Sunny Lenarduzzi: I'm going to show you the quickest way to post your YouTube videos to
Instagram and six secret tricks to get more views for your YouTube videos from Instagram.
And I mean a lot more.
Welcome to Tip Tuesday where I share a bite sized bright ideas to build your business.
Before we dive into how to promote your YouTube videos on Instagram to get a lot more views,
how do you actually get your YouTube videos onto Instagram?
Well, I'm going to show you right now.
Here is called tubewgram.com.
This thing is so great.
What I'm going to do is click on post YouTube to Instagram and I'm going to paste the URL
of one of my YouTube videos in here.
It is my don't start a YouTube channel until you watch this video.
Basically it takes a one minute clip.
You can make it shorter if you want, and then you just need to download it.
You're going to click here.
Don't click here, click here to start the download.
Then you can either download it on mobile or you can download the video directly on
desktop.
What I prefer to do is put in my email address so that I can download it from my email on
my phone.
I just find that this link is a little finicky.
You want to type in your email address and then press send email and you'll get an email
with your downloaded clip that you can then upload onto Instagram.
Let's head over to the phone to do that.
Now on my phone I'm going to open up Instagram and I am going to go to the very first video,
which is the video clip that I downloaded from the email and it goes right onto my camera
roll.
Because it's been a long Instagram, automatically kind of chops it up for me and then I could
just add text and say something like new video out now and add in some fun little elements
and post it up on my story.
The next tool, the last tool that you'll need to know is to post videos to your feed and
make them look cool.
You can go to an app called Video Meme and choose the video that you want.
We'll choose obviously the most recent video and I'm going to choose that clip and I can
add in text here.
Let's say I want to write in, don't start YouTube.
That's it.
That's really all you need to do.
Save the video.
You can upgrade so you don't have the watermark on it, but save the video and you can post
it up onto Instagram.
Why do you make these teasers anyways?
Well, this takes us into the next part of this video.
You want to make sure that you're promoting your YouTube videos everywhere, but Instagram
is an amazing way to drive traffic from Instagram to your YouTube video so you get even more
engagement and you get higher rankings and you can push out and suggest it, and all of
the great things happen for your video.
You want to make sure that you're using those teasers to drive [inaudible] traffic to the
videos that you really want to get seen, which in my opinion should be every video that you
post.
How do you use these ninja tricks for actually promoting your videos?
Let's do it.
Obviously you can promote your video in your story and in your feed and if you don't have
the swipe up feature, stay tuned until the end because I've got a secret little tip for
how you can do it without 10,000 followers.
It's really cool.
Step one is I love to use the polls inside of Instagram stories.
This is one of my ninja tricks for promoting your videos.
You want to ask people if they want to see your video.
If they vote yes, you send them a DM on Instagram.
If you haven't watched my video on how to double your growth on Instagram, this is one
of the things that I talked about is using the poll feature.
This is a great way to drive traffic and build intimacy with the people that follow you on
Instagram.
When you DM them, you're going to show up in their feed more, which will increase your
engagement on Instagram.
It's a win, win, win, I think.
Oh my gosh.
The feedback for today's video has been so amazing and it's gaining a lot of traction.
If you haven't watched it yet, let me know if you want to see it and I'll DM you over
the link.
That's step number one is ask people in Instagram polls if they want to watch your video and
then DM the people who vote yes with the actual link to your video.
Step number two is when you post some sort of teaser or even a photo in your actual Instagram
feed, ask people if they want to see the video and if they do to comment below with something.
Sometimes I'll say comment below with, I want to see the video.
And when people do that I'll again send them a DM with the link to the video.
Step number three, just put the link in your bio.
The only clickable link on Instagram is the link that's in your bio.
So make sure that your YouTube video, especially when you're first growing your channel, is
there because that's the link that everyone who first visits your bio is going to click
on and it's going to drive more views and more traffic to that video.
Step number four is featuring YouTube comments in your story.
Featuring the feedback that you're getting and all the positive comments that you're
getting because it makes people want to go watch it and it makes them feel like they're
missing out.
That whole FOMO thing is real.
Use FOMO in your stories by showing people, this is what everyone's saying about the video
and this is all the feedback I'm getting.
You better go check it out.
Step number five is to tell people to actually go search for your videos because the more
clicks that your video gets versus other people who are maybe in the same category, the more
that YouTube is going to drive traffic to your video through suggested in search.
What I'll do is I'll just say, if you want to watch this video, type in YouTube millionaire
in the search on YouTube and click on my video because again, that's driving more clicks
and click through rate on YouTube, the more clicks that you get on your video for people
to actually go watch is a huge component on getting more eyeballs on your content.
And number six, ask people to share your video on social media.
You'll probably notice that in my videos recently I've been asking you to take a screenshot,
which you can do right now, and then share it out on Instagram and tag me.
By doing that, I'm having you the viewer advocate for my video and share it with your audiences.
It's a secret little way on Instagram specifically to get people to share out your video and
get more traction and momentum.
And then of course, I can also share those with my audience, which creates even more
social proof that my video is a must watch.
It's also a great way to create user generated content that's UGC for short, which allows
you to create content without you actually creating content because your viewers are
creating it for you.
Step number seven is IGTV.
I love IGTV and we take all of my YouTube videos and we post them on to IGTV, but we
do it a full week after the original YouTube videos posted.
Why do we do that?
Because we want to drive all the traffic to this YouTube video in the first 24 hours and
really the first week to make sure that it's getting all of the engagement.
I don't post the same video on IGTV and YouTube on the same day because I don't want to split
my audience on two different platforms.
I want to make sure all the engagement goes to YouTube and I'm getting that evergreen
search traffic by ranking super high because I have all this engagement on that video and
then a week later I can promote it onto IGTV by sharing the full video there and telling
people if you want to go see a different version of this, check it out on YouTube.
I'm just repurposing it onto IGTV.
Keep in mind you can keep sharing your videos on Instagram.
You don't have to just share it once.
You can continue to share it on your stories because they disappear in 24 hours anyways,
so you can just keep sharing it out and driving more and more traffic.
Now, I told you I had a little ninja trick for how you can use the swipe up feature on
your Instagram stories without 10,000 followers.
I'm going to get to that in one second.
Before I do, if you really want to get serious about growing on YouTube, make sure you click
