YouTube vids for site promotion.

[Timothy]

Have any of you tried YouTube to promote your sites? I have two promotions running right now to promote my online Drafting School. They're at Online Drafting School and so far I've gotten like 45% response and haven't really advertised them yet. It just takes a bit of effort on your part to create the video, but it does pay off.

I thought about it over the passed years but I never got around of doing it. My channel isn't that big and when I do upload I never get that much reviews and so my guess it be the same for promoting site video

 

[Timothy]

Yeah, with everything, it takes work to build a fanbase.

I'd like to use YouTube to promote some drumming stuff. However, I don't like to talk in videos - but that's not necessarily needed in that case.

I've been thinking of doing this for a while now, but I haven't gotten around to actually doing it. It looks a ton of work and on top of that, I'm like super lazy.

I’ve had videos in the past made for me but they didn’t get a lot of attention. It was a waste of time and money for me. I’ve found just advertising around different forums/website ads, helped me more than anything.

I left them due to some reasons, but they brought some great things such as visitors to my site, but never tried products, etc.

Should of made it as free as you can other then wasting your money on a video that won't get the full attention. YouTube is another good platform that requires allot of work to get reviews,

I agree that it require a lot of effort, but really it pays off in the end if our products are great. i never thought YouTube really works, but most of them are driving traffic to their sites.

A lot of people are watching in YouTube, so it's a good thing.

 

[nnacrter]

They used this strategy especially on Most played videos. They know that they can endorse on YouTube subscribers/viewers.

Yes, I've tried using YouTube as a way of marketing. Firstly, It will only work if you build a fan base and requires a lot of time and effort but it will pay of in the end if your goods and services sell successfully. Read here about how to advertise your ad on YouTube.

 

[bharath]

That is an advertising on websites, but we can get relevant followers when we are in big channels, I tried in the past and got some results due to no time I left them.
The above link goes to the adwords, but those who dont have money to advertise then what will be the condition?

 

[Pinto]

You need to create a channel with good contents to get subscribers, only then you can start promoting. it will tale little bit more work and money but its doable.

 

[Rey1]

If you know what you are doing it could work

 

[kingcool52]

I haven't tried and I probably wouldn't try really. The effort to make a proper and good YouTube video to promote your site is probably not worth it. I think there are much better ways to advertise and promote your site.

 

[weboogle]

Sounds like a good idea.

 

[jyy1]

To make a YouTube subscriber base grow, I'd assume you'd need advertising on other platforms (Facebook, AdWords etc..).

Does YouTube have a in-house way to increase a channel?

 

[Ash]

I believe you can purchase advertisements on-site for your videos where they might be promoted before someone else's video or highlighted as a sponsored video on the YouTube site somewhere. But those can be quite expensive.

Personally, I have never tried YouTube videos for site promotion. Like Jason said, you'd have to advertise the video itself and that would just take effort and time away from your actual site.

Youtube is a great way for advertising a brand or business. But it will only be helpful if the content is good enough to engage viewers as this will help in getting good response, subscribers and views on your channel.
