Having a YouTube channel is a great idea for increasing your business's internet exposure. But you have to put some efforts into your channel and the videos in order for them to be popular. In this article we are going to talk about ways you can use to market your YouTube videos.

-Provide valuable content

This is a given, no matter what else you do, If you do not have valuable and interesting content to your target audience then your YouTube video marketing will not succeed. Your content must be interesting, to the point and not overly pitching your products or services. Stay subtle.

-Generate YouTube video marketing exposure by collecting ratings and comments

Do not deactivate ratings and comments on your video, never. Even if you get the inevitable bad comments, you must trust in your content enough to know that your rating will eventually be high. And when this happens, your highly rated video will attract publicity and more favorable comments.

-Have a unique video description

Pay attention to what you write in your video descriptions. These few lines are the key to your YouTube video marketing success. By having interesting video descriptions you increase the chances of users watching your videos.

-Do not hype or pitch your deal

There is nothing that YouTube users hate more than videos preaching about the need to buy certain products. Do not over emphasize your products or services, instead focus on intriguing content.

Use review videos in your YouTube video marketing

Encourage your loyal customers to make review videos about your products or services and post. These are great because they are more believable than regular ads, and more effective than written testimonials

Submit your videos to social bookmarking sites

This will spread your video around the internet a lot faster and to more users. Target sites where your target customers spend their time for maximum effect.

Utilising YouTube For Some Excellent Free Internet Marketing

Recently, when booking a holiday accommodation, I found an excellent use of YouTube for publicity purposes. The landlord was only slowly around the house and turned the apartment when he went. This gave a tour of the apartment, the other to share it with all uploaded on the website.

As a web designer, with videos on YouTube are already customers to manage with ease. This is because they make video sharingso simple. There are no costs to rise, there is no way to convert videos from the customer in the wrong format or a DVD. It is equally easy, if you get your website, and you can also upload videos in any blogging tool, if you host your blog or with the free tool.

So if you are promoting a service for which you can take a video, upload it to YouTube and then embed into your website. It may seem complicated, butthe exact piece of code to cut and paste into your site. There should be only second.

Not only do homeowners who use this service. I know a wedding videographer, the sample videos uploaded, and these are set in place. For those who can video their service or product, this technique will work.

But there is no need to get the best of YouTube just taking videos and linking to it from your site. I recently saw a video for examplesomeone who is also to be housing. Instead of a simple video on the company, was a funny video about some imaginary travelers. This video has been active in other ways. Instead of adding the service website, which is trying to drive more visitors.

How does it work? Now start, people, watch the video and rate it. Some of these people enjoy the video and decide to show their friends. This means that the video will be shown in aCircle of people that is activated, the greater the likelihood of these friends are the bridge to forward to their friends.

This is good marketing. Do not pay for marketing efforts, others do it for you through word of mouth. What's better than the free market potentially hundreds of people who do not know? This is truly viral marketing really works.

Of course, only to produce the video is not enough. Not only need to respond to a group of people,it needs to link back to you. Maybe in the background it very clearly shows your logo or right at the end of the video your website address scrolls across the screen.

The Internet used to be only for research. However, it has grown greatly since than, and so have its uses. Billions of people now rely on the Internet for their entertainment. YouTube is one of those forms of entertainment. It's a website that permits its visitors to view video material uploaded by users. You can look at other people's homemade videos, and even upload and share some video material of your own.

Making your own video is a lot of fun, and not as hard as it sounds. Many people of all different ages are making their own videos and sharing them on YouTube. These can be used to show a favorite scene from a TV show, share information and how to's, or just be funny. If you want to get involved in making your own video, get started thinking up some ideas now!

Remember that the idea is the most important part of your video. Too many people just stick to reading about the technical details. This is all well and good, but YouTube takes care of most of that. You can worry about your content instead, since YouTube offers one of the easiest processes of upload you can find on the Internet.

The first step is, of course, making your own video. You'll have to get a standard video recording device, like a camcorder or a webcam. You can make pretty much any kind of video you like, as long as you adhere to the terms and standards. Remember that thousands of people are going to see your video, so make sure it's appropriate. Warn potential viewers if you're going to put any kind of foul language, graphic material, or other possibly objectionable content in. You can put this warning in your YouTube video's title.

Remember that there are several limitations when you post on YouTube. These include video length and file size. YouTube currently limits your uploaded video to a length of no more than ten minutes. It must also be less than a hundred megabytes in file size. There are some other rules in the terms of use agreement that you should be sure to check on. However, beyond that, there are no additional restrictions. You may make as many videos as you choose, for instance. This means that if you want to make a longer piece, you can simply split it up into two parts.

You must be able to save your video into a file, using movie making software. There are many different offerings in this category, including names like MovieMaker and Imovie. You can easily download these programs, or your computer may already come with the appropriate software. This is often the case on newer computers. Open your video on the computer with one of these programs, and you can edit and save it.

When you upload your video, you must first be a member. Membership on YouTube is free. Signing up is just a way for the site to keep your information attached to your videos so that they can be tracked. Since a lot of people upload many different videos, this is important. Once you've signed in, you should be able to find a link to allow you to create and upload your video content. Just follow the directions there, and you'll soon have your very own YouTube video. If you have a fast Internet connection, your video could be online in just a few minutes.

Social Networking War - Making Money Quick Learning Who Will Win

It's always the same. When the automobile was first being manufactured, many companies jumped in and they are mostly gone now. When the Internet first started, many websites sprung up to do similar tasks, then the market consolidated around a few winners. That is ALWAYS what happens.

The latest craze is Social Networking. Lots of sites have sprung up... Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn and many others. Which one will win?

If you put all your energies into the one that fails, you will have wasted time and be behind. If you grasp onto the correct one, that wins and grows, your efforts will be hugely rewarded.

So, which one will win?

Let's look at the big ones.

YouTube

Google bought YouTube and regrets their decision. Google invests a shocking $1 million a day into buying servers and memory just for YouTube because YouTube gobbles up more memory and bandwidth than any other non-profitable service on the web. YouTube is currently losing about a half-billion dollars a year! This cannot last. You may contend: but it is so much fun and so valuable to exchange videos! That's true, but it's losing too much money. Starbucks could dramatically increase their traffic if every single product they offered were free. Their number of customers would skyrocket. Their name and reputation would rise. And, then they'd fail because they would be losing money. Why is it easy to see with Starbucks yet tougher to see with Social Networking? YouTube will not survive.

Facebook

This site began as a digital online version of the book which Harvard University published every year. To this day, it is mostly for the younger generation. And, they won't pay for services and Facebook will unlikely migrate up to the business crowd which will pay. Sure there are businesses on Facebook, but that is really not their sweet spot. Also, Facebook is very complicated. Groups, Friends, Fan Pages. Considerable work is required to keep this going. Facebook will not survive.

LinkedIn and all the other Facebook take-offs

They are already failing or are too small to be considered as contenders. They are already not surviving.

So, which one will win? No one now really knows, but here is my best forecast...

TWITTER!

Twitter will be the winner. Twitter grew from half-million in early 2008 to 7 million in early 2009 to an expected 100 million in early 2010. That's faster and higher than any site has ever grown ever. Further, Twitter is really easy to do with very little effort, no training, a few very simple rules and tiny messages of only 140 characters. Just like are society these days, just like fast-action movies these days, Twitter is exactly like these. Fast. Easy. Fun. Twitter will be the winner.

I personally am considering dropping my interest in Facebook and focusing entirely on Twitter. I am personally focusing on considerably increasing my Twitter followership. That's where I see the future. Join me.

How to Grow Your Network With YouTube Using Tube Blaster Pro

I recently came across someone's website after sending him a random friend request on YouTube. And boy am I glad I found his site.

Lots of great content on there and his story about how he started is very similar to mine. I basically just sent him a friend request because he had a video about something to do with "Home Business". I asked him if he owned his own business and if he could tell me a bit more about it. He responded a few days later and gave me a link to his site..where I read his story.

If I never took the steps to reach out and contact him and other like minded people and get to know them, I never would have found this guy or the many other people out there who just may have something to help me get to the next step in my online business.

Networking with people like this is actually really easy to do online and YouTube makes it even easier. This is how I find other "like minded critters" to connect with on YouTube:

I do a search on YouTube on a keyword that relates to the kind of people I want to connect with. For example, when I found Jamison I did a search for "Online Business" and got bunch of videos..hundreds to thousands of them.

Then I use Tube Blaster Pro to gather the usernames of the authors of these videos. I then setup it up to automatically send a friend request to all of the authors of those videos I want. I even send a short little message along to let them know I am a real person interested in their videos. In this recent case my short note went something like this:

"Hi there. Your video was interesting. Do you own your own business? Can you tell me more about it?"

They approve my friend request and respond to me explaining their business. I get to learn about what these people really have to offer and they look at my page and videos. So it works in both of our favor. I learn a bit about them and they learn a bit about me.

If I didn't use the Tube Blaster Pro software to get all these friend requests it would take an eternity to connect with these people. This software allows me to introduce myself and then become connected to "like mind people" all in one whack...usually while I am sleeping. Thats when I let it run.

Bottom line is..you want to use the giant leveraging capabilities of the internet to connect with as many people as possible to grow your business, you network, your knowledge and your awareness. You never know who you are going to come across or what you will learn from that one person. They may be the key or the inspiration that gets you to that next step or where you want to be.

I know I am talking about Tube Blaster Pro again but it has really helped me out a lot in growing my network on YouTube. I've come across some very valuable content and knowledgeable people.
