That is the key. Try concentrating on finding something unique or controversial to post. Popularity is usually born out of either of those, and generally requires little to no promotion.
thats exactly right , you need a unique funny idea that appeals to people, youtube users will do all the viral marketing for you. If you can get it so popular it gets featured on the home page, thats it..your youtbue famous
there are lots of ways to increase your views..mostly, people like videos that is interesting, funny, shocking, etc..you can also promote your sites..
why don't you add your videos link in other free videos sites? if you search in Google free videos website list you will get many videos website simply upload your videos there or add your youtube video link, i feel definitely you will get maximum visitors with in a month !
Someone is selling youtube viewers at digitalpoint. I don't know whether ho could do it or not but he found few purchaser here.
if you have a blog you can post the youtube links on it and do lots of SEO for the blog. This way you will recieve hits on the video.
As soon as you post your video call a few good friends and ask them to do you a favor and log onto YouTube, give you a full start rating and a positive comment. Then promote it via your information distribution channels (facebook, twitter, blogs, industry specific sites). And repeat... Another key factor is to have smart placement of keywords in the title and description for you to show up ing relevant searches. For less competitive terms keywords in the title and description and a couple full star ratings, comments and a few links seemed to do the trick. These types of activities highlight the importance of strong information distribution channels.
you can use visitorXchange services, submit to 5 - 10 Services and you can get up to 1000 Visitors per Hour. Or use a tool for views generation. TubeThumber is a good tool for it
put tags that people are searching for, like paris hilton, sex, miley cyrus, anime, gears of war, xbox, ps3, etc if u run out of tags then just list those words at the end of ur video description section good luck
hey!! simply just do one thing make some accounts on social media sites facebook , myspace, orkut , bebo etc. there are many more and upload all your videos via youtube link and at regular intervals send all your videos to your friends but make friends in thousands of number....you will see the result surely....
Your vid has to be good... people will link to it if it is... besides that, to get a jump start, use a bot like webDOM to add targeted friends, they will view your channel. A flamenco guitarist in spain that I work with got on the top 100 channels for the week that I was doing a friend adding campaign for him, and webDOM just pumps out friends all day. If you get enough people's attention, one of them is going to look at the rest of your videos in your channel, then post a link somewhere where they have clout, thus bringing back tons of other people.
what you really need to do is to create interesting and unique videos, only that is gonna catch traffic and viewers..be different dude! ;-)
The cheapest way is to write an article about the content of the video and put it on at least 5 of the top article directories. It will be picked up by the major search engines which will rank it high and thousands of people will go see the video. Or the worst method would be to pay YouTube to promote it and they will just tell you to "optimize it" by spending more money, but you are much too smart to fall any of that trash. So try the first method!
