Using Viral Videos To Market Your Business

By Reck Erich


Video marketing is a highly effective tool that all smart business owners are utilizing to dramatically increase sales and boost profits. In order for video marketing to work it must be properly implemented. This article is chock full of several video marketing tips that will help to improve your business.

Ask your customers to create their own videos. You could for instance organize a contest and ask customers to film themselves while they use your products. Reward the best videos with an interesting prize and use the submitted videos as promotional material for your social media marketing campaign and for your website.

If you creative lightning strikes and you get a great idea for a video, film it as soon as you can if you have the equipment to do so. Granted, getting either professional equipment or personnel might seem like the best route to take, but such arrangements can take time. Capture the energy and essence of an idea while it is fresh. Even an amateur video with authenticity can outshine something expertly polished.

Do not assume that the salespeople at you company are the ones that will look best in front of the camera. Find the person in the office that has the best smile and have them be the face of the company. Nobody has to know that your company spokesperson is janitor or secretary.

Great content is critical if you want a video to go viral. You can spend thousands of dollars on fancy equipment and the latest technology, but it will all be for naught unless you use it to create interesting and exciting content. If the video has valuable information, people will watch it no matter what the production quality is. Knowing this, buy the best camera that is reasonable for your budget.

The more videos that you make, the more viewers you will get. Just because one video does badly, doesn't mean that they all will. Also by making videos on a regular basis, it will keep viewers interested and they will keep coming back to see what new content you have to offer.

Realize that making your marketing video is just the first part of your video marketing strategy. You need to promote them too. By promoting your videos, you can expect an increase in clickthroughs. Good content is only useful it people know it exists.

Don't forget your SEO as you create your video! Include key words and phrases in the title and video. You can even use your website's keywords in the name you use on YouTube to further your SEO. You should also create a video sitemap for your site which Google can crawl.

When you're posting videos using WordPress, check out video sitemap extensions which allow you to easily add the new video to your current video sitemap. Without such a sitemap, Google won't index your videos and therefore viewers who are searching for them will never be lucky enough to find them.

Product reviews help visitors learn about different products. This type of video is the least used video marketing tool. Do not only concentrate on your products, but also include reviews about products that complement your products. For example, if your business specializes in shampoo, do several product reviews on hair styling products.

With it all laid out on the table, you should be able to create videos in no time at all. Within just a few days, you can be attracting customers from all over the world. Video marketing is able to connect with customers everywhere.
