That's the list of ideas I have for How to videos and if I were to post them or some of them, how could they garner alot of views on YouTube? Obviously its tough doing so but how to do other YouTube channels manage to get a good amount of views. I am not just talking about the biggest YouTube celebrities but they're other people who aren't in the top 200 most subscribed or viewed channel who manage to get alot of views, you know just regular people. How could I get my YouTube videos to be more viewed and more popular if I do post them on the site?

Answer 1

First. Forget number 4,6,7,8,17,18 (or anything else illegal). You could get youself in trouble.



Getting your channel/video's viewed is all about content, presentation and networking.



To get views you need:

a) Good content.

And/or:

b) Good 'tag' words. The more the better (Youtube dose have an upper limit on the number though).

c) A good video description.

d) A good network of friends and subscribers.

e) Getting 'Likes'.

f) Don't forget to 'Share' your video's and 'Post a Bulletin' to your friends.

g) Video respond with your videos.



So, good content is the hard one. There are no rules, but try to be original, or stick to a theme, or both. Here's an example. Have a look at this:

http://www.youtube.com/user/EbensR4Real

The trick is to engage your viewer from the start, and keep them watching till the end. Hard to get your video 'Liked', if it's not watched in total.



Tagging your video with as many of the right words is very important. People find your video's with these 'Tags'. Use many tags.



Always do a full, and detailed description of your video (this will help when Google 'crawls' for videos). Provide links as needed.



Make friends. Reach out to other similar channels, and [Add Friend]. Offer Sub4Sub to increase your subscribers.



Double check your editing (smooth transitions, clean/even audio, ECT) before uploading. Sloppy editing on your videos, effect your chances of getting 'Likes'. Remember too 'Like' your own video (people in your network will see this, and be only one click away from watching your video).



After uploading:

Use the [Share] button, to put your video's on FaceBook/Twitter/MySpace/ETC.

On your channel, use the [Post Bulletin] to send your video (with a message) to all your friends.



Post video response to your own video's. Seach for videos similar to your own, and then post your video's as a response.



Multiple views:

Thought should be given to your channels appearance (back ground, colour scheme, play list's, profile wording, ect). A nicely designed channel will encourage your visitors to stay and watch more video's.



Also:

If you visit random pages and comment. People will see your avatar (one click, and there at your page), and have a link to you. Be careful of spamming. Some people get very upset.



Hope this helps

Answer 2

Probably because no one else views it, or perhaps it's the same amount of people viewing, like the same users. Or could be your internet connection. But if the views are the same, then no one new has viewed it yet.

Answer 3

SO I guess you must be needing views and subscribers eh?



Methods to get FREE YouTube Views-------->>>





1-Make a good quality video through a high definition camera, if you do it for professional use.

2-Choose topics to create videos on which are bound to be popular or maybe you could be the first one to start on a new topic.

3-Create a email list and tell all of your contacts to check out your video ( Whether they are your friends and family, or business clients if you do it for business purposes)

4-Try to use content targeted keywords and put as many appropriate tags as you can.

5-Email your friends and family about your videos.

6-Share it with your friends on social networking sites like facebook, twitter etc.

7-Post it on Digg, StumbleUpon.

8-You could put it on your blog, or tell your friends to put it on theirs.

9-Make people aware of your video through online forums likes www.digitalpoint.com where there is free review service for everything

10-You could post it on sites where you refer others and get free views.

11-Put in eye-catching thumbnails

12-Make the videos short(precise) and up-to the point so that more n more people watch it.

13-Get YouTube friends or do the sub4sub thing (Do it once in a while so that it's not spam)

14-Place in nice thumbnails ( meaning put in the most thrilling part of your video at the half so that it's attracting to people.

15-Tell as many people as you can, spread the video as much as you can.

16- Add in RELATED Video responses which have many views, but not just to make yours famous.

Only do this if your video is related..



The free methods may be good for fun purposes but not enough when it comes to business,

I don't only rely on these ways as they would get you some traffic but they won't be sufficient and won't make you go viral.

So you could choose some paid methods. Believe me, I have myself tested upon these and completely satisfied when REAL certified people watch my videos.

Those whom I'll recommend are reliable and offer you money back guarantee. Plus they are the cheapest suppliers in the market and I guess they are people who really control the whole market.

And for YouTube Partnership Program, it's totally safe as I myself have made money and never got banned, so they must be in accordance of YouTube TOS.

And mind you these are REAL people watching your videos and that's how you get your channel/video promoted..



PAID METHODS that I have tried





1- The most recommended site of mine would be http://www.viewsguru.com



This site has cartooned faces, so I was a bit shaky to use their services.

And when it all ended well I couldn't stop praising



2- A friend of mine searched on YouTube how to "buy youtube views" and ended up with this site.

It's fantastico!



3-While browsing I accidentally came across this site http://www.youtube0views.net !

And co-incidentally I had to order so I just trie a small package at first but when I was satisfied, then I gave them big orders like 250K+ Views in two-three days and they were completed before the deadline.

They're just pro man!



4- Get this software from http://www.TubeToolbox.com/Upgrade.aspx?…



It's a program that send people invites, makes YouTube views, they have a network of people who use their services and watch, like, comment on each others videos.

Plus it also has a free trial if you want to see how it works.

But trust me their pro version's worth the upgrade.





You know why I buy heavy campaigns because it's really very beneficial for my business, as these viral plans get me YouTube honors which is an attempt from me to increase our reputation.





Moreover you can monetize your videos thru YouTube partnership program or revenue sharing or even AdSense etc, but the best way is to buy YouTube views from these sites.

As that would just be a step towards your YouTube partnership program.

The money you sow will soon reap.

For YouTube Partnership Program I guess you may need 100K Views on your video and 8K Subscribers on your channel..



Hope it helps!
