What is Video Marketing?

Video Marketing is one of the most important and most powerful method for promoting your business, blog or service through videos. These videos will help you to get listed by the major search engines in a really short time and drives million of people to your blog with less effort. Videos can be shared with other people on social media sites or through cell phones. This opportunity makes your videos and also your blog or business viral. Think about this before creating your videos!

First, brainstorm what your video message should build in the mind of your viewers. What are people searching for? Should your video be funny, crazy or helpful, or is a combination more powerful? What, if the intro of your video is funny and will therefore been shared with more people than a plain sales video. What do you think? Do you get the idea?

Getting started:

Important is that you start. Take a blank sheet of paper and write down all your ideas. Write fast and don’t try to think if this is professional or not,  just write down all your ideas. You can rework it later. When finished, read it. Go to your kitchen and drink something. Read it again.

How to create videos for promoting your business?

The Tools:

Everybody, who has a computer, has installed an office software like MS Office or the free Open Office software. As part of this office package you can create presentations with Power Point.

Use PowerPoint to create small presentations about your blog, product, business or service. When designing these presentations, place some pictures (include yours too) and text, if possible include a little bit music or a free jingle.

Note: When using music or jingles in your videos, think about the copyright!!!!

You can create funny or crazy videos or videos that looks more more professional.

The structure of your presentation should include:

• An Eyecatching Header Graphic (you can create your own => Header Graphic)
  
• Your Picture (shoot it with your webcam or your cell phone)
  
• A Headline, which grabs the attention from the viewer (guide to an effective Headline=> Headline)
• the Benefits
