subject: How To Get (a Lot Of) Views On Youtube! - Some Techniques And Strategies [print this page] There are many techniques on how to get views on YouTube - a lot of views for your video. Aside from having high quality video, it must also be coupled with some YouTube Search Engine Optimization. This process has worked for many, and will undoubtedly work for you, too.
A good way to start is by creating tutorial videos. Making tutorial videos almost always yield positive results as they are what most people love watching. It could be as simple as how to make paper origami, or how to mend (something), and many more topics that people may need help with.
Another strategy you should consider is to post video responses. Make sure you post a response to a video that's already garnering a lot of hits and gaining popularity with tons of views; and most important of all, it should be related to your own video.
People who read your posted response will most likely get interested to watch your video. That means additional hits on your video!
The next thing to look into is the "Haters". Some people may make harsh comments about your video. You should try to avoid them. Avoiding does not necessarily mean that you have to block the comments; just remove them or mark them as spam. When you say avoid it simply means do not make any reply. If there is a negative comment on the video, let it be. An equally harsh reply can escalate into a fight; which really accomplishes nothing but can drive other viewers away, instead.
Make sure that the video you post will create a lot of comments and discussions among the viewers. This can bring your video to the "most discussed today" list, and once people see that, it can lead to more views. This strategy is most effective when you make videos about contrasting topics or contents; something that has pros and cons, or may start people discussing about their preferences, for example.
Don't spam - ever. Avoid posting numerous videos in one day. The threshold should be a maximum of two videos in a day, if you have a solid set of subscribers already. If you post too many in a short span of time, you get fewer views.
Another important thing to remember is not to be afraid to post videos. Always have fun and enjoy posting your videos. If there are "haters", or some negative comments, just ignore them. Understand that this is just part of the Internet. Don't take it personally.
Finally, make sure you do not forget the forum. This is a big way to get views on your video. Just go to a gaming or related site of your video and post it there. It can start some discussions and those will add to the view counts.
These are some of the tips on how to get views on YouTube that can definitely drive the viewers to your video. Just remember, the bottom line is still the quality of your video.
