Ready For The Camera? Try These 7 Smart Video Marketing Pointers

Video marketing is one of the best ways to market your business. When implemented properly, it is a sure fire way to increase sales and profits. For it to work, however, it must be properly implemented in an intelligent manner. This article contains information you need to know in order to succeed using this method.

Here are some easy to implement video marketing tips:

1. Create Interesting Video Episodes

Don't just make one video and give up! Keep your visitors engaged and wanting to come back and watch more by creating interesting episodes. Leave your viewers hanging at the end of each episode so that they just have to come back and see what happens. This is a great marketing strategy and can be highly effective.

2. Create A How-To Video

Product manufacturers or re-sellers should create videos showing how the product can be used in alternative ways. For example, while duct tape is great for ducts, Duck Tape has created how-tos for a million other projects, even how to create a wallet! This leads to amazing viral video success on their part.

3. Be Consistent

If you are posting videos on a regular schedule, you have to stick to it. Over time, people will begin to anticipate videos from you and your company. The same way people follow television programs, they expect your videos to be released at a specific time and on a specific day. Let them know if there will not be an update or new video coming.

4. Organize Contests

People love competition, which is why holding a video contest is such a great marketing strategy. Ask viewers to create their own videos and then have everyone vote on them. This will help drive viewers to your site and energize them by giving them a chance to win something.

5. Create Backlinks From Your Youtube Video

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.

6. Create Eye Catching Titles

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.

Use your other internet marketing campaigns to draw attention to your videos. You could for instance embed your videos on your site or blog, share some links in your newsletter and post your videos on social networks. Add a link to your YouTube channel in the signature of your emails and list it as a way of contacting you.

7. Conduct A Live Event

For your next online video marketing project, cover a live event that has relevance to your industry or target audience. For example, a conference about your product or service could be attended, camera in hand, as you explain various elements of the business and event to the audience. Edit it later to professionally polished, and you've got a great video to display!

As a home based business owner, you are making a mistake if you neglect to utilize this proven to be effective marketing technique.
