People, except for a few "tricks" or techniques some of us may be using, the most important stuff you need to start marketing in YT is already here. True, specific techniques do give you an edge in different ways, but you can start with what you find here and evolve from then on based on your own experience.
Here's 90% of what I know/do ( WH stuff ):
- Dragunov: Videos usually go up first, particularly if you give them a view boost, then they fall a bit and finally, with time/views/favorites/ratings/comments/inclussion in playlists/embeds/outside links/links from your other vids, etc start to climb again.
It's my understanding you'll appear under certain keywords based on:
- Inclusion of KW in title
- KW in Description
- KWs in Tags
- KWs in comments (?)
- Anchor text from external links(?)
In a word:
Try to get links with KWs from inside and outside YT ( don't forget to try and make your vid a response to another popular, targeted, even ranked in Google video in your niche ). Interlink with your other sites/lenses/blogs etc for the niche.
Optimize your vid Keyword wise as you would with a site ( on site opt ). Don't "over optimize", though, as new YT policies seem to be after this, but I'm not sure about the extent of this. Watch out for xxx vids also.
Submit your RSS for your channel, and make your channel "niche specific" - including the name itself-, with a few videos each one targeting your main KWs for the niche.
Watermark your videos, put your link at the begining of your description ( and maybe at the end,too ).
Choose you niche wisely and combine it with the proper offer. Actually, this is 90% of it, and even when there are threads about this ( think ringtones and the like ), NONE is going to give you his best niches/techniques on this. Sorry, it's trial and error and using our brain.
Well, I may be forgotting a few things here but I suppose this is more than enough to get everyone started. I haven't included specific BH techniques because I don't use any. And to those who wonder: about 80% of my videos give me between $30-100$ a month after 1 or 2 months, using only WH. The other 20% I fuck up with. Yes, that happens too. Tough.
Good luck to you all.
