Making the Most of Your YouTube Videos

Are you doing much with YouTube?

Are you achieving the success you hoped for with your videos?YouTube Video Optimization

In case you did not know, YouTube is now the 2nd largest search engine, so using it effectively can be a goldmine…or at least a nice steady revenue stream.

What I am writing here is not new. In fact, it is straight from Google’s YouTube Partner Communications Hub. They have an optimization resource on “Discoverability“  that gives you all of the basics on optimizing your YouTube videos for more traffic and better conversions. There is little to nothing I can add, but here is a brief summary.

  1. Create a ton of content. “The more content, the more related video clicks, the bigger the reach.” That is straight from YouTube. If you have a video about playing “Time of Your Life” by Green Day, you will get some good traffic for that video and related searches (i.e. “time of your life by green day”). But if you have more videos, particularly more videos involving Green Day songs, you will rank higher for those videos as well as you will get tons of related traffic.
  2. Use annotations in the videos. With annotations, you can make notes and post links within the videos. Some practical ways to use this are linking to your subscription page, mentioning other videos, and explaining a complicated part of a lesson (for example). I like to use them to mention random fun things to keep people’s attention.
  3. Ask them to subscribe. As I mentioned in #2, use the annotation to ask them to subscribe.  Also mention this in the description.
  4. Optimize your title. See all of the rules for SEO here :)
  5. Optimize your tags. Think of related topics, misspellings, and great keywords.
  6. Optimize your description. Again, keywords are…well, key. But make it readable to a human of course.
  7. Promote the heck out of them. Use all of your social media channels - Digg, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Facebook, you name it.
  8. Engage your viewers - Use the Social Bulletin. Use the new social bulletin feature in YouTube to post links and engage subscribers. When you post a new social bulletin, your subscribers will get a notice on their homepage in YouTube.
  9. Engage your viewers - Respond to comments and feedback. First of all, listen to their feedback. Secondly, engage them by letting them know you are real and will listen to what they say. Build a relationship.
  10. Create Playlists. Group your content by themes and take your viewers to the next video. If you have some content already, this is a great way to keep them on your channel longer since they will just be watching video after video of yours, rather going doing another search.

Optimizing Video for Conversions - What to Test?

Daniel Sevitt wrote a great post on the ReelSEO blog about what to test when optimizing video for conversions.

Here are some of the highlights, but I highly recommend checking out his full post. There is a LOT to it.

As he points out first, video works. Simple as that. That being said, bad videos don’t convert, any video can be made better to increase conversions, and sometimes, depending on the product, video reduces conversions.

But here is what to he suggests to test to get the highest possible conversions for your video. I have highlighted the most relevant ones to our courses.

  1. Video or No Video - sometimes, it’s not the right thing for your site.
  2. Should it Autoplay or Not? - I hate autoplay. you probably do too. But guess what? Sometimes it works!
  3. The Call to Action
  4. Video Length
  5. Triggers - Think of these as miniature calls to action as Sevitt says.
  6. Voiceover - Man, woman, young, old, Midwestern professional or California surfer dude?
  7. Music

Read the full post, take your time tweaking and testing, and you will be well on your way to videos with really high conversions!

How to Make Your Own Video in ShareASale

Are you a ShareASale affiliate with some great ideas to make your own videos promoting Learn & Master products?? If so, then this tutorial is for you.

Brian Littleton put together a great how-to video on how to add the video, select player settings, video size, add cue points (more on this below), and select other features for your video.

The Cue Point Builder is absolutely awesome.? It allows you to add ads at various points within the video.? These cue points allow you to pick specific times during the video to show a relevant ad, such as during this example, there is a reference to dancing, so Brian adds an cue point for an ad for our Learn & Master Ballroom Dance course.

You can view the tutorial below.? It really is a great tool!? Enjoy :)
