Promoting Content
Promoting the videos is an important part of YouTube Channel Optimization. Here are some common ways people use to promote videos. Of course, this is not an exhaustive list. You need to find what works for you and go with it.
In corporate context, the videos which need promotion are usually related to a current topic like new product launch, new promotion or an event. This is best done by customizing the Email signature which can be easily done centrally by IT.
As people send thousands of emails every day, this method is very powerful and yet, it is completely free of cost.
