Publicity on Youtube

I'm trying to get other Christians to understand the amazing work of the India Gospel League. In the comment section of really popular videos I write a short statement about the IGL; something along the lines of, "Hey do you know about..." The group is working to bring Salvation to the more than 70,000,000 Marathi Indians who may very well have never heard the name of Jesus. Somehow, a number of my posts, and there are lots of them, were marked as spam by Youtube staff. I'm willing to change of each message to keep it from being flagged, but can anyone think of a better way to get a great organization such as the India Gospel League to be noticed? The regional government there actually outlawed conversion of Hindus by Christians, and those that continue to do The Lord's work are being persecuted; in some cases with violence. My thinking is I'm basically playing a numbers game; instead of calling up churches that we all know are inundated with requests for assistance, why not go directly to those who may never have supported a mission group in their lives? A video that's been viewed over a million times since '07 probably gets over 1,000 views a day. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this issue.

Sorry, but unless you're only commenting on videos about ministry in India, there's no way what you're doing could not be considered spam. And I don't care what's being spammed...Spam is annoying and automatically gives me a bad opinion of the person/company/organization resorting to it.

I suggest going someplace where you can have a meaningful dialogue with those who might be interested in offering their support. Or at least go someplace meant for advertising.

Why not post your own Youtube video if you actually have an account? It doesn't even have to be fancy, special effects. You can make a slideshow, set it to original music, and post.

It just seems kind of odd - to me anyways - that you'd have a YT account to seemingly, post comments, but wouldn't use the account to post a video of your own.

Personally, I don't read user's comments. I can't be bothered, and I don't think I'm the only person like this on YT. I'll take the time to watch a linked video, but I sure won't scroll down through pages of comments to find one singular comment on a political event.

ya dude just make a video about it on youtube.

hate to say it, but yeah it's kind of spammy to post totally unrelated comments on videos about other subjects. doesn't look that good either.
