Best way to promote a YouTube video on Facebook?

by Bruno Rodrigues

Hi

What is your experience with promoting YouTube videos on Facebook? In this particular case, music videos.

Do you share the YouTube link directly or you think a short video teaser with a link and "learn more" button to YouTube is better?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

    I usually follow the second option and it does works good for me. Besides the first option where you share your youtube video directly doesnot give much traffic.

    How long should the video teaser be?

    Take this information in consideration, if the video is less than 30 seconds when you play it it will loop until you stop it or click the "read more" button, if it's more than 30 seconds it will play until the end and then stop, showing the "read more" option.

      It would probably be best to have around 15-20 seconds of video that then stops and displays a "read more" button

        A video teaser for sure would work better, curiosity helps to get more people to see what the original video is all about.

        The thing is videos lead to less clicks on link than sharing the YouTube link, for example. But I guess I can compensate that with a little boost focused on clicks.

    Join groups related to your niche. If you are into music, check up on big music groups, join them and promote your video right there. You never know. If people like it, you might see it go viral right there.

    Before posting ANYTHING... make sure your target audience is gonna see the post. It's ineffective if you just post because the right audience might not pick it up. Find groups, pages etc. related to your genre, and even pages liking people of similar musical quality... I don't know your genre but I'm sure you can think of some artists. People that like their stuff may also like yours. So find these pages and join them. Then introduce a teaser. And in the description and/or pinned comment just make sure you ask people to share if they liked it. Really simple but gets a lot more views.

    I have used both these methods. But I realized that a catchy teaser with a link and "learn more" button not only looks organized but also works better.

    I tried both ways, and the video is more appealing yes, but receives much less clicks than sharing the YouTube link directly (1/3 the clicks maybe). :/

    I used to post direct link of my video on my Facebook page and groups.
    I also post on relevant FB groups and pages.

    A little teaser and the link works OK for me Bruno but what works really well is to share other user's YouTube videos on Facebook. These folks dig your generosity, befriend you, and share your videos on FB and other networks, expanding your reach.

    Keep giving, and expecting nothing in return, and the getting becomes easier and easier.
