Youtube today is now the second popular search engine after Google. Youtube is the product of Google, but its uniqueness made it very popular among all the ages and nations.
First of all, it is free, its Google product and most importantly it is a visual product of Google, It has to become popular with tons of music tracks readily available to people.
With its increasing popularity, monetization of youtube was inevitable, and today thousands of YouTubers have earned a great amount of money.
Why YouTube Marketing is necessary?
The popularity of Youtube is indisputable but let’s have a look at its stats:
- 1.9 billion people use Youtube.
- Every minute 400 hours of youtube videos are uploaded.
- In a single day, 5 billion videos are getting watched.
- The age group of viewers is 18-49 years.
- Most importantly, slowly tv will be replaced by Youtube,
- 70% of youtube views come from mobile views.
The youngest youtube is Ryan, and he reviews Ryan Toys Review and he earned $11,000,000 in 2017.
All the stats are nothing less than astonishing. so it is obvious that Youtube is going to be the next big thing in the search engines.
Slowly it will overpass Google also, it does not mean that people will not read blogs, or blogs will cease to exist but people always prefer to look, to watch rather than to read.
So it is the most important thing to market your Youtube channel.
Why it is important to market youtube channel?
One might think that Youtube has a steep competition, so why there is a need to start or market your existing youtube channel.
“Society is shifting from reading to viewing content” Jay.
As in blogging, though there is a tough competition in almost every niche, do we stop to blog or people will not blog just because of tough competition?
No, even if there is a tough competition in blogging, you will find that many new sites with good quality content are ranking in the SERP.
The matrix for ranking in Google is not set, and changes now and then, and Google always favored quality content over quantity.
Google and all major search engines know that it’s only when they give quality content and user experience to the people, they will be in demand.
So you will find that Google has terminated the old algorithm and favoring only good quality content with the great user experience.
Same is the situation with youtube, there may be thousands of videos, but if you are providing good quality content, there is no reason why your youtube video will not be ranked.
As of Google, Keyword research is a great factor in ranking youtube video also. Youtube has its own keyword research tool, Yes the Youtube search bar can give you a fairly good idea about what people are searching and what content you need to create.
There are some tools like TubeBuddy, VidIQ, Keywordtool.io, and Ahrefs are helpful for finding keywords on Youtube,
