Secret To Online Success When most people begin any kind of business they seem to have a lot of expectations. They think the money will come rolling the moment they place their adds, get a webpage, or spend on advertising and a promotion campaign, etc. If you have a business you pretty much can tell that that is not necessarily the case. However, this particular article I am going to dedicate it to Internet business. I figure, you are online reading this article right now, maybe you may want to learn a little bit more about how to sell your products or services online. By the way, don't think because you are a construction worker for example, that the internet could not be of use to you. You get a little creative and you'll be surprise with the ideas that can come about that could help you generate income online. But let's continue with the article shall we? I am not going to deny the fact that a lot of profit can be generated in short periods of time. It has happened in the past and will keep happening in the future. There is an old saying, "There's nothing more powerful than an idea who's time has come!" In other words, you can have a very lucrative idea, but the market is not ready for it, therefore you may end up loosing your investment just to find out months later that that very same idea becomes a huge success for someone else. Basically, being at the right place at the right time certainly helps. And you will ALWAYS be at the right place and the right time if you listen to your heart. To the guiding Spirit within. Then off course, there is the other side of the coin. Having a great idea, being at the right place at the right time, but not being able to capitalize on it. Well, this is what this article is going to address. We are going to explore the reasons why people buy! And I am going to dissect each topic briefly so you can have a much deeper understanding as to how all of the following pieces of the puzzle fit together. First, I am going to address the importance of the word VALUE. When you have something to offer where there is an open market for it, and more than likely there is a demand for your product, your efforts revolve around advertising. If what you are advertising is being offered by other businesses, then you have what is called competition. That being the case, you have to be able to create an urgency for people to buy from you, otherwise you could loose your potential customers to your competition, not because their's are necessarily better. But because of the fact that not everyone buys on the first visit. Sometimes customers need a little bit of time before they make a decision. So if you already exposed them to what you have to offer and later on they see the same product on someone else's site, they may be ready at that moment to purchase. They may end up ordering from someone else that product or service which you took the time to educate them on the first place. Since internet surfers are what it's called impulse buyers, you got to be prepared so that when a potential customer visits your site, she/he is ready to make the decision at that moment! If you are advertising a video tape that teaches people how to market products online, you need to figure out ways to increase the "VALUE" of what you have to offer. You need to answer questions such as; * Why is your video better than the rest? * What is in your video that you feel would make someone say, "I want this!" * What are they gaining from ordering? Since the beginning of time, marketing is all about figuring out ways to sell people on the idea that if they acquire whatever is you have to offer, they will "gain" something from it. If you have been subscribed to few newsletters and have read marketing articles, they summarize what I have just said in one word. BENEFITS. If from the very beginning you can point out what is it that your visitors will gain from your product or services, you increase dramatically the value of your product. This is not the only way to add value to your product. But this is the best way to establish rapport and generate interest. So you must always begin by letting them know how your product or service is going to make them feel, or improve their life, or help them win, etc. Once you have been able to add value to your product or service, honesty, integrity and credibility play a very important role. Maybe right at the moment of purchase, depending on how much your asking price is, they may wonder, "how do I know this person knows what she's talking about?" So how do you add integrity? If you are an expert on something, can you tell me about your experience? Do you walk your talk? Does your site reflects what you talk about? For example, don't go telling me how using frames and JAVA language can work against search engine placements and how bad they are for me, meanwhile, your site uses both, JAVA and frames. To me it means one of two things, you don't know what you are talking about and therefore just passing along what others have told you, or there is something you know that you are not telling me. Does that mean that if you do not have a great resume people wont buy from you? Absolutely NOT! Your resume could be your website. Here is what I mean, if someone visits your site and you don't have a degree as a nutritionist, but your site is filled with very convincing articles and valuable information that shows that you know what you are talking about, that is enough to add credibility. Let me take it one step further, if you create a very powerful sales letter, you can have your visitor so engaged in the information that she/he wont even bother to figure who you are, or what you do. However, to pull that off, you must offer a product that has great value, and if possible, a money back guaranteed! All you need to do is to come from a place of honesty and service, and as long as you can show credible ways in which your product will benefit your market, you should be able to sell your product(s) and/or service(s) online. So you have something of value and you have been able to gain credibility. What can you do to add more substance to your product or service? Let's say you are giving a speech and want to quote an article regarding your subject matter which you have written on a piece of paper, if you hold the paper and read the words from it, it holds more credibility than if you were merely saying the words. Why that is? I don't know. But that is just one of those interesting mysteries we come across every once in awhile. So by having someone saying something positive about your product or service, it helps add credibility which in turn helps also increase the value of what you are offering. What we have done so far is, we have strategically created leverage. We have given a solid foundation as to why people not only should, but must obtain whatever it is you are offering. Assuming that you are placing all these strategies in the RIGHT ORDER, positive results should be way within your reach. So what makes people buy is: * Value-Benefits (What am I gaining from this.) * Value-Honesty (How do I know this is true.) * Value-Endorsements (What others have to say about this.) Notice that I used the word "value" along with every example because value is what people consider before obtaining anything. Benefits, honesty and integrity as well as endorsements, even when each play a role in itself, they all have once thing in common. They "add value" to your product.

Social Commerce Network Social networking sites such as YouTube™, FaceBook™, and MySpace™ have not only been a boon to makers of funny videos - they have become a tool for savvy online marketers to sell their wares. Everything from music to used cars is sold via online videos. However, many companies are finding a problem with these sites - the free access to everyone creates an environment that is not conducive to business. Merchants have slowly begun to move away from these sites. Now businesses have something to cheer about. Until now, there were no "social commerce network" online video models, and JunkTube caters to both personal and business social commerce only. There are many businesses which feel the need of selling via video but most of the businesses are wary of promoting their business through websites which were meant for personal fun and teen social networking and can not conduct serious business. Another factor which discouraged businesses to promote videos was the audience that visited the websites. The majority of the audience visited the sites for watching funny videos or catching up on their favorite music bands. Hence, it does not make sense for a business to promote its products on such sites because they are not business-user friendly. The business would not get the target audience of the product or service that it is trying to promote. Luckily, there is something currently on the Internet which is going to change the way you watch videos and conduct business.

The members who visit the social commerce website will be genuine viewers who would be interested in either checking out or buying a product. JunkTube's "social commerce network" video site is planning to charge a small membership fee for verification purposes, to ensure the quality of traffic that visits the sites. The site owners are also planning to have a check on the members to ensure that kids who are below a stipulated age do not become members of the site. Other parameters will also be checked to ensure the quality of membership through volunteered identification verification. The products or services that would be uploaded on the sites would also be screened before being displayed on the site. With so many measures in place, it will be possible to uphold the quality of the site and ensure that the products and services being sold are genuine and of high quality. This type of business model is exactly what companies and individuals interested in selling their products or services are in need of.

Make Web 2.0 Work For Your Business As the buzzwords go Web 2.0 is the current reigning deity. But how can one small businessman tap into it to make it work for his business? This article offers some tips to sync one's marketing strategies with web 2.0 scenario. Want To Make Web 2.0 Work For Your Business? Silicon Valley loves its buzzwords, and none more than it does Web 2.0 these days. But what exactly is it in terms of website development and strategic internet marketing? Unless you're a diehard techie, wish you good luck in figuring out what it means. Web 2.0 technologies bearing names like wikis, blogs, RSS, AJAX, mashups and the startups hawking them -- Renkoo, Gahbunga, Ning, Squidoo sound to be straight out of Star Wars, right up Mr. George Lucas' alley. So what does all this mumbo-jumbo means to a normal businessman - a value multiplier or 'only for geeks' stuff? Rest assured Mr. Businessman, for all its appeal to the young, the nerds and the wired; Web 2.0 may end up making its greatest impact in business. And this could well prove to be the one vehicle to usher in more changes in corporations that are already in the throes of such tech-driven transformations as globalization and outsourcing. Indeed, what some are calling Enterprise 2.0 could transcend the whole lot of organizational boundaries, between managers and employees and between the company and its partners and customers. So how does one go about making Web 2.0 work for his/her business? Let's see how: 1. Work out a plan Don't dive in just for the sake of keeping abreast with the changing world and its technology. Be clear about what you're trying to accomplish, how and where Web 2.0 can help your business, how much you're willing to invest and what time frame you are working on. Plan ahead! 2. Good content is the key Web 2.0 is the social web, but it's still content-driven. And the control lies in the hands of the users here, mind you! You might think yourself to be the smartest marketing man this side of the Suez but remember, it is the user who would determine how good or bad you are. Lousy content leads to lousy marketing, no matter how flashy it is. Make your content relevant, interesting and real. Put yourself in your customer's shoes, ask yourself questions you would as a customer and answer those with your content. 3. Be information provider not a salesman Help, inform, educate but do not sell. Web 2.0 is all about people connecting by helping each other. No salesmen allowed! Think education, not advertising. Deliver useful, nuts and bolts stuff or honest opinions they can believe. That's how you build credibility and trust that lead to new customer relationships. 4. Have a free hosted blog Wordpress and Blogger both have very useful and simple blogs you can setup for free. Use them to start blogging and get a feel for how it works and how people use Web 2.0. Dip your toe in the water to test it before diving straight in. 5. Do it yourself Web 2.0 is about being real. It's real people connecting with each other. Make sure you or your employees create the content and do the work to start with. And when scales demand it, hire a professional company offering . Still keep tab on what they are doing and what they are writing. Surf blogs, YouTube, Google Videos, Del.icio.us, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Technorati and other social media websites. Get a feel for how they work and who goes there. Become part of some social media communities. Make new friends online. Get in touch with professional web development companies and firms providing internet marketing services well versed in Web 2.0 tools and marketing ways. Immerse yourself in the Web 2.0 culture so you know how it works and where and how it fits in smoothly with your marketing plans. I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

How can you make your site stand out? Web content includes, among other things: text, images, sounds, videos and animations. More broadly, it's all the 'stuff' in your site, weblog, discussion board, e-commerce site, etc. Documents, data, applications, e-services, images, audio and video files, personal Web pages, archived e-mail messages, and more. Adding valuable content to your site should encompass more than an hour or so culling information from several different sources and slapping it on your site. There is an abundance of free content on the Internet for your use, but that's the problem. It's free; and abundant. Everyone is using it. You should have a strategy. First figure out what your site's content will be and your site's content sources. If your content is not original, it is your responsibility to ensure that you follow all applicable laws when developing your site content. If you didn't create your content and are unsure of its source, find out. If it's not clear that you have explicit permission to use it, don't use it until you know that you legally can. Check the terms of use and policies of your resources to ensure you use content properly. Last, but certainly not least, you must determine who is going to maintain your site. You can do it yourself, which may involve considerable time and effort. You may choose to pay someone else to do it, which cut down on your time and effort but increase your costs. Whatever your strategy is, write it down and revise it as necessary. A significant portion of your web content should be original, and contain value-added content. For example, a blogger spends a couple of hours writing a blog post on some current topic, and thousands of others do so as well on the same topic. This blogger, however, did her homework. She went beyond the incremental knowledge on this subject that many of her peers had, and took the time to create specific, in-depth content. This in-depth content takes much longer to create, but it will truly set her site apart from a lot of the lesser experts on her topic. Occasionally, a single unique phrase within a paragraph can increase conversion rates. Thorough content's added value can hold your audience's attention, raise feedback, increase subscriptions and revenue, and increase your sites popularity. Good website content will not only be interesting to the initial reader, but frequently recommended to other by that reader. Since you couldn't possibly know everything about your online audience, try to vary your content. While your content should certainly be timely, a portion of it should be 'static'- meaning good content that need not be immediately be updated or changed significantly. This will save you time and money, yet still provide your audience with substance. If your content is somewhat controversial, use this to your advantage. Give your online audience a place on your site to sound off by leaving comments, suggestions, or even hold their own discussions. If you're not a great writer or researcher, there are options for you as well. Free reprint articles, private label articles, and ghostwriters can all help you with your content for a fee. Ultimately, deciding what content to offer and how to incorporate it should be your decision. Your great, innovative place on the web is like building a home. It takes some planning, preparation, and time. There is no quick, easy way. Once the content foundation is laid, it is value-added, and reaches its audience it's not likely to fail.

This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

Video Streaming And The Impatient Consumer In the future consumers will no longer be bound to a specific time frame to view their favorite television shows. The show will simply be made available on a certain date and downloaded (possibly through an RSS feed and viewed at the convenience of the consumer). The show may then be archived for future referral. The future is here when it comes to video streaming. Consumers may not fully comprehend the changes that have taken place nor have television producers come to fully appreciate the possibilities in video streaming, but the pieces are in place for a revolution in video consumption. DVD rental locations are feeling the shift. Now consumers can download movies to watch via their computer. No longer do they have to visit the local DVD store to see if any copies are available, nor do they have to wait on shipments from those mail order DVD firms. Nope, now they simply wait for an online download and they can begin watching in a matter of minutes. This is the same video streaming technology that is allowing entertainment consumers the opportunity to view movie trailers and teasers for upcoming television shows. This new thought process will also create a ripple effect for certain motel chains that have movies on demand that can be purchased for an escalated price. A PC owner can use the free hi-speed Internet service to download an enormous selection of videos and forgo the motel offerings altogether. You are able to view highlight reels of sports games and television offerings are slowly making the Internet another distribution point. In fact, the point of online video helps create a secondary platform where the entertainment consumer can also use interactive tools to find out more about characters, behind the scenes footage and character blogs. It is conceivable that there will be a merger between your computer and television that can allow the two to interact in a way that brings more clarity to what you watch and more features for you to consider.

It would seem our brains are being trained to find a way to connect our interests and the Internet is the most viable proving ground for bring everything together.

Video Streaming - A Market Unto Itself Video streaming is not just a marketing tool anymore. Perhaps it never was designed for marketing purposes alone. Today popular video seminars are available by video streaming downloads. The content has its own value so other tools are used to market a fee-based video seminar. These could be strategic lessons about a specific industry, motivational streams or self-help and religious instruction. Sometimes these video streams are for a specific course and may have password-protected pdf file downloads for note taking or testing. Some web users are assigning a monetary value to content rich video streams that can empower them for greater success, give them tools to help cope with loss, provide step by step directions for a specific skill set or simply provide a unique opportunity to be encouraged by someone skilled in the arena of motivation. In some ways video streams may be a bit like renting a series of DVDs, but the side benefits are much more acute and bring a comprehensive value to the overall download. Take for instance interactive online polls, reference material downloads and links to specific complimentary products. These are all things that are not available with existing DVD technology. One of the primary things that may hold video streaming from a broader acceptance is that there are still a significant portion of the population who are not utilizing the web for this type of interactive information. The overriding principle of Internet functionality is the hybrid of complimentary technologies - one application that works in concert with a separate and distinct application. Imagine being able to gain access to a highly valuable training video stream and then gaining priority access to a forum where other members who have viewed the same material can meet to discuss certain aspects of the training. These benefits only add to the value of a paid video stream. Colleges and Universities have long recognized the importance of making offsite video available for distance learners, but the Internet also allows individuals to view the video stream from the comfort of their own home or even in a Wi-Fi hot zone using headphones while drinking a latte. What does this say about video streaming? Well it tells us that this entertaining application that was ultimately used as a marketing tool has grown into its own. Something that was deemed useful to businesses as a marketing tool can, and in many cases does, stand on it's own as a marketable product in much the same way an ebook can be used as both a marketing tool as well as a marketable product. This versatile tool can still be used for the amusement of the masses (ala YouTube and similar video streaming sites), it can still be used to pass along free content rich information, but it can also be used to enhance an existing fee-based ecourse or study program making something accessible that was never available in such a dynamic way before. How does this affect the way you view the potential in video streaming for profit? I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

Five Rules For Social Video Optimization The popularity of social video sites like YouTube, Yahoo Video, iFilm, blinkx is undeniable. YouTube alone receives more than 65,000 video uploads and plays 100 million clips every day. By 2010, video enthusiasts will consume 44 billion user generated video clips. This represents 55% of all the video content viewed by US consumers. In the future, user generated videos may even end up on your television screen through the cables and satellites. YouTube has already announced incorporating the revenue sharing possibility with the creators of these video streams. Other sites may follow soon. You will be able to monetize your video contents and allow others to discover your skills and talents for better jobs or other lucrative offerings. To maximize the impact of your creativity, you need to know the kind of contents you have to produce and effectively present those contents in the video sharing sites. The social video optimization is not about optimizing your videos for high search engine ranking (SEO). It is about making your videos for others to enjoy and learn from (providing benefits to people) and publishing those videos in social video and social media websites for viewers to easily discover, bookmark, and share for a viral effect. 1. Provide benefits. Offer something that will benefit others. It may be funny video clips, a series of "how-to" videos, an unusual moment, etc. Don't upload any violent clips. Though these clips are popular in video sharing sites, most of the time they don't provide any real value to the society. Unless the violence has journalistic value, don't embrace it for amusement. Funny clips are popular. Kids and pets provide plenty of opportunities to capture hilarious moments. If you have plumbing skills, offer a series of short "how to" videos on fixing things around the house. A computer geek can channel her skills in developing short videos on how to setup a home network. Plenty of opportunities are available. Find your niches and work in those areas. If you are comedian, create short stand-up comedy routine videos. The bottom line is to create themes and produce a series of videos based on each theme. 2. Provide enhanced viewing experience. People do not want to watch a full-length movie in a video-sharing site. A clip should not be more than 10 minutes long. Buy a cell phone with a good quality camera for capturing those unexpected moments. Otherwise, use a digital video camera for making your clips. Use a free online video editing sites like http://cuts.com for cutting video scenes, inserting title and sound effects, etc. 3. Create your brand. Companies spend millions to establish and promote brands. Why should not you? Brand recognition is very powerful and it may set you apart from others. Insert a few frames at the start and end of every video you create to introduce yourself, your skills and talents. People like to associate with real persons rather than some unknown entities. Tell them what this video is all about. Make it short. Setup a blog and provide your blog URL in the introductory and conclusionary frames. Make the blog URL short for people to remember it easily. 4. Make it discoverable. This is like marketing your video on the video sharing sites. If you don't do it properly, your contribution will be lost in the sea of video clips. Provide a short and catchy title with keywords related to your video. Relevant keywords will help locate your clips when people do a search. A catchy title in the search results will draw viewers' attention. Learn from the titles others are using by doing a search using your keywords in YouTube and other similar sites. The same goes for the description. Use relevant keywords but make it interesting to arouse curiosity. Write in the natural language and avoid adjectives. Let the users decide the quality of your presentation. Tags are everywhere now a day. It is a keyword, not a keyword phrase. You should provide tags for your uploaded contents. If your titles and descriptions are relevant to your videos, you already have a few tags. Besides the tags you have already collected from your title and description use one or more tags to closely identify your content to the categories available in the site. For example, on YouTube you have categories like "autos and vehicles", "comedy", "howto" etc. If your video is about how to fix a flat tire, use additional tags like "tire", "car", etc. Add a few additional tags to describe the least important thing in your video. In the "fix a flat tire" video example, you can add tags like "stems", "valve", etc. Use as many tags as you can accommodate in the tag text box. 5. Relax and enjoy. You may be wondering why this is a rule. This is a rule because you do not want to feel the burnout. Enjoy what you are doing. Have a passion for your creative works. Don't think about how much money you are going to make by producing these videos. This is not going to make you rich overnight or within a very short time span. What is important is that you are pursuing something that you like. If the society is benefiting from your creative works, you will get adequate monetary rewards. I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

What You Need To Make Your Own Online Videos Online video websites; there is a good chance that you have heard of them before. In fact, there is a good chance that you have even used them before.

If you are looking to produce a quality video, you may want to think about using a camcorder or a webcam. Cell phones and digital cameras will work, but many only provide you with a limited amount of recording time. In addition to a limited amount of time, not all digital cameras and cell phones will record sounds. Although these sounds can be added in later, it may be time consuming.

If this is the case, you will need to purchase some. Movie making software programs can easily be purchased online or from a wide variety of different retail stores. Once your video has been loaded onto your computer and recognized by movie making software, you have a number of different options. If you are satisfied with your video, as it is, you can save it and then move on. If you would like to make alterations, now would be the time to do so. Depending on the type of moving making software you have, you should easily be able to edit your video. This editing may include, but should not be limited to, deleting scenes, adding captions, and the adding of music. Once you have made all of your edits, you will need to save your movie. The final step to making an online movie is to find an online video website that you can upload your video to. Popular online video websites including YouTube and Goggle Video; however, you can find additional sites by performing a standard internet search.

Web Video Propels Search Engine Rankings I first got the phone call a month or so ago. I was knee deep in web site marketing projects and was actually jammed to capacity. I was looking to finish up all of my small jobs so I could move forward and do some more challenging assignments. Plus I was in the middle of releasing some top notch online hybrid techniques that I was about to figure out on my own. This has become somewhat of a hobby of mine if not an obsession. This phone call was different from the ones that usually come into my office. As I learned more about my prospect on the other end of the phone I became somewhat intrigued. WORKING ABROAD IN MY LIVING ROOM The project that fell on my desk was for an online campaign for the Philippines. I have no idea about anything that pertains to Philippine culture but this didn't stop me from getting involved. I was fascinated with the challenge of getting involved with this amazing project. You see, this customer was none other than the famous David Newby, Best Selling Author to, "Why Didn't Anyone Teach Me This?". Newby is well known for his financial strategies that he teaches here in the states and abroad. I was eager to get started and got so wound up in the conversation that I didn't clarify the details. You see, I thought we had over a month to get this thing launched properly. Pleasantries were exchanged and money changed hands and my new customer was zooming off in his candy apple red Lamborghini ………..it turns out I was wrong. I had 4 days to pull off the impossible. I had exactly under 4 working days to get my client, David Newby, listed and ranked highly on Google and Yahoo. That is not a whole lot of time. You see, we had decided not to bother putting up any pay per click campaigns up for our efforts. We didn't even want to put any sponsored links up. We were going to play a straight game of organic search engine rankings and do it very quickly. That meant that I had to get his pages at the top of Google without paying a dime. Could it be done? Could we actually get our pages included into the Google directory index and have our pages rank at the very top? I knew that If I could actually get Newby in the top ten just once I had done my job. If I was able to get him listed just one time for every keyword set he had designed I would have been pleased. I had my work cut out for me. This meant that I had to get on the move. The more I sat around pondering the less time I had to make history happen. BEYOND ORDINARY SEO, (SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION) The one thing we did that catapulted our results into another stratosphere was digital video. This wasn't just your ordinary web video. We shot the video using a HD camera with high resolution and a green screen effect. Basically we used a simple chroma key effect and completely took out the background and made it all white. The effect was flawless but that is not what got us high rankings. We took that simple video and translated it for the search engines. The video search engines that is. Only 10% of all web traffic comes from the search engines. That is actually pretty shocking when you consider the significance of it all. So where does the other 90% come from? The traffic comes from a variety of sources and these are: 1. Video Search Engines 2. Podcast Search Engines 3. Blog Search Engines 4. Social Networks 5. Publicity Sites These are all in addition to the regular search engines. The magic of using all of these incredible elements is that they literally propel your rankings to the top - not once, not twice but multiple times. In fact, we were able to get to the top ten 8 out of 10 times in just about every category we picked. That is substantial. We did some incredible things with our rankings. We definitely got the word out about our seminar and info related products. Now here is the one thing you may have never expected. We were able to get these top rankings in just four hours. That's right. Four hours. It took a little pushing and prodding but we were able to get our message out there to the masses in just a few hours. Web video is definitely an attention getter. Not only were we able to get our messages into the niche categories but also into the top of Google. This was accomplished without so much as paying a dime to Google for pay-per-click or any sponsored listings. This is substantial. Imagine being able to knock out the high cost of pay per click and still being able to dominate the top of the search engines. That is something that is worth celebrating about. I found myself looking for alternative ideas to PPC after my clients kept complaining about high rising costs to market online. This constant rise of client dissatisfaction pushed me into finding new ways to getting top rankings with moderate fees. In doing so I was able to get away from the expected ways of online popularity. USING THE NEW TYPES OF SEARCH ENGINES The best way to get good at this type of marketing is to try out new services and live by doing. It is one thing to think about it but taking action is the greatest short cut to great results. Not every industry responds the same way. When I created my first online radio show, (podcast) I noticed immediately that I was not a big hit in the Midwest. However my ratings picked up pretty heavy in California and New York City and ironically that is where all of my business is coming from. When we were hitting 8 out of 10 of the top ten listings on Google we noticed these listings came from a variety of sources. Some of them were from video listings, some came from podcasting sites, some came from social networks and others came from blogs. But the kicker came in a few weeks. Since web 2.0 services like http://YouTube.com and Google Video automatically creates HTML code it makes life very convenient. This means that visitors can copy and paste into their own web pages or blogs. And that is exactly what happened. Our videos started to pop up on services that we didn't set up. Our clips started to pop up on video search engines that we never heard of. Someone had seen our clips and liked what they saw and posted them on other services. That means we got our material distributed for free. This had a huge affect on our search engine rankings. This sent us to the very top on Google and Yahoo. I might also add that the other web site services jumped on board and put us up on high rank visibility as well. These other search engines often use the same technology. Ask Jeeves, Dogpile and many others borrow the same search engine technology to fuel their services. The moral of the story? By using the new modern tools you can literally write your own ticket. I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

All you need to do is create a demonstration like the infomercials you see on TV through which you can extol the merits of your products, systems or services. Internet video presentations are more interesting Internet videos are way better than mere text or graphic advertisements. Nowadays, consumers suffer from information overload.

Video Marketing For Free Traffic Using video marketing to drive traffic to your web site is an online marketing strategy many small business owners and internet marketers are beginning to embrace, with much success. Having a traditional website only allows you to reach those people who first find your website. However, combining video, social networking and some simple video marketing techniques can drive hordes of qualified visitors to your website. First, let's forget the silly videos you'll find all over YouTube of kids running into fences and demonstrating the newest dance move. While that kind of video can bring in hundreds of thousands of views, it won't bring the targeted traffic you need. Instead, consider making a video tightly targeted towards your niche. A real estate agent might make a video introducing herself and showcasing a few of her available homes for sale. A night club might make a video "commercial" with soundbites from partygoers. A software developer might make a video demonstrating his latest application. Because Google and other search engines are beginning to give videos hosted on sites like YouTube preferential search engine ranking, it's quite possible your video could end up on the first page of search results for your targeted keyphrase. This is incredibly powerful and not to be overlooked, as this is what will make your video marketing efforts well worth the time you invest in them. Consider that YouTube itself may not have a huge market of people looking for videos on "Oakland real estate." But if your video titled "Oakland Real Estate" made the first page of Google search results (again, due to the preferential search results video is receiving in the search engines) you'd benefit from the hundreds of people who search for that term in Google seeing your video as the #1 result and ,in turn, watching your clip. With the preferential treatment videos are receiving in search results, the question then becomes, "How do I move people from watching my video on YouTube to actually visiting my website?" This is simple. Bribe them, at the end of your marketing video. What follows are some ideas: * Offer them something for free at your site (a consultation, a report, free drink, demo version, MP3 download, etc.) * Poll them or ask them a question they need visit your site to answer. People love to give their opinion. You can combine with the free offer, above, by giving them the freebie upon completion of the poll or question. This is invaluable for market research. * Leave 'em hanging. Don't tell the whole story on your YouTube hosted video - instead, tell them just enough to incite curiosity. Then, instruct them to visit your site for the complete story or answer. Each of these ideas are intentionally broad can be focused indefinitely and molded to fit your target market. The key here is catching your audience while they're hot; directly after having watched our video and giving them a reason to continue on to your website. The truth is that if you don't, most will simply click through to another video or search result. Capitalize on their attention and tell them where to go and what to do next - you'll be surprised at how many will comply! Even if you're no Spieldberg (I know I'm not) you can produce traffic sucking videos with these simple methods. I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

Video Marketing - The One They Come Back For I was sent a link recently to a video that was powerful in the way it presented the idea of going the extra mile for customer in ways that were easy, but unexpected. I left the viewing of the video inspired and wanting to find new ways to make my own businesses better. While I was inspired by the video and would willingly send anyone to the site I also discovered this video to be a video marketing strategy for a series of inspiring books and motivational downloads. The video was the marketing tool. It was emotive, challenging and powerful, but it was also designed to BE the selling tool for the affiliated products. Testimonial after testimonial located after the viewing of the video indicated this series was an excellent resource and empowered employees to find job satisfaction in serving customers well. I think the reason I was so taken with the approach was that it was vastly different from most video marketing strategies. In most cases the video presented is a sales tool telling you why the available products are just what you need. The videos will provide the testimonials and bits of details that leave you with partial answers to thought provoking questions. These are key elements in video marketing and they are effective, but the novel approach to giving you a complete and motivational video download was unexpected. Here's why I believe this approach works. The emotive video does not actively sell a product or service. Because this is true there is no pressure, just the emotional connections associated with the viewing. Once the video is over the viewer will think of others that would benefit from viewing this feel good motivational video. The soft sell of the video is literally making it possible for an incredible number of potential buyers to visit the site and find encouragement. Even if they have no interest in buying the product they will likely keep the link handy to share with others over the long-term and I'm pretty certain there will be some of those that find the motivational material a strong enough reason to make a purchase. What's more is that the video is essentially timeless. The end product could change from time to time, but the video remains the cornerstone of the marketing plan. And because so many will forward a link to business associates, family and friends the end result is a positive experience even after the viewer understand there is a no-obligation set of products that can be purchased following the viewing. This is a great example of giving more than you have to, and by doing so you end up with improved traffic and a higher conversion rate. I think part of the problem with most sales videos is that they often breed distrust from the beginning. Most people see the sales pitch and watch for the angle they know is coming. This secondary type of marketing approach takes them off guard it is a simple straightforward story that turns out to be true, emotional, motivating and inspirational. And that story ties very specifically into the product being sold, but in the end the video stands on its own merit. I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

Internet Video Production Tips You probably know how beneficial posting your own internet video is. For a business owner, online video is worthy content that can easily capture attention and increase traffic to a web site. Videos are very effective in holding the target consumers' short attention span. Moreover, if codes are included and video sharing is encouraged, internet videos can be a good way to get one-way links and thereby positively affect a web site's page rank ratings by search engines. For the individual who doesn't have commerce in mind, producing internet videos can become a way to become an internet celebrity. Internet videos are great for social networking and blogging. Indeed, internet videos have become a significant tool for business or self promotion. The following are some tips to producing your own internet videos. Make Your Video Content You should make good quality videos so you can engender the most interest in it when you post it. Use proper lighting and avoid shadows. Use a high quality microphone, too, for clear audio. The smaller the size of your video, the faster your viewers can download it. However, don't sacrifice video quality for speed. Of course, remember that your viewers are going to watch it through small window displays so it is better to get clean and clear close-up shots. If you have some video captions included, use larger text sizes for clarity and understandability. Finally, edit your video. Keep the highlights and cut the boring parts. Find Your Video Distribution Site You can put up your internet video in your own web site, but this would entail you to make your won video hosting arrangements. Ask your web hosting solutions provider if video downloading or video streaming services are supported. Video downloading is where your viewers need to download your internet video to their hard disks. They need to save the video to their own computers before they can play it using their computer's video player or a downloadable video player application. There are video downloading service providers that cost nothing. There's also a progressive downloading mechanism where your viewers can play internet videos while downloading them. Video streaming, on the other hand, totally does away with the need to download the videos and allows immediate playback so it offers the most convenience to your viewers. Of course, getting a video hosting provider that supports video streaming can cost you a pretty penny. The more popular way to distribute internet videos is posting your sites to video distribution web sites which have their own video hosting infrastructure. These web sites cost you nothing to join and will sometimes pay you to post video content. They also have a wide market base and reach; for instance, YouTube gets around 20 million visitors every month.
