    Look at Google trends and find if any of the searches relate to your product and make a video respones with a very extreme opinion either agreeing or compeltely disagreeing with the status quo. This will generate tons of comments and views and people will either love you and hate you for it.

    The title matters!

    Optimize your title just like you do for your article.

    Make it funny. Use the word "funny" in the title.

    Using the word "funny" in email subj. lines can double open
    rates in my experience. I don't often use it though because
    I don't find IM funny and I respect my subscribers enough
    not to tell them a video is "funny" or "cool" when it really
    isn't.

    Funny-stupid is very popular. Sex too. Use picture of
    pretty women in the middle of your video so you can get
    it to show for the thumbnail.

    I am not saying this is good marketing. It is a way to get
    views only - mostly from people who have no interest in
    buying from you.

    Base your video titles on the keywords that people are actually searching for.

    A good title will get someone to check out your video at first, but content will get them to be counted as a view.

    Also, posting a video response or posting a video with a similar title as another popular one, really helps to draw in views.

    I learned this simple trick from a video sometime ago and it's really easy and works pretty good.

    Goal: improve the pagerank for your youtube channel/video's.

    First get the firefox addon SeoQuake, link below.

    Install it and make sure it works, you should see a toolbar appear once you open a website.
    It shows the pagerank of that page and more.

    Go to google's advanced search option and type in your target keyword between quotes.
    Under that you fill in ''Channel Comments'' without the quotes. Select 100 results per page, any language, any format.
    After Search within.. type: ''youtube.com/user'' Without the quotes.

    You should see all sorts of youtube users pages and their Pagerank. Sort the results by pagerank (use the seoquake addon).
    Start going to a few pages and see if they are relevant to your channel. Then start making comments on these high pr channels.
    Just make the comments look real, no links are needed, your username automatically links to your account.

    I did this on 15-20 channels a few days ago and my channel went up 1 pagerank.
    Now I don't know if this is common knowledge around here, but I decided to post it anyway, hopefully someone finds it usefull!

    NOTE: I c/p from a website but I've used this trick many times and it does work.

    Um how about creating a really good video that you target market would like?

    Seriously, there's no point having something funny and clever if no one is ever going to buy your product. Unless your just trying to create flat out brand awareness.

    I keep hearing this "post your video as a video response" thing, but in my experience, the other user has to approve your video and if you're in any kind of related niche or your video is in any way designed to sell something they see you as competition and 99% of the time refuse it!?

    My best trick.

    While your video is running edit your website www.xxxxxx.com to show or flash down the bottom the entire way through the video. This way those that dont click your link in the description will see this everytime your video plays.

    If you have a dog training video, lets say that runs for 5 mins....and it is very good, and you leave your website in nice big letters down the bottom of your video, expect people to remember it, and as if it goes viral expect to get lots of traffic and some sales as well.

    I have over 100 videos with my website branded down the bottom. The website never leaves the bottom part of the video. two video I have received over 88, 000 views. You do the maths.

    youtube is one of the best ways to market at the moment. Get it right and expect to get a lot of money.

      That's a cool technique. What editing software do you use to make your videos?

        That's something you can do in any software...including Windows Movie Maker and iMovie...just look at the text tool.

          LOL - not ANY software. So far, I've only used the software that came with my Flipcam which is pretty limited, and for some reason, the video format of my Flip videos couldn't be read by Windows Movie Maker.

          Glad I'm in that Video Production Lab Workshop - I need better tools!

    For serious video marketing, I am using traffic geyser. Used to think it was too expensive but I came to realize, it does wonders.

    With some nifty little tricks, my videos go to page 1 of google even surpassing .gov sites!

    Employing these tricks my videos constitute to 20-40% of the traffic of my sites.

    Not bad for a set-and-forget system.

    Think outside the box. Make something that people are going to like. If you make a video like everyone else, you will get results like everyone else. If you make something unique, you never know what will happen. Atleast it won't be boring.

    DO this..

    1. Create short, direct response videos with a hard hitting call to action and direct them to..(see below)

    Call to actions don't always have to be attached to a dollar amount. This is where many video marketers get it wrong. They only mention something that pertains to BUYING something with their CTA. People are so conditioned to this already and often you get placed in "sales pitch" territory right from the start.

    Instead, here are a few.

    Send viewers of a direct response video to ...

    Part two of your video on a landing page
    A second video that answers a question from the first video.
    A second video that solves a problem mentioned in first video
    A landing page to download part two of video (through AR of course) Best if second video is longer, education type video
    A landing page where they can use refer a friend and send video to others for a free gift
    (through AR of course)

    Why is this important?

    We need to get out of "I am selling you something" land and get into, " I have something cool to show you that you need and want"

    Build credibility by removing the initial hard sell, then come back and offer true value and wallets will open.

    What's cool is many just go after the first sale (quick buck) and instant gratification. This is where you shine by showing patience and providing something of true value for free, while waiting for your selling opportunity to come. People are so darn tired of being sold on the internet, aren't you?

    Time to do something different and put dollars behind benefit.

    Pay to get things rolling.

    Spend $10 (or so) for 100 unique comments to your YouTube video from 100 different users.

    The more comments a video gets, the better and faster it ranks.

    Then if it's any good - the rest is viral.

    Use video on your oto (one time offer) sales pages.

    When I use video on my oto niche sites (when I'm not lazy) this typically doubles my sales conversions and you already know how profitable an oto can be for your business.

    Analyze what gets the most hits on youtube...you will realise its stuff like "funny videos" ("Woman falls on her nose etc..."....) ...not your average marketing sales-video.

    Its always good to get an idea about who actually the audience is..and then target your videos/product for that audience. Many people go to YT simple to laugh and getting entertained.
