Why Use YouTube?

As the title implies, even Playboy recognizes the power of YouTube.  This year they are encouraging applicants to submit videos of themselves to Playboy’s YouTube Channel.  YouTube Submissions (warning: models aren’t nude, but they aren’t wearing nun’s habits either)

When you create a new website or try to promote a new website, you are joining a huge throng of hundreds of millions of other websites and blogs that are all competing for attention. When you’re trying to establish your site it can be difficult to get noticed in such a vast “ocean” of competition.  You need something that will differentiate you from the herd, errr I mean pack.

People who do business on the internet are increasingly adding YouTube to their marketing strategy. It’s a medium that’s difficult to ignore.

However, there’s a right way and a wrong way to use YouTube, and we are going to tell you how to take advantage of YouTube’s massive traffic correctly, so you can steer some of it your way.

When people go to YouTube they are looking for one of two things: information or entertainment.

It’s much easier to create a video whose primary purpose is to inform than it is to make an entertainment style video.

Here are some ways to quickly make your presence felt in the internet.

Learn From Your Competitors – search for relevant topics and while you are searching make comments (making sure to include the URL of your site) on the videos that stand out to you (this will be explained in greater detail later)

Use TAGS PROPERLY – Search Google Keywords Tool for relevant long tailed keywords to use.  You can easily stuff the TITLE and DESCRIPTION of your video with relevant tags.

For example:

Title:  Tips for Internet Marketing Success

Alternate Title: Essential Internet Marketing Tip

Media Author: (Put URL Here)

Media Description: (Put URL Here)–90% of internet marketing tactics end in failure for one simple reason – Don’t make the same mistake; learn how to get tons of traffic and build a hungry list.

Getting Viewers for your videos – Go where the traffic is.  This is where those comments you made to good videos will come in handy.

These comments should be helpful and positive, and should make people want to click on your user name, which will lead them back to your YouTube home page. They will also act as backlinks to your site with is important for SEO as well.
