SEO is important, but social sharing “really skyrockets your video to portugal mobile phone number list the top of the charts,” says Jeremy Vest around 2:50. Likes, comments, subscribers, shares: these social actions will help your video rank higher in search results.
6. Post your video online at the right time
The day and time you upload your video is also very important, says David Harms. Once you know when your audience is online, make sure your video is online around that time. David explains how you can otherwise miss out on a lot of views around 3:18.
7. Create playlists with other videos
Not only is it smart to create YouTube playlists, but it's also smart to put videos from other content creators in those playlists. Why would you put videos from your competitors or colleagues in your playlist? Jeremy Vest explains around 3:50.
8. Create custom thumbnails
One of the best ways to get more views is to differentiate yourself with custom thumbnails, says Jeremy Vest. He explains how to do it professionally for businesses and the results he’s seen with it himself, around the 4:35 mark.
9. Create a Video XML Sitemap
An SEO tip: make sure you have a video XML sitemap on your website, so Google knows where your videos are and people watch the video on your website instead of on the video provider's website (like YouTube or Vimeo). This is quite easy to do these days with a WordPress plugin for example. Jeremy Vest talks about it around 5:25.

Use the social media you already have to share your video. If your video is good, people will share it (which brings us back to step 1!). “If you are embarrassed by your videos, you should stop doing them immediately,” says David Harms around 5:55.
