There are several "my town" sites out there that automatically link up videos based on the location mentioned in the tags. For example, I shot some video in Clarksdale, Mississippi. I put that in the tags and a couple of sites picked it up under "videos from Clarksdale, Mississippi" and it also listed what I had written in the video details.
It is a good opportunity to list your website or use the keywords and keyword-phrases, to not only make them more searchable, but they will get picked up by these kind of sites. And they do give you credit based on your YouTube user name. (If you want a different name for credit, you need to put that in the details).
Being social within the YouTube community helps get subscribers and take advantage of the information details section of your channel. Sell yourself there.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
