Why Should You Promote Your Video(s)?For those of you that use your videos that are hosted on Media Sharing Sites like YouTube.com as a medium or gateway to your website, promoting your videos will not only increase the amount of views your video receives, but inevitably increase the amount of traffic your website receives.Video promotion is a relatively new concept but a well needed one in today's world. With over 100+ million videos now online and growing fast, how is your video going to stand out from the crowd? People are going to find your video through video promotion at TubeJump.com! If your videos are monetized, as a lot of videos are now now-a-days, then promoting your videos should also increase your earnings. If you fall in neither of the above categories but you also like to post videos, promoting them will bring more people to view your video(s) and really, isn't that why you took the time to create a video and upload it to a media sharing site in the first place? Yes. We all want people to see our videos, otherwise we wouldn't bother to go through so much "trouble". Steps On How to Promote Your Videos1.) Leave comments on other people's blogs. Please make sure it's a blog that relates to the topic of your video. You'll want to leave a relevant, intelligent and engaging comment on the particular post as well as find a way to relate the post to your video.Once you've found a way to relate the two, you want to make sure to leave a link to your video, so that other visitors can click through to watch it. Do this for as many blogs as you can find that relate to the video. The more recent the post, the better it will be for having active traffic to follow your links. "DoFollow" blogs will also transfer some link juice to your video. This will, over time rank your video higher in the search engines which inturn should raise the views your video receives. This is a good thing. 2.) Use your pages on any social communities like MySpace or FaceBook for examples. Mention your video as often as you can and place a link to your video. Place your embed code where you can. Example would be the FaceBook Superwall application. If you're on MySpace then upload your video to MySpaceTV. Etcetra, etcetera. 3.) Don't stop at one or two media sharing sites. Upload your video to as many as you can (Have a look on the right side of TubeJump.com for a good list of media sharing sites). 4.) Stumble It! Don't have a StumbleUpon.com account? Why not? You can get a free account and the famous StumbleUpon Toolbar here: www.StumbleUpon.com. When you "Stumble It", make sure you also make a favorable review. 5.) Place the embed code or a link to your video on your own webpage or blog. Don't have a blog? You can get a blog at the sites listed below for free: Blogger.com - Google owns blogger. Once you have a few posts, make sure to sign up for the Google Adsense program so you can make a few bucks as well! WordPress.com - WordPress makes it easy to get your own blog up and running in a few minutes. LiveJournal - Offers more than just a blog, but it is free as well. Don't have your own webpage? You can get web hosting and a webpage for free at the sites listed below: Google Pages - You should be able to use the same login and password from creating your Google video account. GeoCities/Yahoo - You will need a free Yahoo account if you don't already have one. AngelFire - Lycos Angelfire will supply you with a free site, blog, photoalbum and more for free just like the rest above. By all means, this list isn't the end all or be all of free sites to receive a free webpage or blog but these are definitely six of the more popular ones. and finally... 6.)
