Suggestions for Promoting through Youtube

**smashking** · 05-19-2008, 05:07 PM

Ok, I created a video for youtube in order to promote my site, and it has gotten me a few new members, but it really hasn't done much and I would like to get many more views. So I'm looking for some tips on how to get more views on youtube, and without spamming the link everywhere.

Also, the link to my video is below. I think it is ok for promotional purposes, but I'd be welcome to feedback. It is just the first video I've ever done.

Hi.

Nice video.

I'd take a look at your tags. You don't have many so you are probably missing out on lots of possible searches.

Try typing some of you current tags into youtube (eg SSBB) and see who is top of the lists. See what tags they are using and if they would fit your video add them to yours. Keep doing that until you have a large tag list

Cheers
Mike

Nice video! However I find it difficult to read the text. It disappears too quickly. You may prolong its time. Why not post in a blogs advertising the video.

Yes, change the text to become readable.

change the text and add new tags
also try adding your video link to other sites (video sites) as then might get you even more visits

Hi Smashking

I see you are promoting your site through utube.
Can I ask why?

Social networking, OK for social time, but I have deep reservations
about using social networking sites for business - that is if you are
serious about a career on the Internet.

Let me ask you a question - are you using a landing page/squeeze page
to attract potential customers and if not why not?

If you are attracting 'customers' from Social Networking sites and you then
email them with content or offers, you are in danger of being accused of
spamming. The safe way is to get double optin members and you do this with a landing page.

If you want more info. about landing/squeeze pages email me or look at an example of mine at www benchmark-ebooks.com
I'll be more than happy to try and help you
