How to Drive Traffic to Your Website or Blog Using YouTube Video Responses

Internet Marketing with YouTube Video Responses

If you're not using YouTube to market your website or your blog, you should be. You will drive traffic to your website or blog in no time if people like your videos. But even better than getting your own video views doing what you do with your videos, why not leverage the power of someone else's popular videos to get your videos even more traffic? Increased traffic to your videos means increased traffic to your website, which means increased business for you. Increase your traffic and you will make more money with your website.

Things You'll Need

• digital camera or webcam
• niche website or online business

Instructions

1. Create a video related to your niche and post it on YouTube.

2. Search YouTube for popular videos in your niche. You're looking for other people, your competitors, who are basically doing the same thing you're doing. The difference is, you're looking for people who have a ton of video views. Views in the 10,000 are good. If you can find someone in the 100,000s - fantastic!

3. Watch the video your competitor created. The reason for doing this is twofold. You can only make an intelligent comment / response if you have watched the video. But even more importantly, you can learn from your competition. There is something about that video or the person doing the video that makes them successful. See if you can harness some of that popularity and change what you're doing to make your business more successful.

4. Sign in to your YouTube account.

5. Create your video response. You can do that down below the video just above where people post comments. Choose "post a video response."

6. Add your video to your video response. Click the link that says, "Choose a video." Remember, you must already have uploaded the video to your YouTube account. You cannot grab a video off your computer and post it as a video response without first uploading it to YouTube.

7. Choose the button that says, "Respond with this video." Your video will now appear as a response to your competitor's popular video. Your traffic will increase if you post relevant video responses on other people's videos.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure your video has relevant, useful content. Otherwise people will not return to see what else you have.

• Do not spam. Your video must be relevant. Post your video responses only when appropriate. Otherwise your visitors will not come back.
