Video Tags for your Youtube
During or after uploading you can edit your tags for your video. Tags help people find your video in the search engine of YouTube and beyond such as Google. If you had a video about video marketing in Greensboro then some of your tags should be: video, marketing, Greensboro, nc, north Carolina, advertising, services, video and so on. You don't need a ton of tags but 10-20 tags should be plenty. Just keep your tags close to what your content is about, and don't forget that YouTube will also give suggestions to your tags from your description and title of the video
Video Description Information
First rule, if you have a website or are trying to drive people to a website, iTunes, or somewhere outside of YouTube then make sure you put your link in first. After that you need a good description including 
the keywords from your title and the tags. Do not keywords stuff, but repeating your first two keywords 2-3 times in a paragraph could help your ranking. Make sure you follow KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid). People are fast, and don't have the time or energy to watch a 10 minute video, read a 3 page report, or listen to a 10 minute song. Keeping it simple it key to success, just think of a paperclip.
Channel Design and Layout
There are many ways to do a custom YouTube channel layout. Remember a lot of viewers are only seeing around 1200 pixel across so having catchy graphics related to your business on your channel will help make you stand off from the rest. Visit ckproductionsonline YouTube Channel or jaredjonesmusic2011 channel for some ideas of a cool YouTube channel design.
Top Six, Twelve or nothing at all!
You have an option to make a top six or twelve video list. You can avoid this buy dragging the videos out of the boxes so your video list would then be in order of most recent upload. So decide what works best for you. As a video production company, CKProductions is running a top 6 because we want people to see our best work as quick as possible. All of our work is great, but some of our most recent work may not be as entertaining as some of our past work.
Video Embedding
Very simple to do, just get your video embedded on your website, other forums, get links on other websites or forums. You can also embed your video on Facebook. This will help get the video out there and improve your ranking.
Commenting
Again, the more comments that are on your video the more ranking it gets. Get people talking about the video, and ask them to make a comment. Get 10 friends to comment daily for a week. 50 comments will help your ranking inch up. And don't forget to get a positive liking of the video.
Youtube Pay Counts
YouTube is likely to post a video on its main page if it sees a quick jump in views over a short period of time. The first 48 hours is crucial to getting a lot of views. The more views in a small timeframe will let YouTube know that it’s popular and should push it up in search results.
Friends and Subscribers
Get good quality friends and subscribers to your channel. After you obtain this list you you can mass email them with new video uploads. Just make sure these people like your type of work.
Online Media Marketing
Submitting your video to sites such as stumbleupon.com digg.com or other social media outlets such as facebook will help increase your videos visibility.
Offline Marketing
What about a TV commercial? Promote part of the video in a commercial and tell viewers to go to such and such to rate and watch the entire video. Do the same thing but in an audio advertisement for a radio commercial. Put a thumbnail and some catchy writing on a flyer and post it around town. Most of all get people talking about it. The more people who know about it, if it is a good video, it will spread like wildfire.
Conclusion about Marketing
This is not everything to a success video but using these techniques will help you obtain better rankings and search results and more views to your Videos on YouTube. And remember, YouTube is free, which allows you to upload any number of videos, and embed them on your website and make different settings such as making a video private so no one can view the video or unlisted so only people who have a link to the video can view the video.
