40,000 + Views . Whoop Whoop !

Just a quick post to share a milestone on my You Tube channel ... yesterday I hit 40,000 views !
Now I know that some people get more than that on just one video, but I like to celebrate any small win.
I don't really promote my videos that much but direct people to them when they are after an answer to something. But that, said a few videos have been ranked highly for long tail keywords and are getting views everyday. Plus I am getting traffic too ..Yeah!
So if you are thinking of using Youtube then I would say go for it.If used correctly then it can be a consistant flow of free traffic to your site.
Here's a few things that I am doing which may help you too.
Create a custom thumbnail, this can make your video stand out when in the search. You can create one using a site like Canva.
Use Jaaxy for searching your keywords and then double check on Youtube in their search bar and see what the competition is.
Use relevant tags and keywords in the description
Dont be worried about what people might say about you being on camera, just be yourself !
You can also use screen capture software like Camtastia or Screen flow (for MACS) but not needed to get started just use your mobile phone.
Feel free to head over and say hi on my channel the link is on my profile. I create videos about blogging, and marketing online.
I have a new video going up shortly so could do with some views ..only joking, maybe !
