Videos are by far the best method of getting your product or service the most attention. The question every video marketer asks is: How do I get my video to go viral? Many people say viral videos just happen. Yes, a video going viral can “just happen”, but usually the video has been helped along. Here are some tips you should consider employing to help market your videos successfully:
- Keep the videos short – 15 to 30 seconds. Video websites accept videos of 100 mb or less.
- Create a “Can’t Resist” Title – Make it Shocking. Something like “Elephant Paints a Picture”, gets people’s curiosity up.
- Embed the video in Social Media sites like MySpace and Facebook.
- Post the video on forums
- Post the video on related blogs
- Build a large following on Facebook and Twitter and share the video.
- Send the video out to a large e-mail list
- Do not make an obvious advertisement, make the video fun and entertaining.
- Create more than one YouTube Account and start a buzz in the video’s comment section.
With tens of thousands of videos posted to YouTube every day, you can use these strategies to get your video noticed.
