How to Promote Your YouTube Video and get More Views
If you make YouTube videos, chances are that you want as many eyes on them as possible. However, in the increasingly crowded world of YouTube, things are tougher than ever. Hopefully, these five tips will make things a little bit easier for you.
Write Catchy Titles ; Produce Eyecatching Thumbnails
As we said, the world of YouTube is majorly competitive. You have a fraction of a second to catch somebody’s attention. Make use of it.
Come up with catchy, but descriptive, titles for your videos.
Create compelling thumbnails.
Look at all the big players on YouTube. You will notice that they all follow a similar format when it comes to titles and thumbnails. It works.
Search Engine Optimization
YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. This means SEO for YouTube is just as important as SEO for Google.
You will already be halfway there with catchy titles. However, make sure that you come up with a quality description for your video (ensure that it is accurate), and don’t forget to take advantage of keywords, etc.
You can also gain a bit of ranking on YouTube by drawing in views and encouraging people to like and subscribe (again, the big guys do this for a reason). YouTube wants to show off the best content, and the best content (in their eyes) is the ones that cause people to engage with it.
Share Your Video On Social Media
Whenever you produce a new video, stick it up there on social media. Share it with the world. Twitter. Facebook. You name it.
The more social media platforms your video ends up on, the more chance there is of people discovering it and, hopefully, finding your video. They may even end up sharing the content with the world!
Create YouTube Playlists
Research has shown that YouTube playlists get promoted a lot more often than single videos. So, why not build up some YouTube playlists? Make sure that the videos are closely related to one another.
Blog
Again, this is all about ensuring that you have as many routes to your video as possible. Why not blog about it? It is easier than ever to set up a free blog. Every time you create a video, make a blog post. Promote that blog post. If you are lucky, you will not only be found in YouTube search, but in Google (and other search engines) searches too.
Promoting a YouTube video and getting views when you are a newbie is difficult. It may seem like an uphill battle. However, keep plugging away. Produce quality content and release it regularly. Those views will come.
