If you are wise, you can generate a massive viral campaign (personal or business motive) with Youtube. We are fully aware that there are plenty of video hosting sites such as metacafe, blip.tv, google videos etc. Find below a list of 9 tips to develop a video campaign with any video sharing site.

Beginner’s Guide to become popular with Youtube, Metacafe and Google videos:

1.Honey, I love good content: You love videos and favourite it when it has good content. Be it funny, sexy or entertaining , choose your content wisely. Look for the current news, and build your idea from it. Check for latest or upcoming movies – fans would love to sneak what you say about them. Do not pitch your sales until the last scene – make it an entertaining video – if not users will avoid your video like a plague.

2. Shoot them short: The attention span of general web audience is very short. You have just few seconds, to grab the attention – do not waste in presenting credits at the beginning of the movie. You can create a one minute video series.

3. Last scene is the most important: We see how the commercials work, right? Your call for the reader’s action at the last frame (few seconds) – web address (blog) to visit or asking them to bookmark you on youtube or whatever. Never finish a video without telling the viewers, what to do next?

4. Catchy title: Think a minute or two for getting the title right. A title saying “how to get a girl’s attention in 1 minute” works better than a lame title “dating tips”. This is the most important element after the video content.

5. Announce through emails: Your friends are your marketers and advertisers. They will always rave about you and your video (if it is even half-good!). So, just forward an email whenever you post a new video. Include a title and short summary of the video.

Add your youtube profile page in the Email signature.

6. Publish on social network sites: Now, Orkut, MySpace and every social websites offer ways to promote your videos. Put your best videos forward. Always include the one-line story of your video.

7. Choose your tags wisely: Tags are the baits that attract viewers. Watch similar youtube and learn how they have used the tags and expand on your tags.

8. Engage with your viewers: Follow your readers, reply to each comments. Ask questions and develop a conversation. Youtube lets you post a video response, how good.

9. Watermark: You developed this video, right – so by all means include a watermark that do not interrupt the viewing pleasure.

Also, a bonus tip – watch top videos – just the top 10 videos . Use metatube, you can browse 100 video sharing sites at once and discover what works with each video sharing site.

Good luck, become a celebrity with Youtube!
