11 You Tube Video Tips For Maximum Results

I recently read that 50% of all online traffic is coming from online videos. That is pretty staggering when you think about it.

Here are 11 tips on how you can create and market your You Tube video to get better results.

1. Submit your videos to other social sites besides You Tube. These could include Twitter, Facebook, Stumbleupon, and Digg. Post it on your blog as well. Said a mailing out to your email list and invite them to visit your blog and watch the video and leave comments.

2. Make your videos professional. Do not cut corners on sound and edit them so they are presentable. This should include lighting and color that is easy on the eyes.

3. Keep your videos brief and to the point. I am not going to sit thru a 10 minute video and neither are most of your viewers. Get to the point and then wrap it up. You can say a lot in a 2-3 minute video.

4. Just as in blogging find ways to make your videos unique. This should include humor, controversy and really useful information that is not recycled from other people's videos.

5. Use your You Tube video to brand yourself and your internet business. Include your website logo, and your website url in the beginning, in the text, and at the end. Videos really give you a great chance to come across as an expert on what your video is about.

6. Before you tape it live practice it a few times. This will give you confidence because you know exactly what you are going to say. Never create a video on the fly.

7. Think about creating a series of videos on one theme. This can bring people back to watch more of what you have to say. It also will help you break your video into smaller portions so you can really stay on message for each one.

8. Get search engine benefits by incorporating targeted keyword phrases into the title of your video. You should build a keyword list and know what you are trying to rank highly for. Search engines love to rank videos on their search results for fresh and unique content.

9. Ask your viewers to leave comments. This helps you engage them and you can see what they think. Do not be afraid to delete really negative comments.

10. Track your hits by using You Tube Insights to see who is watching your video and where they are coming from. Just as analytics are helpful on your website and blog they can tell you a lot about your Video.

11. Have fun. Do not swear or use inappropriate actions in any way. Do not offend people when you are having fun with off color jokes or comments.

These are 11 ways the experts create You Tube videos and market them to build their internet business. If you are not using video you need to start today!
