With over 300 million monthly users and available in over 183 languages, Dailymotion is one of the biggest video platforms in the world! No matter what you’re looking for or what type of content you create - whether it’s news, sports, entertainment, or education - Dailymotion has something for everyone.

Still, it can be confusing to navigate a new social media platform, especially when you’re just starting out.

Not to mention reaching your social media goals when your content is just one of millions in a sea of high-performing content. So how can you set your videos apart and stay afloat? Read on to find out more!

Get Familiar With The Platform

Dailymotion, like any other video streaming platform, has a few basic elements to take into consideration when acclimating to the site. First, the homepage, where the top videos - trending content, breaking news, and high-engagement content - are featured alongside up and coming profiles. 

Users can navigate between several tabs depending on the type of content they’d like to see, including Featured videos, News, Sports, Entertainment, and Music. 

The right-hand sidebar also focuses on Featured videos from top profiles as well as an Explore option. 

Once you’ve created an account you can access the search feature, on the top right menu as well as your video library and your own profile.

Build A Strong Profile

Much like YouTube, Dailymotion profiles consist of a profile image, a cover photo, a brief bio, social media links, and a few key metrics.

Unlike YouTube the top three key metrics featured on a Dailmotion profile are the total number of views a profile has received through its content, the number of followers, and the total number of videos posted on the profile. 

As you scroll down, you can see videos that are currently streaming live, featured videos, a space to access all videos, the most viewed videos, playlists, and related channels in that order.

To make the most of your Dailymotion profile, it’s recommended that you take advantage of as many features as possible. Choose a professional profile picture and cover photo, include a brief but relevant bio, link to as many social media profiles as you have, and always be sure to have content in each of the profile sections for your followers to refer to.

Maintaining at least one daily stream, creating curated playlists for your followers, choosing the best videos to feature, and maintaining a consistent upload schedule are key for Dailymotion success. 

Create Content That Shines

As with any other social media profile, creating high-quality content is key to success. Without eye-catching content that brings value to your audience - whether through informing, educating, or entertaining - it’s not likely that you’ll be able to maintain consistent performance with your profile. 

If you’re just starting out and not sure where to begin, why not repurpose your content from other platforms? Find a few posts that had particularly high engagement and expand upon them in video form. For example, if your Instagram post on your desk setup for productivity received a record number of likes and comments, why not create a video showing your followers how to recreate that setup and review a few of your favorite productivity tools in the process?

No matter what type of content you post, be sure to share it across as many platforms as you can to boost visibility and get the conversation started! And don’t shy away from engaging with your audience when they respond. While Dailymotion doesn’t offer a comment feature, your audience is sure to speak up about the content they do (or don’t) enjoy across your other platforms. Don’t be afraid to open a friendly dialogue and take any criticism with open arms (and use it as inspiration for future content!)

SMM Tools For Success

Whether you’re a veteran content creator or just starting off, it can be difficult to break into a new platform or reach your engagement goals without a little boost. That’s where Dailymotion SMM tools come in! Dailymotion and other social media platforms have an algorithm that favors high-performing content which means any up and coming creators and their content get pushed into the shadows, never getting the chance to shine.

Sound unfair? That’s because it is! With Dailymotion SMM tools like Dailymotion Views and Dailymotion Followers, you can increase your engagement and build a strong foundation of followers to allow your content its rightful place in the Featured tab without breaking a sweat over pesky algorithms and analytics. Take back the engagement that you deserve and give your audience the quality content they’ve been waiting for.

All you have to do is invest in SMM tools and keep creating the amazing content that you’re known for - the algorithm will do the rest!
