Create your video

  • Focus on something fun, something that people will want to share with friends.

  • Make your videos catchy from the first 20 seconds, either by its music, or by a funny approach of your subject. Online video users zap way faster than regular audience.

  • Your best chance of creating a highly-viewed video is to make sure that your running time is around the five minute mark or less. If your video is longer, you can split it up in segments you will be able to later combine in a playlist.


Publish your video

  • Choose the right category and tags for your video. Check the tags of the popular videos in your niche, and search for less popular categories that fit your content to limit the competition. Sticking to some of the competition keywords may help you appear in their related content list, thus increasing your audience.

  • Match your title and description to the tags to create consistency, and write a real description, ie with a real textual content that will provide information.

  • Create playlists. Taking the time to search for relevant videos to yours and offering them in thematic lists will gain you the audience. This is also where you can put the segments from a too long video you have broken up. Choose also videos with a few amount of views into your playlists, you will thus propose fresh and new content.
