YouTube good for list building?

How good is YouTube traffic for list building?

I have a bunch of videos I've sent out to my list in the past that I'm not using anymore so I'm planning to upload them to YouTube and drive some traffic to my squeeze page.

I was wondering how well does YouTube traffic convert? And are the subscribers buyers or only freebie seekers?

I've had some bad experiences with solo ad traffic and having only tire kickers on my list because of that that I want to make sure before getting really into it.

    You can build lists with any traffic, but you need to give them a good reason to leave their email. Incentives are a must.

    I like to use youtube as a way to convert my list into sales, not as a way to generate leads.

    What I like to do is send all of my paid traffic to a lead capture page to collect leads, then I email my list everyday with a video that I create everyday..

    I have used youtube as a way of generating traffic, but I personally like it best for turning already generated leads into sales..

    It works great for that actually....

  • If you are making a video where you are talking instead of some random video, it will definitely give your viewers a more "personal feeling" and hereby create a better relationship with your list.

    Personally I'm more likely to optin into a list if they are using video but as a lot of other things, it's personal preference.

    If you don't want freebie seekers, you should consider reworking your squeeze page to attract buyers instead, the problem shouldn't be YouTube.

    It's not a bad idea to have another way of generating traffic.. Your best bet is to rank your videos for your keywords so that when people punch it into google your video can stand out on the search which i think should work for you.

    Good luck bro

    Just do it. Youtube swims with traffic everyday. Just brainstorm on how to make your videos more socially appealing to enhance their prospects of being shared.

    The traffic is a high quality traffic since they've already been presold by the videos before clicking on the link to your site.

    I had some luck with Youtube for lead gen. Twitter generally works better for me, but YouTube is great for SEO. Either way, good YouTube videos will not harm you. Agree with previous comments about a solid landing page. Nothing else matters for the conversion.
