5. Make your Video Findable.
• Your videos should be findable both within and
outside of YouTube. Videos often appear on the
first page of search engines, and our competition is
to place it on the top of the search results page.
For these we have to focus on three key areas.

6. Put Compelling Content First
Create Calls to Action
Here are a few important actions to use on your videos:
•Subscribe: Give your viewer a reason to subscribe (e.g., new videos every week
or never missing an episode).
•Like / Add to Favorites / Share: Ask your viewers to “like,” “favorite,” and
“share” the video so your content appears in more places across YouTube. You’ll
be amazed at the reaction you get when you simply ask for it.
•Comments: Encourage your audience to participate by asking a specific
question or requesting a topic they’d like to see covered in an upcoming video.
•Video Graphics: Create a video “end slate” that appears at the end of the video
to direct viewers to your website or related videos on our channel or partner
channel.

22. Important things to be focused
Content is King
The content is what will drive visitors back to
a site. So a video must have a decent concept,
but one shouldn’t agonize over determining
the best “viral” video possible.

23. Important tips in content
•Make it short: 1 to 3 mins is ideal
•Design for remixing: Create a video that is simple
enough to be remixed
•Don’t make an outright ad: If a video feels like an ad,
viewers won’t share it
•Make it shocking: Give a viewer no choice but to
investigate further
