How To Turn Your YouTube Viewers Into Website Visitors

January 30, 2010 by Bruce Walls 

Okay so you want to get your piece of the YouTube pie and tube the YouTuber into your own site? Okay but first beware that not all videos will get you there!

There are some type of videos that you should avoid altogether.

I am talking here about videos that don’t work!, videos that should be AVOIDED! Never ever, try your best not to, put simple plain boring COMMERCIALS videos onto YouTube! You do not have to make a video showcasing the exciting stuff that your product has to offer in a mundane infomercial Or documentary type of way. Mentioning benefits of your fantastic product and expect it to get noticed properly, let alone being enjoyed and referred to other, no not really.

For example in Television or any such medium, nobody likes the ads, well most people don’t. Some of the ads are funny and I do enjoy them. However the truth is nobody watches TV or other such medium for “watching commercials!” Though commercials are necessary, as the main source of income for the tv station, so commercials have a place in this world (they will always be here). But even the interesting and funny ads will become boring after being repeated several times in between a 2 hour movies.

So take care your video does not look like a commercial ad. You are allowed to keep the commercial aspect but don’t make, an out and out commercial video, with no interesting content. Let the commercial touch come as a side effect of it.

Okay now lets talk what you should be doing in your video to make it a viewers magnet.

Key Features in a Video that will increase your views.

There are only a few types of videos that are really, enjoyed by the tubers (you guessed it, top of the list is, all type of sex related stuff). Other than that there are a few more sober types, that can be seen with family and children, of videos most enjoyed on YouTube. They can be, out and out funny types, something really weird or shocking, or plain childish, sweet behavior or cute stuff. All other types of videos are there but mostly rusting away. I have seen a lot of videos that do not fit in my above mentioned types of highly watched stuff.

Produce something hilarious/funny/comical.

People are most vulnerable while laughing, it’s such a harmless emotion. In this stressed out time of the planet people need refreshment. We need to let out all our tensions/stresses, After a whole day time spent under pressure nothing is more pleasurable than a quick, a deep, a loud, an uncontrollable laugh! Basically the world is scarce of laughter. Supply. Add your contributions.

What better way to serve the humanity and remove that misery in people’s life than creating an out and out funny video for you product. Well, at least you will get people stress relieved and attract visitors. Easiest way to create a viral marketing campaign or Money!

It is Weird that people love to see Weird stuff.

It’s also weird that I can never remember the correct spellings for the word “weird”. Anyways weird/shocking/crazy/unbelievable stuff comes next. The crazier the better. The more unbelievable the more attractive. Wanna know some examples of weird stuff? Close your eyes and imagine stupidest stuff. People love to watch that. Sometimes even shocking disclosure of shocking stuff is even more shocking. Okay, so people love silly stuff. Crazy mishaps. Drunk peoples’ weird behaviors, something unbelievable like Alien traces or Ghost sightings and stuff like that. The weird stuff is a big puller. People view them and wish to forward to all their friends to have their taste of jaw dropping awe.

Every man or woman is a child
This means everybody has a soft side to their heart. They get excited by sweet stuff. By children acting stupid in front of camera, even the maturest of persons become child. Animals doing something unrelated to their natural instincts (eat and drop!) is also a big attraction for tubers.

People all over world love small children. Babies doing (whatever they are supposed to do) is just so exciting for some, it takes them back in time. Such types of videos are also enjoyed the most and there are many, many parents and animal lovers in the world.

So what you need to do? No, no need to have a child, and you don’t need to shelter an animal either. Just make sure your videos have some type of cuteness in it. Be it animals or children. Easy formula!

Target the free word spreaders!

There are always people who just love to share. Be it an interesting picture, song, video, or email. They will tirelessly forward the stuff to any and every (not the spammers, they are your friends mostly) person they know. They are the real advertisers of your product too. Be certain that such people do you a favor by spreading the word (without ever expecting anything in reward!).

I know one or two in my circle of friends. So make sure they get to see you videos as well and they will probably pass it on to their contacts.
