YouTube Marketing Tips for Promoting Your Business Online and Help Your Video Go Viral
- ARTICLES |
1. Distribution
Submit your videos to top social bookmarking sites like Digg, Delicious, Friendfeed, Reddit, and StumbleUpon. Review the specifics or details of each bookmarking site to ensure that you are submitting the video in the right site.
Submit your videos with top tweeters, bloggers, and Facebook customers, preferably after having establishing a relationship first. Submit the videos to open Facebook groups and also your own Facebook page.
Remember to post the video to your blog. Promote the blog post the same way you would normally do.
2. Use Great Content
Great content is critical and should be your focus before anything else. And this doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune. There are many reasons a video goes viral. Here some to the top components which usually work great:
- Countdowns - People love a good countdown.
- Unrefined - Many things that go viral are unrefined and the audience believe that they are seeing something that they aren't normally use to seeing in other words unique or one of kind videos.
- Humor - Create a funny video.
- Cuteness - People love cute pets like kittens or puppies. That why is there so many viral videos about cats online.
-Controversy - Viral videos many times are involved in a controversy.
Of course, not all of these elements are effective or work for every site. Review the tips and specific features and apply to your distinct goal to create content that's more likely to be shared and spread online.
3. Focus on Neworking
Develop reputations on other top YouTube profiles as much as you can. Leave comments, respond to and send messages. Befriend them and you will create a relationship that you can later benefit from. In addition to YouTube, associate and build relationships with top ranked or popular bloggers, tweeters, and Facebook pages.
4. Use Advertising
It can be extremely helpful to pump the videos with traffic from advertisements to get the juices flowing in your video. But this is determined by your objective. You can achieve this, by marketing your video with social media and bookmarking ads.
5. Use the SEO Benefits of YouTube
Remember to edit the embed code to include a link to your website or a specific page on your site, including your target keyword if it's possible to do so in a way that isn't unpleasant. Make sure that the video is set to be publicly viewed. Also, use the keyword in the title and file name of the video and the description.
Add a transcript so that the content of the video is indexed. Encourage people to share the video using the embed code in order to get more links to your site and your YouTube page - this very important. The more compelling your video page becomes, the more the link from that page back to your site will count. Don't forget to concentrate on one keyword and no keyword stuffing please.
Last, but not least, your objective should be to build legion of loyal followers who are interested in knowing more about you, your business and your brand and not to create instant sales. Why? Devoted and loyal followers are a huge and compelling resource that you will be able to use for many years for future for sales, increased visibility, and creditability.
