Sometimes, I do get tired of the Internet. Steemit does help a lot! Before steemit, I think I was stuck in recycled information on the internet: "How to make money online?"; Till date and dating from 5 years ago, that I have started research on the Internet, i tell you; it is guaranteed that you will find a recycled form of the same old info: "Make money thru Adsense, affiliates, ecommerce, download apps, YouTube. So what's new?"
I think it is high time, this changes. Steemit does a lot! Crypto stuff is a whole new world and field of Internet learning. Steemit encourage people to find new things to write on and perhaps things not on Google! You are driven to add useful information to steemit; so you starting digging better, to find some gem that the steemit community will like.
You consider the many great minds on steemit and while creating your post, you endeavor to live up to expectation; your expectation that there are great minds on steemit. That is why sometimes, you just don't know what to post, for you now consider many other things when you post. You aren't exactly posting for the sake of Google ranking etc.
Today, I decided I would work on my YouTube channel a bit and noticed something. I do think it is unconventional or experimental as you may call it, but I do think it will work when it comes to making your videos go viral or a bit viral!
Even if I don't know SEO, for instance, some things are still very obvious thus, understandable when you continually use the Internet. For instance, I may not know about browser cookies and what they do, but from constantly browsing or surfing the Internet, I would notice that gosh, 'the ads that start to appear on YouTube and Google a while after I have browsed, seem to be similar to the topics I researched on.
With YouTube too, I have noticed that playlists, hold their own space on YouTube. They come out in search results on Google on their own and under their own headlines!
When you try to create a YouTube playlist for instance; which is a group of similar videos; you will have to create a topic for this new playlist and you also have the ability to give it a description and its tags. This may be an opportunity to make your own, perhaps 'not very quality video' get views by attaching it, in a playlist to a viral quality video.
I would recommend just 2 or 3 videos in a playlist, with one or two being your videos. Now, do keyword research using google keyword tool to find keywords and additional tags that you can use, while setting up the description and tag segment of your playlist.
In this video, she gives you some tips on how to do keyword research for YouTube, to develop your description and tags:
I am still experimenting with this playlist method; but I do already think it will work!
Create new viral headlines and people will find your playlist in Google search, watch the first quality viral video and based on that; will go on to watch the second video which will be yours!
I am rushing this post, thus it won't be quality enough. Thus, I will like ideas in the comments to upbuild this post!
Additional unconventional methods that could work:
* Make fliers containing your video channel and freely give these out. You can do fliers on your own, even handwritten and give them out as much as you can. Tell people of your hustle in a short writeup and implore them to subscribe to your channel and turn on notifications.
* YouTube also has a messaging system. Just go to a channel and the about section of perhaps an upcoming youtuber with thousands of subscribers and if you are confident, those with millions of subscribers and implore them to assist you grow your channel.
I saw a channel on YouTube that went live for hours, displaying another channel all along. This new channel had 10 subscribers and before the end of the day, was already at 20k subscribers. The host channel just went live, playing random songs and displaying the channel he was helping to grow, while imploring his 9 million subscribers to subscribe to his friend's channel and it worked!
* If you have built your fone directory to up to 5 hundred people; why not try texts! 500 people is a huge number of potential subscribers. Implore them in a text to subscribe or perhaps click on your choice video to watch. Implore them too, to share to their friends. You have to be convincing in your text and your conviction will convince them; i tell you! Don't worry an SMS, will display your url as a clickable link, so, if they click on it, they will be directed to your YouTube channel or video.
* Facebook groups still work. The thing is though, people and especially people who don't know you, need to feel your conviction, thus, try a short convincing note along with your link. Pick a few of your Facebook friends, who believe in you and make them actively propagate you!
We all have a few real believers!
I will build on this post further. I had to rush this post as I am amidst work, thus, no space to really research or brainstorm!
I didn't want to research though as the Internet appears to have the same methods on this topic, recycled and recycled!
So let's try something new! Something unconventional! Please comment your ideas on this topic, in the comments!
Your boy Terry
