    Hello,

    I have some videos about selling my products but I uploaded them on youtube. After one week I got few visits. Can anyone tell me how to promote videos.

    Well you should find the best keywords and tag the videos correctly. Also insert the keywords in the Title and Description. Go to microworkers and hire 10 people with 10cents each to give a 5 star rating to your video. It will give your video a bump in search results :D

    Also, there is strength in numbers/bulk. There are many, many video uploading websites. Simply create accounts on all of them, create your video, and upload them. Like moondoggy said though, be sure to tag appropriately. SEO your title/description as well. Don't title your video My product video, versus X 97 Series Lawnmower Video

    You promote them the same way you would any piece of site content. Get links back to them. Article marketing, forum posts, bookmarking, do video responses to other videos.

    Find the most popular videos and see what keywords they are targeting/what their content is and make a similar video with the same words so you show up in the "related videos" on the right.

    If you host them on youtube, there is this program called Paid2youtube.com
    There you can advertise your videos for a small fee.

    Also, try optimizing your keywords and title of your video.
    Search for "Google keyword tool" on Google and you will find a tool where you can look what people actually searches for.

    I tweet my videos, share them on FB and post them to my blog. So far, so good.

    As was mentioned be mindful of keywords/SEO.

    Keep them short and sweet. Anything over 3 - 5 minutes is pushing it. I aim for short and punchy videos between 1 - 3 minutes since I know many don't bother pressing the "Play" button is they see anything longer. This should bump up your views.

    I wonder if you use like 100 tags will you get more views or there is some penalty for that aswell?

    If you have some extra money, you could do the promoted video thing at youtube - https://ads.youtube.com/

    Buy some promotion, get a few thousand subscribers, and use that to help kick start your youtube channel. I see a lot of new people on youtube pushing their videos to the front page by buying promotions. Its a sure fire way to get you more views.

    You can use the same methods as driving traffic to your site to drive traffic to your youtube video. All the usuall directories and articles etc. You can buy clicks to get yours up in the most viewed video for your keyword, then that 'popularity' will bring you higher in the youtube search results, then more hits.

    Just upload your videos on all video submission sites by creating your own account with specific keywords in the title.

    may be faster and easier way if you are buying views, asking people to do the rate, subscribe and comment your video.

    Find the keywords which has high search volume and search density add those keywords to your video and the same to the tags. Write some attractive articles which related to your product and use the video link on your article. This will help to increase visits for your video.

    I recommend you to try with Youtube Promoted Videos. It works the same way than regular PPC Adwords ads and it can boost the number of views. On the other hand try to upload your videos to other Video Websites such as Dailymotion and use Social Media channels. You can share them via FB and Twitter, use Stumble Upon to like them and try to get bloggers in your niche to talk about them (you can for example send them a free sample that they can review in their blogs).
