The first thing you'll have to do when uploading is to fill out the Title, description, tags, and

category of your video.

Title - Think of the title as your headline.

Be creative and try to get the readers attention. Be sure to also use the popular keywords that

relate to your video.

If you are uploading a video for your golf site, and the video is about "putting", make sure your

headline lets people know that. Use a title like "Precision Putting Made Easy" or "How to

Make 15 Foot Putts With Your Eyes Closed".

Treat your title as if it's the headline for an ad you are running.

Description - The description box is very important. This space will allow you to give your

viewers more information about your video.

It will also allow you to give your viewers more information about you and your website. You

should try to use the description box to drive viewers to your website where you can make

them an offer or try to collect information/email from them.

The first line of of your description should be the URL of the website you want viewers to visit.

It should also ALWAYS be in http://www.yourdomainhere.com form. This is

extremely important.

If you put it in this form it will show up as a clickable link in the description box

on YouTube.

If you simply put www.yourdomainhere.com, it will NOT be a clickable link.

You want that link to be clickable because it will make it easier for your viewers to get to your

website. They don't have to type in the URL or copy and paste it into their browser. Just

click. Makes things easy.

The next part of your description should be a short description of your video.

So, to again use the golf and "putting" example, your next paragraph in the description box

would be something like - "This video will show you how take your putting to the next level,

and help you shave those 'hidden' strokes off your score!"

The next part of your description should make an offer to the customer in an effort to lead

them to your website or squeeze page.

In our example, the next part would say something like this, "For more information on how to

improve you golf game in only 12 minutes a day, visit http://www.madeupgolfsite.com".

Again, make sure it's in that format so the link is clickable.

Or maybe you're offering a special report...then you would say something like, "Get your

FREE copy of "7 Steps to Putting Like A Pro" right now at http://www.madeupgolfsite.com."

Use the description box to promote your site. And make those links clickable. This is

important not only because it makes it easier for viewers to get to your site, but also because

these description boxes are indexed by search engines like Google. This is a FREE one way

link from YouTube to your site. Definitely a good thing.

Tags - The tags are basically the "keywords" of your video. These tags will play an important

role in helping YouTube identify your video. It will help determine what search terms your

video shows up under.

It's important to include all the possible tags that relate to your video.

In our golf example, our tags would be - "golf putting lower your score". I would also add tags

like "Tiger Woods USGA The Masters Phil Mickelson Ernie Els birdie par bogey hole-in-one".

These tags aren't directly related to our video but they are golf related terms that might be

searched for on YouTube. Especially the names of the golfers like "Tiger Woods".

Someone searching for "Tiger Woods" may also be interested in your video, by including that

keyword in the tags you increase your chances of showing up in search results for that term.

You also increase your chances of showing up at the end of a video when YouTube

recommends more related videos to the viewer.

Category - Some sites allow you to pick more than one category for your video. YouTube

does not. YouTube has 12 categories pick the one that best fits your video.

The categories are :

Arts & Animation

Autos & Vehicles

Comedy

Entertainment

Music

News & Blogs

People

Pets & Animals

Science & Technology

Sports

Travel & Places

Video Game

he next step of uploading your video is to "browse" for it on your computer. Once you find

the video the only thing left to do is choose whether you want the video Public or Private.

If you're using the videos for marketing, you want Public, which is the default, so you don't

have to do anything except click the "Upload Video" button.
