This series of videos describes how to get a video running on your website - right from video creation to where your video should be hosted, to how you embed your video in your site. This is #1 in the series and discusses the pros and cons of self-hosting vs. hosting your video on a video-sharing site like Youtube or Revver.

Linknet Video Marketing

Here’s how we harness the power of online video to promote your product or service…

First, we create video features that have broad general interest. These are short features approximately 2 minutes long. Some of these are “news” items, some are “commentary”, some are “tutorials” others are essentially articles turned into videos. The object is to be informative and interesting and get people to look at them.

Here’s an example of a feature with 2 embedded client ads - one at the beginning and one at the end…

Then we create CLIENT VIDEO ADS that are attached to the feature videos. These are short and punchy and are laser-focused on your most important message. They include product information or special offers, and they always include your web address along with other contact information aimed at getting people to your site.

Client Ad Packages…

The client ad package includes concept and script writing, professional voice track, professional music track, assembly of video, encoding for online viewing. These videos do not include the shooting of original video footage or photographs. Because we want to keep the cost low we only work from already available photographs or video footage.

Our typical client ad package consists of 3 different versions: 10 sec, 20 sec and 30 sec. All versions of the completed client videos are available to clients in whatever format they desire (usually .wmv or flash) and are also hosted on one of our servers so clients can use them simply by linking to them.

For more details and pricing see Linknet Video.

Up To My Ears in Video

OK, so I’ve broken Rule #1 of the blogger’s handbook, “Thou shalt post to your blog on a regular basis.” Sorry, faithful readers but I haven’t been able to keep up. Two reasons:

1. I haven’t had much to say about SEO lately, and, more importantly,

2. I’ve been busy developing a completely new side of our online business (www.linknet-promotions.com), namely the video side.

Here’s an example of a quickie video we did for one of our clients…

I know, I know, everybody and his brother says video is really big and tremendously important, and a fantastic marketing opportunity. So all the gurus say it is critical to get on the video bandwagon (even though they often don’t use it properly themselves.) Continue Reading »
