Hello dear readers of the Start-Luck blog. Are you already the owner of your channel and even realized that you can make money on YouTube, but want to increase your income? Then this article is for you.
I'll tell you everything I know about how to get views on YouTube. You will learn more than five ways. Some of them are free to use, while others require some investment.
I highly advise you to learn all the possible methods that you can apply. I will not fool you with long texts, spend 5 minutes studying complete list... Use something or not, you decide in the process, but at least you will own all the information. Don't limit your own possibilities.
Perhaps not now, but a little later, you will want to expand the boundaries and in this case, take up a detailed study of one of available ways... Let's get started?
Optimization
This is a very cool way to promote. During publication, you consciously come up with a name for your video based on search queries, write special tags and make a description that will bring new visitors to your channel.
How does optimization affect the number of views? It's very simple. Your video appears in Yandex and Google search results. Now many people first of all want to watch the video on a specific topic, there are even special tabs of the same name in the search engines. Don't miss the opportunity to be on the list of the best and take the first place in the search results.
I can recommend you the book by Kirill Zhukovsky " YouTube. Way to success ". In it you will find a lot of tips not only about optimization, but also get recommendations for creating top videos, learn and.
This information is also on my blog, but the book will undoubtedly have a number of advantages. Unfortunately, my time, like other bloggers, is limited. If I write very long texts, then I simply will not have any readers.
Optimization will also help you find yourself in the list of "Related Videos", you probably stumbled upon it. When a person finishes watching one clip, he is offered a whole scattering of similar ones. It remains only to choose which one is of particular interest to him. You can also learn how to hook the viewer in the book that I advised you a little earlier.
Social media pages
You may have read my article on how to build. Yes, you can earn money on your personal page too. However, now we are not interested in this, but in views. If you are, then your friends see it, which means that the number of those who have seen it increases.
Nobody forbids you to create multiple accounts, look for new subscribers, and then use them to increase your profits. By the way, it is possible that your friends will also repost records, which means that the audience will double.
You can ask some of your especially popular friends to repost. It's fair and probably free. If you have contacts of popular people on Vkontakte, you can contact them and ask them to post a video on their page for money. I don’t think it will cost you very much. Try it.
Groups and communities
Another good way to increase your views is. You can publish your videos there too. People will have the ability to follow you on both sites. You increase the chances of popularity.
There are those who constantly sit on Vkontakte and watch videos right here, without even paying attention to the popular video hosting. You will be credited with all the views these people have made through another popular network.
Other social networks
By the way, now I was talking about Vkontakte, but you must understand that there are also Odnoklassniki, as well as Facebook. Nobody bothers you to create an additional profile in these social networks... Both will be more beneficial.
There are many foreigners on Facebook who willingly subscribe and become friends of our compatriots. If you create videos with no audio or subtitles, they can also become interested in the channel and become ardent fans of your art.
First, you need to understand that if you are not a member of the “Youtube Affiliate Program”, video views will not make you money, but many still want to make their video more popular (some to brag and some to make money later. On this).
Step 2
Of course, you can "wind up" views with the help of some sites, but it costs money and can be blocked for it. Therefore, we will consider legal ways.
Step 3
First, remove good video, it could be your own internet show (like “+100500 and“ This is Horosho ”), just a funny video that you managed to capture on the street or somewhere else, or even a video of a concert, a news video, excerpts from TV programs, etc. .d. The main thing is that it has not yet been downloaded by anyone (to do this, use the search).
Then register on the website (youtube.com), and click the “Add video” button (see illustration).
Step 4
A video download window will appear, select your video, now the most important thing begins, first, change the name of the video so that it matches the content, but at the same time attracts attention (example: you have a video where someone falls funny, such videos on Youtube the most popular :) and are called FAILs, name the video in English and Russian, like
“Funny FAIL”, now not only Russians will watch this video), the second important step is tags, use popular tags like “funny, joke, tin, sensation” (on YouTube, tags are written without a comma !!! ), you can now save the video.
Step 5
The next step is promotion. Remember that on “YouTube” views of one person are counted up to 350 times (that is, after you have watched the video 350 times, views are no longer counted), so ask your friends and acquaintances to view your video several times (for this you need to right-click mouse in the browser “Opera” and select “Reload every”, and then custom and enter 0 minutes 1 second, see illustration), if 10 of your friends leave the window to refresh for a few minutes, then you will already have 3500 views (350 * 10 = 35.000), the main thing is to remember that views will appear only after a few days.
The next step is promotion on forums, if you are registered on a popular forum and you are an active user there, then add a link to the video in the signature, the main thing is to hide the link under the BB code, so that instead of the link there is an inscription (“clickable”), like “DO NOT CLICK ! ” (this will attract any user, since the “forbidden fruit is sweet” (:), it will help you get another 1000-5000 views.
Step 6
Another way is Social Networks. If you have a lot of friends on “networks” like facebook, twitter, etc. Use the “share” button on Youtube, and ask your friends to click “tell friends” as well.
That's all, if you combine all these actions, then you can easily get 10.000-20.000 views.
It happened yesterday. In the morning, I looked at Youtube Analitics and saw that my channel had passed the mark at. This day was also significant because 850 views per day came. Previously, there were 800 per day. Therefore, I made an immediate decision - to share information with you and return to the days when I had dozens of views in 24 hours.
Perhaps, remember, I wrote about and today I will try to supplement this material, based on real example- Channel Ponyatnoe TV.
How long does it take to get 100,000 views
My answer is straightforward: it took me about 9 months to get 100,000 views on youtube. To be more precise, 9 months and 3 days. Today, thousand views per day my videos are not gaining, but the traffic indicator of the channel tends to this mark.
During this time, there were ups and downs, but at this stage stability has come - + - 800 views per day. The next goal is 1000 video views per day.
I remember very well the time when I got 20-50 views per day. I still remember the times when I waited until I get the first 3000 views and 100 subscribers to make money on youtube. By the way, if your channel meets these indicators, you can too (link where you can apply).
How I managed to get a lot of views on youtube
- download music from VKontakte in one click 23 015 (15%)
- how to wind up 10,000 VKontakte friends 10,850 (7%)
- how to delete an unremovable folder in 59 seconds 8000 (5%)
- videos have a beautiful (in my opinion) preview,
- videos correspond to the title,
- have a seo description.
I draw your attention to the fact that most of my videos are no more than 3 minutes long, and the views are not wound up. All the videos on my channel were watched by people. I have never used any sites, programs for cheating (I advise you to do the same for you).
I didn't have a magic wand and I managed to get it only due to:
- constantly adding new videos (at least one per week);
- thanks to a correctly composed description;
If I received a penny whenever I was asked how to create a viral video or get a million views on YouTube, I would be a very wealthy person.
People believe that by producing a video (usually filmed in a corporate office setting and telling about a new product) and posting it on YouTube, they can only sit in front of the monitor and watch as their recording gains view after view. Like anyone who knows at least something about online video, I will say that at best, such a video will receive a couple of hundred views.
So how do you get more responses for your video on the Internet and earn tons of views on YouTube? Here are some tips and tricks that can help you with this business.
Make YouTube Friends
Many people think that YouTube is the place where everyone watches videos. But like any other social network, it provides a ton of ways to interact with other users, creating your own community. You need to start making friends with people in your niche, send them private messages and praise them for the videos they post, and also leave comments on the topic. It is a slow process and is very similar to commenting on other blogs, but while it can be time-consuming, it is very effective.
Add annotations to your videos
YouTube annotations are easy to add, and while the biggest mistake the system makes is that it prevents you from linking to third-party sites (otherwise there would be colossal spam problems), annotations help increase your subscriber base. Explore the last ten seconds of this video and you will find a couple of links leading to our channel and an "about us" video. When used correctly (and there are millions of ways to do it all creatively), annotations are for you. in a simple way quickly get new subscribers to your channel or views of your video, which until now could not boast of high traffic.
Grow your subscriber base
If there is one surefire way to hit YouTube, it’s by building a subscriber pool. A subscriber is someone who gets notified every time you post a new video, and the value of such people should not be underestimated. Channels with a couple of hundred subscribers have a great opportunity to earn more views, and if the video is really good, it will get organic distribution through the subscribers to their friends.
Create the right tags and descriptions for your videos
While YouTube has done everything it can to improve video search over the years, the search itself is still done by tags and text. This means that you need to do your best to create the correct description and title, and make sure that you add as many appropriate video tags as possible. Remember that YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world after Google, and that people can search for your video right now. So do everything so that they can find him.
Pictograms
For those who are not familiar with the terminology, these are such small pictures that will appear in front of you following the link to the video. You can choose the thumbnail that appears after your video is uploaded. It's vital to find something that will make a bunch of people poke at her immediately. Remember, people get hundreds of results when they search YouTube, and you need to make your video stand out from the crowd.
Spread your video everywhere
It's pretty obvious, but most people will not come to your video through YouTube, but from other sites. You should post this video on your website or blog and actively distribute it through other social networks. It's good if you have friends who are always ready to help, and if you think that your video could be hung by another blogger, it will not be a problem to ask him if he would like to support you.
There are tons of content on the internet that is just as good (if not even better) than yours, so you'll have to work hard to get everyone around you to get the word out about your video. Make links and virtual “pointers” that will lead people to your video. Here on our page you will find a small button leading to our YouTube channel, links to it are in all our emails, on our Facebook and Twitter pages, and so on.
Leave video responses
This is something that really works great, but it takes a lot of time. Basically, any YouTube video has a video reply option (you can often see these next to the main video button). You yourself, as a regular user, can leave such answers, and if the owner of the original video considers your answer clear enough, he will make it so that everyone can see it. You will have to manually iterate through all the posts to find the places where your video would be in the topic, but this is a great way to show your video to people who are interested in similar videos in your niche.
Again, if you start by connecting effectively with other YouTube users, your video will have a great chance of being accepted as a video response.
The popularity of YouTube haunts even Instagram, which suddenly decided to squeeze the audience from the site and. We do not know how the battle of the titans will end, but we firmly know that YouTube remains the second most popular site in the world, which means that you can promote everything here - yourself, your business, and even your neighbor's bulldog (who secretly dreams of becoming a star). But there is neither money nor desire to pump up cosmic amounts at the first stages of promotion, so today we are talking about how to get cherished views on YouTube without tearful goodbyes to green bills.
Quality content
All and sundry are talking about this, but the world is not getting any better and brighter. Remember once and for all - if you decide to take YouTube by the horns, this does not mean that you need to upload videos from your grandmother's dacha mixed with swearing workers. Follow the “Less is better” principle and clearly define the needs of the target audience.
Selling cosmetics? Then tell me how to do makeup for a pool party, best friend's wedding, and first date. Are you promoting your own dance studio? Then record videos with cool choreography (though it won't work for free here anymore) or training videos where you will talk about the technique of movements and presentation in dancing.
But your main salvation is How-to videos. Thanks to them, Graham Cochrane received 34 million views. The blogger looks for ideas in the comments of subscribers, and when he doesn't find, he asks. The audience loves to be interested in it.
subscribe to my channel
Imagine a writer creating at a table or a dancer performing in front of an empty auditorium. Looks absurd. Even explosive content loses its meaning if no one sees it. So take care of this beforehand. Remind users who watched the video to subscribe to your channel and click on the bell to receive alerts. Start saying the magic phrase “Subscribe to my channel” or arrange a lottery, a prerequisite for participation in which will be a click on the coveted button.Create playlists
We doubt that you like stores where bread and milk are on the same shelf. Believe me, users are also not happy with the channels on which horses, people and a couple of new life hacks get in the way.And statistics say that popular blogs use 2 times more playlists. Because besides convenience, there is another reason why they work - autoplay. Even if the user in real life did not watch a video titled "Alice in the Land of Acid", YouTube has already offered it. And our people do not refuse offers (and not ours either).
Use maps and end screens
The end saver is the highlighted frame at the end of the video, and the cards pop up at any time. If new videos get millions of views, then it's time to invite users to look old ones as well. This is where the end screen saver comes in handy, with which you can send viewers to another playlist.Don't forget about watermarks
Another reminder to subscribe to a channel is the corporate logo serving as a subscription button. By the way, in order not to mislead users, the Shopify channel uses a watermark that says “Subscribe”. It is fair to users.It should be noted right away that this button is not Schrödinger's cat, and therefore it will not work to make it look like it is, but it seems not. The watermark will either be present in all videos, or it will not be present on the channel.
Promote videos on other social networks
If they are popular in at least one social network, it is a sin not to take advantage of this. Millions of subscribers? Make a one-minute presentation for them, after which they want to go to the channel. Or not a minute (long live IGTV)Build a community
YouTube is a social network. This means that you need to use it as a social network. Respond to subscribers to comments, subscribe to other channels, and promote You Tube bloggers.
Remember YouTube algorithms
You know that YouTube rankings are influenced by time and number of views? An easy way to increase them is to invite a popular blogger. So you will kill two birds with one stone - and satisfy the algorithm, and attract a new audience.
Optimize titles and descriptions
YouTube is a search network. And you need to work like with a search network. If you want to win the channel race, identify keywords and use them. Only without “I rocked your pipe”. The key phrases you want to promote will resonate with your information anyway. So write organically and don't forget that people are reading this.Take care of the miniature
A thumbnail is the first thing that users see. Would you like to choose from the images offered by the social network? Do not hurry. According to YouTube, users are more likely to click on images that have nothing to do with video frames. And do not leave after that.A good thumbnail is an image that grabs attention and resonates with your brand. Fortunately, in the 21st century gave free programs for images and graphic design, so it remains only to comply with the technical specifications:
- Aspect ratio 16: 9
- Resolution 1280x720
- Size less than 2 MB
- JPG, GIF, BMP or PNG formats
