Good Video Marketing Advice You Need To Hear

By Andersen Hanne


Marketing for a business is a little difficult because there are so many options. Video marketing is one of those things. This article will go over various tips and tricks that you can use with your video marketing campaign. Read over them carefully so you do not leave anything out!

Watching successful viral videos is the best way to get an idea of what makes a video popular. Stay up to date with new trends, check social networks and various sites your target audience loves and put together a list of characteristics you recognize in the viral videos you see.

YouTube is the most popular sharing site, and is worthwhile for its video editing features and analytics alone. You can, for instance, add annotations to your video. This is also a good way to add a link to another site to your video. It can also lead them somewhere where they get a discount.

Don't be overly complicated in your videos. If you use a lot of technical terms and industry specific language, you are going to bore your viewers. Make your videos for the layperson. If technical language is required, make a second video to offer a deeper insight into the topic for the more advanced viewer.

When making videos for marketing purposes, it is a good idea for you to talk to your audience honestly. If people get the idea that the only thing on your mind is making a profit, that will make them more likely to do business elsewhere. While there is nothing wrong with wanting to turn a profit, you must always think of your customers first.

When you create a video for marketing purposes keep it under 2 minutes. You want your target audience to watch the whole message, and if it is too long you will potentially lose audiences as they click off. You can always continue a thought or message in a follow up video if needed.

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.

Try outlining the path of your video. Great videos make it clear early on what will be discussed during the video. Just diving in your content will not help the viewers understand the benefits of watching it. Start with an outline like you would an essay to explain to viewers early on what to expect during the rest of the video.

A tripod can help your filming seem smoother. Shaky cameras are only for scary movies! For marketing purposes, however, stick with steady shots and smooth panning. A lot of people will only watch a couple moments of a video to see if it is interesting.

Always display your website URL in your video. Most video-editing software packages include the option of placing a text box inside your video. This is the perfect way to ensure that anyone who views your video will know where to learn more, even if they end up seeing your video on a site other than your own.

Now you should have a better idea as to how to use the different video marketing strategies to increase your profits. There was probably much more to video marketing than you thought right? Well, it's time to put your plan into action, and make those techniques work for you and your business.
