3 Video Marketing Tips For Your Internet Business

By Bob Steele


One of the most popular methods of promotion online right now is video marketing because it has been proven to help marketers get targeted traffic. The following are some hints you can use to improve the quality of your marketing videos.

Remember your goals when you are creating your video marketing campaigns. The ultimate plan for your video is to get those viewers to your site. You are only producing videos as a method of drive your marketing plans. This is why adding a wonderful call to action in your videos is extremely vital. Don't assume that people will automatically know what your message is and visit your website. No they can't automatically grasp your message; you must provide exact meanings in your call to action. For example, if you want your visitors to go to your website and subscribe to your newsletter, then express this. Add your call to action all over your video, but be certain to put it on the end of your video so that your viewers will really remember your message. A great way to do this is to extend your video so that your viewers will have time to get your site's name and visit it. Also, there are marketing tools that you can employ to add links in your videos and put forms in your video for subscriptions. Yes, if you use these kinds of marketing tools, you can possibly improve your video's conversion rate. So, if you can afford this type of tool, you should use it and benefit from a wonderful investment. However, if you want to use the traditional method, then just add your call to action to your video. Don't forget that you should test multiple call to action messages because you can't really determine which ones will convert better than the others.

A perfect video takes more than just making it; you also have to edit the video too. This will help you make many positive changes like adding links, call to action and cutting down on the length of the video. Your second or third draft after editing it will make the video look and sound more professional. A wonderful method for doing this involves producing your video first and then letting it sit for a few hours. Go back to finish your video in a few hours and you will be able to see the things that you should have left out in the original version. This is just another method for ensuring that you have a quality video with a wonderful call to action. Your last efforts will help your campaign get great returns, so don't ignore the editing part.

Last but certainly not least, don't forget that when you are creating a marketing video it should be viewed as a one on one conversation with the viewer. In this respect it is just like a sales letter: you're talking to an individual, not a group. Put emphasis on "you" and remember to look into the camera during filming. This just shows the viewer that you have enough confidence in your product.

Yes, the thumbnail grabs their attention. That's right; the kind of thumbnail you use may make or break your video's response. This happens because most people will click through on a video that has an appealing thumbnail picture. But this should not mean that you trick them by using an inappropriate thumbnail that is misleading. Your aim here is to give them the exact message and at the same time get them curious about the video. Video marketing has worked for many marketers, and it will work for you too, as long as you take consistent action.
