quickmon9 — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:52:15 +0000

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.

Promoting Your Videos

Promoting Your Videos

Adding videos to your website is important for today’s Internet marketing. Your customers will give your website more importance with the addition of video tutorials, product descriptions and/or general information. Once you create your videos and place them on your website, be sure to share your videos. Here’s how:

Sharing Your Videos

The key to success of any online marketing video is “submitting” to video search engines. The best choices are video hosting sites like YouTube , Yahoo! Videos, or Google Videos. Your videos will be hosted for free and they will not take up any of your website’s bandwidth.
Share your videos. If you really want to make yourself known, allow users to link to your videos. Viral marketing videos are the best way to make companies and their products and services known across vast Internet user communities. They carry a company’s name across the Web at greater speeds than any other marketing tool in existence.
Add social media buttons such as “Tell a friend” along with a Link to your website at the end of your videos.

Investing time and effort in one or more videos is a good start. Remember, continue to create content as well. Content is still an important part of your business. Visitors are looking for a variety of information. Remember, marketing videos are meant to promote your business, to inspire Web surfers to visit your site and create sales.

With today’s technology, you can track traffic and analyze the results of your video marketing. Take the time necessary to fully understand where your market is coming from. Your efforts will be rewarded in the end.

There are tools available to measure the impact your videos have had on prospects and to measure their performance. Search for tools that can tell you how much of your video was played before the visitor closed it; how many prospects actually decided to go to your website after watching your video; and how many of these visits converted into sales.

Video Marketing Tips

Video Marketing is an important tool in Internet Marketing today. The video you make can bring you loads of new prospects to your website and your business. The following Video Marketing Tips will help you get on the road to good video marketing results.

Video Marketing Tips

Put videos on the first page of your website. It’s like handing out your business card. The first page recommends you, and that first impression counts. Make it visible. Most videos have a pause button, if yours doesn’t, make sure to give your site visitors the opportunity to skip your video. They may not be in the mood for watching it, and the last thing you want is an annoyed visitor.

Videos provide information for search engines, so take some time and prepare your videos correctly.

How to Optimize Videos for Search Engines

Optimize not only for video search engines, but also for content search engines. A good approach would be to use meta tags for the content or text of the page where your video is placed.
Give relevant names to your videos. Your video will show up in the SERPs if it is called “marketing-demo.mov” rather than “2010.mov”.
Use keywords in the video titles and their descriptions. Video search engines will find it much easier to index your video files and link it to your web pages.
Use anchor text to link to the video from other pages of your website.
Make sure the video files have the proper extension.
Make it short and simple. Say in 2 minutes what would take a normal person 10 minutes to read on paper or on a webpage.
Create separate video sitemaps, which can be submitted to video and content search engines alike. Both kinds of Search Engines will index these sitemaps.
Remember to include RSS feeds. Metadata can be inserted here.
Finally, check your videos performance.

Desktop Sharing saves you money – Health Videos

quickmon9 — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 00:14:15 +0000

What Is Desktop Sharing?..

It is basically a way for you to share what you are doing on your desktop with other people, why is this important? Think of it as if you needed to arrange a quick meeting, but are unable to get everyone together in the same room, that’s where desktop sharing comes in so handy.

If you can just have everyone sit in front of their computers from home, and be able to see your presentation, or lesson, or anything you need to share as it happens live on your screen, that would save you a lot of stress wouldn’t it?

I use live Health Videos from my desktop every single day to keep people up-to-date on all the ins and outs of our business. I even use it to share fun things with remote family members too.

You have probably heard all the talk about live webinars, conferences, seminars, it seems you no longer need to leave the house anymore to conduct all sorts of meetings online. And this can only be a good thing!

The reason why I, and so many other professionals use these methods are because they are just so cost effective, and have so many options open to you that make running a business/company so much more easier than ever before.

Saving Money, And Making Opportunities Available To You

If you can save money, and at the same time make your business even more accessible to your customers and employees, then you have done a great job.

Think of the opportunities that being able to use desktop sharing can do for you, you can give online Health Videos tutorials to anyone, anywhere in the world.

As I said before, business meetings, seminars, meet-ups, groups, anything you can think of can be used with the products available to you, you’re going to be able to save money, and make money too, the opportunity is your’s.

So to get your business right in front of the people it needs to meet, why not consider desktop sharing as your next move in the right direction!

How to Get to Page 1 in Google

quickmon9 — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:08:22 +0000

People using search engines typically look at just the top 10 search results on the 1st page. Knowing how to get your website to Page 1 in Google and other search engines is extremely important for your website’s success.

First, you need to get to the 1st page; Then, the top 3 on the first page to be truly successful in Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Once there, your website has the best chance of being clicked on, hence more traffic for your site, more business and potentially more money in your pocket.

What are the Secrets to Page 1 in Google?

Selecting Keywords and Keyword Phrases you can dominate
Increase Link Popularity, get more backlinks
Promote, Promote, Promote

Picking the right Keywords. Google will give you everything you need for free to help you find the keywords you can dominate. Type in your chosen keywords into Google’s address bar, see how many competing pages there are. Then type in the same keywords enclosing them in quotation marks. This will tell you how many competing pages there are for your exact keywords. If this shows more than 50,000 – try a different combination.
Get more backlinks. The more inbound links your website has the better your site will do with the search engines. Backlinks are one of the major factors used by search engines to rank websites. This can be a slow process. There are other ways to Get Backlinks.
Promote, Promote, Promote – write articles, press releases, do tele-seminars, use social media, do it all.

Ecommerce is a tough business. To succeed you need the right tools to make your Internet site a cut above the rest. Once you have a good website optimized with the correct keywords, then get your backlinks and promotions going. Every day, more and more Internet entrepreneurs are clambering to optimize their website rankings, so if you are not on top of the game, you will just get trampled on and left behind like so many failed ecommerce sites.

Search engines are the most widely used Internet tool to find websites. If your website is getting one hundred hits or more a day, you have a better sales potential. If you get only 10 to 20 hits a day, you may only get one or two sales, if any at all.

Is Paying Per Click a Better Way to Market Online?

quickmon9 — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:35:59 +0000

First time Internet marketers look for ways to save money and get the most out of their marketing efforts. The question: Is Paying Per Click a Better Way to Market Online? In certain situations, the answer is yes.

Article marketing is an excellent to get your message out and create backlinks to your website, especially in the beginning. However, there comes a time, when you may be too busy to write the number of articles you need to maintain the momentum. One answer is to outsource your article writing, another choice is starting a Pay Per Click Campaign. Starting your pay per click campaign must be done at the right time to get the most benefit.

When we first opened our business, we wanted to get immediate traffic, so we started a Google AdWords Campaign. The first day the ads hit, we were so excited – our website jumped to the first page of Google in our industry and the phone started to ring. By day 3, we received an email from Google telling us that our website was not relevant and as a result they would not be posting as many ads.

NOT RELEVANT!!!!!!!!! There was only one hostel in St. Augustine, Florida, and we just opened the second one. The website was all about the hostel, the attractions in St. Augustine and some history of our nation’s oldest city. How in the world could Google decide we were not relevant? The city needed some inexpensive lodging. All the hotels in the historic district, including the other hostel, charged 2 to 3 times what we were charging. Their decision made no sense.

I started researching how Google and other search engines make their decision and realized, Websites Must be Recognized by the Internet Community as Relevant. This mainly happens through backlinks. Determined to show Google who’s relevant, I started placing free classified ads, writing articles, doing press releases and generally creating backlinks organically (free). Within 5 months, our website was back on the first page of Google and within 6 months was in the top 3 on the first page, many times number 1. Plus, we have added video marketing to the mix. Take a look at the website, The St. Augustine Hostel

The moral of the story. At this point, Google lost revenue we initially were willing to pay for. So they lose, we still win. However, if we were not able to keep up the momentum, I know Google would no longer see our website as “Not Relevant”, and the pay per click campaign would go forward.

Getting organic traffic and backlinks is the best way to generate website traffic. Once you have your momentum going, a pay per click campaign can keep it going.

Viral Marketing has the Internet all a buzz in recent years because it has been proven to be a cost effective way to generate massive traffic.

So what is Viral Marketing? Viral Marketing in a nutshell is simply word-of-mouth marketing.

An extreme example of Viral Marketing was Susan Boyle’s debut on “Britains Got Talent”. When she first walked onto the stage, everyone snickered and laughed at her, then she opened her mouth and sang. In seconds the audience was clapping and rising to their feet in utter amazement. No one expected this matronly, middle aged women would have been able to sing so well. Within 24 hours the video of her performance was on YouTube and had been viewed over 2 Million times. News stations around the world were singing her praises. Less than a year later, that same YouTube Video has been seen almost 86 million times and Susan Boyle is an International super star.

So what can we learn about Viral Marketing from Susan Boyle?

Create videos for your website
Do teleseminars
Interview specialists in your niche market online

and most importantly…..

Get the word out through Social Marketing via YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Digg, Squidoo and others.

The Internet world is much like the real world. We believe, or at least are interested in, what is passed by word of mouth. Perhaps it’s our curious nature. Whatever it is, Viral Marketing works and should be a part of your marketing plan.

There is nothing more rewarding for a website owner than to see their online business explode, gain faithful followers and make money.
