How to Use YouTube to Drive Massive Traffic? (Quick Tips)
Video is a stellar way to not only get fast traffic to your site, but highly interactive, engaging and targeted traffic to your site. Not to mention the residual benefits of it.
I just began to seriously engage in video marketing the beginning of this year and I've noticed that my audience responding well to it, so I thought I'd share some tips on what I've learned about driving YouTube traffic.
For YouTube to work effectively, there's a few things that you should do. I won't go into all the details, but here are some simple basics that have been working for me:
- Just focus on being yourself if your videos. Don't put on a fake front and expect people to flock to you, because they wont. People can smell phoniness from a mile away, even from behind a computer screen, so just BE YOU.
- You don't have to be a video production professional to do video. You can simply use a webcam or flip cam to record your videos. You can even use your Iphone or Android to record them. What matters the most is the content of your video rather than the quality. As long as the quality is decent and you can be seen and heard, go for it!
- As far as getting views and subscribers to your videos and channel, you can treat it just like you do blogging. You can contact other channel owners within your niche who already have lots of views and subscribers and ask to do a guest video on their channel. You can also do build a vlogging alliance and treat it the same way you would a blogging alliance.
- You can do video swaps, paid channel promotions for other channels to link back to your channel from their main YouTube page. You can even do JV YT giveaways with related channels, or a JV video series where each channel does a video about a specific topic over the course of several episodes and promote each others videos to their subscribers.
- You can simply embed your videos on your blog within your post to get more views (this is also good for decreasing your bounce rate).
- You can also cross promote your blog and your channel. Within your blog posts you can link back to your channel to encourage more people to subscribe and within your videos you can place a simple annotation that links back to your blog. Win, win!
How does these ideas sound to you? They've proven to be extremely effective for getting a windfall of YouTube traffic for me and others.
