Top This Tip #1 -- get started sooner than later!

Don't wait until the last minute to upload and register your commercial!  Even with a high-speed connection, it can take up to 5 minutes for every 1MB of video to upload.  Remember the deadline to upload your commercial on YouTube and register it on www.TopThisTV.com is 11:59:59 EST, March 14, 2008.

Besides just getting your commercial in before the deadline, you may find other benefits to submitting your commercial sooner than later.  Although you may be heart broken at first to receive a confirmation email telling you your video has been declined because it was a little too long or you accidentally featured a copyrighted song or any other reason, all you have to do is fix what is wrong and resubmit it.  But if you wait until right before the deadline to submit your video and it is regretfully declined, you will not have the gift of time to fix what is wrong and resubmit for another chance.  What are you waiting for?  Get those cameras rolling!
