[F978]Future Of The Future
by Todd Ash, Tod
According to a BurstMedia survey, 7 out of 10 adult internet users viewed online video content and more than half of respondent's age 65 and older are watching online video clips. Marketing managers should embrace online video now or get left behind for good.

Who do you think would know best this stuff outside of those who actually posted some of those popular clips? Well, whoever has tabs and precise data on the whole video publishing situation, can tell a lot more than anyone single user, as looking at the forest rather than that at the individual trees can make a huge difference in building an effective video marketing strategy.

The truth is, the use of video for marketing till now, has been amateurish and many are downright boring. Marketers who can learn how to use videos the right way will have a great advantage over their competitors.

You already know that successfully marketed website videos will increase your sales and build your business up faster than any other marketing method.

Like the small report, try to keep your video brief and to the point. While people would rather watch than read, you still don't want to overload them. The point of a using a viral video (like reports) for your business is to give visitors useful information but just enough.

As an example let's say you join Technorati. You then make a video, tag it with the keyword phrase "funny online video" and upload it to your account. Now all individuals within the Technorati community will be able to access your video when they type in that particular keyword. This is very powerful. Tag viral and bookmarking social can put you in front of a large audience immediately.

Online video is one of the best venues to engage an audience - don't even think about excluding it! This new medium allows the video creator to communicate a message on multiple levels - via visual imagery, the spoken word, music and visual text. It may sound like a commercial for a Montessori school - but this is the way people learn, and consequently, the way legendary brands are created. As a case in point, think of traditional internet marketing; when was the last time that a paid search listing or banner ad raised your blood pressure or induced you to forward something to a friend?

The internet has in many ways leveled the playing field. Just stay alert to any new innovations and be ready to incorporate them into your internet web site marketing strategy. A smart viral marketing campaign can make any small business successful.

Video Marketing Success is to-the-point and easy to understand. There's no extraneous or irrelevant information. Only what you need to know to be successful as fast as possible.

Chances are, you or someone in your family has watched one of the 100 Million videos people viewed just today!

Think about that number for a minute. On YouTube alone, there will be over one hundred million videos watched today. That is over four hundred thousand videos an hour.

In 2006, http://Hitwise.com gave the following statistics on YouTube users.

Hitwise reported that 53.82% were male; 50.19% of these males were between the ages of 18-34. 29.58% has an income between $30,000 and $59,999, and 26.52% have an income between $60,000 and $99,999 respectively.

On a side note... Nielsen reported that 33% of
YouTubes users were over forty five.

If we only use Hitwise for statistical purposes, do any of these demographics resemble your target demographic?

Do you sell golf clubs, clothes, cars, video games, computers, timeshares, etc, etc? This demographic as a whole represents a huge amount of buying power - they are spenders.

The obvious question, how do you tap into this hungry market of buyers on YouTube and other video hosting sites?

Like the media of old is now doing today, you create media they are watching - online videos.

Most of the old school media outlets are now establishing a presence using video. You can now watch anything from Greys Anatomy to the Evening News online. Many of these media powerhouses have partnered with YouTube, Google Video and others to distribute their content.

Some of the YouTube partners include Reuters, BBC, SpikeTV, Capital Records, Warner Brothers Records to name just a few (and this is only on YouTube).

This is not a fad. Building brand awareness, selling products and marketing using video online will be common practice. It will only be a matter of time before it is mainstream and a required means of doing business.

In a few short years, you will be watching the YouTube Channel on your television. With your television remote - you will push a button and order the latest gizmo without leaving your chair or speaking with anyone (somewhat as you can do now with QVC).

The infrastructure for merging the television with web video is being put in place now. Make no mistake about it, it will happen.

Multi media is the future of the Internet, and the future is now.
