Charlie Sheen is not the only person capable of making waves on the internet and creating \u201cbuzz\u201d. Aside from his \u201cwinning<\/em>\u201d personality, there are other concepts that can go viral and help to build your brand on the internet. \u00a0YouTube<\/strong> is one of the top websites on the internet with millions of users worldwide. It\u2019s a goldmine waiting to happen.<\/p>\n

\"YouTube<\/a>Before you start uploading your videos to YouTube, you should be aware of some information. Though YouTube has amazing potential, if you don\u2019t utilize it correctly, you will spend hours of wasted time. Just because millions of users visit YouTube on a daily basis does not mean they will come running to your video.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make it Impactful<\/strong><\/p>\n

You have the first five seconds of a video to capture the viewer\u2019s attention. If you start the video with a picture of you and your dog at the park, it may not create the buzz you want (unless of course you are creating the video for dog owners who bring their dogs to the park\u2026 but that\u2019s still questionable).<\/p>\n

Add a creative element; something out of the box. Catch your viewers off guard and compel them to continue watching.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Keep them targeted<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep the video targeted to your specific market. Your reason for creating the video is to eventually gain more sales. If you get a lot of attention for your video, but the attention has nothing to do with the products and services you sell, you will be left with a lot of attention\u2026and that\u2019s it. Combine creativity with the desires of the people whom you target in your industry.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 More is not necessarily better<\/strong><\/p>\n

You know how you start watching an interview with Charlie Sheen and it seemed interesting in the beginning but after a while it just gets old? Your videos follow the same line of thinking. Even if you captivate your viewers in the first 5 seconds, it does not mean you will keep them for the duration. The ideal video length is about 2 minutes. Too short, you will lose them\u2026too long, you will lose them again. Make sure to get it just right.<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Optimize your Videos<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add keyword rich titles and tags and include a call to action in the description. Don\u2019t make the calls to action sales pitches, but tell people what you want them to do next. People need instruction, so make sure to give it to them. \u00a0You can further optimize your videos by creating a link building campaign around the same keywords in your title and tags to spread the word. If the videos are creative enough, this \u201cbuzz\u201d will happen naturally.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be Charlie Sheen to get attention online. You just need to think outside of the box and put your creative hat on. Stay targeted and optimize properly. Creating a \u201cwinning\u201d video is not as hard as you may think.<\/p>\n
