Let’s Get Started Using YouTube to Increase Traffic

Read the Following Q & A for how to get started increasing traffic to your website.

What video creator can I use to create my video?

In order to create the videos you have a few options which include both paid options and free options. To start, if you are a newbie, start with the free options.

You can use screen-o-matic or jing. These are great tools. You can capture a video of your screen and adjust how much of the screen you want to include in your video.

Sound is captured using a microphone. You can use a regular microphone, but I find that headphones work just as well.

The great thing is you can include your live streaming picture on the screen along with the presentation itself. If you are looking to brand yourself it is a great options. Having a face to look at helps retention time of the viewers.

The best paid version cantasia, This is a bit pricey, but you can edit the shoot, edit, and upload with that software. And, the quality is amazing. Just remember, increasing traffic using YouTube is your goal. You want to  get people to your website. You don’t need perfections, you need exposure.

How long should my video be?

Short and packed with content is more important that long and drawn out with little to share. With the free options of video capture you are limited to 5 minutes. With paid versions you get more time.

You can use the 5 minute mark as a guideline to help you create modules. When you create a series (of anything) you are more likely to be perceived as an expert on the topic. Viewers are more likely to come back for more if you have short, useful videos any way.

What if I don’t have the face for video?

Get over it. Not everyone is a pretty face. Not everyone has a voice of a broadcaster. That’s why we are not a news anchor.

You are promoting your service, produce, or brand. It’s all about you and your goal: using YouTube to increase traffic to your website.

Believe it or not, people want to see a face, no matter what it looks like. It gives a human edge to the otherwise in human content on the web. Practice being in front of the camera. play with the lighting and just start making videos.

Can I use any video capture tool to upload videos to YouTube?

No. Not all video makers are created equal if you want to use them to upload to YouTube or your website.

I suggest you stick to options listed above. You will need another software to convert your video to the proper format if you tray from the ones listed above. It’s all about keeping it simple.

How do I post my URL on the YouTube page?

To increase traffic using YouTube, including your URL is a must. After you upload your video put your URL in the description. Make it the first thing you type. Be sure to include the http:// before your URL.

This way your viewers will see your website because it is above the fold on the screen.

How do I get people to click on my link?

If you want something you need to ask for it. After providing your viewers with the information, TELL them to click on your link for addition information on the topic you are providing.

Tell them to click on your link to sign up for your free newsletter. Tell them to click on the link to see additional videos on your site. What ever you have to offer at your site tell them about it and click on the link.

Is there a way to get the viewer back to my website?

Because your goal is to increase traffic using YouTube you have to think of video as the doorway to your room of information. If all you offered was a doorway with nothing to see in the room there is no reason to step over the threshold and enter.

Entice you viewer with additional videos and information back at your site. Whether it’s a fan page or a blog, give them content that is en extension of what  they watched. Again, if you want something, you have to ask for it. tell them to click the link below to get more …bonus content by way of videos, newsletters, training, resources, guidance. You get the idea.

Without traffic your website is an island with  no tourists. You need to create a map on how your visitors are going to get there. You can increase traffic using YouTube. It’s essential if you want to maximize your marketing efforts.

In this age of information be sure to make a special effort to create a feeling of community through human interaction. If you have a blog, tell your readers about your YouTube videos and direct them to your channel. All this will please the search engines and boost your SEO.

Blessing and prosperity to you.
