A Look At Video Marketing Online
Posted By Kelly Blomquist on July 1, 2010
All over the web, people won’t stop talking about their new favorite viral videos. It’s the new water cooler conversation. “Did you see that one where the kid bites his brother’s finger? What about the cat doing a barrel roll?” and so on. Some make these videos for fun, others for video marketing, but either way, this is more than just a fad. Here’s how these videos can help you.
It’s The New Word of Mouth
Back in the day, it was all about word of mouth. The thing about viral videos is that it’s almost replaced word of mouth on the internet. The thing is, people might not post in their blog “Hey I got a great haircut today at (YOUR SALON NAME HERE)”, but if you have a great video for that same salon, they might post it, whether or not they’ve ever been to your place, for the sheer entertainment value. Don’t believe us? You’ve seen the video for Montgomery Flea Market, right? Have you ever been to Flea Market Montgomery? Probably not, but we’re willing to bet that you favorited that video and showed it to some friends.
It Makes You Money Whether or Not it Works
If you distribute your video through a website that shares ad revenue with you, you don’t even need it to bring in a ton of customers, you can start earning money on the ad revenue alone. This means that an entertaining video will serve two purposes: First, it leads people to your business, second, it makes money on its own.
How Can I Do This?
When it comes to marketing with an online video, what it really comes down to is this: Value for the viewer. People won’t sit there and watch yet another commercial, but let’s say you sell computers. Your video can be a how to on computer repair, it can be funny or entertaining, it can show some of the new computer games coming out. The main thing is that people will watch your video if there is value to be found in just watching the video, whether or not they ever buy anything from you.
