How do I get people to watch a video I made?

[angrykirby]

I worked really hard on this call of duty video that no one is watching. I'm trying to find ways to get people to see it. I posted it on here before but they told me I was advertising or something. I don't know where else to go to promote it. so any suggestions on where I can find people or sites to get eyes on my stuff?

here's the video if you wanna see it

Perhaps more Call of Duty oriented sites? I obviously don't know any, but do some Google searching. I've noticed among the actually gamers, CoD isn't really well recieved, even if it is a top selling game. Try more casual oriented places too, like sites where college guys frequent.

It's Actually pretty damned funny! But yea, Quite alot of people are abit snobby about call of duty really... But weather you like it or not, that is funny. Now, I'd suggest what the above says try finding COD sites, or COD related facebook pages - that's a good start. Well done!

Find a popular CoD youtube video and put your video as a video reply?

Also, you can track detailed stats for your video. Are people watching the first few minutes and then losing interest? You might need to re-edit the video and maybe cut it down to the very best bits. I know that when you've worked on a video you want to put every second of your material in, so you're not "wasting" anything - but actually, sometimes less is more.

I enjoyed the humour at the start but I kinda got lost when it jumped to live action.. really think it should have been machinima'd. But After the first two minutes it's just the same continuous joke, did it really need to be 7 minutes long? Just IMO of course.

What does this have to do with getting your video seen you may ask? Well its just a lot easier to recommend/introduce videos to friends if its kept short and sweet - this goes for every single person who watches it. Check out freddiew on youtube and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Just the audio alone, that vid was good. Anyways, you have over 700 subs! They should put up likes. Unless they are the "Sub 4 Sub" dickwads. For more views, it should be shorter. You could be able to get more views via social networks, or personal message one of the "big" Youtubers who are on your friends list. They might like it. They don't reply to PMs unless you are friends with them.
