One easy difference in how you post videos on Facebook makes such a big difference in the number of views you get how fast. \u00a0It’s so easy. \u00a0Just upload your video directly to Facebook vs uploading it just to YouTube and then embedding that into your Facebook post. \u00a0Or instead of adding the link to your original posted video on an outside source to Facebook.<\/p>\n

Why? \u00a0The reason is as simple as the method, really. \u00a0Facebook favors videos uploaded directly to their website. \u00a0So their algorithm will show your video\/post to more people faster. \u00a0YouTube video creator Mark Green fervently explains Facebook’s reasoning further in his blog post,<\/p>\n

Theft, Lies, and Facebook Video<\/a>
\nFacebook says it\u2019s now streaming more video than YouTube. To be able to make that claim, all they had to do was cheat, lie, and steal.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Facebook wants to be #1 in video uploads\/views, so they favor showing videos to users on their website that comes from direct Facebook uploads.<\/p>\n

Want some real numbers proof? \u00a0Sonja Foust<\/a> of Duke University crunched the\u00a0numbers on this<\/a>.\u00a0These 2 tables show the difference clearly for 2 example videos:<\/p>\n

Video 1<\/p>\n

* is for clicks to open the YouTube video.
\n** is for clicks to open the Facebook video (rather than autoplay)<\/p>\n

So, if you want more post views on your video on Facebook, the data shows it is\u00a0best to upload directly to Facebook. \u00a0But as Green explains, if the video does not belong to you, you should just post the link\/embed the YouTube video, so the owner of the video receives the appropriate credit\/revenue.<\/p>\n
