How To Get views on Your Youtube Videos
Source: Uploaded by user via Larry on Pinterest
One of today’s most common places to gather income and traffic is YouTube. This is a great site to earn some extra income and/or drive traffic to another site that a person owns. YouTube has been around for years and gains more popularity every year. The concepts to turn YouTube into income are fairly straightforward, however the deeper concepts that lead to further success just keep going and going.
The first step is a video. This may seem like an oversimplification, but it is not. There is difference between a video and a video that is going to get traffic. Taking the time to make a great video is the first key to using YouTube as a tool for income. Make use of software that is available to either create the video or to make it more exciting. If you are recording a video, then make sure that the quality is high. Do not use any copyrighted material as YouTube will pull your video and this can cause you to lose subscribers quickly.
Once your video is in place, make sure that the description for both the video and for your subscriber account are clear, exciting and have any links to websites that you may wish to increase traffic to. Also, be sure to watch the comments and respond quickly and nicely to any questions and/or comments.
Use your other networks to start your base traffic. Social sites are a great place to build a small traffic base that can lead to much more traffic in the future. One thing to make sure never happens is the use of temporary accounts. What this means is if there is a possibility that an email address might not be valid for you in the future then use a different email. It is very frustrating to lose access to income because a domain expired or an email disappeared.
The key is to create subscribers and not just the occasional visitor. One great video is fine, but a continuous stream of high quality informative videos creates followers and subscribers. If you promise an upcoming video, then either deliver or communicate why you have not done so. The Internet is a big place and you can lose an audience quick.
That being said, do promise upcoming information. Make people want to subscribe and come back by exciting them about what is next. The excitement of here and now fades quickly. Do not be afraid to say the words, ask people to subscribe, tell them to subscribe. The biggest failure in sales today is the inability to ask for the sale. If you want someone to do something, then ask!
Always be closing, always be positive and always assume that people are going to be subscribing. Use phraseology such as “Once you have subscribed…” The ultimate best traffic generation method involves an active conversation. Arrange events where you and your potential subscribers will be online at the same time. Announce a new video coming out and use online meeting software to host the “grand opening.” This puts you in active control of your audience, not chasing them through emails and comments.
In the end, each YouTube video is a chance to make dreams come true. Take active control, be assertive. Tell people to come back when the next video is ready. Constantly be on the Internet, new sites every day and invite people to come see your videos. Every time you tell someone about what you are doing, you increase your chances for success. Make YouTube your tool and use it as such.

Great points Larry. I’ve done a few videos on YouTube and some of them are doing pretty well and are even sending me traffic. What I haven’t done is try to build a subscriber base. That is something I have to work on.
Hi Sire, I have a few channels out there. One of them have have over 2000 subscribers.
I think the real secret to getting subscribers is having a unique niched out channel. My martial arts stuff, i can’t help but to get people to subscribe. My work @home stuff is much more difficult..

Hi Larry,
I think having a great video is key. I haven’t really tried to get subscribers on YouTube, but with a good video (and good videos on a regular basis) you will attract at least some subscribers naturally without you having to do anything.
Unfortunately on YouTube I’m seeing a lot more of what I classify as “video spam” which is something I think Google will have to address somehow in the future. Lots of videos that are like 10 seconds long and basically just show an image or something telling people to click the link below to visit a website. I’ve even seen courses teaching this.
The sad thing is these types of videos are still able to rank extremely high for whatever keywords the people use in the Title and Description. To me it’s just like spamming the crap out of blog comments or profile links. Throwing up a bunch of crap just to get a link.
And the fact these type of videos still rank high makes it all the more appealing for people to do.
Thanks Larry for sharing this awesome. Planning to try it out, and looking forward for more great post from you.
