Back to Contents

 

The number of people using social media sites is undeniably high. For YouTube, the world’s second-largest website, more than 2 billion users are logging in monthly. Combine that with the monetization program in the website, and it becomes the ideal social media network to make a living.

However, advertising on YouTube to get more YouTube views is easier said than done. On top of competing with similar businesses and ventures, you need to have the algorithm working in your favor. So, it makes it a daunting task.

Do not worry. Experts have given 10 tips on how marketers can use YouTube’s features and come out on top of the competition.

Consistently Create Video Content

One of the factors that YouTube considers when ranking your content is how active you are on the platform. By consistently uploading content to the point that you have a large quantity, the chances of you getting noticed become higher. It is like how the more raffle entries you have submitted, the higher the possibility of you getting picked. It is as simple as that. However, you should still worry about the quality of your content. After all, people simply finding them is not enough. Instead, you want them to like the content you produced. You could exploit trends, but do not be too reliant on them because they come and go.

Create a Channel For Your Brand

Many companies have overlooked this potential on Youtube. They made pages and business accounts on other networks like Facebook and Instagram. However, they failed to realize that they can reach a broader audience through Youtube.

Moreover, Youtube’s focus is on long-form videos. Thus, you can create more in-depth explanations about your products and services than in any other platform.

Make Videos Interesting

This is a given. If you post boring stuff on Youtube, no one will talk about them. Therefore, no one would share them. Making your videos shareable should be one of your main goals. If users share your content with friends or other platforms, you can “bypass” the ranking algorithm. Viewers and consumers will directly land on your page.

Funnel Viewers From Other Platforms

Youtube is popular, yes. But that does not mean other social media websites are not. Instagram and TikTok are two of the platforms you can use to obtain more audiences. Those two are the main social media sites where short-form videos are found. So, you can create teasers of your content and upload them to those websites. Then, add a link to your Youtube channel so people who are hooked will know where to go to learn more.

Use Texts, Captions, and Make Shorter Videos

Experts believe making “snackable” content is feasible. These are short, quick, and valuable. The idea behind it is, users are not available all the time. There are instances when they can’t spend much time on Youtube or can’t have sounds turned on. So, short easy to digest videos that utilize captions and text are sometimes ideal. Having some of these on your channel would not hurt.

Partner with Influencer

Influencers are internet celebrities. Many people follow them and frequently are persuaded to use the same products their idol uses or endorses. Thus, associating with them will work wonders for marketers.

Moreover, their service is cheaper than Hollywood or TV celebrities.

Some would even advertise your products and not ask for payment. Just send free products, and they would be okay with that.

Overall, partnership with influencers is affordable yet offers a promising outcome. Marketers should give it a chance.

Embed Youtube Videos In Other Pages You Own

If you have a blog site or a website for your business, it would be nice if you embed your Youtube channel on them. Likewise, you should link them to your emails and newsletters. That will help you make your customers understand your business more. On top of that, it will ensure resilience, irrespective of a platform’s trendiness factor.

Publish Well-Researched Advice Via Step-By-Step Videos

As has been said repeatedly in this post, people come to Youtube to gain an understanding about something. Whether we admit it or not, most people are too lazy to read – especially if it’s a wall of text. It happens that the best alternative is videos explaining the matter. They make learning more interesting.

That said, making videos with a comprehensive explanation about your products, services, and problems they solve will be a good move. Post detailed step-by-step guides about how to use these products to solve those problems. That will provide your prospects the advice they are looking for.

If you can satisfy your prospects with this type of content, chances are, they will keep coming back for more. They may even recommend your channel to others. As a result, you will see an increase in commercial revenue.

Make Educational Content Targeted to Younger Audiences

The evolution of technology and social media, in particular, allowed these sites to be good sources of reliable information. People can use them for educational purposes. For instance, Millennials and Gen-Zers use Youtube to do research and learn things.

Marketers can take advantage of this, as well. They can use it as an opportunity to teach their customers and prospects about topics related to their business. Youtube favors the long-form video format. Use that to make videos that are well-detailed and informative.

Utilize Pay-Per-Click Ads

Ideally, you would want organic traffic. However, increasing that isn’t easy to do, even when you are doing great on your content. The problem is in the competition itself. Since it is second only to Google as the largest site in the world, Youtube is a crowded place. So, it would be best if you leveraged all the tools available to be visible. Such a tool is the Google Ad search engine. Make PPC content that targets keywords and interests. Keep it simple; a quick pitch by an enthusiastic representative will do. What you need to keep in mind is not the fanciness of the ads. Instead, you should focus on delivering a message that is relevant to the search. Afterward, send the viewer to an ad-customized landing page.
