The Share Trend


Sharing is an amazing way to rally more viewers. All it requires is you to ask
your viewers to share your videos if they liked it with their friends and
family. It is a given that most of them won’t. But once a few people start
sharing and your videos get around, it’s only a matter of time before it is
trending.


The idea behind sharing is to get you introduced to people who do not know
about your videos yet. They view your videos and, in turn, share them, which
leads to a hopefully never-ending cycle. Shares are the best way to get your
videos around. What this means is your videos gain more traffic.


A requirement to this is a lenient privacy setting on your social media pages
like Facebook and Twitter. You want your videos to be watched by people
other than your friends. Make sure your videos are visible to the public at

want. Keeping your settings secured eventually will lead to a loss in your
subscriber count as your videos will not be going around the social media
platform as much as you would like them to. For this reason, it is optimal to
create a different account or a page in the social media platform dedicated
only to your videos. You can link back to your personal profile which you
will be keeping secure and tell your viewers to personally give you requests
and feedback 0r so there. This helps with security as well as getting you the
maximum shares possible.

videos and promote them with all your resources, and they will not generate
the expected traffic if you do not take some time to respond to your viewers.
This is the most important part of using social media to promote videos.
Always remember to ask people to like, subscribe, and comment. This will
give you a general feedback. Ignore the mean posts if they do not have any
constructive criticism. A good idea would be to upload a “Q & A” video
where you answer some of the questions asked in your previously uploaded
videos. This serves a dual role of making your viewers feel appreciated and
increasing your income.
