If you want to film yourself talking about your products or demonstrating them, you should put together an outline for your video before you start. Make a list of all the points you feel are important and organize them logically so your video is easy to follow. Remember that you can edit your video to organize different points in a logical order too.

Why not take a video while at a trade show? Many experts visit trade shows and would love to expand their own customer base, and getting their name on your website is a great way to do that. Make sure to write down their information so you can spell their name right and link back to their site when you post the video - they'll appreciate that.

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.

Great audio and video equipment makes for a great video. If you use old crappy equipment, you'll get an effect you might not expect. That doesn't mean that effect isn't what you want, so play with the equipment you use until you get the video which matches the tone you wish it to have.

Try outlining the path of your video. Great videos make it clear early on what will be discussed during the video.

Start with an outline like you would an essay to explain to viewers early on what to expect during the rest of the video.

Whenever anyone asks a question in the comments on your videos, consider if you can answer them in another video. If you think about it, you can come up with a humorous answer which provides them with the information they seek along with a fun video if others would like to watch, all the better!

Make your video marketing campaign more interactive by asking your viewers to film themselves using your products or talking to their webcam. This could be a great way to get some reviews of your product or start a dialogue with your audience and get them to share their own stories with you.

Humor is a great tool for creating marketing videos. People do not want to see a bland and dull commercial. Funny commercials or even controversial ones are attention grabbers for consumers. Use your creativity and do not be afraid. A video that is filled with interesting or funny clips will help your video marketing campaign succeed.
