Almost Famous with YouTube

I love YouTube. Let me be very clear. jump on the YouTube band wagon. Go to YouTube and watch some of the more popular videos. Some of these videos get hundreds of thousands to millions of hits. If you are not using YouTube to promote your service or product, you are seriously missing out. YouTube is free and with a small investment in a video camera or web cam, you are ready to go. Just ask Kimbo Slice what video marketing and YouTube has done for his career. Here are some online video marketing strategies to take your business to the next level.

Go viral. You want people to pass your videos along through word of mouth and email. To do this, the video must be memorable and entertaining. You clearly want to ask everyone you know to pass your videos along.

Make your videos meaning clear and keep it short. Get to the point quickly. The videos should take less than 2 minutes. It is better to have a series of short videos than a few long ones.

Be your unassuming self. If you are funny be funny, If you are warm and passionate be warm and passionate. Don’t hold back on what makes you unique.

Include your website URL. Keep a small version of your web address on the bottom of the screen throughout. Also add a larger version of it at the very end.

Make sure that your viewers see themselves and not you. Your viewers are more concerned with their own success than with your credentials.

Capture your audiences attention as soon as possible you have less than 10 seconds to do this.

Show them don’t tell them. Give them a vivid emotional compelling reason to keep watching.
