The Power of Video

Video is a way to educate your audience more quickly about your services for less cost. Video captures the attention of your chosen audience. Search Engines love video, it’s faster to get indexed than article marketing and people just love watching videos. Videos generate traffic to your site therefore increase sales.

Some popular video sites are YouTube, Google, Yahoo, Social Media Sites.

How to use Video

Make your videos You can use a digital camera, video cameras, web-cams, cell-phones etc (anything that records video) Keep it under 100mb so you can upload it. You may also need video software to transfer your raw data to the right type of file.

Stay on Topic. Always put your web address in the video. Videos are just another form of marketing and communicating your value to your market. It's no different than writing a sales letter on a website.

Provide product-related information to aid use of your product or service.

Offer Sponsorship. Sponsors who may have similar products or complimentary products may want to pay to advertise or for you to advertise them.

Connect with people internationally or customers living in remote locations.

Why Every Business should have a Video on there website

Have you ever been at an event and listened intently to someone speaking only to say to the person beside you what did he say? Have you been at a social gathering in which you only had a few moments to talk about yourself and your business only to hear your audience say "What did he say?" or "What does he do?"

With video there are no other distractions like there are in person. You can rewind and fast forward if you do not understand or you are interrupted. You can replay anytime and any hour of the day. You can even press stop!

Do you find yourself spending more time on the internet then you do watching TV? Video watchers are TV watchers. Pew Research Center reports that Online news consumption continues to grow, and substantial minorities of Americans are now taking advantage of specialized web-based and digital tools to get the news.

Videos can be viewed anywhere on phones and on your website. You can add your video as an attachment on your email.Videos can be watched on subways, walking your dog and during your lunch hour.

Videos increase traffic, is less costly then a TV advertisement and much like a sales page or a TV commercial it is a way for you to advertise your site.

Women Entrepreneur Tips - Thank you LeoOliveros, I found #4 particularly true in my case: 4. The Enterprise Must Include the Power of Power Networks. As a conductor of your own enterprise, you can not see yourself as a one-woman-show. You must choose to utilize the power people in your life, by asking for help when you need it, and effectively delegating in order to capitalize on your strengths and that of your power network. When certain experts are not represented in your power network, you must actively seek advisors or mentors and develop a team of specialists, so the benefits are received by everyone involved in the power network - the true Power of Power Networks.

I'm A Video Marketing Girl From NYC! - Hi All! Great Forum Evan. I'm a video producer living in NYC. I help women entrepreneurs grow their brand using video.

Re: NEW VIDEO - Video Marketing - Yes or No? - Ask Evan - Will watch the video later on. I agree with the comments, though, about video blogs. I like using videos ON my blog, always accompanied by text, either an introduction to what the video is about (like your intro to your video on this thread) or a transcript of the video itself. I really recommend that people learn to edit their videos and also do some retakes too. I guess a lot of people don't want to invest the extra time, but I think you get much better results and give the viewer better value by cutting out extended passages of waffle!
Psychics & horoscopes! - I have never sought the help of a psychic and I deffinately do not believe in horoscopes. Although I do believe "some" psychics could hold a special gift (like the ones that help police) occassionaly, but horoscopes are not believable in my book. I I believe the power of suggestion (reading a horoscope) is the real power there. You read or hear how things should go for you and the power of that suggestion could make it happen. Your mind believes it will happen, so it does. It's Sort of like how if you fully believe you are sick (when you are not), your body reacts as if it really is, therefore developing symptoms.
