5 Underrated Strategies Marketing In YouTube That Nobody Talks About

One of the biggest platforms has established the power and reach of YouTube, it is an online juggernaut boasting over 2.7 billion logged-in monthly users. YouTube offers an unrivalled opportunity for marketers to connect with vast audiences through compelling video content. After years of experimentation and trial and error, leaders have identified takeaways for those navigating the dynamic realm of YouTube marketing.

I have spotlighted insights leveraging the platform’s influence while sidestepping common pitfalls that might hinder their marketing endeavours.

1. SEO is an integral part of every social networking platforms

Don’t forget to use SEO for YouTube. First, the right keywords with the title, description and hashtags will help you bring more audience and viewers to your short and long form of videos. Second, SEO will also give you additional visibility in organic Google results, especially for informational search queries. Use your keyword analysis as you would use it for your landing pages or blog posts.

2. Discover your channel strategically

You can’t just throw things on YouTube and hope your audience finds them. Just like any other channel, you have to have a strategy associated with it. Part of this strategy should be the distribution of your YouTube videos. Are you hosting them on your site? Sending them out via email? Including them in your blogs? Sending them out a WhatsApp? Get creative and strategic with the distribution.

3. Focus On Thought Leadership

Our goal is to create content that brings the audience to one place, that comes across as credible and believable, versus content that hard sells. Most prospects do not like to be “sold to, “so our goal is to sell without selling and implement thought leadership style content specifically designed to position our clients as the experts in their segment. I believe this creates credibility resulting in greater engagement and response.

4. Add The Creative Part

Creativity is the most valuable part of using YouTube for marketing. Because that’s what people looking for on the internet. Consumers experience sensory adaptation and essentially block out the same ads over time. So, we are being aggressive after seeing the same ads a thousand times about feeding 6-12 new creatives monthly into our YouTube tests so we can give tests so can give those tests the best chance of success over time.

5. Use short-form videos and keep your potential audiences engaged.

If you are familiar with the content form then it would likely keep you engaged and getting more reach. The longer the videos, the more people would not take an interest in seeing them. Uploading longer, engaging videos to YouTube instead of just creating shorts that keep people engaged with your content. YouTube for your longer videos and use Instagram, Facebook, etc., for short videos which are a minimum of 30 to 60 seconds. You can promote your longer YouTube videos by posting short promo videos on other social media accounts.
