How to Create Video Content for Your YouTube Channel

create videoIf you want to create a successful video for your YouTube channel, you have to consider the goals you have and your audience. While you don’t want to make an ad-like video, providing value to your audience will help you rank higher. When creating your video, try to keep your audience in mind and focus on what they want. While knowing general information about your audience is helpful, make sure your content is focused on what they need most.

A storyboard, or visual storyboard, is an essential part of creating a video. It allows you to visualize your project and will help you stay on track with your creative vision. When the shoot day comes, make sure to have the script ready. Next, pick a location. A location can add context to your video and enhance its look and feel. Choosing an indoor or outdoor location is important because it will make the video look different than an indoor one.

How To Make $300 to $800 a Day

How To Make $300 to $800 a DayBy NOT Hijacking YouTube Videos

You’ve likely heard of a technique called YouTube Traffic Hijacking. In a nutshell, it’s finding YouTube videos that get a lot of views but don’t display a URL in the more information section. You contact the video owner and offer to either buy the video outright or lease the “more info” section. You then insert your own URL that leads to a product sales page.

Pretty simple, right? This is a viable, workable business model, and it is possible to make $300 to $800 a day, but there are three catches. First, you have to FIND these videos. The videos you seek are getting hundreds of views a day and have an accumulated number of views in the six figure range, just to be sure they’ve got what it takes to continue to get more views. And they can’t already have a URL listed for more info.

Next, these can’t be just ANY videos that meet the above criteria. For example, that video of cute kittens climbing the screen door isn’t going to sell your traffic product. Maybe you can find an affiliate product that teaches how to get kittens to not tear up the screen door, but even if you do, how many sales do you think that will result in?

20 Ways To Get People Watching Your YouTube Videos

20 Ways To Get People Watching Your YouTube VideosIn this article I will discuss  20 ways to get more people watching your YouTube videos and increasing the popularity of your YouTube channel.

  1. Create tutorial videos. These kinds of videos are good because they’re easy to make and they provide information that people need. For example, if you’re promoting a course on how to drive traffic, then talk about traffic driving methods. Impart real info, not a sales pitch. And at the end of the video, remind them to click the link below for more information.
  2. Don’t narrow your target market too much. For example, if you’re teaching people how to drive traffic, don’t make it, “How to drive traffic to an origami website.” Yes, you’ll get views from people with origami sites, but no one else.
  1. Don’t sweat the subscribers too much. It’s great to have some loyal subscribers because every time you post a video some of them will almost immediately watch and comment on the video. This gets you boosted higher in the rankings and thus more easy to find by new people who have never heard of you. They’ll leave comments, pushing you still higher in the rankings and making it even easier for people to find you. It’s your subscribers that start the ball rolling, but it’s commenters (subscribers and non-subscribers alike) who push you higher and higher in the rankings and thus get you more viewers. So while you eventually want tons of subscribers, know that even a few at the beginning will get the ball rolling.

Video Marketing Made Simple For Those New To It

Video Marketing Made SimpleTurn your company into a successful endeavour by using your time wisely. This includes engaging in marketing which actually works. This article will let you know how to leverage video marketing for reaching goals in profits and sales you once only dreamed of being able to achieve in short order.

Try outlining the path of your video. Great videos make it clear early on what will be discussed during the video. Just diving into your content will not help the viewers understand the benefits of watching it. Start with an outline like you would an essay to explain to viewers early on what to expect during the rest of the video.

Keep your marketing video short. People have short attention spans. Unless your video is spectacular and dramatic, keep it to less than a minute. If it’s too long, people will stop watching. If you really feel that a longer video is necessary, put all the important information at the beginning.

And Clears $5,000 a month!
