How to get your video seen more, TAGS!!

Lesson Intermediate Stage 1: Your First Setup November 2007

Contents of the video

Alright folks, Jonathan here. Now this video is all about getting your video seen. Now then, you have spent time making your video, you've spent time downloading it onto your hard drive, uploading it onto YouTube, but of course maybe you're only getting one, two, three hits. Right, now then, this is what you can do. You can do a couple of things. Yes, you can link it, as I've said before. You can post a video response to any of my videos, I don't mind, alright? You know, if it's a stupid video, then, you know, I mean, it's up to you if you want to do that. If it is absolutely stupid, then I'll just take it off. But if it's DJ related or anything like that, then that's fine. But how else can you get your video seen? Right, one word, tags. Tags is very important. Now then...

When you actually upload your video, you'll have the actual first heading which will be above your video. Then you'll have the information that you will have to the side of your video over there. Then what you'll have, you'll have another box which will say tags. Now here's an idea, let's say you're a DJ and you've just done a mix. Let's say it's house music. Then what you put is you put DJ, house music, turntables, so you're using Technics turntables. Put techniques, then put club, nightclub, clubbing. Think about it logically. Anything to do with DJing, put down as tags. Then what happens? Someone will come along and they'll think, wow, you know, I'd like to look at say clubbing videos. And they'll type in clubbing in the search bar. And then yes, your video will come up somewhere down the line because you have put that tag in, clubbing.

Turntablism. Maybe you like to cut, scratch and mix, so put turntable, turntablism, technics, mixer, cut, scratching, cubert, etc. Then your video will come along. It's all about tags. Don't just put one or two, put as many as you can until you can't put any more in. And remember, put a gap in between each particular tag, OK? I hope this has been a help, alright? Practice and enjoy!
