Consider using your keywords in the videos title. This is
one of the main bits of information that YouTube and Google use to decide what
your video is about.
If your video is about another YouTuber then use their
username in the title, this may help your video show up more in their related
videos section.
Describe your video thoroughly. Most people ignore this
step, but you should take it seriously to increase your views. Describe your
video as accurately as possible in the space you are given, taking 2-3
paragraphs to write an interesting and precise description of what people can
expect when they see the video. This is another great opportunity to include your keywords and search terms for
a higher chance of your video being found.
Use the best tags. Use all of the keywords from your
title and description in the "tags" section to get more viewers
interested. The more relevant tags you use, the more often your video will pop
up when people search it. For example, if you're posting a video of your cute
sleepy dog, you could use words like "Sleepy," "Dog,"
"Hilarious," and "Cutest." Make sure you don't include
extra tags in the description, as those are not included when people search for
them.
You can use tags that describe your video as well as
other relevant popular videos to make sure that as many people as possible see
your video when they are searching YouTube.
Share your video as soon as you post it. The earlier you
share it, the more likely it will be to be a YouTube sensation. If you wait a
week to share it while it barely gets any views, it'll be much more likely to
be forgotten by the YouTube community. Remember, timing is everything. Think of
when your audience is likely to watch your video and release right before then
(evenings and weekends are a good suggestion).
Email your video to your friends, family, and coworkers.
Create an email list consisting of the people who know you well enough to be
actually intrigued by your new YouTube video, and send them the link and
encourage them to watch it. You can even add, "I can't wait to hear what
you think!" to show that you really expect them to watch your video. If
you don't care about potentially annoying people, just send it out to as many people
as you can.
If you have an intriguing subject and a persuasive email,
there's a good chance anyone will look at the video without even knowing you
very well.
Share your video through social media. Post your video on
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google Plus, and any other social networking
sites that you've joined. Ask your friends to like, comment on, and share your
post. This will help gain some traction on your video post and it may even go
viral.
Connect your Google Plus and Twitter accounts to your
YouTube. Then YouTube will be able to automatically share each new video you
upload. You can also use online automation sites like ifttt.com to post new
videos across all your social media accounts automatically.
Use a blog or a website to promote your videos. If you
have a blog or a website, you can use it to market your videos. If you don't
have a blog or website of your own but know friends with websites or blogs that
are popular, ask your friends if they can help you out by sharing your video
with their fans. Embedding your video on websites can help your video rank
higher in both YouTube and Google.
If your video is something news-worthy then consider
submitting your video to a news website like Mashable, if its accepted and
posted on a news site then you will be guaranteed to have many more views.
How to Get More
Views on Your YouTube Videos
Many people have become well-known, or even famous,
because of their YouTube videos.
1. Use good descriptions, titles, and tags.
2. Promote your video on social media, websites, and
blogs.
3. Use good editing. Add some music and include text
info.
4. Get subscribers. Ask for likes and shares, and create
playlists.
5. Consider buying views, but make sure that it doesn't
violate the Terms of Service.
6. Use third party sites with caution.
Name your video file accurately. This is a good place to
use specific keywords, or terms that people may type into YouTube search. If
you want people to find your video under the search term "funny things to
do with your lizard" then that should be the name of your video. This will
also help your video be found under the word "lizard" and term
"things to do with your lizard". Make sure you include all of your
keywords in the video file.
Give your video an appealing title. It should be short,
engaging, and to the point. If your video is about your kid spilling macaroni
and cheese everywhere, just call it "Mac and Cheese Disaster." It
should pique your viewers' interests without giving too much away.
