How To Get Free YouTube Traffic
It’s fairly easy
for your video to get lost in the gigantic YouTube galaxy, but fortunately
enough, there are some pretty simple and effective ways to create unique
organic traffic for your videos.
Here are some tips to keep in mind to win some clicks.
Choose carefully your thumbnail
The thumbnails you select for each video are more important than
you think. It’s the first thing people will see when they search for your
videos, so it needs to have the “click-worthy” value.
In other words, make it appealing. YouTube automatically gives
you three thumbnail options to choose from when you upload a video, but if you
feel you need something catchier, customize and upload your own. It goes a long
way.
Think over your title and video description
Your title is clearly important for intriguing viewers, but it
can also improve your search results and should definitively drive more traffic
to your channel.
The very first term should be relevant, such as a keyword and
you should follow that with what is featured in the video, building a keyword
phrase. While your title should be clear and concise, the video description
is where you can go a little more in-depth.
The description can include a keyword phrase, your URL, and a
mini-post that briefly describes the content of your video.
Create a Custom Background Image
Compliment your content with a clean channel design. Your
background image can also invite viewers, so apart from the theme and colour
options YouTube offers, you can also upload your own background image, helping
you to stand out from the crowd.
Make Your Best Video “Featured”
YouTube automatically shows your most recent video in the main
“Featured” window on your channel page. For users that post regularly, this is
ideal, but for those that post less, sometimes a better option is selecting
another video to occupy that slot.
Here’s how: Go to your “Creator Studio” settings and select
“Featured Content” from the left menu under “Channel”. Then click the “Feature
Content” button and choose if you want to use the most recent uploaded video or
choose a new video or playlist.
Pay Attention to Comments
Engage with your audience. Take the time to read your channel
comments as well as those posted on your videos and be sure to respond.
Remember; clean up if you have to. Delete or report spam
comments, if not, it comes off as if you may be ignoring your channel.
Recent Activity is a win-win situation
Show what you’ve been up to on YouTube lately. If you like or
favourite a video on YouTube, this action will show up in your “Recent Activity”
as well as the “Recent Activity” box of the content creator.
It’s a simple way to make YouTube contacts, and it may bring
viewers to your page. However, if you prefer a more straight and direct approach, you could buy YouTube subscribers as an easy hack.
Video owners who’ve been liked or favourited are more likely to
click through to take a look at your content in return.
Users like playlists
Create playlists of your videos instead of having a series of
separate videos. Start with your most popular or recent videos to get your fans
interested, and then let them sift through new and old material.
