I recently attended a TV presenters course at Pinewood
Studios where they produced all the Harry Potter and James Bond films (it was
awesome). During the course we were told that the BBC has seven full time
people just scouring YouTube to discover talent and possible programmes.
YouTube is the second most powerful search engine and
companies and individuals who know how to use it are reaping the profits.
My channel www.youtube.com/salestips
has 600 videos with 6,000 subscribers and over 3 million views.
The
challenge is that companies are now becoming adept at producing great videos,
but they generate very few views.
Take
a look at the new Evian Babies video that generated 57million views in 3 months, now
sitting on 97 million views - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfxB5ut-KTs
I
have realized how important it is to get the views – take a look at a video I
made 3 months ago that has generated 53,000 views - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agzka9UgKTE
and one I made 5 days ago that has
generated 400 views - https://www.youtube.com

Here
are the important factors that YouTube take into consideration in ranking your
videos and resulting in more views.

I have also found that it is important to kick-start
your videos and for the important videos I will pay to get them past those critical
benchmarks of 300 and 2,000 views
Some
ideas for kick starting your videos:

for adwords - I normally have a
budget of £10
Virool – here I have a
budget of $25
