5 Ways To Use Your Social Networks To Promote Your YouTube Videos

June 29, 2014 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

YouTube is a free and easy way to upload videos on the web that anyone can see. Getting a lot of people to view those videos is the hard part. Even though YouTube gets billions of unique visitors every month, some videos on YouTube have no views while others have less than 10 views. For a long time, I noticed a common trend with my YouTube videos: I was not getting a lot of views. I was able to get 20-35 views every day, but I knew that was not enough. When I looked at these statistics, I became committed from that point on to getting over 3,000 views on YouTube every month. It’s a starting point which will allow me to expand on YouTube.

In order to get these extra views, I went to the same source that made this blog popular: my social networks. Using my social networks to promote my YouTube videos had a big impact on the views, likes, and subscribers my channel received. Having 100,000 readers did help, but the main concept of using social networks is to reach out to the audience that you already have. These are the five ways that you can promote your YouTube videos on your social networks.

Tweet about your YouTube videos at least four times every day. There’s nothing bad with tweeting a lot of content every day. On a typical day, I send out 90 tweets. No one seems to be bothered by it, and ever since I sent out that many tweets every day, I have been getting more engagement for those tweets and followers. As you upload more YouTube videos, you should also consider tweeting about five of your YouTube videos every day. The more the better, but it needs to be consistent.
Pin your YouTube videos on Pinterest. On Pinterest, you have the option of pinning your YouTube videos on specific boards based on specific aspects of your niche. This allows you to specialize your YouTube videos and allow the ideal people in your targeted audience to see those videos. If you include an annotation in your video that allows people to subscribe to your channel by clicking the annotation, you will be able to get more YouTube subscribers right from Pinterest.
Use a Facebook Page to promote your YouTube videos. Facebook is a social network that encourages oversharing. If you have a good YouTube video, people will be very likely to share that video. All it takes is the click of a button, and someone has shared your video with 20% of their friends. Then, as more people continue to share your video, it will go viral on Facebook and ultimately lead to thousands of views in a matter of hours.
Use GooglePlus To Promote Your YouTube Videos. GooglePlus and YouTube are both Google products that have a big impact on where you appear on Google’s search engine. Using GooglePlus to promote your YouTube videos will give your videos an edge on Google’s search engine.
Let’s not forget about YouTube as a social network! Many people forget that YouTube is a social network as well. People can comment on your videos, and you can respond to those comments just like any social network. At the end of all of your YouTube videos, you can promote six of your related YouTube videos. This will allow you to grab your viewer’s attention for a longer period of time.

Those are the five ways you can use social networks to promote your YouTube videos. Just by promoting my YouTube videos on my social networks to a small extent, I was able to get 50% more views for my videos. While I will easily be able to get 1,000 views this month, I envision myself following the same tactics and eventually getting 3,000 monthly views before the end of the year. In addition to promoting your YouTube videos with your social networks, it is also important to connect all of those social networks together in one of the greatest strategies of marketing known as Circular Viralocity.

Most people focus on getting returning blog visitors and returning customers. While it is good for anyone to return, less people focus on getting returning viewers on YouTube. Returning viewers on YouTube will be more likely to share the videos on your channel every time. In addition, they will also watch your videos for a longer period of time. As these people promote your channel, others will learn about your videos and recommend them to your friends. This is ultimately how most channels and videos end up going viral. Since getting returning viewers is critical towards your success on YouTube, you need to implement these 6 tactics to get more returning viewers for your videos.

Have a professional 1-3 second introduction. Don’t jump right into what your video contains without including a professional introduction. Having a professional introduction automatically makes your video better. It gives people an idea of what will be in your video, and a professional introduction will make you look more professional too. The professional look will build on your credibility which is always important to get more of.
Have a strong intro after the professional 1-3 second intro. All you have to do for the strong introduction is briefly tell everyone who you are. Just mentioning your name is good enough. Even if you already said your name in 20 videos, keep on saying it. Some of your viewers will have no idea who you are until you say your name. As the viewer hears you say your own name more often, your name becomes glued into the viewer’s mind.
Make sure you are publishing quality videos. Publishing quality videos are really important. The professional 1-3 second introduction completely grabs the viewer’s attention. In order to grab their attention for the duration of your video, your video needs to be really good.
Get more people to subscribe to your channel. There are several ways to get people to subscribe to your YouTube channel, and I highlighted 20 of them in an older blog post. Subscribers get notified every time you come out with a video which means these people are the ones who will be very likely to become returning viewers.
Have a remarkable story. Remarkable stories always help out, and in some cases, having a remarkable story may allow you to go viral. These are some ideas to help you come up with your own remarkable (but true) story.
Have a strong conclusion. For this strong conclusion, you need to sum up everything you said in the entire video. After that, tell the viewer that you hope that your video served them. If you think of a good punchline to use at the end of all of your videos, then use it before you stop recording.

By getting returning viewers, your YouTube videos will become and look very popular. The popularity of your YouTube videos helps decide whether someone will view your video or not. Most people tend to view very popular videos, and by getting your viewers to become returning viewers, your YouTube videos will be more attractive to potential viewers.

One Powerful Way To Produce Higher Quality Videos

Videos are more important than ever, and I believe that videos have the potential to be game changers for any business. However, too many people are ignoring one method that will allow them to produce higher quality videos.

All you need to do is create an outline for your video. The outline should highlight everything that you want to talk about in your video. What do you want to tell your viewers? What tidbits of information do you need to include? What examples and testimonials do you want to talk about? The best way to get all of this information into one video with few retakes is by writing an outline.

In addition, you should put this outline somewhere you can see it while doing the video. You can put the video directly above the camera you are using or on a wall that no one can see. You don’t have to memorize the outline you create. You just need to see the outline while doing the video.

This tactic will allow you to say everything that you want to say and not blank out when you are recording the video. Give your viewers your best by taking the time to create an outline for your videos. With an outline, your videos will become longer and get more views.
