How do I promote my youtube video?

Well, you can post links on Myspace and facebook, Twitter and whatnot. Spread it around the place you work or your school, tell your friends

The first thing you need to do, if you haven't already, is to create your own YouTube Channel. This is far from being a complicated procedure, as your channel is automatically generated for you when you sign up for a new YouTube account.

This is your first step towards becoming a video creator, NewsMaster or opinion maker, rather than just another site visitor.

Among the advantages of having your own channel are:

― The ability to arrange your own and others content in a single location, with its own YouTube URL (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/robingood%22)

― The opportunity to create a profile for yourself and your content, and link back to your website URL

― The chance to start creating playlists from your own and other people's content

― The opportunity to lay the foundations of your YouTube presence, which you can build on using the other tips in this guide

― Customization Features

Once you have signed up and started uploading, recording or aggregating video content, you can take advantage of some of the recently launched channel customization options. You can find these in your channel settings once you are logged in.

In addition to being able to extensively edit the contents and design of your profile - selecting from a range of options the features you want to make use of - you can also select from your video selection 9 highlighted videos that will be prominently displayed on your channel profile.

If you have managed to gather quite a collection, this is a great way of being able to promote some of your favorite, or your audiences' favorite, videos.

Account Types - Choose Your Niche

― Targeting your content by account type

When you sign up for a new account you are given the chance to choose which account type you would like. While one of the options is 'standard', it makes a lot more sense to choose from the other possibilities. You can select from the following categories:

― A Director account - great if you are producing your own web videos. This account allows you to to add custom items and a logo to your Profile pages

― A Musician account - which is a good opportunity if you are hoping to promote your music through YouTube. In addition to your custom logo and choice of music genre, you can also display tour date information and CD purchase links on your profile pages

― A Comedian account - which is of course a good way of promoting your comedy show or stand-up act. This allows you to add your custom log, comedy style, show date information and CD purchase links on your profile pages

― A Guru account - which is for anyone that is an expert in a particular field, whether that be cooking or web design. This account lets you choose a custom logo, genre and links to your other websites from your profile pages

― If you already have a YouTube account but want to take advantage of this feature, you can do so by converting your account type from yourchannel info page. It is possible to change at any time.

Why limit yourself?

If you happen to dabble in music, comedy and dishing out advice you might wonder why it makes sense to limit yourself to one particular account type. The answer is simple - by choosing a particular account type you automatically increase your chances of your videos and profile being seen. Users can search by account type, looking just through the videos created by Guru account holders only for instance.

This means that in narrowing the focus of your channel, you automatically reduce the competition from other videos, and give yourself the chance to further promote your work. Users can search for videos on the YouTube channel guide by selecting a particular channel category.

From here, they can see the most subscribed and most viewed videos of the current week, and can also filter videos by the current month, or 'all time' in their search. Whether your videos get a lot of views in a particular week, or steadily gather views over a number of months, your self-promotion opportunities will have increased.

It is far easier to rise to the top of the pile within a particular category than it is to make the front page of the website, and in the process you help potential viewers to narrow down their search. All of this leads to more video and profile views, and in turn more traffic to your website, and that's before you consider any CD sales or live performance attendance you might see as an added bonus.

Create Short Form Viral Content

― Online video has its own rules

In the vast majority of cases, your best chance of creating a highly-viewed video is to make sure that your running time is around the five minute mark or less.

While people will watch TV-ripped content for significantly longer, made-for-web video works best in short bursts, both in terms of its ability to keep your viewers attention, and to stay within the file size limit of 100Mb placed on YouTube uploads.
