Online Video Marketing from A To Z…

Online Video Marketing is a very popular venue to broadcast all types of media into mainstream internet land.

Who is Watching Videos these days?

• People with a median income of about $75K
• 50% of folks who watch Youtube are married
• About 70% are College Educated

Why in the world should you learn video marketing?

• You can get a lot of free traffic very, very quickly.
• You can brand yourself very well using viral marketing videos.
• You have the ability to position yourself as the leader or expert that people are looking for.
• It can increase your conversions on your website
• You can laser target very specific keywords that your audience is searching for.

Video marketing has become very popular for several reasons. The first is, people prefer to see it rather than just read about it.  It gives people a chance to get to know you way quicker than via your facebook page.

How do you get started?

1. Pretty simple really.  I highly suggest getting The FLIP Camera. It can be used for video and it has software in which you can get the still shots from the video that you take.  Pretty snazzy. If you are technically challenged, no worries, it is very simple.
2. You can get as creative as you want with your videos. I say, the wilder the better.  People don’t like to watch boring videos so make them exciting with some facial expressions.  SMILE and RELAX.
3. Make Sure that you have excellent lighting so that people can actually see you in the video.
4. Backgrounds are important.  If your selling bikes, make sure your in your bike shop. If your selling real estate, how about showcasing one of your Mac Daddy Homes and do the video there.  You get the picture.  If your an extreme Surfer, like me, make sure you get your video with the surf in the background.

Topic Ideas for Your Video

For your first video, you probably want to introduce yourself to your audience and talk about your story and your business. If it’s just for leisure you can just tell your story. Here are several examples of what you can make a video about.

1. A “How To” Video on how to do something.
2. Make a video about a problem then talk about the solution.
3. A Lifestyle Video, if your in to that sort of thing..LOL
4. A video of you in an exotic location.
5. Videos of you doing fun, adventurous or exciting things with friends, family or just you.

An Outline for your soon to be “Viral Marketing Video”.

1. Introduce yourself to your audience
2. You want to relate to your audience or prospect.
3. You want to really identify the problem.
4. Now its time to share the solution.
5. The last part is very important. You want to get your viewer to take ACTION. Send them to your website, landing page or where ever you want them to go to get more information.

Remember, you want to be real and you want to be yourself.  You can get into a character, but make sure it’s realistic.

Dont worry about making your video perfect, just get it out there.  Your videos will improve with each one you make.

Now that you have the video made, upload it to Windows Movie Maker, Camtasia or if your on a Mac, it’s got some serious software on it.

Take your video and upload it to Traffic Geyser and it will blast out to over 60 sites.
