Methods For More YouTube Views & Traffic
Youtube has an excellent potential for creating awareness about a brand, goods or services that a person offers. The challenge, however, is that there are thousands of videos existing on the platform and users keep on uploading more videos by the minute. Each of these users hopes to get views.
So how does one ensure his or her video is visible and attracting views or traffic?
The following is just tips for getting more views and traffic from YouTube.
Conduct research for your video channel
The secret to attracting plenty of views to your video is first understanding the viewers. Doing so requires research to determine the purpose of the video, the target audience, the content value the audience seeks, and where besides YouTube is the audience found. Armed with this information, you can brand your videos in a way
that it appeals to the targeted masses. A relatively easy method of researching is by analyzing Youtube videos with the most views or shares.
Create quality and timeless videos
When it comes to the web content is king. People see the videos because they hope to get value in the form of knowledge, entertainment or nourishment. For this reason, the content should be valuable, of good audio and video quality, nondiscriminatory, and one that cuts across religion, race and gender. It's amazing how many YouTubers upload videos that fail to meet such standards and wonder why their videos are not attracting views. Remember the easiest way to get more views is
when the video goes viral, and every one is sharing or tagging their friends. No one wants to share poor quality and boring videos.
Write engaging and detailed video descriptions
When you upload a video on Youtube, neither Google nor Youtube can watch or even
listen to it. Instead, they rely on the text a person used to describe the video to understand and even rank the video. Since Google uses the words in the video description to list it, it is only prudent for a person to provide a detailed description. After all, if you took your time to make the video and upload it, spending a few minutes writing it's story won’t hurt. Besides, with a better ranking, you get more views.
Optimize Your Video Keywords
Although it pays to have a good YouTube ranking, it is more rewarding if the classification extends to Google and search engine searches. It's obvious that many websites’ traffic comes from search engines like Google, which create page rankings depend mainly on the keywords used. Therefore, if you want more traffic to your video, consider using appropriate video keywords that will give your video an edge in the search engine results page. An easy way of identifying the video keywords is to discover the keywords used by other YouTube videos appearing on the first pages of the search engine, and then use those words in your video description.
Capitalize On Social Media Platforms
Social Media platforms are useful tools for getting the message out to the masses. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Quora, Whatapps, Instagram, Pinterest and many others are worth utilizing. Post links to your video on those platforms and even proactively ask the online community to view, like, comment and even share with their friends and relatives. However be careful not to spam the social media accounts of other users. Another idea is joining communities and forums dealing with issues your video addresses. To answer a member's question just offer insight and post the link to your Youtube video that provides detailed information.
