How to Increase Views of Your YouTube Videos




Video marketing is a great way to get your message out to your prospects, leads and customers. Internet users like the aspect of multimedia in video and search engines like them, well, because people like them. YouTube is the biggest video sharing site so if you're doing any form of video marketing, you must have a YouTube channel. Here are some tips to get more hits to your YouTube videos.

Do the proper keyword research. Search engines look for content. If your videos don't have a relatable title or description, chances are they may not be found or if they are found, they won't be seen. Create a good title from your keyword research and then write a nice description with related keywords. No spam!

Use social book marking services such as Digg or StumbleUpon. These sites are popular places for you to bookmark your content whether it's a blog, video or other type of online real-estate. The more users that like your content, the higher your video will get in the rankings creating more hits. I would do a search for the top book marking sites for 2011 to find the most visited sites.

Market your videos using article marketing. I see a lot of internet marketers marketing their blogs using articles but most don't understand is that sites like You tube are already seen by the search engines as authority sites so it's much easier to create links to videos and get them ranked in the search engines than it is to rank a relatively new blog. That's not to say you shouldn't be marketing your blog, it's important to get your content ranked as well but if you're not marketing your videos I would have to say that you're losing valuable search engine traffic.

Create valuable videos. No one is going to share your video if it lacks substance. If you're in the network marketing niche, educate people on how they can get more leads for their business or how they can get more traffic to their website. If you sell pottery, give people tips and other information on pottery. Doing this will increase the possibility of your videos getting shared and even going viral.

Video marketing is one of the most powerful forms of internet marketing and if done correctly and consistently, you can receive more hits to your videos and more traffic to your website.
