Promoting YouTube Videos - Any Tips?

8 replies
Lets say if you were promoting a YouTube video that doesn't necessarily have viral capabilities, how would you do it?

Example: - Submit to social media sites like Digg

Any other ideas? I'd really appreciate the feedback .

    Ensure you have the right keywords in the video (sometimes referred to as "Tags"), and in the title and description. Build back-links to the video to increase the view count. You can even purchase views (not sure if this goes against T&C though).

    Hope that gets you started.

  • Create guest posts which contain your video and submit them to people in your niche who own popular sites.

    Make Videos on topics that regularly crop up in the news and target keywords because people always search for news when it breaks.

    Make sure you embed your videos on your own website and send a broadcast to your list letting them know it's there and to go check it out.

    If you have an 'inner circle' of 50 or so dedicated members of your tribe, try and get two or three to comment within the first hour that your video is live.

    Make sure the title of the video is the keyword you're trying to rank for.

    Same thing for the account name.

    Also, tag the s#^t outta the video.

    Search for video's in your niche that have a high view count then reply to their video using your video. I gather this is a powerful way of getting more views.

    Use Jump Start. Im not sure how much it costs but i heard it's very effective at sending traffic daily plus it sends real human visitors to your video not bots.

    I have two words for you... Traffic Geyser . If your doing video marketing and not using TG, your wasting your time and missing out on massive duplication and distribution

    Another tip, I forgot to add:

    Simply make your video a 'reply' to a popular video within your niche, it will appear on the videos page and get you traffic fast.
