Camtasia helps you capture video (recorded from your computer screen) and audio (from the microphone) and is probably the best tool to use if you want to create screencasts or similar type videos. This software can also help you with the video production and editing, you can add different effects like annotations, transitions and callouts.

Camtasia has a lot of other features that I won’t bother explaining in this article, since I think that it is best to try the software yourself (they give you a 30 day trial)

If photoshop is the best picture editing software then Adobe Premiere takes the same position in the video editing category.

When I first started with video editing, I used Windows Movie Maker, then I started using Vegas Pro (which is also pretty good and a bit easier to use) but finally moved and settled with Adobe Premiere since it really allowed me to play around with more functions and do things that made our parkour videos AWESOME.

Adobe Premiere also has a 30 day free trial so I suggest that you download it and play around with the functions, maybe watch some tutorials on youtube and learn the basics of video editing.

There are other good tools out there, but I won’t spend much time on listing them here because these two will probably do everything you will ever need. If you are running on MacOS then you should also try Final Cut Pro as a substitute for Adobe Premiere or Screen Flow as a substitute for Camtasia.

I recently came across this video while browsing YouTube and I found this video very informative. It’s about how to create awesome videos. The video shows a few methods (both cheap and expensive ones) that you can use to create your videos.

For this method you will need a good camera optimized for YouTube. Gideon recommends the Kodak Zi8 camera since it’s much more affordable then most cameras and it has all the features you’ll need. I also use this camera to create my videos and I must say that it’s perfect for people that are new to making videos.

It is also important to buy a decent microphone because the internal microphones of most cameras usually suck.

This way of producing a video is the least expensive but can get frustrating, especially if you want to take care of all the details and make it perfect.

A good software for editing is the Sony Vegas Studio HD for Windows and ScreenFlow for Mac.

This method is very expensive and will cost you a lot of money but if you can afford this it will be worth the money spent.
If you run a big company this is the best method to go for.

To do this you will need to find someone local that can shoot the video for you and then do the editing while consulting you till you get the final product done.

To do this you can go to the local film school and put up some advertisements for a job offer. This way you can find someone that knows what he is doing and he can get the job done for you quickly and in fairly affordable rates.

The only problem with this method is that the video result may not be as good as hiring a professional.

What you do in this method is find a video editor from another country online and hire him to do the job for you. You can find people offering video editing and production at very low prices on sites like Fiverr and there are people you can hire that have a lot of ratings and many jobs well done.

The problem with this is that the file sizes of the videos are huge and it’s hard to send them to other countries. However you can upload them to a sharing server but that might kill your internet because you use a lot of bandwidth. It might also cause problems for the person that has to download those files and do the editing for you.

If not, you are probably missing out on a big opportunity. The youtube monetization methods I share in this article will try to help you understand how much you can actually earn from youtube and how damn  easy it is to do it.

So if you own a YouTube channel that gets a lot of exposure, I suggest that you continue reading this post because it will definitely change the way you see your YouTube videos.

5 YouTube Monetization Methods that YouTube celebrities and marketers use to make money on YouTube:

1. YouTube Partnership

This is the  most secure way to monetize YouTube videos because, obviously YouTube itself is also making money out of the ads they run on your quality videos. However to be eligible for the  youtube partnership program you need to have unique videos and a substantial audience. Read more about how to become a YouTube partner.

 

2. CPA Offers

CPA stands for Cost Per Action, basically you can earn from $0.5 – $50+ when someone clicks your referral link and completes and does the required action (subscribes, gets free trial, completes a servery or something similar)

If done correctly this is probably the most profitable way to monetize YouTube videos. This is pretty simple, you just need to find CPA offers related to the content in your videos, create your links and add them in the video description.

Some of the most popular CPA Networks (that will probably accept you) are:

Peer Fly | CPA lead | Max Bounty | NeverBlue.

3. Affiliate Offers

This one is similar to the CPA method but instead of registrations or surveys, the people you refer must purchase the product for you to get a commission.

Digital products like e-books, software and tutorials give the highest commissions, often up to 75% of the total product price.

For this I would recommend that you sign up on: clickbank.com and search for some related products.

However if this is not applicable to your niche, you could try to promote physical products trough the affiliate programs on amazon or eBay.

4. Selling music on iTunes

If you are a musician, this is absolutely the best way you to monetize your videos. Just look around YouTube and you will notice that most of the “YouTube celebrities” have a link to I tunes in the video description of their songs.

Working directly with apple is way harder than going trough pre approved music distributors.

Requirements:

• UPCs numbers for your songs
• ISRCs for all tracks you intend to distribute

So it is best to use one of these services to help you with this:

Musicadium | CD Baby | Nimbit | ReverbNation

5. Selling brand items (T-shirts, Coffee Mugs, etc…)

For some niches like comedy all of the methods mentioned above might be useless, especially if you can’t be a youtube partner because of country or content uniqueness restriction.

In this case, the only thing you can do is to sell branded items to your fans and this is something that you should bother to do only if you have a huge base of hardcore followers.

Ray William Johnson is a nice example for this type of monetization.

Warning: In case you decide to go with CPA or Affiliate monetization, make sure that your offers are not spammy, cause in this case, youtube might not approve you as a partner in the future and if you really go over the line you might even get banned.

You shouldn’t have any problems as long as you are promoting something that your visitors WANT to see (ADULT CONTENT EXCLUDED)

The Importance of Having The Right Keywords

Most internet gurus will agree keyword research is the most important thing you need to focus on when starting an online business. You can do everything else right, but if you fail here, you can end up wasting your time to create videos that don’t have an audience or videos that have too much competition, which means that the fruits from your efforts would be minimal or non existent.

However when you create a video for the right keyword the views and the results come naturally.

Video Shadow finds keyword opportunities for ranking videos in Google

Video is the next big thing. People prefer video over text and Google knows this. If you haven’t noticed Google started showing videos in the search results and you can often see a video from youtube ranking on the first position for some search terms. Actually, It seems as if Google tries to include at least one or a few videos in the search results. However often it cant find directly related videos for some pretty big and competitive keywords and doesn’t have anything to show, in this case Google would give a lot of ranking priority to the first video that is created for this keyword.

If you find one of these keywords and create that video yourself and do some basic optimization you should easily rank in the first page and get a lot of views with minimal effort.

I used the video shadow to find non competitive keywords with over 10.000 searches per month. And the only thing I need to do to claim these searches is to create a video, optimize the title, tags and description and get 10 to 15 good backlinks.

Just watch this video and see how I use the video shadow to find a good keyword opportunity:

A Few tips about the research:

• Pick keywords with more than 2 words
• Check the second page of Google manually, see if you actually have some competition
• Check the competition for the same keyword on youtube, see why those videos are not on the first page of Google. Make sure you check the back-link information for those keywords.

Video Shadow Can Analyze The Competition in YouTube

You can use this tool to find non competitive keywords in the youtube search engine. After your research you can create well optimized videos for these golden keywords or use them in the tags and descriptions of your already established but related videos.

You just type in your keyword and the tool will then pull all the details about the first 50 videos found in the search results, including : Video Titles, Views, Favorites, Comments, Tags and Descriptions, Upload Date and Channel name.

There are also additional tools that allow you to check the back-link data for the competing video, get more information about the uploader of the video and see the youtube video statistics.

note: The back-link data check is not currently working in this version but I think that Charlie will fix this in the next update. In the meantime you can use the SEO toolbar from seo book and get the back-link information yourself.

In this review I only talk about the most important functions but there are additional functions and things you can do with the video shadow,

Additional Functions:

• You can use it to spy on your competitors and steal their tags
• Measure the strength of the channels of your competitors
• Check and compare the video description of the top videos
• See all the titles and quickly learn what you need to do to stand out
• Check your video rank for certain keywords

Money Back Guarantee

The video shadow doesn’t have a trial, but it has a 60 day full money back guarantee that you can use as a test period. If you don’t like it or it doesn’t meet your expectations you can always return it and get your money back, however I don’t think that you will actually need to do this because it is really awesome.

Getting real subscribers and creating a following is vital for success on youtube. But how do you get more subscribers on youtube?

Well fortunately for you, I was just working on getting more subscribers on our parkour youtube channel, created a 30 day game plan and successfully doubled our youtube subscribers while learning some  interesting things that I want to share with you today.

1. Consistency

IF you are consistently producing new videos people notice that you are ACTIVE and that you are producing similar content on regular basis. So if they were impressed by your video, they will have a chance to see another good video soon.

It doesn’t matter how often do you post new videos, it is important that you stay consistent to a schedule and that you keep the same level of quality.

2. Call to action

Tell the people watching that more similar videos are consistently coming out and they should subscribe to get the latest one. You can achieve the desired effect with simple and discrete annotations in the end of your videos or if you want to be really fancy you can use a special animations to get their attention.

3. Quality

These two things above work great every time, on every video. However the degree of their effectiveness varies on the awesomeness and quality of the videos you produce. Hell, if your videos are really good, you don’t even need to remind people to subscribe to you, just make it clear that you are consistently putting out new videos. For example check Ray William Johnson‘s channel, which is now the most subscribed channel on youtube!

It is simple… better videos = more views / subscribers / favorites / likes

It might sound simple but the simple things always work best, try it and you will get more subscribers on youtube for sure.

This article is about how to rank your video in the first page in the youtube search engine results, or simply about youtube SEO. I will also talk about getting your videos ranked in google in another article as well, but that is a whole different game. I am astounded as how little information you can find about this on the internet… YouTube is the biggest video sharing – network on the internet and still there are no concrete guides for youtube SEO… Incredible!

I did some research, as you can see in this article right here (these are the analysis for the videos that rank in the top 3 positions for the term “get more youtube views”). I’ve also checked this for other keywords and the results are nearly identical… The interesting thing I want to note is that it seems that likes, subscribers and comments are not really important for ranking well on youtube, they have their significance but it is only minor compared to the other youtube seo factors I will talk about in this article.

So Here Are The Most Important YouTube SEO Factors:

.

1) Title (exact match)

This is hands down the most important ranking factor in the youtube search engine. Videos with optimized title, tags and description that have 500 views uploaded from crappy channels can compete with poorly optimized videos that have over 2 million views.

2) Views

The number of views your video has is the second most important thing for youtube seo. Think of your youtube views as your main ranking power source and think of the video title as the main power navigator. With enough views your video can rank for any keyword.

3) Tags and Description selection (keyword density + semantic keywords use)

Think of these as additional ranking navigators. But ranking for the keywords that are only in the tags and description will only get a small percentage of the whole ranking power of the video. From what I have seen so far I think that description and tags only direct less than 10 percent of the total video power.

Another interesting thing I noticed at one point of this research was that if the title of a video response matched the keyword… the video gets some ranking boost. (almost identical videos, the one with the video response that matched the keyword was ranking higher even though it was 50-60k views shorter)

4) Age (old and extremely new)

Really old videos are given a nice ranking boost, especially for board terms like: “golf”, “parkour”… etc. However, extremely new videos are usually given a huge initial boost the first few days after they are launched. That’s why you can sometimes see a video with like 1000 views that ranks higher than videos with 10 million views. But for this to work, the video also needs to have a good title and description optimization.

5) Join Date

Users that joined a while ago are given more trust than the newer ones. However, I think that this only applies to ranking terms with less competition.

.

So there you have it, the trick for good rank on youtube is good keyword selection (one that has less competition and a good amount of searches), video optimization for that keyword in the title, tags and description and then simply getting the views. If you continue pouring views in the video, it will eventually rank #1 for the targeted keyword. Then you can move on and create new videos for different keywords.

Another cool thing you can do, is to target some keywords that have literally no competition with your tags and video description, this will help you get more views so you can rank for your main keyword latter on.

In this tube fool review you will find everything there is about to know about this tool, how it works, why it is used, how can you use it, what can you get out of it, is it safe… etc. Also, if you have a specific question about this product just leave your comment below and I will give you a personal answer.

What Can Tube Fool Do For You? And How?

Tube fool will basically help you promote yourself on YouTube. This tool has the power to bring over 1000 subscribers per day and the best thing is that you can fine – target your audience and choose only the people that are active and interested in what you have to share with them.

After they are subscribed to you, tube fool can send them your video via the YouTube message function and from there the YouTube views will start rolling in.

These views come from absolutely real people, this means that they will leave comments, likes and buzz on your video, if you have a link with an offer in the video description they will eventually buy something. There are other tools like the playinator that only deliver “artificial” views, which help your videos by increasing their ranking in the YouTube search system.

Tube Fool Review : How does it work?

This is just like Tony Montana said : First you get the money, then you get the power and then you get the girls. Which in our case roughly translates to : first you get the subscribers, then you get the views and then you get the money.  :)

1. Targeting

Tube Fool can extract a list of targeted users by:

• Friends (extracts friends from a particular channel)
• Subscribers (extracts subscribers from a particular channel)
• Chanel comments (extracts users that commented on a particular channel)
• Keyword (channels that are related to your keyword)
• From URL (gets all users from an URL on YouTube)
• From the top rated videos (self explanatory)
• Get random users
• Extract Video URLS (for latter commenting on the same videos)

This process doesn’t take much time, only 2-3 minutes.

2. Working with the list of extracted users

After you have extracted your list of users, you can choose what you want to do with them.

You can now:

• send them friend requests
• subscribe to them (many of them will subscribe back, after this you remove the ones that didn’t subscribe)
• share your video with them (via the YouTube message function)

This feature is basically about extracting video URL’s and then posting comments on them, if you have multiple accounts you can use it to add comments on your own videos.

Tube Fool Review – Memory Consumption

The program doesn’t consume a lot of resources and when you put it in the background you will basically forget about it. However it consumes a good part of your internet speed so you might notice slower page loading and some lag when browsing the web.

Working on multiple accounts in the same time

There is a time that you need to wait before you send each message or friend request via one youtube account, we call this downtime. That is why tube fool can “only” get you 1000 subscribers per day, because it has to wait before each subscription. However if you can create more YouTube accounts, put them in tube fool, extract targeted user lists for each one and let tube fool work its magic. You should be getting about 600-1000 subscribers to each YouTube channel per day, thus getting the most out of this tool.

If just 10% of these people go and watch your videos after you send them a message you will get at least 10,000 views on each video you have.

How To Get Good Rank On YouTube,

and boost your EGO…

We all want to have our videos at the #1 position of YouTube because we know that it will bring us more youtube views, exposure, ratings, ego boost and success.

Before I go ahead with what I’ve discovered, I want to ask you a one question:

If you were in YouTube’s shoes how would you go about sepparating the junk from the videos that should truly rank?

(Just giving you a little time for you to think…)

Most people will tell you that the videos with most views should rank higher, which is true but not complete, since there are other factors that should be combined to determine your overall YouTube rank. Google uses more than 200 factors to determine who will rank on the first page of the search results for a particular keyword and since YouTube is owned by Google, I think they probably included some of thisese factors in the ranking algorithms of YouTube as well.

So, I’ve extracted a list of everything that COULD possibly have some impact on your YouTube rank and separated them in few categories:

1) On Video Factors:

• Views
• Likes
• Comments
• Favourites
• Date
• Video Responses
• Tags
• Title
• Description
• Speed Of Getting Views/Ratings/Comments

2) Background Factors (Channel Strength)

• Subscribers
• Friends
• Nummber of Videos
• Total amount of Video Views
• Channel Views
• Last Time Logged In
• Activity (Is the user part of the comunity?)
• Channel Information

3) Off Video Factors

• Links
• Embeds on websites

However these are only theoretical and in order to find out if they are practical in real life I’ve decided to take some time to analyse the top 3 videos ranking for the keyword “how to get more youtube views”. First I extracted all the required DATA and organised it in an excel spreadsheet,you can download it here:

How To Get More YouTube Views Spreadsheet

Then, I analysed the numbers and got some valuable information on the things that determine your YouTube rank. Scroll down to discover the results…

1) ON-Video Factor Analysis:

Title, Description and Tag optimization seem to direct the search terms from which the views will come to your video. The first video is clearly the best but as a result of poor tag selection it doesn’t rank in the first page for the equially important keyword : “increase youtube views” and as a result it doesn’t get views from there as well. A simple tweak here could easily increase the average views per day from 600 to 1000+

The third video has good is ranking on the third position for the keyword “increase youtube views” due to optimized Title, Description and proper tag usage.

On-Video Factors Score:

Video 1 -> 9.5 points (-0.5 point for Title/tag/description optimization)

Video 2 -> 4 points (better response from the audience)

Video 3 -> 5 points (more views + clever Title/tag/description selection)

Conclusion:

The results seem to match my expectations, all the factors we mentioned in the on page optimization are influencing the rank position for thiese videos. The amount of views seem to be a pretty important thing but the average nummber of “views per comment” and “views per like” seem to be almost equaly important.

Tag/Title/Description optimizations directly influence the search keywords you will rank for, so if you have a good score for the other factors you should try to target more competitive search phrases.

2) Background Analysis (Channel Strenght):

Video 1 comes from a channel that is in a whole different league compared to the competition. It has over 500.000 subscribers with 173 milion views in total. Auch…

Video 2 and video 3 have similar stats. The video ranking in the second position comes from an older member and has more subscribers. However the video in the third position has significantly more channel views and views on all videos in total.

Background Factors Score:

Video 1 –> 9 points

Video 2 –> 5 points

Video 3 –> 4 points

Conclusion:

The results are coresponding to the postions in the serch results. It makes sence for youtube to give better rank for videos that come from highly trusted people. If someone has delivered quality material in the past he will probabbly do it again in the future so youtube can feel free to give him “ranking benefits”. However new users would probably get negative or no ranking benefits for their videos.

3) OFF-Video Factors Analysis:

I expect these things to impact the ranks for the videos on Google more than on YouTube. After analyzing everything, it turns out that Video 2 is seriously and intentionally optimized for this keyword. It ranks in the on the 3^rd place for the keyword “how to get more youtube views” while video 1 gets the 7^th and video 3 is ranked on the 6^th place.

OFF Video Optimization Ranks:

Video 1 -> 4

Video 2 -> 7

Video 3 -> 0

Conclusion:

The second video probably got to this position by attaining good rank in google first, then it used the leverage of the good rank in google to get more YouTube views, comments and likes that increased its rank on YouTube. Video 2 and Video 3 have similar strength of for the first 2 factors, but video 2 is a clear winner in the OFF video optimization category, so this is probably the reason why it ranks better than the third vid.

Another interesting thing to note here is that video 3 is included in the first page for our keyword search on google even though it has zero OFF video optimization. Does this mean that ranking well in youtube can bring you a good rank in Google as well? Probably yes.

Overall rank: (max points – 30)

Video 1 : 9.5 + 9 + 4 = 22.5 points

Video 2 : 4 + 5 + 7 = 16 points

Video 3 : 5+4+0 = 9 points

Overall Conclusion:

YouTube views, ratings and comments are only a part of the factors that determine your rank on YouTube for a certain search phrase. The video title, description and tags are equaly important, because they determine the search keywords for which your video will rank. A good background and a good channel will make it easy to attain a good rank for every new video you create. And finnaly, good rank on google will probabbly get you a good rank on youtube and inverse.

This is only one case study, a small scale test if you will. So we can’t be sure that all of the factors mentioned here are actaully considered by YouTube and if they are, we don’t really know how much importance they are given.

What Should I Analyse next?

We will need more results to get clearer picture of this, thats why I decided to do another case study for a more competitive search phrase on YouTube. IF you have any suggestions or ideas about the next keyword I should analyse, leave a message in the comment section bellow.

Want to create better videos? Have you ever thought about the importance of the sound of your youtube videos?

Here are few quick tips that will help you improve your voice quality and thus get more youtube views.

1) Keep your throat lubricated

If it is dry you will have hard time speaking and your voice will sound bad. I did some extensive research on this one and it turned out that watter is the worst and pineapple juice is the best thing you can drink.

.
2) Support your voice from the diaphragm

Can you speak loudly without yelling? A lot of people start yelling when they try to raise their tone, this is a side effect from bad speaking and breathing habits.

If you learn to speak trough your diaphragm your voice quality will improve dramatically!

To make sure that you are doing it correctly, start by placing your hand on your stomach and breathe in. While you are doing this you should notice that your stomach is getting bigger, if it is, you are breathing in your diaphragm, now start humming and exhale slowly and steadily, while you are doing this you should notice that your stomach is shrinking.

.
3) Breathe in trough the nose

If breathing trough the mouth was good for us we wouldn’t have noses. There are mechanisms in the nose that moisten the air that we inhale to prevent the vocal cords from drying up.

Inhaling air trough the mouth will dry your throat which will lead to lowered voice performance and more stress on the vocal cords.

.
4) Remove background noise

Microphones will exaggerate any background noise that they pick up. So if possible, make sure you don’t have any people talking in other rooms,loud computer fans running or airplanes flying over

.
5) Talk slowly and articulate

Don’t mumble! You can even intentionally exaggerative your lip movements to make sure that your are being clear. Also take pauses to give the people listening some time to reflect and absorb the thing you said.

.
6) Buy a better microphone
Most people use cheap $2 microphones that come with headphones or webcams. These microphones SUCK big time. If you are serious about your YouTube carier you need to consider investing in a better microphone. I did a good research on this. Here are 3 good microphones that you might want to consider:

Audio Technica – AT2020 - $91.94

Similar quality to the Yeti microphone, a little smaller but doesn’t have that many functions.

 

.So, make sure you use these tips when you create the next videos and then compare the voice quality differences. And remember that having a higher quality video means that you will get more YouTube views.
