Creating your videos is only half the battle. The other half is getting
people to watch them. If you want to present yourself as a serious
and professional video creator, you’ve got to promote your videos
and grow your following.
It is okay not to have a lot of views or audience interaction when
you start out. Everybody has to start somewhere, and some
channels naturally have more mass appeal than others, which
gives them an advantage in picking up new viewers. But as you
create and publish more videos, your viewership should grow over
time. Having lots of videos, but almost no views, can make your
channel seem amateurish to the viewers who do come along. So
how can you promote your videos effectively as a beginner? Here
are a few strategies to start with. Put your videos in the
appropriate formats for social media. If you’re using Wave.video,
you can easily resize your video for any major social media
platform. Upload your videos to the channels your target audience
uses. Don’t waste too much energy promoting your videos on
platforms that aren’t popular with your audience. Writing good
descriptions, using keywords, and tagging your videos correctly can
help you get more views. Publish new videos regularly. Fresh
content tells viewers that your channel is active and growing. This Promote Your Videos
makes them more likely to come back. Interact with your audience
as much as possible. Respond to comments, answer questions,
and thank viewers for taking the time to watch your videos.
