If you want to get the most out of your SEO efforts but you feel your videos are not getting the views that you’d like, then you need to try something different. One thing you have to remember is that a video must be watched to a certain point for it to be counted as a view. You may have hundreds of people watching your videos but if they don’t hit that sweet spot then they don’t count. It could be that you are not using every avenue available to you and that you need to get a bit more creative with your promotional efforts. It is possible to find some tools on YouTube that can help you to get the results that you want for your SEO efforts. You will find three tips below for getting more views on YouTube below.

Your YouTube Playlists can Help

There are few who understand fully how to use playlists to their benefit and they just use them for personal videos or videos from those in the industry that they find interesting, informational or entertaining. The fact is that there is much more that you can do with your playlist to help you get more views on your videos. Anytime keywords are searched that you have used when uploading your video your video comes back in the search results. Since you know to put all of your videos in the same playlist not only will your videos be in the search result, but your videos playlist is shown as well. It is also important to change the settings on your playlist to public for obvious reasons.

Get More Subscribers on Your YouTube Channel

Another area of YouTube that people don’t think about is getting more subscribers on their channel. If you are more focused on the amount of views you can generate rather than your subscribers then you’re really missing out. When you have a subscriber, they will receive notifications when you upload videos which mean they can watch it immediately. This increases your view count and does it more quickly than you could generate them without subscribers. Free promotion such as this should always be taken advantage of at all times. Unless you want to buy views for your videos, having subscribers is always a great way to increase your views.

Creating YouTube Video Responses

One way to get more viewers is to view the videos of others in your industry and posting a video response to their video. You want to make sure that you are not spamming them by trying to get their customers from them but you do want to generate conversation. This doesn’t have to be just on competitors or vendors; you can also do this on your subscribers’ channels and videos too. People love interaction and when they see your video response, this can generate more views on your other videos too. The more recognition people have for your channel and brand, the more likely it is that you’ll get more views on the videos you already have posted.

If you keep the above tips in mind then you should have no problem generating more views on your YouTube videos.
