How to Distribute Your Masterpiece!
You’ve taken the time to create a video that is awesome and gives off the message that you want. Now, you have to find a way to get that video into the hands of people that want to see it. This is often one of those things that producers see as a waste of time because the magic is really in the video. However, because there are so many videos uploaded per second to the internet, taking the time to do keywords and a great description can help your video be found by your target audience. Also, make sure to use an informative and yet compelling title so someone wants to select YOUR video instead of the one next to it!
Upload:
Upload your video to whatever site(s) you want to push it to. The more sites you submit to, the better chance you have of your video being viewed.
Helpful Hint:
Using a service like OneLoad.com will help you distribute the videos much faster and more efficiently than manually uploading. All you have to do is setup the accounts initially for all the services/sites that you want to use and then put the info into OneLoad. Then, each time you upload a video, you can mass distribute the video instead of having to go to each site and enter all of your description and keyword information. Major time saver!

Embed:
Select the service you want to use when you embed the video onto your site. It makes sense that you would place your video on your website but make sure you give it all the exposure you can. Do you have multiple sites that you can embed the video on? Do you have multiple blog posts about this topic and the video would be relevant for them to be on those pages as well? Think about how you can maximize the exposure of the video on your sites and other places that your target audience is visiting.
Things to consider:
Do you like how their player looks?
Does it convert the video to play smoothly on your site?
Who owns the player? YouTube and others will rank higher because of the authority that has been given to them from the search engines.
Link:
You want to make sure that you link other sites and articles to your video. Remember, these links have to be to a relevant post/site or it won’t help you! A great strategy is to determine where you want to send people to and then use that as the ‘master’ and send all of the links to it. In addition to outside sites linking to your video/ post, you can also do internal linking from your site or videos.
These are just a few ways for you to begin distributing your video. Taking the necessary time for this step will pay off in the long run so keep with it!
