5 Video Marketing Tips | Live Training Too!

  Here’s 5 great video marketing tips to help get your content found  by the search engines.

If you haven’t yet incorporated video marketing into your overall marketing strategy, then you are missing a big piece of traffic and potential sales.

Here’s why.

YouTube is owned by Google and therefore they will rank their own content higher than any other content.

People join or do business with people they know like and trust and with the onset of internet marketing, there is no personal relationship being built.  By using video, people are able to identify with you.

So here’s my top 5 video marketing tips to help you get your content ranked by the search engines.

1)  Create a video with a specific topic in mind – you could create a video about frequent questions you get asked in your business, maybe some general tips (like this blog post), maybe a review of a product or service that you use and have had results with, or maybe just a general video about something that has happened that can then relate into your product or service.  Make sure you have a “theme” for your video and use a keyword that you want your video to be found by.  For example if I was to make a video out of this blog post, my keyword would be (and IS for this blogpost) “video marketing tips“, so i would make sure that I said that keyword somewhere at the beginning of the video.

2) Put a clear call to action at the end of the video – what is it that you want your viewer to do?  Do you want them to share or comment on your video or maybe subscribe to your channel?  If you’ve posted the YouTube link onto Facebook then do you want them to “like it and share it”?  Or maybe you want them to click a link underneath the video to go somewhere else?  If you don’t tell people what to do, then they will just leave and not do anything and you have lost a potential lead or sale.

3)  Make sure you include your keyword in the video title – preferably the first few words of the title and then include tags with your keyword and any associated keywords.  HOT TIP! Make sure you put your keywords in quotation marks so that Google sees them as phrases rather than individual words.

4)  Ensure that you have a link to something relevant underneath your video.  It could be to an affiliate page that the video relates to, back to your blog or website or even back to an “About Me” page or facebook profile.  You have 5,000 characters in the space below that you can use – so if you have a related article on your blog, then post a teaser from your blog to entice your view to click the link to read more.

5)  Now go and syndicate your video to get people to come and watch it.  Post a link to Twitter, facebook, Tribe-Pro, Google +, then submit to web 2.0 sites such as wordpress.com, blogger.com and LiveJournal.com and then of course email it to your list.

So I hope you have found these online video marketing tips useful, but I have something else for you too.
