Lol I was about to cheer for Reddit, but some people made good points that it's not exactly a friendly place for promotion. Although receiving many more views, I received a dislike (I don't get too many votes on videos) on what I thought was a creative video, followed by some sarcastic comment and downvotes on Reddit, so I'd guess that people on Reddit can be harsh to self promotion as has been mentioned earlier here (even though my post fit nearly perfectly with that subreddit's theme). On the other hand I did get some upvotes on another video I posted which was in a subreddit where people post videos anyways, so maybe that helped. Regardless I'm enjoying Reddit itself though, so if you have some spare time it's a fun site if nothing else, and if you find a subreddit that seems like it would welcome a video then you can give it a shot
 
Hello,

I think the best way is the combination of them all that you do in a smart way.
Everytime I release a video, I always make sure it's 100% set up on YouTube and I've prepared my drafts to quickly publish on Twitter, FB, Wordpress, Insta, etc.
Everything is ready, when it's release day, I usually starts with Instagram and Wordpress for a few hours. The point is, people who are subscribed to me will likely see it first and it's some kind of reward for them to notice it first.
After a few hours, I start to publish on the Facebook Page and Twitter and I make sure to also publish the Instagram and Wordpress articles, which will differs from what I write directly even if it's for the same video.
That way you take care of things and don't feel too much like spamming with a couple hours to separate both post and you engage people to follow you on your others social media.
I then publish it on my personal FB account for family and friends who usually share it the most so the Video goes viral.
Last step is to wander around the internet on a couple of forums and website where I post regularly and throw the link with a special message unique on its own each time.

Then which one perform best, I believe it is facebook and forums you're engaged to. Probably because of the strong proximity you have with people.
It helps a lot to know the people you're showing your stuff too and statistic shows me they are always the first "boost" in the video's view during the first 3 days.

Cya!
 
Combination of all of social networks is a best way to promote yourself - I know that from my reallife job. Somettimes, small social network will bring you more traffic than biggest ones. One thing you should be aware - boted likes, tweets don't have any direct value - maybe just some indirect because people like to see posts with lots of likes.
 
Honestly, I just used Twitter because I didn't really feel like ever using Facebook and other social media but it's nice to see that I was wrong XD most of the people here seem to enjoy facebook and instagram...
 
i honestly think reddit is really good! i haven't had much luck with twitter but im still learning how to tweet. ha ha i also find Facebook to be amazing at times if you find the right places.

I think tha this is the secret! You have to find the places on each social media with the target grup tha has the same interests with your videos.
I am trying to use a mix of them but I am still in the beggining to have a clear opinion about that matter.
 
To be honest I don't use any social networks to promote my videos. I just happen to make videos that I guess are pretty discoverable and searchable though. Does anyone think I should actually start using social media though?
