How to Make Your YouTube Video Popular & Viral

Want to get your amateur  YouTube videos shot with a non professional camcorder hit the charts like this most popular YouTube video? David Scott shares tricks and techniques to help your YouTube video go viral:

Don’t attempt “stealth” fake customer insertions to YouTube.
Some companies try to sneak corporate-sponsored video onto YouTube in a way that makes it seem like it is consumer-generated. The YouTube community is remarkably skilled at ratting out inauthentic video, so this approach is fraught with danger.

Your video should be no longer then 2 minutes (preferably less)
Think very short. Although YouTube will accept a video that is less than 10 minutes, smaller than 100MB try to make the video between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.

Make your description clear and specific.
To best promote your video, you’ll want its text description on YouTube to be accurate and interesting. Use descriptive keywords and language that people will find when they search for videos like yours. And use the correct categorizations on YouTube so people will find it. Link.
