3.      Building links

In the same way as written content, video content can also benefit from cross linking and from creating internal and external links for all your videos. You can use cross linking, to guide visitors to see other videos on your website, after watching one of your videos. You can also link your videos to other content that is relevant to the subject and it may interest the user. Other methods of making your videos popular is by posting a link towards them on social media networks such as Twitter. This will make it much easier for users to visit your website, and, eventually spend more time on your web pages. Allow visitors to bookmark the video in case they want to re-watch it later. Good keyword optimization will help you when posting your videos on social media networks, as well, as it will make them easy to find.

5.      Optimize your videos

If one video is too long, do not hesitate to break it in smaller parts, and you will be able to generate more traffic this way. Also, by embedding your videos in written posts, you will add more value to your pages.
