Who doesn't know about the world's most popular video hosting Youtube? This is the largest video hosting platform, where you can find recordings of everything from news releases to videos with experiments from some scientists. The experience that publications on YouTube convey to their viewers is simply impossible to fully appreciate - these are billions of hours that give people knowledge, entertainment, enjoyment and much more. Surprisingly, they managed to collect all this in one place and, moreover, made it free and available to everyone with an Internet connection.
Youtube Features
The YouTube service immediately after its launch, according to many media reports, was unprofitable both for the creators and for the future owners (Google). Despite the popularity of the project, its usefulness and the interest that visitors show to it, Youtube required too much investment both in expanding the capabilities of servers for storing information and quickly playing millions of videos, and in processing data and showing it to the userdesired content. Such a task, for example, is performed by the "selection of tags for YouTube" function, which is carried out automatically and with the participation of the author of the video, allowing him to independently set tags, descriptions, names for each video. This can be done in the manager (analogue of a personal account), which allows edit your entries.
What are YouTube tags? These are, roughly speaking, the keywords by which your entry can be found in the search not only on the service itself, but also in the search results of various systems (Yandex, Google and others). Often, tags can be used to manipulate video views. So, by setting popular tags for YouTube, such as the words “incredible”, “shock”, “watch everyone”, “cool”, “spectacular” and others, users can increase the number of views of their videos several times. And all because these are the keywords that visitors are looking for most often.
About how videos are selected
You know what tags are on YouTube and what role they play. Now it is worth mentioning how the service selects a video that is worth watching for the user. So, everything is extremely simple here - if you watch posts with certain tags several times in a row (for example, you are looking for videos on the topic “boxing”), Youtube analyzes your queries and then displays videos with similar tags (“boxing”, “fight”, "boxers" and everything close to this topic). Thus, in the list of videos that you are recommended to watch, you will see exactly such relevantrecords.
How to upload a video and make it famous?
When uploading your video to video hosting, remember what tags are. YouTube has a clear keyword ranking system. If you specify tags that do not apply to your video, most likely no one will view it, because users will mark it as disliked, not related to the topic. Of course, you can not fill in the keywords for the video, then they will be selected automatically by the system, based on the title of your video. However, it is difficult to say how much such a selection can increase the number of views. It’s one thing if you use provocative question tags for YouTube (for example, “where to go in Moscow?”), and another thing when the system independently assigns you the tag “Moscow”, “rest”. Obviously, the first option will be the most popular among viewers.
Financial prospects for authors
Why chase views, who needs them? It's very simple: each video creator can earn money by showing partners' ads along with their video. If you have a small number of viewers, of course, you will not be able to earn much. At the same time, by promoting your account purposefully, as you add high-quality videos, you can build up a base of regular viewers that would generate a steady income for you. And this is, you see, quite interesting.
There are many examples of successful creators of educational videos, clips, entertainment videos andother content that gained millions of views and made its creators rich and famous. This proves that Youtube is able to bring not only benefit to the viewers, but also fame and success to the creators, and this is also important. The main thing is to have an idea and, of course, to know what YouTube tags are, how to compose them and how to make your video viewed by as many people as possible.
