How to Add Your Info To A YouTube Video
It is one thing to make a video for YouTube and upload as a way of luring traffic to your site, but do you know how you go about making sure that the video is 1) associated with you and 2) linkable to you.
Making the video itself is quite simple. You can edit together stills or use free online editing software to make a video that you have shot yourself. You shoot a video quite easily using a digital camera, camcorder or even a Blackberry... There are all kinds of video tools online that you can use to make a quick marketing video. The instructional series of videos known as "The Six Figure Mentors" is a good source of information about this subject.
Make It Entertaining
You can shoot, edit and post all of the information that you want in the world but you will not be able to promote your business unless your viewers are encouraged to watch the video all the way to the end.
The best way to do this is to make your video as entertaining as possible. Keep it from being just a dry list of facts. Plugging your business too much is also not recommended as studies show this turns people on YouTube off. They are looking to feel good, not be sold to however if your video is appealing your site might be appealing to them too.
Your Viewers Have To Find Your Video
There is no sense in uploading a video to YouTube that nobody is going to find. To be listed properly in the search engines you need to upload keyword rich information that describes the video properly. If this is not in place your video cannot be ranked on the main pages of the Google Engine results page. Keep in mind too that more and more videos are being featured on the primary search results pages and not just if you click on the video search category.
Remember too to add all of the keywords that symbolize your site so that people can find you. Google owns YouTube so if you have the right language in your video description it becomes easy for people to find you.
You should also make sure that the primary keywords you use are included in the title, several times in the main body text in the description and in the "tag search field." If you do use keyword phrases be sure they have hyphened because YouTube only allows you to put in ten words total and if they are hyphenated then the phrases will be treated like one word.
You should also make sure that the full URL Is included in the description as that will generate a very high quality one way link back to your website.
As is the case with using articles to promote your site, the more videos you post, the more traffic you will have as the result of raised search engine rankings and back links.
