Use Videos For Search Engine Marketing

By: Lee MacRae Home | Business | Marketing


When you look around the World Wide Web today, more and more you see videos being used to promote a business, website or a particular product. Do videos really help in search engine marketing? how would you go about promoting yourself or your website through a video marketing campaign?

There are definitely a number of areas where a video is a great tool, and probably the best tool to promote a service or a product. Think back to the television commercials that demonstrated various cooking utensils that cut and diced potatoes or vegetables. Think about how they use to change the various blades to cut various products or different shapes. Obviously this kind of product lent itself better to a demonstration visually than a textual one. So, in any situation where it would be better to show and demonstrate your product or service, video would be the best tool to use. If you're selling software, you can lead viewers screen by screen to show just exactly how the user can access all the features of your program. This is particularly important to convince those who are not good with computer programs, to show how easy yours will be for them. Video lends itself to that type of training very well.

Trust can be another area where videos can serve you better than text or even an image. If you're promoting yourself as an expert or as a life coach, for example, what better way to demonstrate your techniques and expertise than a sample video lesson? you'll notice that various television commercials use the owner of the company standing in front of the camera, speaking to his potential customers in attempt to gain trust and convince them he is an honest individual. This is a great way to put a personal face on a product or a service, ultimately resulting in the closing of more sales.

Videos definitely can be a great marketing tool. One of the inherent problems of course, is that videos can be quite large and put a great deal of strain on your host's capacity. You can end up spending a lot more money than you expected because of the extra bandwidth these views create for your website account. The answer here is to simply upload your product demonstrations or lessons to a free video site like YouTube. People viewing the video on YouTube can be presented with your website's URL and then visit your site for more information or to make a purchase. If you're using affiliates, they can embed these YouTube videos into their own sites very easily, effectively promoting your product and driving more traffic to your website.

There is definitely a great advantage for many businesses in using video to demonstrate a product or service or to create trust. Don't continue to just wonder if video will enhance your business model, get involved in creating videos now to leverage this powerful new medium into higher website traffic and ultimately more sales. If you have the expertise or have the will to learn, videos can bring a great return on the investment in your time.
