Ready, set… action! So you’ve made an awesome video, uploaded it to YouTube and now you want the whole world to see it. This isn’t an easy task, but here are some tips to make your YouTube video go viral.
1. Homemade is fine
You don’t need to hire a professional, a homemade quality video can work just fine. But, make sure to plan ahead and shoot several times to get the highest quality video.
2. Keep your video short and concise
Try to keep your video short. Although YouTube will accept a video that is 10 minutes or less, try to keep the video around 2-3 minutes. Any longer, and your audience will lose start to lose interest.
3. Make your video description clear and specific
Make sure your text description on YouTube is accurate and interesting. Using description keywords and specific language will ensure that people will find it when searching for videos like yours.
4. Tell all your friends
Every time you post a video that’s relevant for general sharing, blog about it, tweet it or add it to your Facebook Page. Create links to your video from your home page and products pages. In addition, don’t shy away from allowing embedding of your videos on other sites.
5. Send your video to bloggers
Sending a link to the video to bloggers or commenting on other people’s blogs (including a link to your video) is a good way to build an audience.
All of these tips will help make your YouTube video an Internet sensation. But, don’t forget to check out the free YouTube analytics data. By clicking the “Insight” button on the video, you will be able to view stats, demographics, community and the most useful – “discovery” data, or how the user came across the video.
