How To Use Videos To Promote Yourself And Business

By Shaun Scoles


Video marketing is a technique that has grown in popularity and that holds tremendous possibilities for those willing to give it a try. The most important step in beginning your foray into this realm involves learning all you can about different strategies and methods. The article that follows is a great place to begin doing just that.

Try submitting your videos to various video websites. YouTube is very popular and should be used, but don't forget there are several video hosting sites out there. Sites like Meta Caf?, Vimeo, and Daily Motion can offer some variety to your campaign. You can add videos to your own website, but don't go overboard since it can affect your page loading time.

To help people notice your videos you should develop a title that is eye catching and mind bending. Use a play on words or a rhyme to help people remember the name of your video. You should also use your primary keyword and if possible at least one or two associated keywords.

When searching for inspiration, try YouTube Suggest to find related topics which you could speak on. This gives you a tree of various ideas which you can either use outright or might spark a topic idea in your mind. The more research you do, the more ideas you'll come up with.

Expensive video equipment is really not necessary to produce a quality video. You do not have to have a professional camera to do a video. There is probably no need to develop a formal script, either. Simply relax and act as you normally would act. Look into the camera and talk. You may not have to do this. You can also use pictures or PowerPoint slides if you do not want to appear in your videos.

Video tutorials are a great way for you to get in touch with a much wider audience. When people do not know how to do something, they have the tendency to look online for advice. Having videos that will teach what they want to know will make you an expert in their eyes.

If you are not really an expert on a topic, do not try to pretend. The best way to get around that is by interviewing people on video that are experts in your niche. A trade show or seminar is a great place to meet people that won't mind doing a video.

You should always think carefully about what you are putting in your videos. Find out the origin of the traffic, the time of viewing and the number of times the video is viewed. You can find out a lot from this data. Never, never, never try to sell your viewers something in your video. Instead, offer your visitors something worthwhile such as a demonstration of how to do something or how to use a product. By offering relevant information, your visitors are more apt to visit your website, which could in turn result in a sale.

Video marketing is something that is new, and something that is popular. Video marketing is a technique that connects you to your customers, and entices new customers as well. The possibilities are endless with video marketing, so use the tips in this article to help you figure out how you can best use video in your marketing.
