YouTube is a highly successful video-sharing platform that has churned out its fair share of fame. However, a lot of YouTubers have discovered that it takes more than just uploading videos to get more views on YouTube. It can become quite frustrating to realize that it doesn't work like magic and many quickly become frustrated in their attempt to get more views on YouTube. Now don't despair; here's a list of helpful tips and tricks that you can use to drive more traffic to your videos than you can ever imagine. Make sure you follow these advices the next time you upload your videos and you'll see staggering results in no time at all.

Plan and organize your stuff and do some research on other videos similar or related to the kind you're planning to create. Think of it as finding the best and most successful works to use as a model. Sort them, study them and come up with better ideas.

Create controversial and compelling video contents. It's one of the proven effective ways to get more views on YouTube.

Keep your videos short and sweet. Less than five minutes is ideal; anything longer can get boring. In fact, if you make it very short., say 60 seconds, and the videos are really great; there's a good chance that people will watch them twice or even more just to check that they didn't miss anything.

Be sure to always watermark your videos with your website's URL or your logo, which you can easily do with any of the available video editing software.

Be creative and add a wealth of metadata (tags, titles, descriptions and other relevant items) to your video. YouTube is pretty clever, so don't just get contented with the usual random popular tags. Be smarter.

Don't forget to add the URL of your website or blog in the areas for description of your videos and make sure you include a "call to action message" like "subscribe now!"; "visit for more awesome videos"; or any action that can redirect them to another video. This will ensure that you get more views on YouTube not just for one video but for all your videos.

Incorporate the keyword "video" in your tags and especially in your titles as most viewers are likely to use the word in their search on Google. Try to use catchy phrases - if your video is a tutorial, make use of the words "How To", "Guides", and even "Tutorial". If it's a review or comparison, you may want to add "Compared", "vs" or "Review"

Call viewers' attention by using interesting and powerful thumbnails; as over 70% of views come from similar or related videos.

Maintain an up-to-the-minute channel as often as possible. Your chances of people coming across your video increases as you upload more videos; be ready with the possibility that people will eventually subscribe to your channel

Upload videos that are worth watching and allow people to make comments, rate and embed your videos on their sites and blogs.

These are but just some tips and tricks you can use to get more views on YouTube and increase traffic to your website. If you want to learn more, it's a smart move to get a mentor; or maybe join some free online course on how you can get more views on YouTube.
