Do you enjoy uploading videos to YouTube? If so, you might be satisfied receiving all of the traffic that you can get. YouTube is known to get thousands of visitors a day, if not millions. For you, this means that your YouTube videos may be watched by that many people each day or more! Now, as much traffic as YouTube brings you and your videos, you may be looking for even more. You might want to learn more ways to market your YouTube videos. Here are just a few of the many marketing approaches that you can take below:
Tell the world
Perhaps, the easiest way to market your YouTube videos is to let friends, family members, or coworkers know that you have videos available for viewing on YouTube. For the best chance of success, you are advised to email the direct links for your YouTube videos to those that you know. If you just happen to mention having your videos on YouTube to a friend in passing, let them know what your videos are about or what your YouTube screen name is. YouTube allows site visitors to browse through all of your videos or to search for something in particular, like one of your videos.
Place Videos on Blogs
Another one of the many ways that you can market your YouTube video is by having any of your videos appear on any websites or blogs that you have. What is nice about YouTube is that you can easily get the HTML codes to enable anyone to post or embed a YouTube video online. It is not uncommon for bloggers to insert a YouTube video in their blog, by using those embedded HTML codes.
It is still best that you post your own YouTube videos on your own websites, but if you know of anyone else who has a blog, you may want to think about giving them the needed HTML codes to have your YouTube video appear on their blog. In most cases, you will find that even strangers are willing to do so, as long as your YouTube video is connected, in one way or another, to their blog or website.
Place Videos on Message Boards
You can also market your YouTube videos on online message boards. For instance, there are a large number of online message boards that let you discuss and share anything in general on the message board topic with other board members. You may want to think about some posting links to some of your YouTube videos, especially if you think that the other members would enjoy watching them. If you belong to an online message board or forum that allows you to have a signature, make full use of this. Your signature will always appear at the end of each of your messages; and therefore, the more active you are online, the more exposure your YouTube videos are likely to get. This is the same as forum marketing.
Now that you know a few ways that you can go about marketing your YouTube videos to other internet users, you may be wondering exactly why you should. As it was mentioned above, YouTube, alone, is the most capable in generating thousands of viewers for your videos. If you are looking for more views, whether just to increase your online popularity or to help you get new clients, you will want to take the time to market your YouTube videos. What is nice is that you have a number of different methods available, including those mentioned above, and most are free. In fact, marketing your YouTube videos to other internet users isn’t only free, but it is easy to do. All it takes is some investment of your time.
The decision as to whether or not you want to further market your YouTube videos is yours to make. If you find yourself unsatisfied or unhappy with your current YouTube viewership, you may want to think about doing more of your own marketing by following the tips above.
