1. Place your video on YouTube or another server that allows for embedding. Embed the video in a blog and encourage others to do the same. Make it easy for them by pasting the code in your blog’s text, or showing them how to click on the bottom right corner of the YouTube player to reveal the embed code.
2. Send an email to everyone you know that contains a link to the page that contains the video.
3. Put the video on your homepage and have it play automatically.
4. Send the link to friends who have websites and ask them to link to your video.
5. Send out a press release announcing your video or some other news about your organization that gets folks to your website.
6. Place ads on websites that link to the video.
7. Enter your video in contests.
8. Compress your video as a tiny .mp4 and email it as an attachment (less than 2MB - preferably 500kb or less).
9. When you post to a blog, you can use HTML to create a hyperlink to your video. It will look like this:
<a href=”http://www.yourvideo.com/yourvideourl.html”>Click here to watch my video!</a>
10. While you are hyperlinking, make photos on your website link to your video.
11. Give away USB jump drives that have the video loaded.
12. Give out CD-ROMS that have your video loaded.
