get youtube views

Hi Roshan99,
the most obvious I think would be to post links onto your FB, Twitter and the like. Start by txting your friends. Keep it simple, posting daily to lots of other sites and you will soon see your traffic building up. Oh! and don't forget to put in good tags !

I find that youtube is different to other types of marketing in that they views tend to come more after a number of months than in the first few days liek article marketing used to..

In saying that.. you can add your video to bookmarking sites so that it gets syndicated in google faster and higher.

get the video out in front of as many people as you can like others have said - if it's really any good then it will get shared around the web faster than you think.

Don't bother wasting your money buying views and stuff - it won't do you any good.

There are several things you can do to help your videos get views in YouTube - a few have already been mentioned and are right on.

As mentioned, you should definitely send the link to your video out on all the social media platforms you are on. Don't be afraid to ask your friends to share it! If you don't ask, they don't always know what you want them to do. I also agree with sending out to social bookmarking sites. Those are both great places to start!

Another thing to think about is...if you optimize your video well and are engaging with other YouTubers then YouTube will take more notice of your video and rank it higher in it's search results.

Here are some basic ways to optimize your video:

1. Use a good keyword in your video title. Make sure it is something people would be searching for in order to find whatever it is your video is about.

2. Put your keyword in your video's description box a couple of times (make it sound as natural and nice as possible...not like a sales commercial) and be sure to write a really nice, comprehensive description.

3. Include your keyword in your video's tags (as already mentioned)

4. Choose a good category for your video

5. Choose the best, most interesting thumbnail that you can for your video (I know YouTube doesn't always give great choices, but choose the best one you can).

6. Get out there and engage in YouTube...YouTube loves engagement. Comment, share, like other people's videos, and just be a part of the community. This is often reciprocal and others will do the same for you, thus helping your video rank higher.


There are some other things you can do to optimize your video, but some of it is a little more advanced and also hinges on how you created your video (such as whether or not you used your keyword in your actual video script). And there is always paid promotion, such as PPC...but I probably wouldn't do that unless you have a really great offer/landing page linking from your video.

Anyway - those are some ideas. Hope that helps!

whoever said buying views dont work is wrong

a big percentage of top Youtubers = mobile view buyers

Here's an expert from a post I wrote last year about this topic:

If you want fast views and to rank your video, you can be a "bad boy"
Sign up at Vagex, u2bviews or any other site in that section. Then get some free or paid points. Then add your video to the site and get views, likes, comments etc...

if you are just starting out which it sounds like you are; the best thing to do is some foot work on your own. Send it to friends via email, post it on your Twitter, Google+ etc, and just get as many people to check out the video yourself as you can.

After a while you will hopefully start to gain a following on your own and not have to so so much promoting on your own.

Another AMAZING source of views and not to mention likes and subscribers is Empire Avenue Missions. Check out some videos on how to play Empire Avenue and get going. Once you have a pretty well established account you will be able to create what are called "misions" which give you traffic. It sounds complicated, but it's a great way to gain exposure and something you should start working at.

Hope this helps!

I use a free YouTube traffic exchange called view2.be

Never forget to look for the most popular videos on the category you're uploading to and take a peek at their tags.

It really depends on your goal with the video. Someone in a post mentioned 'mobile views' which is a method used by a lot of companies that sell views and is of no value other than to boost the count. With this method the 'viewer' does not actually see the video. If you goal is just to get your count high, this would actually suffice.

If you want actual viewers then you would need to get actual eyeballs on the video. Some mentioned Social Media (like linking in FB, twitter etc) and those are great suggestions.

Another thing that you can do, which would actually get targeted viewers would be to join forums relevant to your video niche and start participating in conversations. For example, my friends have a cooking youtube channel where they post video recipes to. They actually join related forums or other blogs and interact with the community. If someone in the community is asking for a recipe that they have a video about on their Youtube channel, they will leave the link. This can get several hundred to several thousand targeted viewers depending on how big the forum of blog is where the link was left.

Always be sure to take some time on your Title, Description, tags, etc so that youtube knows what your videos is about and can rank it as well!

Thanks and good luck!

Optimise your titles, description tags.
Share your video on sites like Stumble Upon.
Above all, ensure your video engages the viewer and gives value.
Don't go buying views or likes as you may get your account pulled.

If you don't have methods in place to drive traffic to it, Twitter, fb, etc., then uploading more videos and optimizing them for search is your best chance. More videos equals a bigger chance of people finding your videos. If it's a video worthy of sharing you can post it to Reddit or similar high traffic outlets.

share the video as much as possible on social sites, with your friends, fans, subscribers ect.
you can also buy the views and comments, but they are not good coz if they detect it's fake they can remove the video.

Optimization techniques, as covered in some of the replies are important. Getting your video on the first page of Youtube results can be achieved by buying a Fiverr Gig for 1,000 EDU backlinks. Finally add a clickable annotation to your site (search Youtube for how to add clickable external links)
