    Hi there,

    Have you tried posting it on social medias? I would suggest you make a page for your product or what you have been working on and post it there. If you have a great product it would surely invite a lot of traffic and people.

    Hope this suggestion helps!

      You haven't optimized your video for any key words. You need to know what people are looking for before you can optimize it for that. Unless people are looking for the name of the author, they are not going to find your video. I would do some research and see if people are looking for football coach or how to coach or star coaching system. Once you discover what people are looking for you can use those key words in your title and description. This will help your video get found by the YT search engine.

      You also used the audio track that came with Animoto. It might help to break it up a bit with your own voice over or other royalty free music.

      Here are some words that you might get some traffic for if they apply:
      football training drills

      football motivation

      football coaching drills

      youth football coaching drills

      Good luck!

    Video description is not very good. It doesnt have any index-able keywords.

    Video itself is not very good. It looks like what it is, a cheap $5 video. Also there is to much going on there. Its painful to watch , let alone trying to read the text. Much better would have been a simple testimonial.

    What have you dont to promote the video? Or did you just expect that people would start going to it on there own?

    If you want to have success with YouTube, first you need to have share-worthy videos. While the one you posted is decent quality, it's got to be share-worthy and that one just isn't. Second, you need to be posting a LOT of videos in order to receive a substantial amount of traffic. Stop focusing on how many views this video got, and checking your stats. Instead, work on posting more videos.

    • Thank you all for the help, tips and constructive criticism. I will work more on that. I am new to this and you know how that goes. I really appreciate it. I am fixing to go live on 2 sites, one being my namesake here and the other 5clickfreesoftware.com and I could link that and also create a page for it also. Thanks so much.

    I hope your youtube channel username isn't the same as it is here. Not trying to down you or anything, but kind of comes off as over promotional.

    So I disagree with a couple of the others on the quality of that video. It fits. I have several friends that are head coaches, younger ones for football basketball and baseball. They are into that kind of video and I guarantee the football coach I know would buy that as he is super competitive.

    So the problem you are having is simple, you need to get that video in front of other people. You should have a site setup not just a youtube page. The site should be a squeeze page with that video on it. Get their email for more info and I think you have a winner, you will need to promote it of course.

    That is easy in that market. I actually wish I was involved in it because it is so sellable to that type of person. I just don't know how many would be coaches are out there.

    Heres a quick get you started tip though. Get a username on every sports football forum you can, (high school and junior high preferred.) My buddies all hangout checking out the forums. Max preps, wapreps etc. Each state will have one. Then create a couple facebook fan pages, good ones. Start connecting with coaching groups with your profile and liking and commenting on coaching sites. ---make sure you know what your talking about though, do a little research---

    Good luck I think you have a winner.

    If you have a social media following for the industry that would be a great place to start for getting traffic. Share it with people it resonates with, seek out people on twitter that are looking for something like what you have and share the video with them.

    You might also post it on a fanpage, google+ or send to an email list. Get some traction going for it, and see what happens.
