How to increase traffic to your website or blog using YouTube

If images are meant to speak a 1000 words, then imagine the power of videos. Writing great content about your business will generate good traffic to your website, but combining it with a video marketing strategy will boost your visitor engagement further.

One of the main reasons why YouTube is such a powerful medium, is because over 3 billion people watch videos on YouTube every day. This presents a fantastic opportunity, whereby your message has the potential to reach a significant amount of prospective clients.

How to Promote your Content
  • Once your video is uploaded to YouTube, ask a web developer to embed it into your website. This is especially useful if the video is a “How To” guide, as it helps to promote you as an authority figure in your industry.
  • Promote your video through all other social networks – give your video the best possible opportunity of being viewed, liked, and shared
Engage with other YouTube users
  • Build a following - Liking and subscribing to other YouTube accounts will persuade others to follow your account
  • Respond to any comments posted, making sure to answer questions in detail to give the impression that you are approachable – they may be willing to engage further, or even employ your services
With the scope that YouTube provides for businesses, it should really form an integral part of any business’ strategy.

Don’t forget to check Google Analytics to review the traffic obtained from this source – you may find the user behaviour is different to other methods of driving web traffic to your site, and you can then evolve your overall strategy accordingly.
