Marketing Through Videos Can Make A Difference

By Andersen Hanne


While you might have heard of video marketing, you may yet be unclear as to what it entails. Basically, it is when you make a video, post it online, and generate more interest in your business. When this is used in a correct manner, it's a fantastic way to market a product or service. This article offers the basics for it.

Ask your customers to create their own videos. You could for instance organize a contest and ask customers to film themselves while they use your products. Reward the best videos with an interesting prize and use the submitted videos as promotional material for your social media marketing campaign and for your website.

Use events such as expos and trade shows to interview experts. You can then post the interviews on your site as a resource for your viewers. Ask the types of questions that your audience would ask and try to keep the interview as interesting as you can to hold your viewer's attention.

Video marketing doesn't give you much time to catch viewer attention. The initial 15 seconds of the videos you make are the most important. Give your viewers a reason to watch the whole thing.

Help potential customers find your videos by using strong keywords. If you have a YouTube channel, you should take the time to write descriptions for all your videos and share links to your main site. Choose strong keyword's potential customers are likely to use when they look up videos on topics related to your products.

Place your video content on YouTube and link it back to your website. This can help your video be seen by a wide audience and potentially get shared and moved to the front page. The kind of exposure that YouTube provides, partly because it is owned by Google, is huge.

A great reason to have costars in your video is that they'll have a network, too. If you bring on an expert in the field, he'll let his network know he's going to be appearing in your video, growing your exposure. They'll share with their network, if the content is good, and you'll get many viewers quickly.

Watch the statistics available for your video, whether it be your server stats or on YouTube. This will help you compare each video you make so you can easily tell which are successful and which should have been left on the cutting room floor. This is the only way to continue building your campaigns skyward.

Content is king on a website, in a magazine or in an online video. What you put out to the world not only tells them who you are but also what you're about. If you want them to become clients or customers, you have to give them what they're looking for in a fun format.

You should always keep making videos so your customers will come back and watch again and again. Boring content only drives away potential viewers, and that is not good for your business. You want your viewers to be anxiously awaiting your next video. The quality of your content will determine how successful your video marketing campaign is.

Do not assume that you must hire a professional video crew or rent professional equipment. If you have written your own content, have a quiet room and a webcam or digital camera capable of recording video, you can do it yourself! Make a few trial runs and upload them to YouTube but only for private viewership. This will let you see how to get it right without anyone seeing your trial and errors.

As stated previously, video marketing is the best way to connect with younger people. The tips in this article should help you begin to get started with using video marketing in your business. Use what you've learned to create success.
