Okay – the heading to this post is a bit sensational… but my Total Lunar Eclipse video (see below or go to youtube) has just cracked 1000 views in just under 24 hours!!
While this may not seem like much, it’s a pretty lame video and there’s only been a handful of views that have clicked out from this blog. How did they get there? I’m sure it’s not a featured video on youtube – it’s simply through people searching for it.
CCECYOUTH has 32 videos online – but only a total of about 5000 views.
If you want to get a high number of random hits (something we’re not necessarily aiming for with ccecyouth) simply work out what people will be searching for on a given day. There’s your video name and some tags… the rest is history.
But how many of those 1000+ are watching right til the end?
Yep…it’s all about the name and the tags. We put up a video for St Matts Youth recently that had the word ‘sex’ in both the title and the tags (didn’t even think about it at the time). Within 24 hours of being uploaded it became our second most viewed video. Crazy stuff.
