“It’s not easy being green”, so the song went.  It’s also not easy being a small start-up company with big ideas and dreams.  In the beginning Inspirational music seemed like such a great idea and, yes, it turned out to be true, but getting there was not always fun, quick, profitable and easy.

Many of our ideas were cast aside as too expensive, not timely, too small staff consuming, beyond our pay grade or simply not working.  But as we first survived, then broke even, then became a successful enterprise and finally moved from being a small start-up to just being a working company we found the balance between what we could do, what we should do and what we would do.

What we would do then evolved to what we are now and that, of course, is still evolving.  One of the grand ideas that we originally had was laid aside as too expensive, too understaffed and simply not the priority of the day.  But this was an idea the clearly needed to be a part of Watchfire Music, so we limped along with a “taster” for years.

This “taster” became an embarrassment to me because I want our site to be full of new stuff and up to date every week if not every day.

By now some of you long-time faithful have probably guessed that I’m talking about Video.  We’ve had a video player and some WFM artist videos on the Home Page and a Video Page where you can go watch a small collection of Inspirational videos, but the same stuff has been up there and available for several years now.

Now that’s gonna change – Big Time!  Next week, we’re proud to announce, that WFM is going Video!  We’ve always dreamed of being the place to be for Inspirational Videos on the web.  We started it, but it got a bit postponed in the process.  Now the dream comes true!

The Best Of The Web
It is called simply, The Best Of The Web because that’s what it is.  Now we’re building it and we’re committed to making it a terrific world-wide library for Inspirational video – clean and uplifting.  That includes great stories, beautiful pictures, powerful performances and lotsa music.

WFM Artists
Also now we’re committed to rounding out the huge library of our own artists and are in the process of collecting videos from each of them so that you might get to know them and their music on a deeper level.

WFM Featured Videos
We’ll organize all this and bring it to you on a simple level by featuring each week a new list of a staff selected best from The Best Of The Web and from WFM Artists.  Watch for WFM Featured Videos on the home page.  The other two libraries you’ll find on the Video Page.  [See: The Nav Bar on any page of the site]

We’re launching all this next week and are in beta presently and working out the flow so that you might have an inspired experience watching Inspirational videos from all over the world.

Here’s where you can help: When you see a video that someone sends to you (we all get them nearly every day) that makes you laugh, brings a tear to your eye, touches your heart, lifts your spirit or thrills your soul, just grab the link and send it to us and we’ll do the rest and get it up for everyone else to see.  We only ask that it be clean, fits our professional standard and truly inspirational on one level or another.  Also, it needs to be a YouTube video.

Here’s how ya’ do it: Easy as 1, 2, 3.

1. Grab the link.

2. Paste link into email and type “Video Submisson” into Subject line.

3. Send email to: videos@watchfiremusic.com

Please consider this your own library and take part in the collection.  Most of us see something we like, then don’t know where to put it and so cut it.  Now there’s a place to store it share it and find many others.

Be a part of it!
