Video Marketing: A Combination of Social Media and Article Marketing

Video Marketing is one of the most powerful forms of inexpensive or free marketing online. Consider video marketing as a combination of Social Media and Article Marketing. You're building trust and relationships while providing valuable content. YouTube is the most famous sites for video. On YouTube, you can make comments, subscribe to channels, and add friends, much as you do with Facebook. More importantly, you can give great contentandbuild trust because people will get to see you and hear you. This is vital for personal branding.

Keep your videos short. No longer than five minutes, unless it's really good content and won't bore people. Most people will spare two to three minutes to learn a tip to two. In Video Marketing it's permissible to tell more about how your business can help people, but keep it to a minimum. You're providing content not a commercial.

In each video you have two goals: 1) Educate the viewer and 2) Tell the viewer what to do next.

Video Marketers also should understand the concepts of personal branding. In your video account make sure you have your picture and short bio telling more about you. Besides the link in the description box of the video, make sure you have it in the biography section of your video account. Tell your story. Be yourself. You don't have to be perfect or slick in your presentation. In fact, being normal and a bit clumsy will give you more credibility. People are distrustful of slick advertising. Make a video and speak to the camera as if you're talking to your ideal costumer who already wants your service.

Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category.

Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - Just as an update, Evan has extended the poll's expiration date and says he'd like to see at least 25 "yes" votes before implementing the new category. Moreover, it would probably be called "Online Marketing" instead of Social Media Marketing".
