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.



People’s budgets are stretched thin, some to the breaking point.
Viral Marketing in a nutshell is simply word-of-mouth marketing.
