and people wanted to find out a bit more.
