6 Best Video Sharing Sites To Promote Your Videos

It’s all about videos these days. Not exactly, but close enough. Creating videos is not as simple as creating textual content, which means the barrier to entry is a bit higher as far as this channel is concerned. But the falling prices of camcorders and the recent developments in the social media have made it possible for more to go online and start sharing content with others. With video distribution networks such as YouTube, video producers have an easy way to show-case their work and get recognition for their work. Of course, if they are successful with their work, they can graduate to bigger and better things.

In order to go viral, you need to make sure your video gets as much exposure as possible, and you shouldn’t focus on the most popular sites only. There are plenty of video sharing sites available that you can take advantage of to push your videos. But you want to make sure you target the ones that give you the biggest bang for your efforts. After all, there are only 24 hours in each day, and you can’t focus all day on submitting videos to all these different sites. So you have to pick and choose your spots. With that in mind, here are a few cool video sharing sites that can help you go viral on the web:

YouTube: YouTube doesn’t need any introduction. The service is responsible for helping many achieve superstardom with their videos. Can be lucrative if you make it as a partner.

Viddler: Viddler is made for those who are looking to create branded videos. The pro plans can be pricey, but the service is well worth the investment if you are into vlogging.

Vimeo: Vimeo is one of the best alternatives to YouTube. In fact, many professionals use Vimeo to share their videos with the world. It may not get as much traffic as YouTube, but I found it easier to work with. Great community to be a part of, and you can always to switch to a premium account if you need more storage.

DailyMotion: a great way for video bloggers to share their content with the community. You can also partner up with DailyMotion and get rolling with MotionMakers program. In that case, you can expect your videos to be promoted by DailyMotion.

MetaCafe: MetaCafe was one of the first videos sites that started compensating video producers. Video makers who had their content go popular on MetaCafe were somewhat compensated for their work. Don’t even think about submitting low quality videos to MetaCafe as the community will strike it down.

Bonus: TubeMogul: a wonderful service that will distribute your videos and helps you get some serious analysis done to see whether your videos are working. TubeMogul is a video submission service on steroids.
