Useful Internet Marketing Tools On The Cheap: YouTube Insight
If you're like me you've devoted a fair amount of time and effort to shooting, editing and posting videos on the Internet as part of your online marketing campaigns. And if you're doing that, you're probably posting them to YouTube. It is, after all, the 2-ton guerrilla in the room. If you're looking to make money online and playing in the video arena, YouTube must be one of your parking places. But are you getting all you can out of those postings? Do you know which of your videos are being viewed the most? Who's watching them? Are people commenting on your videos?
Enter Insight
There's a built in tool on YouTube called "Insight" that provides answers for entrepreneurs to these questions and many more. You'll find it by going to your YouTube Account Overview page. On the right hand side, just above "Edit Channel" is "Insight." Selecting Insight takes you to a summary page for all of your videos where you can see how many times your videos have been viewed, check out the demographics of your audience, see where your videos are most popular, and see a list of your most viewed videos. You can even drill down on each of these categories to see more detail.
Find Out More
Want to get more specific? Click on the "All Videos" link and a list of all your videos pops up. You can then select individual videos and see all of the categories broken down for that specific title. You can also see the source of the views. Were they from an embedded player? Viral sources? External links?
Are you holding the attention of your audience? Hot Spots will tell you. It provides an audience attention score at each moment of your video and compares it to other videos of similar length. The higher the graph, the hotter your video.
Master the Data; Own the Market
You may find out some surprising things by using this tool. For instance, the last time I checked almost 100% of my viewers were men. (I'm trying to take that as a compliment, but I need all the women out there to step up and help me out!)
The important thing isn't so much what the data tells you as how you interpret the information and what you do with it. Master the data; own the market. Insight can help you do both.
