how long until a video on youtube loads for people to view it?

[Brandon]

i just uploaded a video and i searched it up but it wasnt there

[ACM1PT]

it depends on the size and quality for the video to be processed then people will be able to see it

You have to wait until it is finished processing before you can access it.

Depending on the size of the video it will take some time.

Just be patient.

That depends on your net connection.

If you are unable to find your video on the search. Check on your profile under "My Videos"

It depends. If it's like a 5 minute video it will process quicker then a 15 minute video. You would have to wait until it processes. It does also depend based on the type fo camera you use.

To get more views, you need to work quite hard. There are a lot of people on YouTube who are getting popular and also getting a lot of money from YouTube. As I see their videos getting a lot of views, they don’t seem to be special ( or very talented) even gives me a feeling that anybody who is serious about making videos can actually get a lot of views.
You can greatly increase your YouTube views by following basic optimization tips:
1. Title: optimize titles so that they get better search engine results plus get a lot of views on YouTube.
2. Thumbnails: Select a compelling thumbnail that catches eyes.
3. Don't make an Ad(only for commercial purpose): if your video doesn't provide any value it won't be viewed again and again.
4. Be innovative: Innovative videos spread like a virus on social networking sites and easily get on the front page of YouTube. So be creative, be funny.
5 .Optimize tags: Ensure proper tagging to get better position in search results.
6.Social networking: use twitter,facebook,Myspace to promote...
7. Your personal blog: set up a website or a blog. Direct people from videos to blog also vice versa.
8.Use other video sites: use the power of Daily Motion, MetaCafe and other video sites.
9.Never Ever give up: Even if your initial attempts fail, do yourself a favour, don't give up.
