Tips on How To Create Your Own Viral Video and Make Money

Update available on http://make-money-online-from-video.blogspot.com/

You can create the best & most entertaining video in the land, upload it on to Youtube and find that it is not getting anywhere. You can also easily create one of the worst videos in history and find it goes viral-:



70k hits + in 4 days.

What is the Secret? How do you make your video go viral and monetize it? Let's start by looking at an example of a video that has gone viral and why.



3.5m hits + in 1 month.
Fenton (Or Benton!) the dog is a hilarious video with red deer being scattered over Richmond Park in London by an angry owner's unstoppable hound! The combination of cause and effect coupled with the owner's inability to stop the dog and his shouting makes this video a "must see."
Numerous sites uploaded the video to their own, everybody wanted to share it and the seeds were sown. So much so, that "Have I Got News For You" picked-up on this, Paul Merton rubbished it and thus further "talk" ensued, more viewings and thus became viral almost immediately.

Both above examples are from complete video novices to youtube - And both were lucky to be picked up by various Internet Media for the expolsion to take place.

The good news is that you can sow the seeds yourself. All you need is to be a member of a few social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter!

As soon as you upload your video, share it with everyone you know. Details of how to upload your video on to this Website below.

Depending on the variety of video you have uploaded, seek out as many Websites as you have time for that will accept your relevant youtube uploaded video - Upload the video on to these sites as quickly as you are able.

Examples of these sites-:

Buzzfeed
Boingboing
The Blaze
Crazy Days and Nights

If possible, create lots of videos. The more videos you create, the greater the chance of one of them going viral.

People like to share anything that is funny. These videos have the most chance of self-seeding. Funny videos with a surprise/shocking ending are memorable and work well.

People love visually compelling content and one way to create it is to experiment with filmmaking techniques to try and show people something they haven't seen before.

Timing-: Friday lunchtime is disputedly the best time to start uploading videos.

Posts-: The more controversial posts are on your video upload, the better. This is a surefire way for people to become actively engaged and start "conversations" in the comment section.

Monetizing-: Once you have accumulated around 50,000 hits, youtube will email you to invite you to monetize your videos. You are able to apply beforehand, but unless you have enough history, videos and hits, you are unlikely to be accepted. To save time, set up a Google Ad Sense account now - It's free and means you will be able to link your youtube account directly to this without spending more time doing this later.

This post is by no means finished as yet - Please bookmark it and we will complete it by the end of this coming weekend.

If you would like us to feature your youtube video upload on to this page, post a comment and the page URL and we will upload it here.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and the best of luck in making your video go viral - and making money from it!

The leading, best and most famous Interior Designers & Architects in the United States of America

USA Interior Design & Architecture Companies

The most exciting aspect in creating an Interior Design & Architecture Directory of many of the top leading and famous designers and architects across the United States of America is the speed in which space is snapped up.

Thank you to all of those that have requested a Website link in the last 2-days - We have had to write back to a few companies to decline requests as space is limited to 10 businesses on each page.  Did we get the price ridiculously wrong?

For a nominal fee, you can now list your Website on the relevant State page listed below.  It's not every day that one of the UK's leading interior Designers gives International Interior Designers and Architects this opportunity.

Don't delay - Do this now - Space is limited to 10 businesses on each page.

Journal of An Interior Designer

Dorset Builders
Our first interior design assignment came about after promoting DecCardy Interior Design Dorset in the local Blackmore Vale Magazine in October 2008, offering half-price fees.
I gingerely stepped out of the car at May Cottage in Wiltshire, pads, pens, pencils, tape-measure and camera at the ready.
The Clients were hoping that we could wave a magic wand at their staircase design, change its location and retain all the beam infrastructure.  They hadn't enquired on a whim.  Having lived at the property for some 25 + years, they had not worked out how this would be feasible.
And, with the greatest respect, (we were told) this was why we had been commandeered to help them out!!
The brief was simple in itself - the solution was far more complex.
We set about plotting the existing beam infrastructure on high-tech interior design software and then created new starting points for the staircase.  No way was this going to be possible without removing parts of the beamwork!!
Hence, we went back to the Client, 2D and 3D images in hand, proposing that the layout would have to be much the same as it was with pictures of how an open-plan oak staircase would look.
And the end result was great, conformed to the brief including budget with flooring in 3 rooms together with the landing matching in solid oak.

Search Engine Optimization, Website Development, Marketing & Promotion

Search Engine Optimization, Website Develpoment, Marketing and Promotion.

Not wanting to teach anyone to suck eggs and much may already be known.  We created our Website in a few weeks which has already gained a modest Page Ranking with thousands of unique visitors daily.  The Website was created in HTML with Cascading Style Sheets - CSS. The decision was made not to use Javascript so that search engines could understand the language.

We are Interior Designers and not Website Designers.  The decision was made that we would design, build and manage our own Website to have the understanding as to how everything works.  And no link back to our kindly Website Designer.

Generic naming of everything from images to pages so that search engines understand. Very important in relation to images as they are otherwise unrecognisabe - On our Interior Design Company Website, each image has a generic TITLE, ALT and Description (Each of which are identical.) The power of this alone for your site is huge. Search engines pick up the name of the image (.jpg .gif etc) and the title you have attributed to it

Each of our thumbnail images are "background images" brought in by CSS, which then relate to the larger image at the front end. It looks great to the user if he/she can hover over a thumbnail for the larger image to display as opposed clicking it. If you know of a way of doing this without using Java, please let me know. A very useful resource - CSS Play and CSS Creator .

My take on Google algorythms (very unsure about that spelling :)) is that they are wanting to give their visitors the best results for the search terms used so that they are "useful." "Useful" is the key with any site - My experience has taught that meta-keywords are useless, though I wouldn't put a page up without them. The 2 main aspects are title and description. A useful resource, Site Solutions. I tend to put pages through Delorie's Lynx Viewer  first and read through exactly what the engines will see and importantly in what order, edit the page and then put it through the analysis page.

Then from useful, you go to important. The more a page of your site is listed on other domains, the more important. Reciprocal link exchange works with mutual keywords/tags - My belief is that if you make the back end important, i.e. Our Interior Design Company Directory is a listing of all the best PR ranking UK Interior Design Companies that is not a reciprocating link directory - Has a modest PR of 1 - Does this make DecCardy Interior Design Website "more important" as a resource. We believe so!!

We have 2 satellite sites - The Interior Design Company and  Need To Sell Want To Sell? purely giving us control over which links are where etc. Does this make DecCardy Interior Design  "more important" as a resource. Believe so!!

Submitting URL's to the engines at the earliest possible moment - Whilst constructing is good. Google, Bing, Yahoo  to name a few - Submitting URL's in our opinion via multi submission tools (free or pay-for) a waste of time.

Submitting URL's to both Alexa  and DMOZ  a must.

Google toolbar to establish PR of every site you visit - and maybe why? - Google Webmaster tools to ascertain what's going on very useful. If you are going to get involved with reciprocal linking, you need to check that Google indexes the page you are going to be featured on - Simply take the entire link page URL to a Google search and ensure its listed - You should also be able to see the cache and ascertain the last time the page was cached as a view of how often Google go and have a look!

The DOC Type is key - Strict or Transitional - How do the pages render - are they rendering in Standard or Querks mode? A good resource, W3 Validator  and W3 Schools for establishing DOC TYPE and good tutorials on CSS.

Best to develop a site in Firefox or e.g Opera and then have a look at the problems you encounter in I.E. (Particularly 5.5 and 6). There are fixes.  Browsershots  do a really good screenshot on different browsers - A must.

We use Java for our Stats as the information you get is far more detailed than a HTML script.  These are at the bottom (importantly) of every page and will be ignored by engines and unseen by visitors. If you use Java to showcase your images, engines will not be able to determine anything.

Then there's Twitter, Facebook, Digg and a whole host of other potential social networking/marketing sites...............and an inordinate amount more.

We surely have much to do and much to learn.  However, hoping the above resources are useful and more than happy to take criticism if you feel we are wrong and listen to any constructive comments you may have.  You can email us here.
