How Do You Get People To Find Your Youtube Channel?

[willph]

Crashing or almost crashing. PPL wanna see shit go down! LOL

My almost crash video has the most views compared to any of my other motovlogs.

Crash vids sadly are the way to go if you want views. They even top cop chases and wheelies

 

[willph]

I cant afford to crash. LOL

 

[Marbro_za]

My biggish one, I sold the rights to jukin media (they contacted me) and about 4 months later i got around $600 from them
I wouldnt use them again , ever

 

[Lurch]

I wouldnt use them again , ever

Any particular reason?

 

[Marbro_za]

Really shitty communication,
I dont feel they did enough to promote the video,
Never saw funds for the youtube or facebook views.

 

[SighBored]

Never give up your right to your content, at least not for at least 4 digits? LoL.

To put it this way, either take a one time pay-day and be on your merry way, or leave it on the Interwebs and continue to generate monies till Internet.exe stops functioning.

 

[Marbro_za]

well i got a few subs, and 100k people saw my vid..

so not all bad i think

 

[SwissMotard]

Yeah we're not all as big as SighBored, so giving up some rights can be beneficial to the smaller guys just starting off.

 

[Marbro_za]

no need to call him fat man.

jeez

Honesty is the best policy

Crashing, almost crashing or getting one of the well known vloggers to give you a shout out / subscriber spotlight. You can still increase you're subs the old fashioned way of releasing videos but there's soo many vloggers now that you really have to make something that stands out from the rest.

My almost crash video has the most views by a landslide compared to my other motovlog videos.

PPL like to see ducati's crash or almost crash it seems.

 

[SighBored]

I don't think fatness ( ) matters, because like I mention, the video will always be there to view, and continue to gain views, either slowly, or sudden view spike, etc.

Surrendering your rights of it to some other party might gain you some benefits for short term, but for the long term I think it would be in your favor to keep your rights to it, part of your portfolio in a way, one of your top videos.

Unless if you think you're done with motovlogging/posting videos then considering to sell off your videos is alright.

Just my thoughts.

 

[SwissMotard]

I still strongly believe it's not as simple as "never do it".

 

[Marbro_za]

my oldest vids have gotten no where near the traction that the promoted one did.
I dont think i made a mistake, completely

 

[Exile]

I don't! It's somewhere out there in the wilderness that is YouTube and occassionally a weary traveller seems to stumble across it.

On a less jokey note, my biggest number of views have been on the video where I rambled on about my bike for a while, showing off its mods and such, so I guess people like to know what others are riding and how they like it. An added bonus is talking about your latest purchase can be a lot cheaper than crashing.

In general videos with the bike model in the title and something like "review", "walkaround", "mods" etc get a disproportionate amount of views, because that's what people search for when researching or ogling a bike. Typical motovlog titles don't generate a lot of traffic unless it has "supermoto" or "wheelies" or something in it. So if you have a desirable bike, e.g. S1000RR, 1290 Superduke R etc, you have a lot to gain from posting a owner's review

 

[Marbro_za]

But in saying that, Dont go label all your videos S1000rr or KTM Duke 990 etc, unless its about that bike

Yep. That will just piss off your subscribers, like all caps clickbait titles
