1. Create 10 “little” videos each promoting some aspect of your product or service. He suggests doing a 10 part FAQ (questions your prospects would like answers to). Each questions gets a video. Keep them short. I would say about a minute at most. There’s nothing sacred about the number 10 here. It just means “create a bunch” – the more the better.

2. Create 10 more “little” videos that answer the “should” questions. These are the questions they should be asking but don’t know to ask. Yea, I know, the distinction between the first 10 and the 2nd 10 is not too clear. But it just means this: give them more information…stuff they don’t know, to establish that you know what you’re talking about.

3. Then Create 4 more “little” videos for your capture system:

Video 1 – “To Get More, Go Here” video – this will be tacked onto each of your 20 videos. You say, “If you like this video, I’ve got 20 more at this location. Go here to get them (sign up).”

Video 2 – “Sign Up Here” video – The first one sends them to this one. This one pitches them on how to get the rest of the videos. It’s a lead capture pitch video.

Video 3 – “Thanks for Signing Up” video – This goes on your “thank you” page which comes up after they sign up. It says “Thanks for signing up. The first video is on its way…”

Video 4 – “Buy My Stuff” video – This is a pitch for your product(s). This can be used wherever you think it is appropriate.

 Joe Whyte created a Guide to Video Marketing on Youtube a couple of months ago and has some very good information. One of the things he focuses on is the importance of building your Youtube profile. As with all social sites, the more “friends” and followers you have, the more exposure your posts and comments are going to get – since there are ways of spreading the word to your little community (”sharing”) every time you add something to your profile.

He also suggest you use your friend and contact lists on other sites like Digg, StumbleUpon and Twitter to notify them when you’ve posted a new video.

Joe has done at least two more posts on video marketing on Youtube…

Video Marketing Resources

It seems odd to me that Wilson mentions two important web hosting services, but does not mention the free web-hosting services provided by the major video-sharing sites (such as Youtube, Revver, etc.) There’s no doubt that the inclusion of screencast.com is important because if you are doing screen captures – especially using Camtasia – most video sharing sites I have tried do not handle these videos adequately at all.

The reason is that Camtasia uses its own special codec which results in excellent quality video. But when you upload this to a site like Youtube, it gets converted into a different format and is published in a much smaller size. Unless you design your screen capture from the beginning for this smaller size it will be pretty ineffective when Youtube, etc. get through with it.

There is also a list of some pretty good resources for video production, including indepth technical articles at WebVideoUniverse.com and Wilson’s own resource materials found at Video and Audio on Websites.

Our new “Video Traffic Multiplier” uses the power of online video to build your online presence, grow the links pointing at your website, improve your search engine rankings, and increase your traffic.

Here’s how Video Traffic Multiplier works…

First, we create short videos for you and upload them to popular sites like Youtube. These videos are simple, powerful and straight to the point. They promote your products or services with sound and pictures, music and professional voice over. And they point directly to your website to drive traffic to you.

Videos get traffic in two important ways. First, people look at them. Your videos are uploaded to all the major video sharing sites – like Youtube, Revver, Metacafe, Google Video, and many others, and they get spread all over the internet where they are seen by potentially thousands of people.

Second, they score well in the search engines for your most important keywords. Videos are hot with the search engines and they get good rankings. So when someone does a search for your keyword, your video is likely to get good ranking and get clicks.

Third, they point to your website. This drives traffic to your site, as well as building links that improve the ranking of your site. That means more traffic to your website.
“Video Traffic Multiplier” is light years ahead of a standard link building program. It gives you two new professionally produced videos every month, and it promotes your videos so targeted viewers will see your message and click through to learn more about your product or service.

Put the power of the Video Traffic Multiplier to work for you right now.

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…

See more VIDEO SAMPLES HERE.

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.
