The ClubShop Spot

Okay, so to be fair, this video is really cheesy, but it still got ten hits on it's first day, just by posting it to YouTube. It gets more even more hits by posting it to other video friendly sites, such as MetaCafe, MySpace, and Facebook. Video is great marketing content because it's easy to get traffic to it, and you can use the video to refer back to your website, thus getting traffic to your website as well. You also don't have to worry about posting duplicate content. It's okay to post duplicate videos.

How to Make Videos:

Let's talk about some ways to make videos.

First is a storyboard type video like above. I use MicroSoft PhotoStory 3, which is a free program (as long as you have Windows) that allowed me to line up a bunch of clip art, add text, a few special effects, and sound. It will also let me add voice, but I didn't have a mic at the time I was making the video. This took me about an hour.

Another type of video is to film yourself or someone you know talking about your product or business opportunity. Show your product in action, or the results of your product, and you will have an instant consumer base. All you need is a digital camcorder, or even just a webcam.

A third type of video is an instructional video where you are teaching a special type of skill that people will want to know, such as how to make great internet videos. Again, this can be with your face as the main character, or you can do it PowerPoint style. Either way, if people want to know what you have to teach, your video will get traffic.

Why use video marketing?

Statistics show that people LOVE videos. They will watch videos about anything and everything. Seriously, go to YouTube and type in something absurd like "super gorillaz" and you will probably get something for it. People love content with videos. So by adding your videos to video sites like YouTube and MetaCafe, you are getting instant traffic.

Also by adding video content to your Facebooks, Myspace, Squidoo, Hubpages, and any other site you use for marketing, you are making it more interesting, and more sticky, and more likely that someone will read your stuff. For this, you don't even need to add your own videos.

Video content makes things more personal to your traffic. They get to know you a little better, and that's always good when you are trying to sell something.

Video content is favored by search engines. Your site is more likely to end up on top if it has video content.
