Facebook, as an example, is the perfect place to paste these URLs on your
own timeline or on a Facebook page that you have created to promote your
channel. This way, only people who are interested can view your videos.
Unnecessarily posting URLs and videos on another user’s page or private
chats could take a turn for the worse as it builds a bad reputation. Facebook
has the additional option of paid marketing. You pay a nominal price, and
your videos will be displayed at the top of the user’s homepage. This means
more traffic as your videos have more chance of being watched if they are
placed first. Despite nominal prices, you might not want to use this option
initially until you have enough subscribers and a steady view count. Using
YouTube for profit requires zero initial investment, and hence, you should be
able to pay for the marketing from your profits and not your pockets.
Despite this, many viewers stop watching your videos after clicking on your
link. To overcome this, link the URL of a playlist of your videos that are
related in some way or the other instead of a single video. This helps the
viewers get interested and stay interested.
