YouTube Marketing and Making People Go To Your Site
What I'm going to talk about now are ways to turn your
YouTube videos viral, that is, how to make a large percentage of the
people that view your videos go to your site.

YouTube Marketing - Fifth Method
The fifth strategy/method that I have for
YouTube videos might not be for everyone, but it works
unbelievably well. The strategy is to make a short video of
you, or someone else, doing something really crazy and/or
stupid. You'd be amazed at how many people eat that
kind of thing up. For some reason, people love to
watch other people do stupid, crazy things. Either it's
because they get a sense of satisfaction knowing that
they're not that stupid, or it's because they enjoy watching
people do things that they don't have the balls to do.
Whatever the reason may be, they love it. |

It's up to you how to do this particular
strategy. Please don't do anything illegal, or anything that
will hurt you or anyone else. Here are some silly, fun
examples:

The above video has been viewed over 8 MILLION times!
How many people would go to a site for another part of that video?
These are all just short videos of people doing crazy, silly, stupid
things. Like I said, people love that kind of thing!
Think about what entertains people.

Trivia, mysteries, stories, these things
entertain people to the point that a good number of them
will end up on our sites to watch the 2nd half of our
videos. Once they're on our sites, they're our visitors, and
our visitors are our potential customers. We just need
to setup our YouTube videos in a manner that compels our
viewers to go to our sites to see the rest of our videos.
The cool part is, the videos are hosted on YouTube.
Even the parts that are on our sites are hosted on YouTube!
When you upload a video to YouTube, they give you the code
to embed the video on your site. It gives the appearance of
the video being a part of your site page, but in reality
it's hosted on YouTube. |
|
Remember to monetize the site/page that you're
sending the viewers to for part 2 of your video. Do this
with related affiliate products, your own related products,
Adsense, etc. The sky is the limit. These strategies will
get people to your site, that is for sure, once they're there,
it's up to you to convert them into customers.
The natural progression is: YouTube viewer ----->
Site Visitor -----> Customer
