Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past decade, then you already know that in order for us entrepreneurs to survive in the marketplace we have to do one thing and do it well, that’s drive traffic. There are 100s of ways to drive traffic, some effective and some not so effective, but there is one method that has proven itself time and time again and as a matter of fact is the preferred medium for successful online marketers.
Why Use Video Marketing and Why 2010 Is The Best Year To Implement It?
Video Marketing is by far the most easiest way to brand yourself as a expert in your market. If you want to create trust, credibility and build traffic all at the same time, using video marketing is by far one of the most smartest and most effective strategies you can use for your business. Video is easy to produce, can be fairly inexpensive if done right, and is one of the quickest way to drive targeted traffic.
Think about when you see someone else using video marketing, don’t you feel like you know this person? You feel like the barrier has been broken and you get a feel of who the person really is. Video marketing itself can create a lifetime brand for you and your business. Audios work, using picture works, but there is nothing compared to video. Just one short 1 minute video can boost your personal branding and sales easily.
How to use marketing to drive more traffic to your websites?
One thing I love about video marketing is that it’s viral. Videos have the tendency to be shared quickly and easily thanks to all the new social media networking sites out there. You don’t have to just limit your videos to YouTube or viddler. With the built in sharing features of sites like Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, you can easily get your video in front of a lot of people quickly, and the good thing about this is, people are now more conditioned to view video and are more likely to share it with their community rather than just regular written content.
Video marketing doesn’t have to be expensive, in fact it’s not even close to as expensive as it was years ago. Now, you can simply put up a video you recorded using a HD Flip Camera or even a cellphone camera such as the blackberry or iphone etc. The perception of video now is more personal than it was years ago, it doesn’t have to be the best quality, as long as it delivers the message effectively you’ll do well. If you haven’t been using video yet, now is the best time to capitalize on 2010 and put yourself one step ahead of your competition.
