YouTube Marketing Tips
Ever since Youtube became one of the biggest hits on the Internet, marketers have been trying to figure out how to leverage the power of Youtube to boost their marketing efforts. While online video marketing is still an evolving field, many marketers have had some success marketing on Youtube by following a relatively simple formula.
One basic model for marketing in Youtube is described below.
- A marketing video is uploaded to Youtube. While some of this video content is new, some marketers just download then re-upload content that already exists on Youtube.
- A clickable URL will be included inside the video description.
- The video will often include a watermark of a URL. Typically, at the beginning or end of the video, another screen will display the URL
So does this strategy work? Yes, but not that well from what I’ve seen. The most popular viral videos usually are not business-related, involving Susan Boyle or clips from comedy shows. I do see many marketing oriented videos, however, in most cases they get a few hundred views and seem to struggle to get an audience.
If you are interested in trying out Youtube marketing strategies, consider these little known strategies to get more views to your videos.
- Use your video to make a “video response.” Not many people seem to use this, but you can actually post your video as a response to another video. One good way to benefit from this is by searching for videos that are receiving a lot of view, and post your clip as a video response to the already popular video. Needless to say, the video response needs to be relevant. If your video response is approved, then you can expect a nice boost in traffic.
- Develop links to the page on Youtube that has your video. Getting more views will raise the rankings of your videos, and one way to achieve this is to promote your videos by creating links to them, in the same way that you would create links to a regular webpage.
A small number of people are making a good deal of money using other tricks marketing on Youtube. For more information, visit the following page on Youtube Marketing Strategies.
