HOW  TO  GENERATE  FREE  LEADS  FROM  YOUTUBE  AND    

CREATE  A  PROFITABLE  CHANNEL

VIDEO  MARKETING  IS  THE  MOST  SUCCESSFULLY  USED  MARKETING  TOOL  TODAY...

IN  FACT,  YOUTUBE  IS  THE  SECOND  MOST  USED  SEARCH  ENGINE  IN  THE  WORLD  (BEHIND  GOOGLE).

There  are  lots  of  things  you  can  do  for  your  business  on  YouTube:  

introduce  your  brand,  collect  leads,  present  your  products,  educate  your  audience,  and  many  more…

BUT  only  if  you  know  how  to  press  the  right  buttons…

You  could  have  THOUSANDS  of  leads  joining  your  email  list  on  

autopilot.

Sure  the  BBC  (Big  Business  Club)  has  way  more  money  than  you  to  dump  

into  marketing…

But  all  your  small  business  needs  is  CREATIVE  and  ENGAGING  content  to  

compete.

Lucky  for  you,  it’s  easy  to  create  a  YouTube  channel…you’ll  just  need  some  time  to  make  it  rock.

Use  these  7  steps  to  generate  free  YouTube  leads  and  create  

a  profitable  channel…

#1  CREATE  A  WELL-­‐DESIGNED  YOUTUBE  CHANNEL

A  channel  trailer  is  a  great  way  to  hook  your  prospects.  Make  it  attention  

grabbing,  1-­‐2  minutes  in  length,  and  focused  on  your  business’s    Unique  Selling  Proposition…

Consider  getting  YouTube  channel  art  made  at  Fiverr  and  99designs,  or  Canva  if  you  want  to  do  it  yourself.

#2  BOOST  TRAFFIC  WITH  YOUTUBE  KEYWORD  RESEARCH

When  it  comes  to  YouTube  marketing,  keyword  research  isn’t  just  the  first  step…it’s  an  important  

one  that  can  help  you  take  a  serious  shortcut  to  success.

We  use  the  Google Adwords Keyword Planner  to  generate  a  list  of  popular  keywords.

Invest  the  time  and  effort  it  takes  to  generate  a  list  of  key  words  and  phrases  that  your  best  prospects  are  likely  to  be  

searching  for.

#3  YOUTUBE  VIDEO  CONTENT  RULES  OF  ENGAGEMENT

Once  you’ve  created  a  list  of  solid  keywords,  the  next  step  is  to  create  video  content.

Focus  on  just  ONE  specific  topic  in  each  video  -­‐  the  videos  you  create  must  be  ULTRA  SPECIFIC.

Before  2014,  YouTube  ranked  videos  that  simply  had  a  lot  of  views  over  a  short  period  of  time  at  the  top…

The  emphasis  now  is  on  quality  and  engagement.

And  ranking  priority  is  given  based  on  ‘watch’  time…

As  long  as  you’re  creating  valuable,  engaging,  ultra  specific  video  content  that  people  watch  all  the  way  through,  you  have  a  

shot  at  the  top.

Shorter  videos  perform  better  than  longer  ones.  In  fact,  we  like  

to  keep  them  between  2-­‐5  minutes.

Don’t  get  ahead  of  yourself  with  video  editing…some  of  the  best  YouTube  videos  were  actually  shot  on  a  smartphone!

To  keep  viewers  coming  in  and  score  free  leads  with  YouTube,  cultivate  

consistency  with  your  YouTube  videos.  If  you  decide  to  publish  a  video  every  week,  make  sure  you  do  so.  If  it’s  4  

videos  per  week,  keep  it  up.

FIND  A  SCHEDULE  THAT’S  REALISTIC  YOU  CAN  STICK  TO.

#4  USE  SIMPLE  YOUTUBE  SEO  STRATEGIES  TO  BOOST  TRAFFIC

Your  primary  goal  is  to  score  free  leads  with  YouTube.  So,  you  need  lots  of  traffic  and  

views.

Keyword  research  is  great…but  it’s  the  little  bit  of  extra  work  

that’s  going  to  give  you  the  edge  over  your  competition….because  

optimization  is  key.

Optimize  Video  Metadata  -­‐  title,  description  and  tags.  Optimizing  your  metadata  helps  rank  your  

Video  both  on  YouTube  and  Google.

Video  Title  -­‐  descriptive,  short  and  to  the  point.  Include  your  keywords,  but  don’t  just  overdo  it.  The  title  carries  a  lot  of  weight,  so  make  it  natural  and  clean.

The  YouTube  keyword  suggestion  tool  is  a  great  way  to  find  good  ideas  for  your  

video  title…

Video  Description  -­‐  write  a  lengthy  description  of  what  the  video  content  is  all  about.  Include  a  relevant  URL  to  

your  website  at  the  beginning  of  your  description.  After  the  URL,  your  most  significant  keywords  within  the  first  couple  of  sentences.  Aim  for  at  least  

250  words.

Optimize  the  Tags  -­‐  Include  10-­‐20  tags  per  video,  using  relevant  

keywords.  And  pay  your  keyword  list  another  visit.

#5  BOOST  ENGAGEMENT  WITH  YOUTUBE  PLAYLISTS

Use  playlists  to  group  similar  videos  together  -­‐  making  your  channel  better  organized  and  

more  meaningful.

Create  keyword  focused  titles  for  your  playlists.  Provide  a  correct  description  for  the  playlist.  Make  

the  description  as  long  as  it  needs  to  be.

#6  BOOST  LEADS  WITH  YOUTUBE  ANNOTATIONS

Use  YouTube  annotations  to  add  strategic  Call-­‐To-­‐Action  links  to  your  videos.  Annotations  convert  viewers  into  leads  by  taking  them  to  your  

Landing  Page  where  they  can  opt-­‐in  to  email  list.

This  is  where  you  put  your  call  to  action  -­‐  ask  viewers  to  subscribe  to  your  channel  for  free  training,  join  a  list  to  get  a  free  

gift,  or  comment  on  your  videos  for  expert  courses  and  free  premium  resources!

At  7  Figure  Automation,  we  like  to  think  of  YouTube  annotations  as  clickable  display  advertisements…

You  can  use  them  to  generate  leads,  get  more  social  followers  

and  direct  people  to  your  website.

Tip  #1:  Show  annotations  only  in  the  first  10%  and  the  last  

10%  of  the  video!

Tip  #2:  Only  use  one  annotation  at  a  time.  Don’t  tell  people  to  

do  many  things  at  once!

#7  AVOID  THESE  3  YOUTUBE  ROOKIE  MISTAKES

Mistake  #1:  Don’t  bombard  viewers  with  all  of  your  content.  Make  a  point  to  only  showcase  the  best  parts  of  your  business  on  your  channel.

Mistake  #2:  Don’t  shuffle  consumer  content  with  corporate  content.  Use  playlists  to  make  

groups  of  related  videos.

Mistake  #3:  Don’t  order  your  videos  by  popularity.  Focus  on  pushing  the  kind  of  content  that’s  currently  most  relevant  to  your  business.  Relevance  is  

more  important  than  popularity.
