traffic to your online videos…..
And I’m going to show you 4 great strategies that will send a
stampede of visitors to your videos within days or sometimes even hours.
Guaranteed.
Anyway, let’s cut to the chase and dive right in!
Strategy # 1:
Leave intelligent comments on high-traffic blogs/forums
This simple, yet amazingly powerful technique can greatly
increase the number of hits your videos generates, so you might want to put this
at the top of the list.
And, we all know that more traffic to your videos = more
exposure for your website, don’t we?
So here’s how you implement this technique:-
 First, you want
to make a list of blogs/forums that come under the target market of your video.
Next, spend
time to read through the latest posts and see where you can fit in a useful comment on the article in question.
Now when typing
a comment, you need to make sure it’s brief, yet relevant and informative. Then, insert your bio, along with
the link to your video.
Strategy # 2:
Utilize the power of a simple Press Release
Submitting a well-written press release is a terrific way to
promote your video!
Investing a mere $80 at

(the No.1 choice of most internet marketers), can not only send tons of targeted
traffic to your video + your website, but also generate plenty of one-way incoming
links to your site.
(This will help increase your rank in search engine results).
So go ahead and write up an informative and compelling press
release. (Don’t forget to insert links to your video in it!)
Strategy # 3:
Ensure that your videos are search engine-friendly
Here are some tips on VSEO or video search engine
optimization:
Include plenty
of targeted keywords in your title description.
Make sure you
use Meta data.
It’s also a
good idea to end your video clip with a catchphrase such as ‘why not forward this to a friend if you enjoyed watching it!’
or something like that.
Remember to
encode multiple file types.
Finally, you
need to submit the url of your video for indexing.
