10 Tops Tips For Effective Video Marketing For Your Business

10 Tops Tips For Effective Video Marketing For Your Business

Nearly all internet marketing professionals use video as one of the core methods for marketing their business. Video grabs people’s attention far more quickly and effectively than text, audio or photographs. Making a short video can capture a thousand words and pictures and helps to get across your personal brand and lifestyle.

Research your top keyword phrases and use these in your upload descriptions and titles. It’s important to stand out in the crowd on video channels and search engines. Aim your headlines at capturing the imagination regarding your topic. So don’t be dull – test out curiosity, shock or fun tactics for getting those download clicks.

These ten tips aim to help you create short, attractive, effective videos based on solid keywords that convert and that stand the test of time.

First of all, get set up.

When you’re starting out, it’s ok to just use your webcam. This is what I’ve used in this video for illustration. You can see it’s not great, but it does the job. It will give you the opportunity to practice while you’re honing your presentation skills before you fork out for a camcorder. When you’re ready, you can buy an inexpensive digital video recorder, like say the Flip and a tripod and you’ll be set up to rock and roll.

Make sure you take your videos in well-lit conditions. Inside your office you’ll need decent lighting, or you can whip out your camera when you’re out and about. It makes for a much more interesting back drop.

OK. So now let’s go through each of my TOP 10 TIPS for creating and using videos to market your business.

TIP 1: Keep your videos short

Whether you’re loading videos on YouTube or just putting them up on your website or blog, it’s really important to keep them short. Just 5 or 6 minutes is really all that’s needed. It’s just enough for introducing yourself to people that may not know you yet. In fact, YouTube.com will not accept videos over 10 minutes. I guess that’s a maximum for all kinds of reasons that make sense.

If needed, you can of course break longer topics up into a series of smaller videos, which you could market as a series – see tip 10.

TIP 2: Post videos on your sales pages

You can use video on your sales page to introduce the main benefits of your product or business opportunity. You might even put a very short video on your landing page or capture pages. It can help to orientate visitors and to highlight the main points of your regular, written sales letter. People often want to listen or watch an explanation rather than read a whole long story. And let’s face it, sales letter are becoming more and more alike these days, with everyone using what they think it ‘good sales copy’ to draw buyers in and provide proof and testimonials.

So you can use videos to introduce yourself and what you represent, to demonstrate your product or an explanation, and talk about how easy it is to get started and to get in touch with you personally. Often what we prefer is to hear it from the horse’s mouth.

TIP 3: Choose your keywords carefully

This is really important tip, because it will affect how your video gets picked up by the search engines and other internet ‘bots’ that seek out content. If you’re loading your videos onto YouTube then it’s really important that you allow people to find those videos. So if they are putting in words or phrases into a search box like google, yahoo, msn or on YouTube itself, you need to ensure your video shows up.

Pick keywords that will attract the right kind of traffic and leads – research like crazy to find out what your prospects are looking for – and then use a keyword tool to identify long tail keywords that you can really dominate. Make sure you headline and description includes your main keywords.

Getting this right is critical because it will help people again to find your video when they type in those keywords and over time will mean you get ranked higher. Doing this research and tracking click thrus (CTR) and conversions will help you secure your most cost-effective keywords and keyword phrases.

For example, if you pick a long tail keyword such as “find online marketing coach in uk” (use exact match or phrase match), there may not be many searches but when there are, you should find your video comes up high.

Once you find a set of keywords that are fit-for-purpose, make sure your video answers those questions, give visitors solutions to what they were searching for, make things crystal clear. (With the above example, you’d certainly want to introduce yourself as coming from the UK. Make a different video for any other countries you might want to target.)

TIP 4: Have a clear purpose & structure

Your keywords will help make sure you target your video on the right purpose before you start. Keep on topic and provide value – unique value if possible – and the videos will convert much better for you.

Write down a structure – a set of headings – for what you’re going to cover, so you don’t waffle on. Have a script if necessary (but be careful you don’t appear to be reading from it and not looking at the camera, see tip 5!) So be very clear what is the focus for each video and have a list in front you. It really does help you to stay on topic and to present things in a logical flow.

For example, if your video is on the topic of using video to market your business… don’t go too far off on a tangent and start talking about blogging or SEO. If there’s a link (see tip 9), make the point and move on. Those links will provide you ideas for other topics and you can mention in your video that you have another video specifically on that related topic. So in my video about making videos, I would mention about putting your video or a link to it on your blog, and then tell them about my other video on using blogs to market your business.

TIP 5: Look at the camera

The aim here is to connect with your audience, both in the topic you choose and the content but also in your communication style. Remember you are talking to people – real live people. What are their needs and wants, hopes and fears.

With regards to presentation, stick your list of headings right next to the camera. This way, you’ll stay looking in the camera at all times, rather than looking away at a screen on down at your notes. This gives you a far better connection with your audience.

A video made from the heart can come across as far more authentic than a skillful, broadcast-like production. So don’t worry if you’re not up to TV presenter standards. Just be yourself and enjoy the opportunity to reach out to people in a different way than using text copy.

TIP 6: Create a clear call to action

You should create one very clear offer and call to action. It’s very important that people know exactly what to do as a result of watching your video. What is your most wanted response (MWR)? Don’t confuse visitors with lots of options and different offers. Focus on the single most wanted response.

So it might be you want them to visit your website. You can provide your domain link. For example, your can add your web address (URL) as a title on your video, so that’s it’s showing throughout or comes up at the start or at the end. Make sure it’s there for sufficient time for people to write it down or put it in their browser.

Alternatively, you can put your video up next to a sign up box – linked to your email marketing – and you clearly ask them to opt in, more than once. Provide an incentive, such as a free report or further video coaching resources. And clearly say “just put your information in the box on the right… and you’ll get instant access to…”.

TIP 7: Encourage comments on your video

One of the best things about video is that it’s very personal, social medium. So the more you can link into other social activities, the more exposure you’ll get. So if you’re posting your video on YouTube or your blog, make sure you enable comments. Allow visitors to enter comments about your video, add their own tips or advice. The more people that are talking about your video and passing it on, the more buzz you’ll create. Visitors may return to your page to see who has commented since their last comment. There may accumulate a whole list of tips that have been created by your niche community, prompted by your initial video post.

TIP 8: Write articles, forum posts and blog & emails about your video

Write a short article (500 words – like this one) on the same topic as your video. Then create a short blog post that links to your article and/or video. Have a link on your blog to your video, send people watching on your video back to your blog or capture page.

If you have a list of existing contacts and subscribers, send them an email with information about your new video you just posted up. Ask them to pass it on to their contacts and lists. This can help with the viral process and get your video out beyond your own marketing circle of influence. You may have joint venture (JV) partners and could send them a personal email asking for some feedback on your video and if they’d like to make any joint offers or provide a free report. They may even blog about your video or send out an email to their list or include it in their regular newsletter or digest.

This relates to tip 8 in many ways. It’s about linking different marketing on a single, focused topic and ultimately setting up many different entry routes into your marketing or sales funnel, using the linkages and relationships you have already built up.

TIP 9: Make linkages with other content, social sites

Use the social sites to jump start the viral effect. One of the mistakes newbie marketing make is they spend a lot of time creating videos, or writing articles and blog posts, even twittering and don’t make enough linkages between these. Yet they often don’t unleash the true power of social marketing and they totally lose out on getting more leads out of their efforts.

Creating links between other marketing you’re doing helps with the viral effect, and you’ll get more leads than just the sum from the individual components – they work in synergy. So you need to link to and embed your video into social media sites, like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc. Integrate icons for sharing tools, like Digg, StumbleUpon etc to allow visitors to pass your link onto to their contacts.

Make those integrations really work and the momentum will really build up on your marketing activities.

TIP 10: Use time twice by re-purposing and repackaging your videos

Finally, following on from tips 8 & 9… put your videos on a DVD or CD and give it away for free in exchange for their contact details or other call to action (see tip 6). If you create 10 videos on different marketing topics, you would have a neat series of using internet strategies to market your business. For example, one video would be on using videos to market your business. A second might focus on using twitter, another on article marketing, using blogs, pay-per-click, and so on.

You can use your 10 video series in different ways. You can offer a ‘boot camp’ via email; subscribers receive an email explanation with a link to your video and/or full article each day or week. You could create a microcontinuity programme over 10 or more weeks; subscribers pay a monthly fee to get their package each week. You might simply create a webpage with links to the full set of videos on your opt-in thank you page.

How about creating a physical DVD product as a “free plus shipping” offer for subscribing members or as a ClickBank product for affiliates to market. You’d need to create or buy some attractive graphics. You could even include an upgrade for the set of associated articles you have written.

People like to get a physical product in the post. You can follow up subscribers whose addresses you have with postcard marketing, sendoutcards.com/jayd for a free gift account, and start bringing in offline methods to complement your online marketing.

To summarise… your video marketing checklist: Short – Focused – Clear offer – Complemented – Linked – Viral – Repurposed

Widen Your Ambitions as a Small Business with Powerful Article Marketing

Widen Your Ambitions as a Small Business with Powerful Article Marketing

I was reading over at About.com http://sbinfocanada.about.com/cs/startup/a/10startingtips.htm an article by Susan Ward on tips for starting a small business.  Of course, starting your own business is the American dream.  It’s a way to optimize time in your professional and personal life.  It also provides some measure of job stability.  When you own your own small business, you’re not expendable.  You’re not going to be fired or laid off because of downsizing.  If you want to make more money in a recession, you go out and you make money by coming up with markets and new projects. 

Some of the memorable points she brought out in starting a new business from scratch were:

* Do what you love
* Get clients or customers before you launch
* Write a business plan
* Research your market
* Be a professional from the get go

For me, I empathize with a lot of the smaller business owners out there who are approaching their market for the first time.  I know what it’s like to be in that position of total responsibility.  The business lives or dies with you, and all you ever will accomplish lies upon your shoulders.  It’s a challenge, it’s scary sometimes, but in the end, it’s a total thrill!

One of the most interesting points about starting a small business is that when you are starting out it really doesn’t matter what type of business you are running.  When you are ambitious and motivated to succeed, it doesn’t matter if you’re a car dealership, an insurance company, a therapist, a dentist or even a dry cleaner.

You already know the market and so you already know that the people need your business.  So it doesn’t matter how low on the ground you start.  You’re not thinking in the back of your mind that you’re just running a two-bit dry cleaning company and you’re just going to get by on chump change.  No, you’re thinking you’re going to succeed.  You’re going to expand.  You’re going to take this simple idea for a business and bring it to new heights.  In your mind as a business owner, there is no difference between your marketing enthusiasm and that of a large corporation.  Not if you are passionate about your field.

This is why I think that article marketing and small business work so well together.  You are a business that wants no limitations and wants the opportunity to expand at your own pace.  Article marketing can do just that for you.  Article marketing is everything that you want it to be.  It’s scalable, it’s adaptable to the fast-changing market.  It’s like having your own virtual marketing campaign at your disposal, but for less than you would pay a publicist or a marketing consultant.

Just think about some of the advantages of this avenue of advertising.

* You can advertise locally or nationally
* You can increase your web presence
* You can brand your company
* You can bolster website rankings and get tons of traffic
* You can become involved in social media marketing
* Most importantly, you can get targeted traffic to your site which more easily converts to paying customers

Another benefit to consider is that of establishing credentials in the field of your choice.  You can present yourself as an expert when distributing these SEO articles and get maximum coverage, since all of the articles that come up in a search will prominently feature your name and company.  This means that anytime your company or name is Googled, the Internet user will be directed to a long list of articles you wrote.  Furthermore, you also have the opportunity to associate your name and company with a popular keyword phrase.  This will help to establish your authority as a professional.

When you invest in article marketing, and by invest I mean work with an SEO company for a long-term relationship, then you have regular access to an earth-wide “targeted” group of customers to reach.  These are not just passersby attracted by flashing lights.  These are actual customers looking to buy a product or service that you are selling and they are being delivered straight to your doorstep—your doorstep of course being your website.

It certainly sounds like an opportunity that’s hard to pass up.  So when a high ranking fellow like Matt McGee over at Small Business SEM http://www.smallbusinesssem.com/making-the-case-for-seo-to-small-businesses/508/ admits that small business owners are usually reluctant to sign with SEO services, it makes you wonder.  Why don’t some of these business owners see what we see?  Matt explained it well when he said that the ones who turn us down really don’t understand the potential of Search Engine Optimization and article marketing.  Furthermore, they don’t quite “get” what they will receive in return for writing a check.

That’s the challenge of any B2B proposition—convincing the small business that they need your product, when they’re trying to do the same thing to their customers!  The answer I believe lies in educating the customer, in this case, the small business owner.  Instead of providing abstract concepts show him or her examples and scenarios that show the benefits of this technology.

Anyone can say to Mr. Pride down at the old mom and pop shop (just an example) that, “Hey, SEO is the way of the future.  You could bring in tons of traffic and sell more product by selling online.”  Unless he sees and comprehends those results though, he’s just not going to “get it.”  You’re basically talking a foreign language! 

This is why it’s important for the article marketer and SEO specialist to educate the small business owner on how precisely all this targeted traffic is going to help his business.  It’s the job of the professional to explain that targeted web traffic means his company will be seen by people using Google, Yahoo and MSN.  These articles will not only run nationally (which might not even be his market) but also locally, down to the city of the small business’ choice.

Show him the keywords that his business could use to reach new customers.  Analyze his competition and explain how the other companies are already getting into online sales.  Use facts, don’t hype it up or make assumptions.  Most of all, try and emphasize that article marketing is basically referral advertising x 50.  Small business owners like referrals; it’s safe to say that 50% or more of their business is built on referrals.  Explain the concept of social media, online “branding” as well as building credentials, and explain how all of this will translate into more referrals for his business. 

Online traffic doesn’t matter and that term might not mean anything to a small business owner.  Referrals on the other hand matter.  Article marketing really brings referral advertising to a whole new level.  Last but not least, the SEO company should use its own testimonials and references so that the small business owner can see how it has helped others make money. 

There’s plenty to be excited about in SEO and article marketing.  These are technologies that not only find small businesses new customers, and not only find them targeted traffic based on keyword usage, but also help to improve a website’s overall ranking.  This is what the name of the game is in Internet advertising.  Just consider some studies released by Laura A. Granka, Thorsten Joachims and Geri Gay of Cornell University in their report Eye-Tracking Analysis of User Behavior in WWW Search http://www.cs.cornell.edu/People/tj/publications/granka_etal_04a.pdf

The study clearly showed that the “mean time” users spent analyzing the top two ranked sites were almost equal.  The #1 ranked site was the most clicked link.  Furthermore, after the second link the “fixation time” dropped significantly.  There was also another substantial “dip” around results #6 and #7.  These trends indicated that once the user has started scrolling, rank becomes less of an influence for attention.

This should serve as definite proof to small businesses that article marketing and SEO investment is a worthwhile investment.  Reaching the top #10 search results for a popular keyword could bring your business new life and the chance for major expansion!

4 Email Marketing Strategies – Improve Your Sales or Traffic via Effective Email Marketing

4 Email Marketing Strategies – Improve Your Sales or Traffic via Effective Email Marketing

Email marketing is becoming extremely popular but this does not mean all business owners know how to run an effective email marketing campaign. However, those who are well versed in the subject of email marketing and have experiencing using popular strategies effectively are likely to gain a huge advantage over their competitors who do not have these skills. This article will provide useful information for business owners who are hoping to improve their sales or website traffic through effective email marketing. There are four strategies we will discuss here:

1. If you do not have a great deal of information about email marketing and do not deeply understand the principles involved one of the best ways to orchestrate a truly effective email marketing campaign is to hire a consulting firm with a proven track record in promoting business through email marketing to assist you in your endeavor. Similarly to traditional marketing using medias such as radio, television and print media, the popular strategies governing email marketing are changing constantly. As a business owner you likely already have enough to deal with trying to stay up to date on business practices that you do not have the time, energy or finances to also stay up to date on the latest changes in email marketing.

2. For this reason it is certainly worthwhile to hire a professional in the email marketing industry who can devote himself full time to keeping up to date with the most effective email marketing strategies and designing an email marketing campaign for our business to help you achieve your business related goals. However, selecting a consultant from the many options available can be downright overwhelming. In general you should look for a consultant who has a great deal of experience, a proven track record, listens to your questions carefully, explains concepts simply and makes your project a priority.

3. Another popular strategy for email marketing is to offer an email correspondence course on a subject closely related to your website or the products or services you offer. These correspondence courses should include a number of short segments, provide useful information, be of interest to your intended audience and should also help to promote your business in some way. The simplest way to promote your business without having your correspondence course deemed to be spam is to use a soft sell approach to subtly urge readers to make a purchase or visit your website for more information.

4. Publishing and distributing period e-newsletters is another example of an email marketing strategy which can be highly effective. An e-newsletter is very similar to a newsletter which is printed and distributed by conventional methods such as mail delivery. The bulk of an e-newsletter should be quality content in the form of featured articles, short articles containing useful tips or product reviews. The e-newsletter may also contain graphical elements. These elements may simply be graphic designs or they may be graphics which also serve as links. The links may direct traffic to your website or to other websites. Finally, your e-newsletters should contain some type of soft sell sales approach. It is important to not make the sales pitch blatant as this may result in the e-newsletter being considered spam. Finally, the e-newsletter should contain a call to action urging the readers to either make a purchase or visit your website for more information.

Regardless of the method of email marketing you opt to utilize, one of the most important strategies is to evaluate the effectiveness of your email marketing on a regular basis. This is critical because elements of your email marketing campaign which are not working should be weeded out. Likewise elements of your marketing campaign which are enjoying a high degree of success should be utilized more often. For example if you notice there is a spike in sales or website traffic each time you issue an e-newsletter, it might be worthwhile to begin issuing e-newsletters more often. This type of evaluation and feedback can turn a moderate success into a huge success.

Apart from SEO writing and link building services they now offer Social Media Optimization (SMO) and the Pay Per Click (PPC) management. The following are the two new techniques introduced by Dreamsubmitting.org to increase the number of people who visit your site and reign in e–commerce. The first is called Social Media Optimization or SMO. SMO targets at linking the website content with the social network sites like Facebook, Twitter, Hi5, Friendster, blogs and many more such sites, to bring in e–commerce and more monetary gains for the clients. Advertisements from different companies flash on the side panels of these social sites. Nearly every individual who is on any one or more of these social sites becomes the target audience for the company’s site and it increases the marketing avenues of the company. As the viewer-ship increases, so does the SEO ratings of the company. The second is called Pay Per Click service or PPC. This service ensures that your company only pays when a person actually clicks on your site for information. This service has a two fold advantage. Firstly, you get to keep a track of how many persons have visited your site for how much you spent and thus you can keep track of exact ROI. Secondly, you get listed in top immediately, if the bid amount is kept optimum and campaign is designed t get maximum clicks. SEO gets you in top after sometime, but you pay for visits and get listed in top as soon as the campaign starts. Both these techniques have been introduced by recently by Dreamsubmitting, with a new makeover (if you have not yet, visit dreamsubmitting.org and get a feel of the new look and improved services). Services provided by Dreamsubmitting.org also covers blog promotions, article writing and distribution and press release writing and distribution. They have a host of international SEO writers and marketing professionals with both the professional etiquette and skill to deliver the results in the most attractive way conceivable.
