Get More YouTube Views With This Creative Method - Marketing - Viral Marketing

If you have an ounce of creativity and know how to use some simple movie making software, this method can get you a lot of views on youtube or any other video aggregator site. And it is totally free to do.

If you are like me, then you love to create and have a sense of humor.This article will discuss a way you can get a lot of hits to your videos on YouTube and increase your exposure to your channel without spending any money to do it.

For those of us who are internet marketers, picking a topic relevant to your target market would be a wise idea, otherwise you'll get plenty of traffic but it won't necessarily be targeted.

First, you need to familiarize yourself with a program like iMovie for the Mac. Second, you will need to use the site VIXY.net if you plan to do a parody like I did. Vixy.net allows you to download a video and convert it to a file that can be manipulated by your movie editor.

What did I do? Well, I was trying to think outside the box on how to get more traffic to my videos and ultimately my YouTube channel. It dawned on me to figure out a way to ride on someone else's popularity. I mean someone who has a video that's getting hundreds of thousands to millions of hits and is also fairly recent. Then make a video response to their video.

I came across a video by the YouTuber, TheCatsPyjaaaamas, with their The two Talking Cats video /watch?v=z3U0udLH974. After watching it, I thought it would be funny to parody it like mad movies with voice overs and sound effects. Well, very quickly I found out that dozens of other people already had the same idea and one in particular did the best and also got by far the most views. His handle is klaatu42 and his parody was RE Cat Talking, Translation, /watch?v=1JynBEX_kg8. This guy did what I was thinking of doing. Undeterred, i thought of other ideas that I could do to stand out. i actually came up with not one, but two video responses using my own flavor of humor. This way I could have one response for both the original video and the almost as popular klaatu42 parody.

I had fun doing this, even though it did take me several hours of editing to do them since I had never done much with overdubbing. But it was a good learning process on video making.

The results of doing these videos was that I ended up with top 100 honors for the first few weeks in the pet catagories. Also, what's more, they both received 1000s of views - 7 to 8 thousand each, which is way more views than all of my other videos i had done in the past. And this was achieved in just a few weeks.

So with some creativity, you too can get more traffic to your channel. Here's my two video responses for proof of what I am saying: /watch?v=lOqykqPeIZ4 and /watch?v=AjCeSPNgFms

This is just one example of thinking outside the box on how to ride on another's popularity to increase your own.It still boils down to content. If you do something good people will talk about it and watch it.
