Don’t make a video directly about your site.

It’ll just get around 20 views and it won’t do anything. Post videos on related topics and include your site at the end or start of the video (as a sponsor) and in the description, as well as on your channel page.

Make people want to watch your videos again.


This means making them funny, interesting, controversial or any combination of the three. You want people to add your video to their favourites and subscribe to your future ones. This is how most videos, except the ones that make it onto the front page, get most of their views.

If you have a microphone, use it.

No one’s going to sit through a windows media player slide show, but relay the exact same information to them with your voice, and the results are much better.

Build a circle of friends.

A few converting visitors to your site are better than 1000s who just click away, get talking to people and build up your friends list. In turn, these people may take interest in your site.

Choose topics and content which are already popular on YouTube to make videos about.

Providing you can relate them to your site, it’s better to choose a category which has pre-existing interest, I mean viewer interest rather than poster interest, similar to finding an unfilled niche when posting your site, it’s better to have lots of interest and little competition. You can check this by looking at other videos and their views and ratings, which brings me to my final point:

Do your research

You need to get YouTube savvy! Be a simple YouTube viewer for a while before you start posting, find out what works, what doesn’t. Where the interest areas are, and more importantly where they aren’t.

Camtasia may be too expensive for people stating out.

Try camstudio - similar but free.

You could also try to make your story split into sections. Don't give away everything in just one blow so that they would keep coming back to your site. If you have something to give then people will be intrigued and crave for that. Making them follow you in the process.

Great Content :-)

Thank you very much...

It's also a good idea to not only post your business link or affiliate link for people but to put your twitter link so people can get to know you alittle more...

The more they know about you the more they'll like you and trust you (Hopefully :-)

Now we have our flashy new camera and can post more videos in high res I've noticed a fast increase in subscribers to the youtube account.

It's obvious now we messed up early on with the Pandora videos by posting across several accounts, if we had stuck to one we would have more subscribers, more views and more promotion via youtube.

Youtube videos are the main place that gets linked and brings new interest in the project, and it isn't just all emo kids, some really good contacts and developers have discovered the Pandora via youtube.

The main way we get noticed is if we post a video and get a lot of hits in that first day, that climbs in to the top 100 videos and that in turn gets more hits, that gets news sites interested and more publicity for the Pandora scene.

Very good information in this thread. I filmed a hailstorm that hit us recently...and it brought quite a few visitors to our YouTube Channel where my other videos were. But I do post videos everywhere I can, not just on YouTube.
