Turn Video Marketing Into Your Next Success Story

By Valentino Crawford


When you want to better your business, start with video marketing. It is a great way to get the word out about what you offer. This article will give you some tips and tricks to help you be successful with your video marketing.

To help make your videos go viral, offer great content. You do not have to have the best video camera in order to be seen by millions. People are happy to watch something if it contains information which is relevant and important to their lives. It is still a good idea, however, to buy a good camera if you can afford one.

Keep your videos relatively short: no more than 10 or 20 minutes. If you are demonstrating a certain product, feel free to use up to twenty minutes so you can show all its features. If you are just talking directly with your clients, stay under 10 minutes.

Do not spend a lot of money on video production for marketing content. There is more to a video than production value. Industry leaders have actually done quite well by using basic how-to content made by in-house employees.

You have a limited amount of time to capture the attention of your viewers. The initial 15 seconds are the make or break period. You should use an unusual perspective or hook to draw them in for the duration of the video.

Don't take your eye off the ball when you're shooting your video. When you don't prepare it is easy to chase rabbits. Try creating an outline of how the video is going to go, and stick with it if you find yourself getting distracted. Stick to the topic and it will turn out great.

Whenever posting videos to YouTube, understand that you'll probably have to moderate some of the comments you receive. Many viewers use other viewers' comments to create their own opinions, and that can lead to negative or spammy comments that can destroy your campaign. If you can't moderate the comments, you should disable them.

When you go to any public event, such as trade shows or conventions, take a camera with you. Opportunities to interview niche experts will present themselves. Plus, viewers may find footage of the event interesting. If you are offering a speech, always have it recorded.

Don't ignore video content analytics. Use this to track views and your audience traffic patterns. You can use this information to your advantage to promote your business to new outlets.

If you hate creating and being in a video, then hire someone to do this for you. Create some kind of contest where the person who makes the best video gets a prize. People will want to want to get their video out there!

Now that you have mastered the basics of video marketing, it is time to start coming up with your own videos. Don't stop here, however. There's so much to learn! As you learn, your videos and campaigns will improve.
