Remember that the most successful videos are those that relate an interesting and original story. Although you may feel it's easier to come up with some great content ideas but it is always better to stick to videos which don't directly relate about your product or business. Make videos which are seemingly unrelated to the product but reflects the goals of the company.

Method #2: Your video should be findable

Both within and outside of YouTube, your video should be findable. Videos usually appear on the first page of the search engines and hence they are one of the most vital ways of carrying forward your competition to the first page. You shouldn't overlook the fact that Google owns YouTube. Focus on the title, description and tags if you want to stay there. The targeted keywords should be there as the first few words of the title, you shouldn't be stingy with the description and you should make it keyword-rich. Keywords should also be included at the tags field.

Method #3: Join hands with YouTube celebrities

If you visit YouTube carefully, you will get to know that there are many YouTube users who have thousands of subscribers. You can start making a comprehensive market research to know about those YouTube users whose target audiences might be interested enough in your service or product and once you get to know with them, partner with them. Ask them to speak about you in the videos and offer them freebies in return.

Method #4: Link back to your website

Make it as simple for them as including a clickable link right as the description box of the video. Ensure looking at exactly where your traffic is coming from and in the process you may just notice that YouTube traffic is the most engaged one.

Method #5: Always include a call-to-action

Have you been recently noticing that your YouTube subscriber base is not increasing? There's no one visiting your website off late? If answered yes, just think about what you've asked your target audience to do after they've reached the end of the video. Did you place a call-to-action? Well, placing a call-to-action aligns with the results which you're going to see. Instead of asking them to purchase your product, you may ask them to join to your email list. This way you can move them from one place to the next in the sales funnel and transfer them to conversions.

Method #6: Accelerate your YouTube participation

Making YouTube videos are extremely simple and hence if you even give in your effort to upload just one video every week, you still notice a change in your traffic. Be generous with the total number of videos you put up and witness the increase in visitors.

The methods are right in front of you. You just need to imply them according to your convenience to taste the fruit of success. Now, you too can utilize your YouTube channel in the most productive way.
