It is important that you create and submit a transcript for the search engines where you will upload your videos. Simply add a transcript to the video file, but make sure to include a keyword rich title for the transcript. Next, write a short introductory paragraph or summary that describes the subject matter of your video, and then publish it.
The importance of keywords has always been emphasized time and again. And this is equally important in optimizing your videos for search engines. Make sure to encode the keywords you are targeting into your videos.

A video thumbnail is also vital because sometimes, it determines whether viewers will watch your video or not, so make sure that each site is displaying the right thumbnail for your videos. Follow these steps, and your videos will become popular in no time.
