Video Marketing

I've been doing a lot of web designing lately, mainly on my wordpress site which is now complete. It has taken me a long time to finish that project mainly because there was so much learning to do. The site is not live yet but I am hoping that once I figure out my marketing strategy and how my site will be exposed on the net, I will put it live. On this note, I want to draw your attention to video marketing which is supposed to be the next big wave on the net.

From research I found that more and more people are watching videos online now (55% or more). So if you have a good video with lots of relevant content and a message to put accross, you are more likely to gain customers.   Having said that, let's see why and how video marketing can be really good for drawing traffic to your site and more.

First and foremost, in order to draw traffic to any site, you need good solid content and there is no shortcut to it.  You need to sit down and produce or write something that will either teach or give value to the person reading or watching in our case.  I'm not gonna go into any details on how to produce that sort of material here ( maybe in another post) but rather I'm going to concentrate on how you could generate traffic provided that you have a video.

So assuming you have that perfect video with a great message.  Your first job will be to upload it to Youtube (by far the most popular video site).  Then, you will need to let people know that your video exist.  If you let it sit there without promoting it then you will not get as much hit.

  •  So you then start bookmarking it to social sites like facebook, my space, twitter etc.  
  • Another way of letting people know that your video exist is to join forums or even blogs related to your niche.  Try to leave comments ( say something useful) and leave you signature i.e your url link of your video.
  •  set up a feed using feedburner.
  • Why restrict to just Youtube, upload your video to other video sites like metacafe, vimeo etc.
If you put the above into context, it would take you hours to complete the tasks.  Not something you want as time is so valuable.  So when I went ahead a looked for any services out there that could do the job for me.  I came across 3 services that may interest you; Tubemogul, traffic geyser and hey spread. 
Tubemogul is free but their service is limited to fewer video sites and social bookmarking sites.  They also don't allow commercial videos to be uploaded.  I tried to upload one of my video and they suspended my account.  What a bummer !!!!!
Hey spread was free up to now but started to charge 5 cent for every videos uploaded.  They offer good analytics tools to track how well you videos are doing etc...
Traffic geyser is the one I would recommend because it's feature rich.  Take a look at the site and what they have on offer.
