With online video growing ever so more popular and away to get high amounts of targeted traffic to your website a YouTube account is a must have for any marketer. If your camera shy or don’t like to talk in your videos you should still create an account.

Whiteboard videos can be easily created without you standing in front of the camera and you don’t even have to say one word, but can still get your message across to the masses.

Now after looking at a number of different YouTube accounts, and researching what it takes to get a lot of video views I’ve come to the conclusion that you first off need to get people to subscribe to your YouTube page. Subscribers will get an email and are notified each and every time you post a new video. This will get you almost instant traffic to your video.

The second most important thing is discussion. Your video must have some comments if you wish to increase your video views. If you get a lot of comments your view might even make it to the most discussed page and be seen by even more people

This can all be done with very little work and effort on your part, and the benefits of it could be huge for you. So if you haven’t already done so sign up for a free YouTube account and start cranking out 1 or 2 videos a week.

“Update about my video”

I’m waiting for my new green screen I order to come in. It should be here today or tomorrow, and once I do get it I will record a video using the new methods I’ve learned in Web Video University and post it here for you to see.
