Found Any Secrets To Get YouTube to Promote Your Videos?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Waikoloa Vacation Rentals

We have been using YouTube as a platform to host many of the videos for our website for a few years.  While we have been able to get some views directly from YouTube, we do not get as many as we would like.

Interestingly enough, YouTube has promoted several of our videos and they have gotten substantial more views than other videos without there being a significant different in videos.

We use relevant hashtags on all of them and for the most part they are videos on scenic places on the Big Island of Hawaii so not necessarily is one video significantly more attractive than another.  

Has anyone had any luck figuring out what might trigger YouTube to promote one video versus another?

Here are two videos that we have posted that are pretty similar, but YouTube promoted one and not as much the other.

Hi Rob- I'm no expert but as ActiveRain Member Support suggested, Andrew Mooers | 207.532.6573  and Ben DeHaven are the ones to ask. And on Thursdays, Craig Daniels has YouTube Thursdays that he posts here.

     Rob Dalton ... why YouTube recommends or not is all tied to how the audience reacts and engages with your video platform.

     I see 116,710 for views and 170 subscribers, 46 videos. When those numbers increase, so will YouTube recommendations. Your latest videos show up as 5, 6 months ago. For success, your channel needs feeding more than once a week. 

     The YouTube secret recipe. Please follow our YouTube Thursdays group for inspiration and fine tuning hacks for your channel and share your experiences! Like blogging, it is not one or two adjustments and then here we go viral. If it was that easy, everyone would be clicking their heels to bring it all home.

This clip shows the pretty blue green water but no narrative, no familiar intro, outro and optimization. Weave in map graphics, animated facts, tell a story and talk to your audience. Good luck!

Hey everyone!  Thanks for all the responses.  That was as exciting as some of the information I received.  I have been on ActiveRain for a long time and it seemed like things were dying down.

Some great help here on this blog Rob Dalton

Thank you for asking for help as I need it to in regards to not only YouTube but almost all areas of marketing.  I sometimes wonder how I am quite successful despite doing such a poor job on social marketing.
