YouTube Marketing Goals
Establishing marketing goals is critical to the success of your YouTube marketing. Countless entrepreneurs and businesses have set up a YouTube presence, made a few posts, and then let it sit untouched for months or even years. This is usually due to a lack or absence of goals. So, before you even begin establishing any sort of YouTube presence or strategy, you need to establish clear marketing goals.
Your goals should be specific, measurable, and attainable. They can be long term, short term, or a mix of both. Deadlines and milestones can be helpful as well. 'I want to increase my social following' would be an example of a bad goal that will likely result in your marketing efforts petering out after a while because there are no specific milestones. 'I want to gain 1,000 likes by Christmas' is an example of a good goal. It's specific, measurable, and certainly attainable. - Getting Started On YouTube
It is tempting to simply copy and paste the About section of your website on YouTube and your other online platforms, sales sites, and social media channels. However, it is important to write unique descriptions for each of your online descriptions. This minimizes the amount of duplicate online content, but it also ensures you take the time to write a unique description relevant to the purpose of each online profile. For example, your YouTube description should touch on the value you plan to add with your Channel. - Content & Optimization Strategy
Before you begin creating your video content, you want to develop a video content strategy. Avoid the common temptation to just post about your products and services, and consider how you can create relevant video playlists which will meet a wide range of your target audience's needs. Yes, this can include sales, but it's time to think outside the box. Posting just a handful of relevant and high-quality videos is always better than posting a high volume of useless videos. Use any combination of the ideas below as inspiration as content your customers will engage with.
