Have you recently sat back and realize the power of video marketing?

If you take a look at the growth of YouTube and all other video hosting sites. It is growing in leaps and bounds.

Do understand that video marketing is becoming more popular TODAY than ever. Are you noticing a trend in seeing more video blogging?

What I like about video blogs, you can still provide text for SEO purposes and then a 3-5 minute video. You can even view video blogs on a mobile device. With the plugins that are available today you can turn your blog into a mobile friendly blog. So now individuals will be able to view your video right in their phones.

Here is why you should take advantage of video marketing:

  1. Creates CREDITABILITY
  2. Creates TRUST
  3. Individuals will do business with you since they see you and see that you are LIKABLE

With video marketing you can promote a product, service, or yourself. It is a lot easier today to create a video with use of video cameras and screen capture software. Within 10-15 minutes you can produce a high quality video and in 30 minutes have it publish driving traffic. It's that easy.

Before you go to create your video, Let me share with you 4 video marketing tips to jump start your marketing:

  1. Don't make it any longer than 5 minutes. Get your message out with a call to action.
  2. If you are using a camera. Make sure you are looking directly at the camera. Keep it eye level, so you are not speaking looking down at your audience.
  3. Go ahead and create a channel on YouTube and to post your video. Now, you can embed the video onto your blog post by copying the HTML code.
  4. YouTube is not the only video hosting site. You also have Viddler and Revver.

If you follow these simple guidelines you will be able to produce a high quality video within minutes attracting traffic and leads to your business. Here is the best part of it all...IT'S ALL FREE!

Here is what I'm willing to do:

I will do a special webinar going over simple video marketing tips showing you first hand the simplicity of creating KILLER videos. If you never done video marketing this will show you how simple it is to create a video. If you want to generate free leads for your business then go ahead and register below for the webinar.

Know, like and trust

Hi Josh,

awesome advice. Video marketing is absolutely a great way to build the necessary "know, like and trust". And you are right: A video shouldn’t be longer than 5 minutes, definitely. The shorter, the better. Thanks for sharing.

Take care

Thanks Oliver!

With video you can build credibility & trust just by putting together a 5 minute video...Now That is Powerful!!!

Engaging, Entertaining, and Educational

I love how much value one little video can pack in. In a few short minutes you can engage someone, entertain them, and teach them something new. I love to see videos on a blog post and I'm committing to doing more of them on my blog now too (thanks to your advice!)

Great post, Josh!

It is the way to go!

Josh,

I love video marketing, it creates such a connection with your audience. Many of my biz opportunity leads have come through videos that I have floating all around the Internet and lead back to my blog. This helps develop a better initial relationship with my prospects.

Thanks for sharing Josh!

Elmar, Your welcome!

5 minutes is a good time frame. Just like writing a blog post. You don't want to write out a novel. You lose people.

Josh Garcia — Thu, 08/12/2010 - 9:16am

Thanks, I guess video marketing is here to stay

Thanks Josh, I liked the tips you wrote about video marketing. In fact I am just about to start my first videos to give free Spanish classes to Networkers. By the way Josh, what type of video camera would you recommend, as far as quality and affordability.

Thanks for your tips, and as always, God Bless you
