Using online video to tell a story

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Marketing is about telling a story. It’s about talking directly to your prospective customers and telling them who you are, what you do, and why you’re different and better than the competition. When done correctly, it makes prospective customers feel connected to you.

So what’s your story? Who are you? What makes you different?

Are you the company that prides itself on its customer service? Or are you the company that donates 10 percent of your earnings to a local chartiy? Or maybe you’re simply the company with the most highly trained staff? Once you have your story, spread it.

Every small business has a unique story. If you want to successfully market and grow your business, focus on telling yours.

Using online video to maximise your presence in the search engine results

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

The goal is to get your video found when prospective customers search for your keywords on any of the leading search engines. Uploading your video onto publishing channels such as Youtube & Vimeo can help you maximise your presence on these search engines.

To contextualise your video content, websites such as Youtube enable you to accompany your video content with attributes like: Keywords/ Key Phrases, Title, Description, URL, Author, & Profile.

We suggest that you use contextualise your video content in the following way:

1) Keywords/ Key Phrases or Tags

Google’s keyword tool can be used to research the search traffic for different key phrases. What you’re looking for is not the most popular key phrases, but long tail key phrases instead.

2) Title

Come up with a keyphrase-rich title that is human readable. A simple list of key-phrases and keywords looks like spam, and you won’t get people clicking to watch your videos, so they won’t even enter your sales funnel.

3) Description

Most “Descriptions” give you around 200 characters to play with. Like your title, these should be keyword-rich and human readable.

Your landing page URL should be the first thing in your description. Most of the sites you submit your video to will shorten your description, and you want your URL to be seen.

4) URL

Some websites enable you to associate a URL with your video. You should use your landing page URL.

5) Author

Rather than write your name, or business, you should use your landing page URL again.

6) Profile

Use the same rules above to give prominence to your keyphrases and landing page URL in profile descriptions.
