This idea works for two reasons.

  1. It grabs your attention to both watch it, and continue watching
  2. It has the possiblity to go viral, people blog about it (i.e. me) or tell their friends

So next time you want to do some advertising or drum up traffic for your site, consider how ChefPatrick did it!

P.s. @ 3:05 ChefPatrick pronounces niche as “nish”… ITS NICHE (neesh)!!!
