Millions of people visit YouTube every day. If you aren’t promoting your business on YouTube yet, what are you waiting for?
I am about to bring out some of the hottest techniques to promote a video on YouTube. We’ve used them with clients from all over the world and a lot of them have seen thousands of new visitors as a result of these powerful tactics.
Anyway, here is the list:
- Copy the Top Performers: Look for the three most popular videos with more views in your category and get ideas from them. Copy their video title, video tags and description. Don’t copy anything verbatim, change things up a little and make some difference.
- Create Your Own Channel: Create a new channel and customize to feature your best videos. This alone will drastically increase your views.
- Use the Bulletin Board: This is a great feature that allows you start a conversation around your own videos. But don’t limit yourself to your own bulletin boards, use others as well.
- Add Friends: YouTube is not just a video sharing community; YouTube is a social network. Add friends to your list and connect with them.
- Use Video Responses: Search for most popular videos related to yours and post your video as a response to them. Leverage the views that other videos get.
- Create Something Worth Spreading the Word About: If your video is boring, all these tactics will go in vain. The videos that work best on YouTube are either hilarious, controversial, unique, current trend or very useful.
- Complete Your Profile: Don’t leave your profile empty, YouTube allows you to fill out a profile do it by all means including a “link to your website here” field.
- Link the Videos to Your Profile: You can place your videos link to any page within YouTube. Set it up so when people click on your video they go to your profile directly. And from your profile they are able to click on your website link.
- Create Playlists: Create a playlist of related videos. Include much popular ones on a certain topic and, of course, your own video.
- Join Some Groups and Create Your Own: Join some groups and post both, text and video comments. You can also create your own group.
- Encourage Viewers to Subscribe: End each video asking viewers to subscribe. Many people don’t know they can subscribe or they will forget unless you remind them.
These are some of the techniques that we have used for our best clients. Most of them got more than a Million views. How would you like to get your business in front of a million potential new clients?

Hi, I have been using YouTube for years. However, some of these ideas are absolutely priceless, and I wish I had been implementing them from the start. I especially like the ideas about copying the top performers, and using video responses (brilliant!) plus also encouraging viewers to subscribe. I will definitely note down the ideas in this article – they are absolutely golden!
