    If you're trying to make 'make money online' videos you probably won't get much traffic but I try to use current trending topics and add my aff link in the description and make a little bubble inside the video leading to an affiliate product review.

    Make sure you have optimised your video for YouTube...choice of keyword, filename, title, description etc. Also ensure the video is giving a lot of value to the viewer. I agree with the previous poster that make money online videos won't get much traffic compared to videos outside that subject.

    Do backlink searches on your competing videos and ...

    Reverse engineer their backlink footprint.

    Put it this way: people who find your competitors' materials interesting are bound to find your stuff interesting too.

      Aside from the mentioned above... When making your videos, try to keep in mind the "retention rate" --- make content that are interesting enough to keep that stat high as possible. This will help YouTube tell that you're a good place to send traffic to. Try to build a real audience.

      ...And most importantly, try to model someone who's already there: try Brendan Burchard's YouTube Channel and see what you can pickup from him. Also see if you can match the dedication and consistency he has.

      (I suddenly remembered... there's this "lazy ass stoner" in YouTube doing IM stuff too)

      Lastly, good luck on your YouTube journey. Have fun while you're at it

      P.S. If you're in it for the long haul... start building your Reddit account also (you can only self promote 1/10 of the links you submit). So, when you got a good video, you can post it at there as well.

      Beware of this. Retention is important for Youtube ranking.

      It's not really a good idea to buy views, likes, shares, etc. I think YouTube is on to this and you may just end up hurting your video more than helping. I think it's best to try and optimize your video for organic search traffic.

      That means do keyword research and get natural backlinks. I have been able to rank lots of videos just by commenting on related authority blogs and leaving my video link.

      Commenting on blogs works great, but it has to be done right. Don't just write "nice post" and expect your comment to be published or even pass spam filters. Leave a few sentences related to the post and make sure the comment is highly relevant to the subject material.

      Something that works great for me is using the blogger's first name to start your comment, if you are able to find it. Usually if the blog has an "about me" page it will be there or possible at the top of the post itself.

    It's fairly easy to get random sidebar views on youtube by making an eye catching sidebar.

    I also recommend asking every person to subscribe in every video that you make and telling them what you have to offer them. Youtube has an interesting "snowball" effect, and while I haven't tapped the money niche on there, I can't imagine it's much different. Once you get to about a hundred subscribers you can expect that they'll want something more out of you, though, so keep that in mind if you decide to use Youtube to market yourself.

    You need to optimize your youtube video with the keywords you want it to rank for on Youtube, you will get a lot of traffic that way. If you have money you can use Youtube ad platform to feature your youtube video.

    You probably need to optimize your site for tags, the title, get backlinks and get social media shares so that it goes viral.

    Youtube is same with Google. Do keyword research first and then optimize your video title/description using the keyword. Funny/Informative videos for sure will get more shares/views/comment and therefore use these element to make your video viral. If you doing adsense, you can't buy traffic however if your not doing for adsense, you can buy traffic from fiverr (not entirely recommended). The best way is to promote this videos using twitter and Facebook.

      You can do this by advertising these videos on google and also on different social networks. You need to run a strong campaign on social networks in order to get more and more visitors on your Youtube videos.

    Under the description area, I like to put a very long, lengthy description like, want to learn, with the keyword in the beginning and then I just describe, basically, what I have in the video. The first move we go over is the whatever. Then just keep writing. I usually like to have at least 300 to 400 words in there and put my keyword two or three times. THIS ONLY THING WITH A GOOD TITLE AND TAGS CAN RANK YOU HIGHER

    Lots of good information in the above replies. Here are my basics. You need to make sure you do the best YouTube SEO that you can. Including such forgotten items like the name of your video file, make sure the file name includes keywords.
    Use a custom thumbnail and name that with your keywords as well.
    Create a good SEO title based on other successful videos in your niche.
    Do a long form description.
    Don't put in a list of keywords in the description instead work the keywords into the text of the description, just like doing a successful blog post.
    Put in the first comment a day or so after uploading your video. A thank you for watching comment always works.
    Make sure you ask for subscribers at the end of the video, in the description, and in a comment.
    Once you get above 1000 subscribers YouTube will begin to show your videos more frequently in the side bar.
    Make sure you use your main keywords in the start of the video, Google transcribes the first minute or so of the video and will pull keywords from there if they find any.
    Don't bother with purchased views, after all you want real views to respond to your call to action, purchased views never click on any links and never buy anything. Besides it is illegal on YouTube and they will shut down your channel if caught.
    Lastly keep in mind that YouTube videos also show up well on Google. About 50% of my YouTube video views come from YouTube searches and the other 50% come from Google. So when you are doing your SEO keep Google in mind.

    I also learn that longer videos rank better then short ones. So keep that in mind.

    To get quality traffic for your you tube video you need to share quality content in your video.

    You should use the easy keyword, title, channel. You also should use the social media site to inform to the general people about your video. Thanks

    You should drive outside traffic to your Youtube vids, along with doing what you can on Youtube. You could do a video response, use annotations, use autoplay, or even run a paid ad on the Youtube search results.

    Paid traffic would be the best as it would be highly targeted.

    videos should be:
    1) hd
    2) 15min+
    3) engaging (users should be pushed to leave questions in comments while watching them)

    .. another thing - your channel should should cover 1 niche only - otherwise you will never have growing number of subscribers.. period
