Best Practices
Fill in Metadata
Add detailed descriptions your Youtube videos to make them more easily searchable by your audience. Be sure to include keywords.
Catchy Thumbnails
Thumbnails are a visual representation of your video that most often determines whether someone clicks on your video or not. Be sure that it is visually appealing, and makes the viewer want to see more.
Annotations
Annotations are links that you can add into your videos through the video management tool. Add annotations to your videos to drive clicks back to your site. Just be sure they are not overwhelming or annoying.
Consistency
Add standard opening and closing sequences to your videos, as a means of branding. Keep video lengths consistent, preferably under 3 mins. Retention rate studies show click through rates begin to drop after 2 1/2 mins.
Email
According to Quicksprout.com, when Youtube videos are embedded in emails, the call to action rate is nearly 90% higher. Include videos in your newsletters.
