How To Get More Views On YouTube – My Top 5 Tips

by Gideon Shalwick on February 17, 2010 · 95 comments

Over the last few years, especially the last 12 months, I’ve been getting a lot of people asking me how to get more views on YouTube.

Well, inside today’s video I reveal 5 of my biggest and most powerful tips for getting some seriously high views on YouTube.

In fact, these are some of the very same strategies I used to help me build over 18,000 subscribers to one of my email lists over the last 10 months – pretty powerful stuff.

And if you’d like to see how I did it in detail, just go here:

Hey Gideon,

I really love your videos. Great info presented in simple ways. I’ll definetely build YouTube into my online strategies.

I do have one question about YouTube vidoes though. If you offer a service to customers, can you advertise that service on YouTube? For example, can you say in your videos “Hey, I got this really cool service. Go here to check it out. I hope you’ll like it…blah-blah”? Are you allowed to do that, or will YouTube kick your sorry @ss out of their site if you try doing something like that?

Thanks a lot!
Zsolt

Hey Zsolt

So far YouTube does not seem to mind commercial messages.

But one never knows what they may do in the future.

[..YouTube..] the reason i searched 4 this is becouse i have over 100 vids
and my most viewed vid have 2500 views in 1 and a half months
and then i click on some other channel and have like 5 vids
and mostly of the 5 vids are over 2000 views

it kinda pisses me off

[..YouTube..] Its so sad how these pathetic losers are begging for these damn “subscribers”. Do you all get it? Doesn’t matter how many “subscribers” you all beg for….a majority of them are NOT going to watch your videos no matter how sucky or good they may be.
There is no way of trying to increase your view count on this hellhole of a site.It’s all based on luck.
Just look at all these freaking youtube partners…notice all the similarities. You have to be just like that. How sad.
Just keep making vids.

Great tips and yeah these are really your secrets! :) Thankfully I’m getting a bit on track on being viewed much better now since I started producing not only keyword-optimized title and description but also showing instructional videos which I saw “How-To” ones are really getting high demand on search.

Thanks a lot man.

91 czeko92 July 29, 2010 at 1:42 pm

[..YouTube..] I agree with all these tips, but I know (from my experience) that there’s one more tip to get you more subscribers. Its very simple. Basicly just dont get involved in arguments with youtube trolls. There are people who will hate every video and they will dislike it and they’ll also post bad comments on your videos. I say….just ignore these people. Be nice to everyone because people will more likely subscribe to nice person than some cocky person. That’s just my opinion though.
