YouTube is a famous video sharing site that allows users to upload, share and comment on videos. There are a number ways you can use YouTube to market iPad to the users.

You can create a funny video that brings entertainment to people. Your video will not gain a lot of views if it contains random images and uses poor video editing. Instead of creating a slideshow of pictures accumulated from the web, include some video editing such as call outs, background music and etc. Alternatively, you can create a video featuring yourself. When creating a video, make sure that it does not contain any vulgar or sexual undertones to avoid being banned by YouTube.

After you have uploaded to YouTube, you must assign the tags. Tags help to identify and categorize your videos on YouTube. If you did not assign a tag, no one will be able to find your videos among the millions of videos stored in the YouTube database. The tags allow the users to easily find your videos when he or she performs a search for related information. Before you add tags to the video, you should do some research on the popular tags. Instead of using the same tags as your competitor, try to use a different keyword tag with higher search ability for your own videos. You can use tags as anchor text to your YouTube video link when commenting on related videos.

With YouTube, you will be able to share your video with one of the popular social networking sites including Twitter. You can also email a video to your YouTube friends. Although YouTube is not as comprehensive as other social networking sites such as Facebook, it seems to be moving toward that direction.

Performance measurement is important because it can help you to determine how the market responds to your product so that you know how to promote it and increase sales. YouTube can be used to obtain feedback from video ratings and user comments. The Insights and statistic allows you to analyze the traffic to your YouTube videos through the views, viewer demographics, popularity and community. The community tab reports the rating, comments and numbers of people that favorite your video. The hot spot compares the popularity of your video to other videos if the similar length time. The hot spot feature helps you to realize which part of video should be improved so that you can make better videos in the future.

YouTube can be used to generate traffic to your website through the link in the video descriptions. YouTube provides high conversion rate because Google often rank videos first on the search engine results.

As a conclusion, YouTube is an excellent tool of marketing iPad to users. It also serves as an important source for related website traffic with high conversion rate.
