It is a false rumor that videos cannot drive traffic to your website if you do not have a huge link within the video. I have recently shown that statement to be incorrect. Videos work as a marketing tool and they work very well. It’s all about how you build your brand and how you build your videos.

This article will give you three great tips on how you can start driving traffic from YouTube in a couple of days.

Tip 1 Find an audience that is interested

This step is vital and very simple. There is a nice change that you are not alone in your niche. Someone else is talking about it too. Find those competitors and send them a friend request. It’s amazing how many of those people subscribe to you even if you don’t have any videos uploaded.

Tip 2 Take care of your channel

When you’re starting a new YouTube channel, compile a list of YouTube videos others have created that are relevant to your niche. This is considered as content. Sure, you can upload videos right away if you want, but this isn’t necessary. The list also works when you’re just starting out.

Tip 3 Get involved!

I cannot stress this enough. People who actively talk to other users are more interesting. You get more fans and your videos get more ratings. YouTube is a social network, so use it as such.

I hope you can use these tips. YouTube has huge potential and is very easy to use as a marketing platform. People actually spend a lot of time there during their days, watching videos, messaging, and telling other users what they like and don’t like.

Have fun using YouTube in your marketing efforts. It is time well spent.
