Simple Steps To Help Master The Art Of Video Marketing

By Kazuko Hiestand


In these troubling economic times, businesses are thinking of new ways to gain more customers that will increase their profits. One way that businesses have adopted is video marketing. Does video marketing sound like a business plan that you would like to use? Keep reading the article for video marketing advice.

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.

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.

Be confident during your video. Your customers are going to see you as an ambassador for the product which means you should exhibit full confidence in its capabilities and value. Practice your presentation a few times to make sure you are building the right experience and interest for your potential customers.

You have to grab people's attention right away if you want them to view your entire video. Your videos' first 10 seconds should be solid. The first few seconds need to engage and captivate your audience so that they will continue to watch the whole video.

There are several things to take into consideration after you have produced your videos. If no one knows about your videos, after all, what good will they do? Proper marketing efforts create a ten-fold increase in how many clicks you get. Good content is only useful it people know it exists.

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.

Grab the audience's attention early in your videos. The key to this is to "pull them in" within the first 10 seconds of a video. You need to do something within this time frame that will leave them in awe and wanting more. Once you have their attention, you must keep them engaged by having interesting and important information in the rest of the video.

Now that you know what to do to get your video marketing campaign off the ground, all you have to do is get to work! Use what you now know to turn your campaign into a great success. Be strong and persevere and you should find the success you've wished for rapidly.
