Besides telling people in a vlog that Hank is preparing for a secret ceremony and he's getting special injections and taking pills leading up to it and you're a little worried about him?
Hmmm. Run a contest, not just inviting people to send in a vid or pic but give something away like a B2.0 tshirt - or peeps - whatever.
Get Virginia to do a piece about you.
Have all your present viewers send out emails to everyone on their contacts list. The Office has succeeded on TV because of this kind of grass roots support. Hey, get Jenna and her husband James to blog about your on their myspace pages. Talk about a network...

I actually think the LG15 spoof brian mentioned would be a great idea. The timing is excellent with John having to go to the doctors. You could do it as a response to the next LG15 video. Involve the Yeti as a watcher or something... It'd definitely bring in the hits.

I have just worked out who these two look like. It has been bugging me for a while. The proclaimers. Do a version of 500 miles between you, that may bring a few new toobers in.

15 Lessons From A Lonelygirl
Lesson Number 4 Encourage comments on YouTube.
Discourse: When LG15 abandoned GooTube, the series suffered from lost comment buzz. John and Hank have a wonderful site where they post their videos and comments. The comments regularly number around 100. This would put them in the "Most Discussed" videos every day.

This would put them in the "Most Discussed" videos every day. Yes, if they kept all their comments on youtube. to leverage youtube the best, it seems that its hard to also run a freestanding website, even with youtube embeds of the videos on that website. when all the action happens on youtube, you encourage more response videos and comments from people who may happen across your videos. the downside is that you are less able to define your channel as a separate entity -- i do like that aspect of brotherhood2.0.

Maybe it would help to set up an extra discussion board... in your pants.

I notice that a Brotherhood 2.0 video was featured by YouTube... not main page feature but a "People & Blogs" category page. It appears to have gotten about 5000 hits (when I saw it earlier in the day it was in the 3000s and now in the 8000s), maybe more, during the course of the day from that. Only 15 votes though, which seem to be the hardest thing to get youtubers to do. Only 20 comments, so as you can see it's a world away from main page feature, but something.
Also I think they should find a way to fit the name "Virginia Heffernan" into each video every day until they finally get her attention.

Man... I hope John realizes this... Whoever knew that so much could happen... you know where!

15 Lessons From A LonelygirlLesson Number 4Encourage comments on YouTube. Well the wedding video has certainly encouraged a few comments, but they are 99% awful. I forgot how truly terrible most of the comments on the LG15 channel were and are. Back when Bree was a "real" teenage girl", the level of discourse was at its worst. I have to rethink this advice...

Back when Bree was a "real" teenage girl", the level of discourse was at its worst. I have to rethink this advice... so many youtube comments are foul. at least being sorta featured got this 20,000 views. I hope that despite the nasty comments among the 50 it has received, they will gain new fans. while this is not a good example, responding to hater comments can be fun.
