Useful Internet Marketing Tools on the Cheap - YouTube Insight

By Deborah E Young


If you're like me you've devoted a fair amount of time and effort to shooting, editing and posting videos on the Internet as part of your online marketing campaigns. And if you're doing that, you're probably posting them to YouTube. It is, after all, the 2-ton guerrilla in the room. If you're looking to make money online and playing in the video arena, YouTube must be one of your parking places. But are you getting all you can out of those postings? Do you know which of your videos are being viewed the most? Who's watching them? Are people commenting on your videos?


First thing that you will want to do is pick a niche that you would like to promote in. You want to make sure that the niche has some sort of potential buyers in it. To be honest, it is really not hard to find a niche where some profits can't be made. Just a little bit of market research can help. If not, go with a niche that you feel comfortable with.

Next thing you will want to do is head over to YouTube. Here is where you will want to look for videos related to our niche. We are not looking for just any old videos, we are looking for videos with a certain criteria. We are looking for videos that are no older then 3-6 months old and have a view count of 10,000 or more. You will also want to check and see if the views are on a steady increase. You can check this by clicking on the videos stats arrow at the bottom of each video.

So make sure next time you want to do a launch you fire your SEO guy and start focusing on getting your videos seen. Make them interesting and fun but don't forget the "call to action" to make them want to know more about what you have to offer.

You may find out some surprising things by using this tool. For instance, the last time I checked almost 100% of my viewers were men. (I'm trying to take that as a compliment, but I need all the women out there to step up and help me out!)

Get your videos ranked by getting a lot of views on YouTube and you'll see the traffic rush into your website or blog in no time.
