Some surefire ways to promote your video are:

1. Twitter
2. Facebook

6. By Word of Mouth

Instant Messaging

Twitter is a very popular way of sending instant messages online. Having an outlet where you can reach a great number of people is a wonderful way to promote your YouTube video. However, if you don't have many friends on your twitter account, you may want to add more. This is ensuring your information is received by many people at one time. Every friend which you have on your list will see whatever you tweet on your twitter account. If you wish, you may add a link to your video, to make it easy for your friends to take a look. 

One surefire way of getting individuals with your same interests looking at your video, is by customizing your friend's list to one which includes individuals who you could promote your YouTube video to. This is not to say exclude your other friends on twitter, but simply attempt to add other friends who may have some of the same interests as you, or similar to the topic of the video. Since tweets go out instantaneously, you may have people viewing your videos immediately following your tweet. Always remember to add the link needed to promote your YouTube video.

Reach Everyone You Know at Once

Everyone seems to be on facebook these days, which is why it makes so much sense for you to promote your YouTube video there. If you are a member of facebook, be sure to add your video link to your page, and send it to your facebook friends. You can also find new friends on facebook as well, to send your video link to. If you are comfortable with your talent, sharing it with the world should be no problem. Posting your video link to facebook can bring in wanted views of your video; however it will also bring opinions- which are likely to be posted on facebook as well. This should be okay, as you are confident in yourself, and will take all feedback on your video as constructive criticism, and critique.   This will help you grow, as you will know what people like, and what they do not.

Conceptualize Your Blog

Create a blog to promote your YouTube video. Some individuals put their YouTube videos on their blog which is a good way to bring viewers to your blog. However, if you prefer they go directly to YouTube’s website, you can promote your YouTube video with a link and a nice catch phrase. Blogging will give your readers an additional way to get to know you. Sure, they see your videos, but there is so much more to you than your videos alone. So begin blogging about topics which pertain to your video. This way your audience will be interested in viewing the video because of what you wrote. Videos can be a headache for some, as many have slow computers who simply buffer and stop. Having your video surrounded by written information will potentially make the reader want to read more, and see more videos. This is a great way to create your following, as many people will feel close to you through your writings. Your YouTube video will simply back it all up.

Sending it By Email

Email is still a fast way to get information from one individual to another. Sure, it's not instant, however not everyone is on their computer at the same time to receive messages instantaneously, so emails are simply more convenient. To promote your YouTube video by email, send your email to whomever you wish to see your video, and add a link. This may sound a bit archaic, however, it still works. It also enables the person who receives your video to save it for themselves. 

Using a "Catch" Video

You can always promote your YouTube video by way of another YouTube video, sound odd? Sure it does, but it works. Simply upload a video which is relevant, such as a game walkthrough, or something of the sort- as long as it is a heavily searched topic. Make sure the video looks good, and keeps the attention of the viewer. Remember, this video's sole purpose is to catch their attention in order to promote your intended video. You can include a link to your video at the end of your lead video, including a command statement such as "for more go to......." . If you are able to get viewers to the end of your lead video, it is very likely that they will click to view your primary video, and since YouTube is free of charge, at the end of the day, you would be out of nothing, but may gain additional viewers to your original video.

Tradition Still Works

One last way of promoting your YouTube video is the simple old fashioned way- by word of mouth. Let friends and family know that you have a new video on YouTube which you would like for them to see, and don't be shy about asking if they can include a link on their facebook page, or on a tweet to their followers. Another way is by going to blogs and websites which have videos or information which may be on the same subject line as your video. Find the contact information for the website, and send an email asking if they would like to swap links. This simply means, you put their video or blog link on your site, and they will in turn put yours on theirs. This is a great way to promote your YouTube video as well, because you will now potentially have their traffic viewing your video. 

Don't Give Up

Promoting your video will take time, and may be exhausting- but you will feel a great sense of accomplishment once you begin to see how interested people are. If you promoter your YouTube video with diligence, you will get viewers eventually, it just may take a bit of time. Never let this bother you, because it only takes one viewer to recognize your talents, and decide that you are worth their efforts. You will then see just how promoting your YouTube video paid off.
