How to succeed with MyPlayer

Have realistic expectations

The MyPlayer platform is not an ATM machine.  It won’t spit out 20 dollar bills or direct deposit money in to your bank account every time someone goes to your website.  It’s important to have realistic expectations in order to succeed and generate handsome amounts of revenue.

In general, your success with MyPlayer will be determined by two things: content and viewers.  Your content will attract viewers and your viewers will generate revenue.  The more viewers or visitors you have, the more people there will be to click on advertisements, and the more money you will make.  The concept is extremely simple.

Any website – assuming its content is updated on a regular basis – will grow with time.  This is just the nature of the internet.  What sets successful sites apart from the rest is the speed in which they grow.  Promoting your website is one of the most important aspects of quickly generating revenue, second only to having good content.  While a stray visitor may find your website by randomly typing it in to their address bar, 99% of your visitors will first visit your website by clicking on a link.  Getting these links out there is critical to your success and will be the catalyst for your growth.

Knowing this, it seems pretty logical that you’ll only have to do two things to make money with MyPlayer:
  1. Add quality content to your website
  2. Promote your content / website
Adding quality content - the MyPlayer advantage

The MyPlayer platform has a unique advantage when it comes to content.  Unlike most of the websites on the internet, you don’t have to create any of your own content.  In the time it would take to create just one video, you can add hundreds of videos to your website.  What’s more, MyPlayer was specifically designed and optimized to make adding videos to your website quick and easy, which means you’re spending your time most efficiently.  What sets your video website apart from the other large video sites such as YouTube is quality control, organization, and design.

Because you’ve hand-picked only the best videos for your particular audience, your viewers know they’ll only see quality videos that they want to watch.  There’s no longer a need for them to hunt through the videos on YouTube and watch 9 horrible videos before finally finding one worth watching.

Second, your videos are organized in a far superior way.  While a site like YouTube can only offer large, broad categories, your site is very specific.  You can have an unlimited number of categories and sub-categories allowing your viewers to find exactly what they want with only a few clicks.

Finally, your site looks and feels much better than the larger video sites.  With a sleek, intuitive design and a black background for the best possible video viewing experience, it’s much more enjoyable to watch videos on your site than on a larger video website like YouTube.
Promoting your content

Promoting your content, or more specifically, spreading links to your content across the internet, is going to determine your success.  The more time you spend promoting your content, the faster your site will grow.  This is particularly important when you’re first starting out.  Once you’ve amassed a solid number of repeat visitors to your website, they’ll do the promotion for you.  If people like your content, they’ll tell their friends and they’ll link to it.  The key is getting these first people to your website so they can start doing the work for you.

There are plenty of free and easy ways to promote your website.  First, you should let all of your friends know about your new site.  Send out an e-mail to everyone you know and share your new site with them.  You can even ask them to send the link to their friends, and they can tell their friends to pass the link on as well.  This simple act alone can get thousands of people to your website.

Next, you’ll want to place links to your content on large websites.  The best places to start looking are internet discussion forums and blogs related to the content of your videos.  Advertising your website should be avoided, but promoting your content is perfectly suitable.  While the two may sound similar, they’re quite different.  Blatantly advertising your website (a link to your home page) will only bring you negative attention, however, sharing a link to one of your videos, or promoting your content, is acceptable and often appreciated.  If people like the video you posted they’ll reply to your forum post or blog comment and indirectly continue advertising your website for you.  This act alone can jump-start your new website and bring you the repeat visitors you need for long term success.

Finally, search engines will do the rest of the work for you.  If you’ve been posting links to your content on various websites, Google, Yahoo, and other major search engines will find and record those links in 5 to 14 days.  Search engines love websites that have lots of other websites linking to them.  If you’ve been doing your homework and promoting your content, it won’t be long before people start stumbling across your website on the major search engines.

By following those few simple steps, you can generate the initial traffic to your website that will act as the catalyst for your long-term growth and start earning advertising revenue instantly.
