Make a Help Video for YouTube

youtubeWant to have your video viewed alot?

Here’s a great way to do so.

YouTube is asking people to submit videos about… YouTube help topics.

Videos like this one answering the question “Why isn’t my video showing up in the search results?” – This video has over 300,000 views.

Here is another with about 1 million views…

I am actually quite impressed that YouTube is calling for user videos to enhance their help documentation.

This idea would work well for most Google products. It also is good for the video creator. Good combo!

The YouTube help documentation will include relevant help videos on the individual help page. I can’t think of a better more trusted place I would want my videos at. A few such videos and I think your YouTube channel can get alot of trust points.

This is a great idea, and I hope it spreads to other help areas for Google. They even have a Google gadget for it….

Note to YouTube Gadget creator: You need an appropriate thumbnail and screenshot for this gadget. You should fix that.
