Background on MetaCafe
MetaCafe is a short-form video sharing network on the web. Posting and sharing videos on the web is a great, free way to advertise and create quality links and buzz back to your site. This serves as a great platform for businesses that are entertainment focused.
How to Create an Account on MetaCafe
Step 1. Start at MetaCafe.com.
Step 2. Go to the upper right-hand corner of the page. Click “Sign Up” to begin setting up your MetaCafe account.
Step 3. On this screen you can either sign up with Facebook or create an account through MetaCafe. Enter your Email, Nickname, and Password in the fields. Click “Sign Up” to continue.
Step 4. Your account is now complete! You can now go to your profile and upload videos, a profile picture, etc. You can also check your video statistics and insert the URL to your website.
Best Practices for MetaCafe:
-
The more videos you can upload, the better. The videos should be made with quality and care. As a quick tip: Begin by adding whatever videos you’ve completed in the past before creating new ones. Whether you are advertising a specific product, a promotion, how to perform a specific procedure, etc., there are so many options for videos! Create content that will help or boost your audience. Valuable video content that satisfies your audience’s needs is crucial.
-
Be sure to add keywords to your title, tag, and descriptions for your videos so that they can be easily found on the web and therefore better optimized for search results.
-
After posting a video on MetaCafe make sure that you always share it on your social sites and blog right after. This step should be a build-in step of the video set-up process. Share your video socially as soon as it’s posted.
-
Be sure to also check out MetaCafe’s submission guidelines before uploading any videos for your business.
