Video marketing is a big thing online. Whilst the majority aren't using it, the few who are earn well from it.
Most marketers aren't using video marketing purely because they don't know how to start making videos. As you get used to it, you will find it surprisingly straightforward to do.
You can get hordes of traffic if your videos go viral. The search engines are very much in love with with video at at the present moment. Most searches will usually return a number of videos in the top 5 rankings.
Creating the videos doesn't have to be difficult. You can create live action videos from anything, including your mobile phone.
With a tool such as Camstudio you can capture the screen and demonstrate a website. You'll find this type of video very effective because people can see what they are buying or what they need to do.
You can easily create promotional videos with Windows Movie Maker, which comes with most Windows XP and above computers or with a website such as Jing or Animoto. These websites create some great videos which you can use as adverts.
Your video needs to be concise, to the point and entertaining. You want to engage your viewers so that they want to know more.
You must know your tags prior to submitting your video. This means doing some keyword research. You can use any tool to do this, though many favor the Google External Keyword Tool.
You could manually submit your video to various video directories, but this takes a lot of time. You can use a tool to do it or outsource it for a price. Alternatively, you can use the TubeMogul website, which is free to use.
This submits your video articles to a handful of video directories automatically. When you have produced some videos and are established on their site you can increase the number of video directories.
Once the videos are approved (and some sites will turn them down) you can then sit back and watch your videos spread all over the Internet. Your video will be picked up by the many websites which get content from the video directories.
A Google Alert will show you how far your video gets distributed. So long as you have put your URL in the description and in the video itself, then you will get some traffic from this.
Video marketing is emerging as a very powerful way of generating traffic to your website. It is an underused strategy that you can use to improve your rankings in the search engines.
