3 Steps to Getting More Views to Your YouTube Videos

How to get more views of your videos on YouTube is a question I hear from my clients almost all the time.

 It really boils down to 3 things. If you get all 3 right, you'll get tens of thousands of views of your videos. If you get them wrong, you'll be like most everybody else getting 50 or fewer views to your videos, or roughly 10% of the number of subscribers you have to your YouTube channel. 

 Your Content 

I'm going to assume here that you've nailed this one. If you create videos, you're likely working hard to create great content. 

 Many of my clients get this one right, and only a few need a little help here. So if you're confident in the quality of your content, let's move on.

 Optimize Your Video

 Here's the story in a nutshell. When you post a video on YouTube, it has to get filed someplace. How that works is YouTube looks at the title of you video, it looks at the description, and then it looks at the tags you added to your video information.

 There is a bit of an art to getting this part right. If you don't get it right, you can expect roughly 10% of your subscribers will ever see your video and that's all as it will NOT show up in any search results. So if you have 500 subscribers, you could expect 50 video views on average. 

 If you optimize your video's title, description, and tags (a process that can take some time and effort for each video to get it done right) you can expect that your video will accumulate several thousand views.

This is because you are literally letting YouTube know how to file your video so that it can surface it when people search for the keywords you've optimized for in your video. 

Keep in mind that your views are NOT going to flood in! You'll accumulate views as people search for the keywords that will bring up your video. Over time, you'll get some nice numbers, but it's not instant.  

I'll admit, sometimes I'm lazy and don't bother optimizing.. And it shows in the lack of video views I get! When I do take the time to optimize my videos properly, I usually see several thousand views from YouTube traffic alone.  

Bring Your Video to the Audience

 Few people know of this step, and rely solely on YouTube to bring them views. If you're happy with the numbers you're getting organically on YouTube, then carry on. 

But, if you want to see your views explode in the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and even more views, this is what you need to do.  

You've got to be able to identify new audiences for your videos. This could be working with a company that has a large list, large social media following, or even several companies at once. 

The idea is that you work with them to have them put your video content in front of their audience.  

One client of mine, a Chiropractor, was tired of getting 25-50 views to his videos, so he hired me to help him out. Together we found a web site with more than a million active subscribers. His content was absolutely perfect for that audience. 

So we approached them and offered them a new video training my client made expressly for this web site. 

In other words, he didn't make the video public or try to promote on his own, it was only for this web site. On the day it was released, more than a million people were notified via e-mail.  

Within 34 hours, the video exploded with over 315,776 views! 

Within a week, it had gotten more than half a million views! 

But even better than that, my client had more than 3,400 new patient requests - more than most Chiropractors see in an entire career! 

Oh, and did I mention this part.. it cost him nothing. Not on the front end or the back end.  

The choice you have to make today is where do you want to play? 

Are you happy with 25-50 views of your content? 

While his numbers were incredible, they were also not that uncommon when you do this step right.  

Would you prefer to several thousand views of your video content? 

Or do you want it all and be able to put your video content in front of bigger and bigger audiences? 

I'm guessing you're like me and you want it all! 

I'd like to show you what I do to make this possible. I've got a new video training that you can access here as my guest.  

In this training, I go over a few examples of how I help my clients get in front of many new audiences in very unconventional ways - all of them costing nothing at all! 

This course won't be available for long, so if you want to watch it now, it' here!

Be Outstanding!
