RUN CONTEST

Contests are another great way to get

your audience involved. With a single
video, you can collect viewer data,
encourage likes or comments, and gain

subscribers.

We have a whole blog post about making
the most of YouTube contests. But some

quick takeaways include:

• Start with a clear goal in mind

• Respect YouTube’s contest rules and

restrictions

• Choose a prize your viewers will
actually enjoy

• Maximize your reach with other social
channels

• Use a tool, like Hoot suite for YouTube

Blendtec is famous for its “Will it blend?”
videos. They were one of the early
adopters of the YouTube contest, with

great results.
