BE THE EXPERT
One way to get fans for your site is to provide “How To” videos, which are some of the most popular videos on the internet. Simple topics like “How To mix House into Hip Hop” to “How to Get Past the Door Whore” these can get you started and help you become The Go-To Guru of Night Clubs.
MAKE A DOLLAR OFF YOUR 2 CENTS
Another way to get attention is sharing your reviews of popular subjects in the media. Doing a review of books, movies, TV, theater, or anything folks love and blog about in pop culture will draw attention. The popular titles, topics and subjects alone will drive more traffic to your video.
POP IN SOME TUNES
Open and close your video with music. A short musical introduction and closing always adds to the overall flavor of your film and it’s simple to do. Just make sure that the music is royalty free or that you have the rights to use it. Want to get people to help promote you—- use your friends music instead of your own.
NARRATION AND TEXT
Try a voice-over or a flash of text explaining a scene in the movie. Michelle Phan has mastered this, which launched her into stardom. Check out:

MORE WORDS WORDS WORDS
To spice things up, overlay some text every couple of seconds highlighting certain words, phrases or main concepts. It can be words like “Big Bootie Hoe” or “House-ing All Nite Long” or even “Who Got Goose,”
A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 ZUCCHINI
Insert some stills that feature the subject you are highlighting. Show some pics of Dj Equipment Your reviewing, People working the Door, or CD covers.
MAKE ‘EM LAUGH
If writing is not your thing, you can jot down a short outline and then hire an aspiring comedian, screenwriter, or ghostwriter to punch it up for you. The average rate is $30 for a 2-minute video and it gives you the advantage of a professional voice to make your vids memorable. And the good ones usually throw in the jokes for free.
SHAMELESS BRANDING
Add a title at the beginning and end of your video that features your restaurant name and web address. Also known as Into/Outro titles.
ADD A WATERMARK
Just make sure it on the lower LEFT HAND side, since YouTube will put their watermark on the lower right hand side.
