Part 2: Launching the Video For Viral Traffic

When it comes to viral marketing, in this case viral videos, you should take note that this kind of advertising won’t work wonders at all unless you optimize it. Here are some ways in which your viral videos can really become contagious.

• Post Them:

a. On Video Sharing Sites

When you want to increase traffic to your website through viral videos, you should take note that the best thing to do is post it or launch it in sites that allow you to do so. There are a lot of sites out there that give you this service for free. Don’t just pick any site to post your video. Choose the site where traffic is heavy, such as YouTube.

Just because you have uploaded your video in YouTube doesn’t mean that you will automatically have increased traffic to your website. You need to post it on other websites as well. Remember that not all people view YouTube. What’s more is that there are still some people who do not know YouTube. So post your videos on a lot of sites to make sure you got your bases covered.

b. On Sites in Your Niche

Video sharing sites are not the only places where you can post your videos. You can look for sites that have a similar niche as your own and make use of their forums. There, you can post a reply along with your video in it or simply put a link to your video.

When you do either of these two, make sure that the forum allows web links/ URLS and videos or else you’ll be classified as a spammer. Also, make sure that you are posting a really good and decent reply to, again, avoid being considered as a spammer. As you are well aware of, spammers often get blacklisted from forums. With your goal, you wouldn’t want to lose this advertising venue/ opportunity.

c. Using Your Social Networking Accounts

There are dozens of social networking sites. If you have accounts in 1, 2, 3 or more of these, make use of them. Use them as a way of letting people know of your site by posting your viral video on your profile page. After all, social networks have a lot of users and viewers; so never miss this opportunity.

• Blog It Out

Did you know that your blog is a good way to let people indirectly view your video? It is. What you can do is to make a blog post about your video, or something that can be connected to it, and put your video’s link along with it.

Have your video hosted by a video hosting site, copy its URL, make a blog post, paste the URL, post the blog, and submit an RSS feed. To make sure that the blog is really noticed, and use keywords that are hotter than hot in search engines in your content.

• Email Your Subscribers

So you have a fledgling website or blog site that you want to increase traffic to. With this, make use of your subscribers. Email them a newsletter that talks about the updates in your site. While you’re at it, either embed your video in the newsletter or put the web link to your video’s location.

When you email your subscribers, also ask them to pass on the information to their friends or people in their contacts list. If you don’t have the guts for it, simply make sure that the video is interesting enough so that your subscribers will automatically forward it to their contacts without your asking.

• Make Write Ups with It

Another way of getting your viral video around is to write articles about it or ones that contain it or its web link. Make sure that the article is really informative and appealing so that people will take the time to read it and watch your video.

Once you have your write up ready post it on sites that allow you to submit articles. Aside from being able to link your video to websites whose traffic you strive to equal, you will also have the opportunity to get paid- as long as the site do pay for submitted articles.

• Social Bookmark It

Still another way to get your video viewed, passed around and thus, advertise your site, is making use of social book marking sites. The main point of these sites is so that you can save links of your favorite websites and bookmark them. You can share these with other people or so you can easily access the sites via the saved web links. So, save your video’s URL in there and share it with others.
