Almost all video makers are eager to get their video noticed on YouTube. Whether the video is showing of a talent, promoting a blog or website, or even directly promoting an affiliate offer, everyone is competing to get a high YouTube search ranking position.
There are several elements that can affect your video from getting a good ranking, the main one being lack of video views. Here are some tips to help you to increase your views:
1. Ensure that your video is as entertaining as possible and gets to the point.
There is nothing worse that a video that takes 10 minutes to tell you 2 minutes worth of information.
2. Ensure that you add a good description & good keywords to your video.
YouTube has its own keyword checker tool, so that you can target popular keywords, but be careful not to stuff in too many irrelevant keywords, remember less is more. Always add a good catchy description, part of your description shows up in search & can entice the searcher to click on your video as opposed to a competing video.
3. Add annotations to your video, asking viewers to comment, vote & share if they like your video.
Annotations are great, but again, less is more, only 1 annotation is needed to get your message across to the viewer.
4. Post your YouTube video on to your Facebook Page.
If you have a comedy video, friends will be inclined to share it with others, creating a viral effect.
If you follow the tips above, you will be doing almost everything you can to increase the success rate of your video. I say almost, as there is also another method of gaining more views, which is a pay for service.
Paying for video views is not new, however a majority of these services in the past offered 'robot' views, which YouTube no longer counts. There are now services that will add your video to their high traffic websites, so that all views are from real people, which count toward your total view count. These services start from $2 per video & can be a good way to kick start your video views & improve your search ranking.
