How To Attract More Viewers For Your Videos

Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:59:07 GMT

One of the simplest ways to attract more viewers lies in not ignoring a small but larger-than-you-likely realize segment of your potential market: Namely, those who are still on dial-up. While admittedly a small segment of the global population, their business can boost your sales more than you might think possible. One of the strongest reasons? You'll be providing a service 98% of all other video marketers ignore - making your videos much easier to load and view for those to whom a 5-minute video load can often equal over an hour of waiting time. "Get over it. Get high speed", is something you hear on forums, if those on dial-up dare to complain about load in times. But the simple truth is, there are those in rural areas all across North America for whom dial-up is still the only available service. Perhaps a tower has not yet been built, or geographic conditions just don't facilitate signal. It's not always about these viewers being "stubborn" or "cheap" - most of them would kill for high speed! How can you make your videos accessible to those on dial-up?

You'll speed up dial-up viewers' load in times considerably, if you provide a simple "low fidelity" option. And your high speed viewers can still access your high fidelity version.
Keep your video segments short. It's much easier to load in a 3-minute video than an 8.27 minute one. In fact, 3.46 minutes seems to be the cut-off time at which video views drop by half (as you'll quickly discover, if you spend a day browsing view rates and marketing video lengths on YouTube)
Allow purchasers to download video series you are selling in individual zip files, rather than one huge one. It can easily take 6 hours to download a 78 mb zipped video file containing 12 "lessons" for someone on dial-up... and chances are, they'll sit through that (on the rare occasions they're dedicated - or foolish - enough to try, only to find that their rural phone line couldn't sustain the download... leaving them with a corrupt, inaccessible file to show for all that effort. (Nothing is more frustrating!)
Let them know your video files are "dial-up friendly". Mention it in your sales pitch; on your web page; in your blog... or even in your signature! (What's the use of creating short, low fidelity videos - if nobody knows you have them?)

Believe me, the sort of gratitude you'll get may not propel you towards a six-figure income, but these dial-up viewers will get high speed eventually - and you'll have earned their loyalty and dedication for life!

Making Video Marketing Work for You

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 11:09:38 GMT

You've decided to make a video this time, to help sell your product. If you're nodding you're head in agreement, I've got three words of advice: "Just do it!"

It doesn't matter if you have the latest software or a top-of-the-line camcorder. It doesn't even matter if you've made a video before. The truth is, teens and pre-teens are uploading home-made videos to YouTube every day - and getting views that would make many marketers drool with envy! There are 3 main keys to making a video that gets views:

Keep it real. Your honesty and enthusiasm are what will help sell your product - not whether or not you can out-direct Quentin Tarantino.
Promote it. Create a buzz. You can bet that's what the "kids" are doing - telling all their friends, announcing the video using YouTube's "Share" feature, talking about it on Facebook, leaving comments on other similar or related videos in their YouTube group...
Make it interesting. It can be as flawed as all get out, production wise, but if it's interesting - even if you have to stand on your head and juggle with your feet - it will get views. (And if it's interesting enough, it may go viral!)

Here are some solid tips to help you get started... The Most Importing Tip For Making a Successful Video - First Time Use a storyboard or rough script. If you've never made a video before, chances are, you're going to either ramble on, using up precious seconds - and rambling will tip your video firmly over into the "boring" camp - or miss out vital information. Using a storyboard or rough script will help you:

Stick to the point
Include everything you need included

If you are a "visual" learner, use a story board - quick, scribbled thumbnail sketches ("stick people" are fine) showing each point in "frames" (think of it as a comic book page). If you do better with lists, use a rough script. This is not the sort of script you read word for word - doing that would ensure you ended up with a "wooden", deadly dull video. Rather, just a reminder of the key points you need to include (such as your call to action, and website URL). Shoot your video, edit, upload to YouTube - and promote. The important thing to remember in all of this is... yup, you got it: "Just do it."
