How To Prepare for Success In Video Marketing
Video marketing is one of the best ways to market your business. When implemented properly, video marketing is a sure fire way to increase sales and profits. For video marketing to work, however, it must be properly implemented in an intelligent manner. This article contains all of the info you need to know in order to succeed at video marketing.

Google search stories are an excellent way to keep yourself off the camera while still creating video marketing which is effective. You search for your sites and show the world where they can be found, who is referencing them and what they contain, allowing people to find out what you're about.

Consider what others are wanting when they are searching for videos. Most people are looking for something entertaining as well as informative. If you are explaining how to do something, use inflections as you talk and give information that others may not know. It is also beneficial to show how to do something while talking.

People online today have short attention spans. The first 20 seconds are crucial. You should use an unusual perspective or hook to draw them in for the duration of the video.

Make sure all your videos are 20 minutes or less. If you're doing a product demonstration, you can use up to around twenty minutes of video length to demonstrate all the bells and whistles. However, if you are not doing a demonstration, keep the video to under ten minutes.

Do not avoid video marketing because you are shy. If it is hard for you to talk in front of a camera, do as many takes as you need and edit your video. Ask a friend or a colleague to help you by demonstrating products with you or interviewing you.

When you feel that you've run out of ideas, look around online to find inspiration. Youtube is an excellent place to start, but also http://vahangouts.tumblr.com/ with descriptive text so Google knows what the video is about. You don't have to provide a transcript, although that can be helpful as well, but you should give at least a short blurb about what the video discusses without giving away the juicy bits.

If you want to spend money on your video marketing campaign, you should pay to have your videos featured on sites your audience is likely to visit. Avoid services that will place your video in a pop up or place your video on an unrelated site. If you are not sure which websites your customers visit, have them answer surveys.

Combine your video marketing efforts with social marketing. After you post your video, announce it in your Facebook account and tweet about it on Twitter. This will drive your followers to view your video where they can give their immediate feedback on the video's effectiveness. This will also encourage them to share the video link with their social network.

Provide customers with a transcript on your site. When people go to your site, don't assume that they can view your video. They may not be able to hear sound, or they may be viewing your video at work. Therefore, make sure that you have a transcript available, so they can understand what your video is about.
