focus
Internet is full of information and most internet users have not
enough time to scan and read all, they will selectively choose the
one that most likely is what they are looking for and visit the
website. Hence your video clip should be short, about 2-3 minutes
and straight to the points to keep the internet surfers'
interest.

Scheme
Colour scheme, background, motion graphic and font are important
elements that can crease sense of both continuity and corporate
identity. You video clip should project a constent image of your
company, products or services.
3. Soundtrack is everything
Effective video clip that draw attention combines vision and sound
effects for a perfect synergy. Add in sound with narrators that
stress on keywords and graphics to delivery your marketing message
to your visitors. A good control of narrators with slogans and
buzzwords will help to increase the emotional feel on your visitors
and keep your visitors interest to your products/services.
4. Ensure Your Video Clips Are Internet
Friendly
If your video clip takes long time to load, you probably will lose
the interest of your visitors. Most video files are in AVI format
which normally have larger file size and will take long time to
load. Hence, you should convert it to a format that has small in
file size and a short long time; the common internet friendly
format is Flash format.
5. Get Your Video Clips Distributed On
Internet
If you website is new or have low PR, most probably internet
surfers won't find your website from the search engines. If you
just publish your video clip at your own website, it will not drive
any internet traffic to you. The more people watch your video
clips, the more traffic will be flow in to you website. Hence, get
your video clips distributed across the internet by submitting them
to as many video sharing sites as possible. Publishers, blogs and
other websites may download your video clips and republish them to
websites; you will get more exposure and redirect more internet
traffic to your website.
