What is video promotion?

This will help us brand ourselves, our products or services. When we created our videos and upload them to You Tube or any other websites it’s not enough, we should explore and post them on a lot of websites and after they post we need to promote them.

Video promotion is needed as every marketing actions is needed everywhere, in the offline world we used to do marketing to everything we wanted to show and present to our clients and customers. We made advertisements on TV, newspapers, radio including walls and bus stations and on every effective media.

In the last years the internet media started to be a main part from every serious campaign and if we are talking about a small business’ the internet became the leading part of any advertising action.

So in these days as the video is the leading content on the web we should understand and be smart separate some of the budget to video marketing and video promotion. As we already know video marketing is to post the video in a lot of website and video promotion is to promote the video in each website we chose and any important site for our target clients.

After our videos are uploaded to You Tube we should make some important actions in order to get the maximum results for it. Of course when we share our video with the world we have the interest to get the most possible views to the video, the more views and comments we have, the better branding we’ll have which will make all of the viewers potential customers, therefore helping us monetize our ROI campaigns.

When should users upload videos?

Users should upload video when they would like to tell something to the world as information, experts or personal knowledge.

Users should upload short videos when they would like to share something with the world. When you have information, humor, expert message, advertising of your business or your products, personal knowledge everything you like to share with the world you can create this message in a video and to upload it to websites as you tube, metacafe or any others video sharing website and share your story or your video message to the world.

When should users upload videos? Great question that the answer for this question is not an exact science, I’m always surprised from the new amazing of internet video tools and the UGC power. We just all saw a short time ago the two little British kids, Charlie and his brother (Charlie bit my finger) that almost 200 Million people watched their short video which their daddy uploaded to you tube, he never believed that his kids can be so popular and lovely until TV started presenting this video to the world. They are two nice brothers which became very famous in a minute. This is the power of the short videos, and should we upload our videos? Yes, all the time, we never know when this video can be a good success.

A couple of days ago I met a very nice professional guy which told me that he is very known, in the last months he was mentioned in the most popular businesses magazines and he is considered as leading in his professional field. We discussed about video marketing and about the video future and development, this guy is very talented and he understood immediately that he must get in to the video world. He knows that his competitors already do video marketing and he must be there as well, the main problem for him was to create the video. He likes to get the knowledge and assistance to create his videos, edit them and to be show the video on the best quality. I advised this lovely guy that he should start, that video can be very professional and less professional, and it’s like your internet website. You can create a site for $100,000 and you can create a site for $1000, it’s all a question of your quality and how much you would like to invest in it, the most important thing is that you should already create videos and upload them to the Internet.

The most videos you will upload to the internet which include your messages, products, keywords or your contents, the better branding you’ll have  on the internet. So the question is not if we should upload video, the question is how many videos we can upload each week to the internet? And the answer is as many as you can, of course it depends on your needs and your ability to create a video which will represent you in the right position and right quality.

MY tip for you is to start doing video contents and upload them to the internet, from time to time you will be able to create better videos and you will be more professional. From time to time it will be easier for you to create and to expose yourself to the world, you can do some tests and some editing to your videos until you will have your best videos but you must start doing your own video and your own activities on the video web.

Today Google, Yahoo and MSN including search engine Bing, all prioritize videos for their search results. Previously, first priority for tagging used to be texts and links.

In addition it’s not enough to just upload our videos to You Tube, Google or the other leading search engines scanning and tagging video from a lot of video sharing websites. If we want to get the maximum exposure and results we should post our videos on numerous video sharing sites. The more sites our videos will be seen on, the higher the chance they’ll have to be promoted on the search engines and thus increase the number of video viewers.
To get maximum exposure and views we should post our videos on many video sharing websites. We can do it by ourselves, register and open an account for every site, upload the videos or use automatic tools and online services.
