YouTube Marketing

You've finally recorded your video. Great. Now I'm sure you are wondering what's next? I mean it does you no good to have this informative video recorded that no one is going to see. Just because you have uploaded the video to YouTube doesn't mean you'll get any eyeballs. One good way to get traffic to your video is to use Twitter to draw attention to it. Here's some suggestions on how to do that.

When you first post your video, tweet about it. Just say something like, “Hi folks, I've just recorded a new video. It's at (put URL here). Check it out.” That's not too complicated. Just putting your video in your tweet stream will get some people watching it. One tip about this method, be sure to post this at least twice–once during the day and once at night. People are in different time zones. You want to make sure that you post it twice so that you catch as many people as possible.

Make sure you tell people to retweet your video. Basically retweeting is just Twitter speak for reposting. This is very important. Even though you might not have that many people in your Twitter network, it is important to tell people to retweet your link. People are always looking for interesting stuff to share with their Twitter network. When you remind people to retweet your link, they usually will. This is a great way for you to get your video in front of people you don't have access to just yet.

Videos are great tools to use to market yourself and your business. You have to make sure that you draw attention to your videos or you will have wasted your time. Twitter is one excellent way to get traffic to your videos. Now what are you waiting for? Start recording and tweeting!
