Hi Leslie,

That is a very interesting video. You are definitely creative.

So, your question was what to do with it?

Well, that depends on your goal.

But, if you just want to have more people view it then I would definitely recommend that you post it to Facebook. Ask your friends and family to share it on their wall. Then their friends will see it also.

One thing I would definitely recommend that you optimize your video by including the link to your blog on the description area of the video.

And, then also include key words in the video description for whatever you think interested viewers may be searching for. For example I think this is a great low-cost valentine’s gift. So somewhere in your description of the video you would include the words “valentine’s gift” or “creative food ideas”.

Hope this helps,

Tye

1. Make sure to have a good title for the video and have the keyword/phrase in it.
2. Have the keyword/phrase in the description of your video.
3. Choose the correct tag.
4. Make sure to enable embedding and sharing.

That is all. If the video is a good one, it will promote itself. I have videos on YouTube that have millions of views already and I did not do anything to promote them.

Actually put the keyword TWICE in your title. Google ranks it higher that way.
Digital Marketer actually puts out a nice 7 buck ebook showing you how to dominate with youtube videos and get them on the first page of google. I bought the course and would recommend it. I have no affiliate link so just google it.

I didn't get a chance to see this before the link was removed, but you could try Tweeting it too. It couldn't hurt.

I don't know what the purpose of your video is, but I know affiliate marketers and others looking to drive traffic by YouTube will add a link in the description. I think it's best to have the link first, then the description.

Also, depending on the video content you could try and find bloggers to let them know about it. For example, if the video is on "how to compost" then you can do a Google blog search (Google Blog Search) for the following terms; compost, composting, how to compost, etc. This will bring up results from blogs who are mentioning your topic. You can email them to let them know about your great new video. Don't spam, just politely inform that they might find it interesting.

I hope this helps,

P.S. Could you PM the link to your video?

P.P.S. The other comments suggested it was really good, you might want to consider offering video making gigs at Fiverr or something to make extra money.

To get traffic to your video there are a few things you should do. 1) make sure you have a description with your keyword in it. 2) get some links pointing back to it 3) get views to your video by social bookmarking it 4) go to fiverr.com and pay $5 to get views to your site - the more views the better your video will rank. This has worked for me in the past.

Hey I actually run a service for video creators who want to heavily market their creation and most likely go viral. I will submit your video to no less than 15 of the most popular video websites for only $10. If you don't see at least $10 worth of new visitors or viewers, I'll give you your money back.

Only offering the $10 deal for a few more days. Love the video by the way :P That makes it easier to pull traffic
