01 YOUTUBE TRAFFIC- INTRO
05 YOUTUBE TRAFFIC-COLLABORATE
YouTube traffic course is all about social media and to use social
media to boost your videos as well and to boost your channel.
There are quite a few social platforms out there, but I'm going to
concentrate on just two.
FACEBOOK
With Facebook, it is a little bit different because you don't want to
post your videos on Facebook directly, you don't want to use your
YouTube URL because it doesn't really like it when you put other
links on that. You can do this, it's not a problem but you won't get
as much traffic. The best way to do it is to actually upload your
videos to Facebook itself and then just have a link go into your
YouTube channel. This way you can tell viewers of your videos to
subscribe or take some other form of action you'll get seen more
by Facebook because you are uploading the video to them and
they will get to know your content.
To start with you could create a Facebook fan page and then you
could use your personal Facebook account to promote your
Facebook fan page and your YouTube channel. It is a little bit
difficult to use Facebook to promote your YouTube channel
because of what I said before. But rather you stayed on Facebook
and didn't try to pull people away. However it's definitely
something you should use in your marketing campaigns when it
comes to actually trying to get people to your channel and to
subscribe for you.
INSTAGRAM
Instagram is a very visual platform so therefore it's great for
things like YouTube videos. You can use Instagram as a kind of
branding tool. Don't just promote your videos, but promote
yourself and your brand as well. It’s very easy to do this and you
can upload things and put your URL into Instagram and get people
to follow through and go to your own YouTube channel, therefore
boosting your views and boosting your subscribers. Combining
Instagram, Facebook and YouTube altogether you'll have an
amazing way to get people to get to your channel.
YOUTUBE TRAFFIC- REDDIT
What is Collaboration?
In this particular case what we mean is that you should
collaborate with other YouTubers who have similar sized
subscribers or similar niches. This is almost like reaching out for
people that are influencers; these people that are in the market
that you want to be in and helping each other out. The reason we
say to go for similar sized subscribers in similar niches is because
you want to be able to help them as much as they can help you.
Also, if you go to someone with too many subscribers they're not
going to want to help because what's in it for them. And if you go
for some with not enough subscribers, this time you're the one
not getting any benefits. There is an exception to this rule and
this is if you provide fantastic content or have a skill that you can
leverage. If you can do this then pick on YouTubers that might
want to collaborate with you. The fact is if you can offer them
something they can't do they might give you that extra exposure
by including you on their channel.
You could also collaborate with other YouTubers to create a
network of videos that drive traffic to each other. This means you
could even use topics that you know you're both into or you could
even do it to get focused on the suggested videos. After a video
plays on YouTube it suggests other videos that the users might be
interested in.
If you can make sure that you're all doing the same sort of thing
there's a very good chance you'll get included and then you can
ride the coattails of other people and they could ride the coattails
of you. Before contacting these YouTubers it's always good to add
comments and just like, share and watch their videos. This way
they'll notice you and hopefully when you contact them they’ll
know who you are.
Another great place to go if you want to talk about YouTube is a
place called www.yttalk.com . This is a forum for YouTubers who
has all sorts of people talking about tips, tricks and all sorts of
things to do with YouTube and how to grow your channel. It is a
great resource and you can join it for free.
YOUTUBE TRAFFIC-COMMENTING
One of the main things that people see in YouTube when they're
searching is the thumbnail. When they get the search results it
shows a thumbnail of what the video is. So, I cannot stress enough
how important it is to have something that catches people's eyes.
But how do you create these?
Well by far the easiest and best way is with a free site called
‘www.canvas.com.’ It gives you everything you need to make
things thumbnails. It even gives you the correct sizes and all the
elements you'll need. All you need to do is sign up at
www.canvas.com and search for YouTube thumbnail.
This means you've got the correct dimensions and you also get
free thumbnails that you can use to edit and change to your
heart's content. A great tip is to brand this so that it looks like
yours all the time you can see your eyes pop out when people
search for stuff in YouTube.
Another great tip is to make sure that you create good content as
that's what makes videos go viral. Now don't worry if you're not
sure what great content is yet, just keep making videos because
you will get better. But what you want to do is create more and
more stuff so that you get used to it and eventually you'll get
better and better until it gets to the point where it comes as
second nature. You should also optimize your home page.
Now, when you create a channel you can edit it with things like;
1. A channel trailer
2. Featured channels
3. Featured videos and
4. Playlists
Have a mess around with this and see what works best for you.
You can add graphics to the top to make sure that is eye catching
and you can add all of your different social channels as well. All of
this helps it to stand out from people that haven't bothered. You
could email and text your subscribers.
One way to build an email list is actually on YouTube itself. Put
your link inside your video description where they can sign up for
some sort of freebie or maybe to be put onto some sort of
newsletter. Now, once you have these people on your list you can
then tell them when there's a new video is up. You can also create
email list outside of YouTube and then use that to drive people to
your channel to subscribe.
You can put links to other videos in your video descriptions. By
doing this you create kind of a video wheel where people see
what’s in your video, they like it and they click on another one of
your video links, they watch that and so on. This builds up your
view time and your amount of views on your entire channel. This is
great because this helps in the SEO as well.
PHYSICAL PROMOTION
Don’t forget good old physical promotion. Word of mouth,
business cards things like that. By promoting an offline you can
get people online to go to your YouTube channel. People forget
about this in this day and age of digital marketing, but there are
still many people that don't just go on YouTube for the sake of it.
You need to let them know you're there.
HAVE YOUR OWN WEBSITE OR BLOG
By having your own Website or blog and embedding on videos on
there or even putting links to watch your YouTube channel, you're
going to get a lot more views. All you need to do is make a post
based on something you've got and embed on YouTube video into
it. This will drive lots of traffic and also build your blog at the
same time.
Another great tip is to look for videos with lots of views and make
videos on similar topics. Now, maybe you're in the Internet
marketing niche in which case you can see what people's videos
are getting lots of views based on the reviews and things like that
and you can make something similar. Likewise, you can use the
search technique that we used in a different video to find related
topics and headlines to base your videos on.
You could also put pictures on Google Maps. When you visit
somewhere, you can put a picture up that people will view this
picture and you can put a link to your YouTube channel inside of
it. You'd be surprised how much traffic comes through Google
Maps and the images and reviews they do.
