START USING VIDEO MARKETING TO INCREASE PROFITS IN 2009

Here’s an area where I am weak, using video to market. I’ve tried to create screenshot type videos, the kind created with Camtasia, but I’m just not any good at it. So I’m having a hard time implementing this tip in my own marketing efforts. But, just because I’m not good at it and don’t really like doing it, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be doing it.

So, if you haven’t gotten into video marketing yet, this is SERIOUSLY the time to do so. This is something else that can also be outsourced (which is probably what I’ll end up doing) or you can take the time to learn how it’s done and do it yourself. YouTube.com is owned by Google and videos are indexed by Google very quickly for specific keyword(s), therefore a single video can generate a lot of traffic for your website.

If you’re thinking there’s NO way you can get involved in video marketing, because you just don’t have the skills, equipment, or money — that’s simply NOT TRUE! If you’ve ever filmed a friend or family member with a digital video camera, you can use video to help market your business.

Basically, all you do is use a simple digital camera that has video capabilities. If you don’t have one then borrow one from a friend (I’m sure someone you know has one!). You can even ask them to help and get them involved.

All you have to do is talk for a few minutes about whatever niche market you’re in. You can give away tips, advice, or do a product review for a product you’re promoting. You can also do an instructional video teaching a technique or skill used in your niche.

Be sure to put the KEYWORD you’re targeting in the TITLE of the video. This is the best way to get your video listed in the search engines (Google) fast with highest ranking.  You can also input keywords in the ‘tags’ section of your video.

Then you just set-up a FREE account with YouTube and submit your video. It’s very easy and FREE to post as many videos as you like! This is a very powerful marketing tool right at your fingertips and it’s free.

Additionally, once you post a video to YouTube, you will not only start receiving traffic to your video from YouTube surfers, but also from Google searchers. In turn, many of your video’s viewer will go to your website.

Lastly, you can also place the video on your website. YouTube gives you the embedded HTML code for you to simply ‘copy and paste’ into your website and/or blog. This gives your website the power of video — without costing you a dime! You are surely leaving money on the table if you do not get involved with video marketing over this next year.

Keep your eyes open for video here at Internet Marketing Boomer, I’m definitely going to start using it soon.

    actually i know some one has a web site and he makes videos and upload it on u tube and now as he says he gets 25% of his income just from the u tube web site .. i think making videos is more better than writing articles .. cause the people have a reaction when they watch some one ( a human ) talks to them ..

    I am seeing a lot of product related videos on youtube, most don’t convert very well or get very little views. While videos can rank well for less competitive keywords, some of the niche related keywords gets very little search volume. But I guess that’s just my excuse for not trying out video marketing, I will have to do a bit more due diligence on it.
