Why YouTube? With over 110 million unique visitors a month who watch, on average, 65 videos per month, why would you want to be excluded from that? There are loads of opportunities available to market your product or service and expand brand awareness. Of course you’ve got to start somewhere so create an account, setup a channel and get it looking how you want it to look.
The YouTube Search Algorithm puts a lot of stock in the following five things ? Title, Description, Tags, Number of Views and Rating. If you’ve got the first three done right, you should do well in the last two. But for successful YouTube Marketing you need to have content that people want to see.

You not only need interesting content, you need to optimize for the search engines. Since YouTube processes over 3.5 billion searches a month it’s the 2nd largest search in the world. Optimization means having a very good, concise title, highly relevant tags (keywords), and a great description. In regards o the description, it’s always good to include a clickable link in the first 27 characters. Why 27? Well that’s the length of descriptions prior to ellipsis (the three dots you click to read more). Use a major keyword or tag as the clickable link as well and it will save space and be useful.
Branding via URLs and phone numbers in your video is also a good idea. Also have a call-to-action which will lead people to your site and services in the video. Make sure you get the branding or call-to-action in the thumbnail as well. When you have your videos available, dropping links on popular videos helps, but be careful, don’t make them look like spam. If your product or brand ties into other popular videos in some way, make spin-off videos. That will get you listed in related videos and more visibility.
