Viral marketing can ensure that your business is getting more coverage and more information out to your future clients. Video marketing can increase your ranking on search engines, which means more people are viewing your web site and your new viral marketing videos. With the viral marketing trend increasing each day, more and more businesses are finding that video marketing can improve the density to which your web site receives views and can increase your business potential.
Advertising and marketing through conventional means can get expensive and advertisement search engines do not always grab the attention of customers. However, video marketing can ensure that your business is receiving the widest range of customers and search engines.
With so many web sites utilizing the video craze sweeping the Internet, it seems only natural that your advertising plan includes viral marketing. But not including video into you marketing, there are millions of customers that you are missing out on each and every day.
Including videos on your web site does not mean you have to be an award winning director or need to know how to edit video to stream on your site. You do not need even need to pick up a camera to do viral marketing if you don't want to! Outsourcing your viral marketing can not only save you money but it can make you money as well, by making your web site more attractive to both the search engines and to future customers.
Businesses can customize their video to showcase their business services and plans to customers. A video means that your future clients can have tangible evidence to the actual services, producing more trust and confidence in your business.
Most customers need a visual and testimonials on the business to feel comfortable, and a video on your web site can help build that rapport. Customizing your web site with viral video means you will need an effective web site follow up program, and having a web site designed to support your video can do just that.
Customizing your video to your web site can help your business be successful beyond your wildest notions. Going viral means your business can effectively get the viewing and audience you've been seeking. Having your video on several major video search engines, such as YouTube and Google Video, on major forums and blog spots means that you are gaining more exposure with each click of the mouse.
These days there is so much going on with video on the internet. I can remember back in my early days on the net when we had to limit a video clip to ten seconds or so and a tiny little frame (160x120) because anything more would take forever to download on a dial up connection. I used to go to the Real Networks convention every year to find out what the latest codec was for making video better for streaming. (I don't even know if they even do that anymore, seems they are more in the music biz these days)
It all seems sort of funny now, spending all those hours editing and encoding tiny little ten second clips of some video for the web. Now days anyone can load any amount of video up to the web for viewing by everyone and it does not even have to cost you anything. Internet video has come of age and then some.
One of my early web sites ended up costing us more money than planned just because we filled up the company server with so much video that they had to buy more servers which were expensive in those days. NOW you don't even have to host the video yourself or pay anything for it. With all of the video sharing sites in the market you can serve your video up in many different places (think links, think social).
It really is quite amazing when you think about it.
Now to the point. You must use video in your business. It is essential these days. It works.
AND it is easy to do and cheap to produce. Trust me here. No longer do you need to be from Hollywood to do video for the web. Now to avoid it being pure garbage you should spend at least a little time in the planning and execution of the video but never the less you can get video that promotes your business on the web very easily.
The easiest thing to do is to take your product and do what we call a screen capture recording with a voice over. Basically you walk the customer through a tour of your product while capturing the screen on video. There are a variety of tolls to do this with ranging from the free to ones that cost $250. Camtasia at $250 is at the high end but man does it rock in terms of options, ease of use and quality output. On the other end is CamStudio (camstudiodotorg) which is free and can do the basic recording.
Now for video recordings other than screen capture you can use your cell phone if it can record video, a camcorder with USB or Firewire connections to make simple live recordings of you talking about your product. Customers like to see and hear you. It helps in their buying process. Trust me on this one.
