1 – The most frequently searched videos are “how-to” videos. These show the viewer how to perform some particular action. When you make a video tutorial, users searching for related information will find your video, and your viewer base will reflect your niche market.

5 – Decide what kind of tone you want your videos to exhibit and stick with it. Though “how-to” videos are most popular, they are not required for a great following. Humor can often work even better. Make sure you get to know your audience so you can better cater your videos to their liking.

9 – Share your videos. There’s no use making a video if you’re not going to help people see it. Whenever you have a new video, post about it on your blog or website.

12 – If you’re not into the traditional video formal, consider doing a podcast. With podcasts you will better be able to reach a larger audience and can potentially charge a small fee to listen to your best talks.

13 – A few ways to get viewers is to relate your video to interesting news or amusing them with a demonstration. Using video hosting sites can boost traffic, but a boring video will quickly disintegrate any audience you may have. People crave entertainment, and the best way to build an online community is to make videos that interest people.

14 – Use humor. As stated above, nobody watches boring videos, and everyone yawns during an infomercial. Funny, colorful videos are the ones that catch a viewer’s attention. Be creative, be different, and you will create a memorable advertisement that people will want to share with their friends.

16 – If you have a generous budget for your marketing video, consider paying to upload your videos on popular sites in your niche. But don’t use just any service that may place your videos on unrelated sites or as pop-ups, use statistics and surveys to see what sites your audience actually visits.

19 – Take your follower’s comments personally. Don’t forget that the main purpose of your videos is to attract more viewers, and you won’t be able to do that if people think you don’t care about them. Listening to your follower’s opinions makes them feel as if they are important to you and your company, and may become lifelong patrons.
