You're asking the fundamental question of online marketing, "how do I get traffic?"

Here are some ideas:
  1. Submit your site to as many search engines as you can
  2. Use a favicon.ico
  3. Make sure your Meta Tags and Title are appropriate and have a keyword strategy
  4. Employ SEO optimization and routines
  5. Subscribe to usenet groups and talk about your sit there.
  6. Exchange video blog posts with others
  7. Promote your site during daily tasts: emails, signatures, social networks, etc
  8. Talk about other video bloggers in your posts
  9. Release "best of" compliations
  10. Build a mailing list of targeted people and reward (shoutouts, etc) for people who grow the list for you.
  11. Rent an e-mail list.  Yes, spam is bad.  But targeted email is good.
  12. Transcribe your video blog into text using a voice recognition program.
  13. Buy traffic.
  14. TV ads are not expensive in local markets.  Check out spotrunner
  15. There are a large number of web directories.  Find them.  Submit to them.
  16. Display ads from a variety of ad networks.  Not for the ad revenue but for the linking.
  17. Become part of Blogging and Online Forum communities.  Better yet, hire outsourced labour to become you and do this.
  18. If you talk about anything topical (news, events, etc) in your video blog, sponsor news media events.  Even the smallest, cheapest ads usually result in positive traffic.
  19. Regular blogs have sponsored reviews, so do popular video blogs.  Actively accept sponsored reviews to diversify your content.
  20. Market in the real world creatively.  Golden Palace is an extreme example of what I'm talking about.
  21. Use the free business card offers of Vistaprint and similar sites to print simple business cards.  Leave them places you go.  Bars, bathrooms, brothels.
  22. If you're not already, make sure that your video blogs appear across ALL of the youtube clones.
  23. Submit regular press releases and get good at writing them
  24. Syndicate your videos with an RSS feed and the like
  25. Add relevant VIDEO answers to all of the "answers" sites - Mahalo, Yahoo, etc.
  26. Create a google sitemap.  They're the new meta tag.
  27. Promote regular free contests on other sites.
  28. Offer a "secret code only you know" to access additional content or members area
  29. If you're close to one of their venue's, visit AdTech.  Spend 1 hour on the floor and the rest of y our time in the bar talking to people.

Above all else, remember this: CONTENT IS KING.  You must have engaging content to be successful.

If you would like any of these quick points expanded, please don't hesitate to ask.

I hope that this helps, Rslakinski!
