Once you have finished editing your video, you can start
promoting it. You can do this in a number of ways. One way is to use the
YouTube sharing window to share your video. This window provides a variety of
options, such as a condensed link and an embed code. The embed code will allow
other users to re-share your video on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram,
Snapchat, and Tumblar. Sharing your video on these sites will help you increase
your view count.
To upload a video on YouTube, you must first have a YouTube
account. Once you have an account, you can choose which type of video you want
to upload. In addition, you can choose the level of privacy you want your video
to have. You can also choose whether or not you want to allow other people to
view your video.
Before uploading your video to YouTube, you need to create a
channel and an account. This is free and easy. You can log into your existing
account if you already have one. After you have created an account, you can add
a profile image and a banner. These elements will help your channel look
professional and established and will increase the credibility of your videos.
Before you upload your video, you must first convert it to a
supported video file format. You can find out what formats YouTube supports in
its Help section. You can create three different types of videos: public,
private, and unlisted. A public video will be available to any YouTube user,
but a private video is only visible to people who have the URL address.
Once you have your video ready, you need to choose a title
and a description. The title should be descriptive and no longer than seven or
ten words. You can also use keywords in the description box. The title and
description must match the content of your video. Choose a title and
description that best describes what your video is about and what you plan to
share with others.
In the description of your video, make sure to include
relevant keywords that viewers are likely to search for. Your description will
show up below the title of your video, and will appear next to the thumbnail in
search results. You can also include a timestamp, which can help viewers find
your video easily.
If you're not sure if you want to release your video
immediately, you can schedule it to be released later. You can also create
playlists for your videos based on the elements of the video. You can also use
tags to identify your video and help people find it. Remember to use simple
phrases rather than long-tail keywords when tagging your video.
A good thumbnail will grab viewers' attention. YouTube
automatically chooses three of your videos for thumbnails, but it's important
to create your own custom thumbnail for your video. It's important to make your
thumbnail catchy. For example, if you're talking to a friend in the video, you
should include their face in the thumbnail. If you're selling a product, you
can use an image of that product as a thumbnail.
