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.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
