Hi Peeps,
So how do you manufacture your own buzz with YouTube the “traditional” way…? Is there a way to Jumpstart your way to the top…?
Well, you make whacky videos that “have to do with nothing” or “have nothing to do with anything”… kind’a like Seinfeld was a show about nothing… ; P
Okay, many of these viral vids are on some topic that’s cool, celebrity oriented like making spoofs of their videos if they’re musicians or putting a spin on topics, etc. Lots of times there are gimmicks involved… let’s say like a certain linguist on YouTube who wears revealing clothes(can I call them clothes…? More like lingerie…).
So you can use your sexiness to create buzz.
Or make a series of videos where you sing covers to popular songs. I been there and seen Esmee Denters do this.
I’ve been there almost from the beginning with Venetian Princess. I knew who she really was before almost EVERYbody else on YouTube.
I was there watching lonelygirl15(I have pics of her, the actress Jessica Rose, up on Flickr…)… it was pure genius. Maybe you recall the ensuing craziness when people found out it was “fake”. The raging debate about how “she’s real!” and “she’s a fake!” and the nasty comments…
All these videos have gone massively viral. A lot of it due to the viral nature of YouTube itself, with the ability to embed the vids all over the Internet and the fact that millions do hit the site everyday… plus it does help to have your vid Featured on YouTube(goes without saying…).
But is there a way to get your video(s) in front of eyeballs fast without having to wait and see if people might check out your channel or individual vids. Plus, it’s a really fast way to see if people will even check out your vid(s)… and then you can tweek your profile & see if that helps you go viral…
Now you can get your YouTube videos Sponsored right on the site! So now you can create your own buzz without having to wait and let the buzz happen “naturally” or the “traditional” way… basically you’ll be able to manufacture & create your own buzz via YouTube PPC Ads!
[note]: YouTube Sponsored Search & YouTube PPC are the same thing in case you were wondering…
Will there be a backlash against this “non-traditional” user-generated buzz…? Or should I call it owner-generated buzz…?
The majority of YouTubers seem to think that everything should be free and might hate that you’re “using/trading money to get YouTube views”.
It’s pretty awesome to be able to tag keywords and have peeps go to your channel or individual videos.
The question you’ll want to ask yourself is: Do You Want People Watching Your Video?
And quoting from YouTube…
Do you think your video can be the next big thing? Are you frustrated that people can’t find your video on YouTube?
It will be fun to see the results people are seeing from using the sponsored search… wonder how this will impact Google Search Results…? Since many results on Google are showing at least one video on the first page, does this portend that more videos will show up on Google…? Maybe even in the Sponsored listing…? At this time I highly doubt it since Adwords Advertisers are most likely spending WAY more on their keyword listings than it costs to use YouTube’s PPC Service…
And will Featured Videos be based somewhat on the amount of money you put into YouTube Sponsored Videos…? The more you spend advertising with YouTube the better the chance you will be a Featured Video? Now that would be worth the price of admission…! ; P
Now if you are using Google Adwords already… make those videos and take advantage of “YouTube Adwords” <==because that's pretty much what this is... am I the first one to call it YouTube Adwords...? They will obviously integrate this into Adwords somehow... but more importantly...
You've heard of First Mover's Advantage? Then what are you waiting for? Get stared creating your manufactured buzz using YouTube's Sponsored Video Promotions Now!
Now you will want to have the same "qualities" that past YouTube videos have had... like using the cute girl, doing parodies, etc. People love to be entertained, don't make some boring corporate video... think "edutainment" if you're a business using video(especially on YouTube).
And wouldn't YouTube PPC be an excellent way to tag covers to those popular songs? So people will see your videos singing their fave songs. You could very well be on your way to YouTube(& beyond) super stardom!
So don't forget to have some end goal(s) in mind while you create & manufacture your buzz!
One of the questions YouTubers might have...
Is the buzz for real? Or was it manufactured...?
Does it really matter?
God Bless,
Yoon
P.S. Once you Jumpstart Your Buzz on YouTube & your videos start gaining traction, getting popular and buzz-worthy… you can *stop your YouTube Sponsored Search spending & the viral buzz will continue unabated(won’t stop)… once your vids are on fire who can stop it right…? ; P
*you may want to keep doing some YouTube PPC since it’s already helped you to get to where you want to be…
