How to Promote Videos on YouTube
- Build a habit of watching videos
If you want all the videos on your channel to be suggested, make your channel recognizable to viewers. You need to build a brand for your channel by:- Having a memorable channel name
- Creating fresh and interesting content
- Using familiar imagery
- Quickly increase views
For YouTube videos, to have them suggested more often, ensure they meet another criterion: a high number of views in the initial period after upload.
YouTube relies on the view rate of new videos with similar topics to suggest them. For example, if there are 100 videos on the same topic and your recent video has a significantly higher number of views, it will be prioritized for recommendations by YouTube.
In summary, for a video to be suggested on YouTube, it needs to have a steadily increasing view count compared to others. - Get your video to the top of search results
This involves optimizing techniques such as:- Optimizing title tags
- Optimizing descriptions
- Optimizing tags
- Linking videos across multiple platforms
- Increases views for videos consistently
- Helps videos get suggested more often
- Create videos on hot topics
For example:
Recently, the international music group BTS released a hot MV titled: BTS (방탄소년단) 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima.
In less than a day, the MV garnered over 50 million views, an impressive number.
Immediately, a series of related videos such as "Reaction 'ON' Kinetic Manifesto Film: Come Prima" were created.
These reaction videos also saw a rapid increase in views. With possibly not less than 1000 such reaction videos appearing within a few days, each averaging 100,000 views, it's evident that YouTube recommendations are driving significant traffic to related videos. - Include related videos in playlists
Another way to increase recommendations for your videos is to group related videos into playlists.
Such a playlist can contain several videos, either solely from your channel or including videos from other channels as well.
By adding videos from other channels that have high views or are top search results, you aim to help your channel's videos get recommended more often from videos with the potential to attract more views during this time.
