YouTube Marketing

by BigWealthTeam
13 replies
I am making videos promoting a Forex Trading Room.. It's amazing how some videos with the keyword "Forex" have 100 hits, and others literally have MILLIONS.

I know you can do a YouTube promoted video on the side, but it doesn't seem quite the same as an organically placed video, etc. I have however been not too successful in finding a good "YouTube Marketing Service". On eBay there are lots of sellers of "video views" ratings, etc.

I'm interested in the input of someone experienced in this who knows how to get thousands of views!! And I am very willing to outsource obviously.

Thank you in advance.

    Make a "remarkable" video.

    Sounds tough, but remarkable videos leave the viewer with their jaw dropped and so eager to click through to your sign-up process that they drop everything else they are doing.

    Is there a way to make a "remarkable" video for something like FOREX? YES!!

    How about a live recording of a trader getting in and out of a trade making an instant $300+?

    How about standing in front of a blackboard and explaining FOREX to me like I was an 8 year old, but at the same time adding some character and personality.

    How about explaining the short history of the Euro and explain it's significance to the USD? You could explain the USD part on camera interjected with another Dude (with heavy accent) standing in front of the Eiffel Tower (picture) explaining the Euro?

    Point is every niche can use humor, passion or drama to get a point across in a remarkable video. Once you produce one, just post it on Youtube and watch people pass it around.

        Interesting and informative video always gets millions of hits. Better make a video that you know people will surely like.

        I've never tried it before, but you can buy comments, ratings, and views through Ebay to help boost your videos. I've been thinking about it but not sure if its worth it.

    That's SO true Marty...anyone can make a video, but fewer than you think can make those remarkable videos.

    Find a few videos that make you want to watch the next one or take some action on it and replicate the flow and feel. Your video really needs to stand out in a crowded field like Forex, but it's very possible to do so with some personality and creativity.

      It works. But you have to have TONS of views.
      It was great for awhile in a lot of industries but got saturated quite quickly. Now you really need a LOT of views or something that really makes you stand out, etc.

        It works best for me. I want to mention here some of the points that you should consider:

        • Use other social media sites like Twitter and Digg to publish your videos.
        • Create professional videos thoughtful style that fits properly.
        • Make sure the sound of the video editing is clear and well mixed, then
        • users can hear clearly.
        • To keep the content fun, enjoyable and informative for viewers to see from beginning to end.
        • Try to keep the videos you create own without much controversy
        • team.
        • Incorporate your logo and website in the video somehow. You can do this with some text to the end or beginning, or the inclusion of your logo or URL in the entire video.
        • Have goals for YouTube videos, but remember that there are thousands of videos on the site, and some have millions of hits, while others only two hundred. Set realistic goals.
        • Make sure you have good camera and editing equipment. If you do not want to sink money into these things, hire a professional.
        • Keep the video resolution as high as possible, so it is as clear as possible.
        I hope this helps!

      Video Marketing works for sure. I have made several sales just from one Youtube video that was not that great. Some marketers are making 1000's a week with video marketing on youtube alone.

    Here are some tips to achieve higher rankings within the YouTube search results:

    1) Use plenty of keywords in your description. Make the description of your video as long as possible.

    2) Go through other YouTube videos in your niche and copy their tags. Normally, if a video is ranking high tags have something to do with it. (copying the tags will also increase your chances of the video being displayed in the "related videos" section of popular videos)

    3) Some of YouTube's algorithm is based on video ratings, comments, and views. You can post a "job" listing on any freelance site such as microworkers.com, odesk, or mechanical turk and hire people to rate and comment on your videos.

    Dont just upload to youtube, use other video sites as well.
    Lets use Youtube as an example:

    Search for forex, I noticed that the second 1 listed (ignoring the promoted video that was top) was 5 months old, had 19,321 views since 8 Sept 2009.

    Notice the video title, it has the keyword in it (forex) and also the magic phrase 'How do..' (you could use 'how to' instead).

    The description box doesnt have much info in it but it does have the website in the first line, and is stuffed with keywords.

    The same with the video tags, keyword stuffed.

    What I am saying is to make sure your title description and tags are done properly, send out a tweet when your video is uploaded just to get the initial surge of views so youtube thinks 'hello, this new video is getting views already, it must be important'.

    And do the same on other video sites and follow through with posting your video on a blog, facebook and forex forums if possible.

    Its work but thats what it takes. And it does the job. Give yourself an hour for the uploading and keyword research, then just promote your video link or youtube channel as you would any other link.
