<h1>Promoting on Youtube</h1>

Just some quick tips on promoting on Youtube. It can be difficult to know how to make a proper video, get loads of views, as well as loads of clicks to your links. But here are a few helpful tidbits of advice to get you going...


1) Keep your videos short, preferably 2 minutes or less if possible.

2) When you put in your referral or website link, put it at the very top and then leave 4 or 5 spaces before entering your description. Then at the bottom, 4 or 5 spaces below the end of your description enter your link once more. The reason for this is so when people first see your description, all they will be able to see is your link. Then, when they click the "more" button they are presented with a nice description and two very well presented links both at the top and the bottom. This will look very nice to your viewers as well as professional.

3) At the end of your video you want people to click your link(s) to the right. But at the end of every video the screen will turn black and recommend new related videos. How do you get past this without the viewer simply clicking someone else's video? Simple, you need to make a picture for when your video ends encouraging your viewers to click your link. You want to keep this picture here as long as possible. So it will go something like this: for 45 seconds your "Reel Them In" video will play. Then, for the last minute and 15 seconds your video will be finished and all that will be left is your own custom picture that says something like: "For more information click the link to your right! DO IT NOW!", Throw an arrow or two in there as well pointing to your links in the description.

4) VIDEO REPLIES - There a hundreds if not thousands of popular videos on Youtube getting loads and loads of views every day. So why not post a reply and piggyback off those videos for their views. This is definitely a great way to gain more views to your videos. Try to be the first to reply to some of these videos. People will then see the only reply for that particular video (yours) and you will get some exclusive traffic this way.

5) One way to make your video go viral is by getting lots and lots of comments. You can make a bunch of Youtube accounts and comment back and forth on your own video. You could literally do this for hours, making the video more noticed and possibly even viral.


Well other than that, use your imagination. I've given you five good ways to get traffic on Youtube. I'm sure you can think of a few more if you really rack your brain........Take care!
