Why Lisa?
She left her 9-to-5 job. She created a website. She made people listen to her and learn. Lisa Irby really deserves to talk about what she did and how she did that.

What has she done that you’re speaking of her?
She’s the author of www.2createawebsite.com and some other sites, that I’m not going to show here, because they aren’t the reasons for this post.

Seems like there’s nothing special about her
Then I should congratulate you, because you know those things, that Lisa shows and explains. But.. not so long ago I was the one, who read her articles and absorbed everything, that she was speaking about. I realized her strength in writing just some time later.

Somehow Lisa inspired me
That’s true. Maybe the reason was her way of making videos and her appearance there. Or maybe her articles, that have so many spaces between paragraphs, which helps you clearly see the general thought of them.
One of her characteristic features is “you have to learn.. if, you need to.. if”. This way she makes you imagine your task and the needed conditions to solve it very clearly.

How she amazes her audience
She really does it. I’ve seen lots of comments, where people simply were thanking her for what she had done. To tell the truth, I didn’t. And I won’t, because from that time I knew, that I’ll write about her.. And watch how I’m doing it.

How much does she earn?
Nobody knows that exactly. But I guess, that much more than 10,000$/per month. You can read about her old earnings on her website. That would give you an approximate thought of what she earns now.

What are her main ways to attract traffic and to keep it?
Her appearance in the videos. Her ability to teach.

Tried YouTube, right? How many views do you have? I bet you have some, though you’re looking for some ways to get more. These tips will help you to know about YouTube possible ways of getting traffic to your channel and then to your website, blog or anything that you promote in Internet.

• Choosing country and language: First of all, scroll all the way down to the bottom of any YouTube page. You’ll see there 2 options: Current Location, Current Language. When you’ve checked the needed options you’ll start seeing those videos, that relate to them. In order to make sure, if this works right, go back to the top of your current page and click “videos” or “channels” links below the search form. From there – choose any video and get right to its channel. You can see then where this video was made from.

  What difference does changing the “Current Language” option? It doesn’t. The only reason is simply to make you feel comfortable.

• Category of video: That’s right. You’ve got to be sure about your video category. That’ll help you in getting targeted traffic. So, be careful. You can always configure that, when you’re uploading a video, or in the settings of your uploaded videos.

• Video response: Promoting feature #1… if you’re lucky. You can find this feature right under the video itself and above comments. All you need is to find someone’s video in your niche with lots of views. If you feel, that you know about this subject better, try making a video response. This will bring you some part of the traffic from that video. That doesn’t work always, because you need the author’s approval, which you won’t get that simple.

  What do you need to get an approval? You’ll have to make your video response cool enough, so that it could be like a continue-thing. You might need to talk to that author. Send him PM (private message), add to your friend-list, or subscribe to his channel.. if that’s needed. Do something to make him believe that you’re a good guy, and your video doesn’t suck. Sometimes authors give their approvals at once.

• Activity: Forget about popularity without your activity and start commenting… everywhere. Yes, everywhere on YouTube. Subscribe to others’ channels, add to your friend-lists those, who, as you think, are not spammers and are active ones.. and belong to your niche. Communicate sendind PMs etc. But be careful not to become a spammer. There is a little difference between a spammer and a super-active user. Your traffic will grow according to the content and appearance of your videos + your activity.

• Title, description, keywords: Search engine stuff. Act with these as if it’s your website. And when your popularity begins growing, you’ll start getting traffic from the YouTube search engine. Until then it’s useless to rely on it.

• Subscribe! Right… ?: It’s almost the same as subscribing on blogs. You like making funny videos? Or.. do you prefer to teach people or show them how to do this or that? Look for those, who are in your niche. Comment them, chat with them, do the “play” kind of stuff… and of course – subscribe to them, if you like. That’s it. People will notice you, don’t doubt!

• Appearance of your video: You can look for some tips on the Youtube handbook page. In addition, I’d advice to configure the preview moment of your video. This can be done in the settings of your uploaded videos’ section. You surely have met some videos, that show very attractive moments as a preview moment. Don’t you want your video to be like one of those? :)

• Partnership: It’s like Google Adword+Adsense, but on YouTube. Your videos get more views and you also are able to earn money. Read these Partner Program Basics.

• So how to direct traffic from YouTube to your website?: It’s not difficult at all. You wether write your website link on the video itself, in the description (at the beginning is preferable) or in the channel. The better way is to add it anywhere that you can, but carefully. Try not to bother, add some piece of your fantasy.
