As an experiment, we've been using a link tracker to see how many times people click on the links to our video from Facebook and Twitter. We have 50k subscribers. Our Facebook page has about 4300 likes and we have about 4000 followers on Twitter. In the past week, the greatest number of times a link has been clicked is 165 times, for a video that has over 10k views, which means only 1.6% of the views came from plugging the video on Facebook and Twitter. So it does work (plus it only takes a few seconds), but it doesn't account for very many views.
thanks for the tip ,i have already tried facebook and twitterUse other networks to promote your youtube vids!
Keep trying!thanks for the tip ,i have already tried facebook and twitter
so your trying to say that, its better to upload a vid on facebook than youtube? i have done that, but it seems that people are more interssted in (personaly speaking) in my pictures than in my vidoe`s and its really seems hard to get notice on youtube!!! i wonder how people get like 4 to 20 k subscribers or views with just simple clips
very trueWe put links to our videos on Facebook and Twitter-we don't upload the video on Facebook. What I'm trying to say is that very few views come from the links that we post, so it's not that effective for us, but we do it anyway because 1.6% is better than 0%
