I. Video marketing content for you! 
Want to crank up your video marketing a notch? Want to get better 
traction and more interaction? Then this post is the answer to your video 
content marketing dreams. 
I’ve shared what to use when you don’t want to do video,how to 
optimize video for search and how to use Magisto, but what if you’re 
looking for some a little different, perhaps something more creative? 
Here are fifty creative video marketing ideas you can try, remember to 
tweak and adapt them to your industry for the best results. 
1. Host a video contest and publish the best video. This can generate 
a lot of fun and buzz while getting you a great cloud-sourced video ad. 
For a great example of this, see the Gmail video contests or do a search 
for the Marie Forleo B-School scholarship videos.

2. Do a parody or remix of a popular video. If you can parody a 
popular video right as it’s taking off, you can often get hundreds of 
thousands of hits. My favourite is the Instagram Song, sung to the tune 
of Nickleback’s Photograph. 
3. Upload a few video testimonials. Having others see how much 
people love your product or service can have a powerful effect and video 
testimonials are almost impossible to fake. 
4. Do a how-to video series. People love learning, especially on a 
specific topic that they’re passionate about. 
5. Demonstrate a product. It can either be your own or someone 
else’s. Demonstrate it via GoogleHangout Live and then share it 
in blog posts and via your You Tube Channel. 
6. Answer common questions. Do one video per question, or a bunch 
of questions in one video like I do on my social media hangouts 
7. Address common objections to taking action. Find out what 
excuses people commonly have to not taking action and tackle them 
head on in a video. 
8. Reconrd an inspirational speech on video. 
9. Subtitle an existing video. If there’s an existing video in your 
market, one quick way to get a lot of views is to reproduce it with 
subtitles. Make sure there are no copyright issues before doing this. 
10. Tell a story visually. Use a storyboard to walk them through a 
story that has a lesson in the end. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 2
11. Do a stop motion graphic. These are very difficult to create, but 
have a tendency to go viral when they’re done well. 
12. Hire a professional voiceover from Fiverr. If you have just the 
visuals and don’t want to use your personal voice, get someone from 
Fiverr to do the voiceover for just $5. 
13. Get someone else on camera to teach. Have someone well known 
in your industry teach on camera. 
14. Create a slideshow video. Use a slideshow from PowerPoint to 
create a video. Narrate each slide to walk people through the slides. 
15. Guide someone through an experience. For example, a guided 
meditation or a guided writing exercise. 
16. Do a membership that ships a video every month or a video 
exclusive newsletter 
17. Use video on your sales page and squeeze page. You can often get 
higher conversions through video landing pages than any other kind of 
landing page. 
18. Show the behind the scenes of your business. People love seeing 
the nitty gritty of how things are done. 
19. Let them get to know your team. Introduce other people in the 
office on video show them who answers the phones and who packs the 
deliveries. 
20. Plan and perform a publicity stunt. Do something gutsy in public 
and film it. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 3
21. Piggyback off a popular current topic. For example, do an election 
video during the elections. 
22. Do a screencast. Record your screen while demonstrating 
something, teaching your customers a new skill is always a winner. 
23. Tell a story from your life about your topic. 
24. Share a random thought or rant. Don’t edit the video, be totally 
uncut. 
25. Say something controversial or take an uncommon stance 
26. Do a timelapse video. Setup a video camera and let it film for a 
long time, then condense it all into a few minutes. 
27. Prove or disprove a myth. 
28. Pose a puzzle or question. Then answer the question in a later 
video. This gets a lot of people involved and also gives you the chance 
to provide content later. 
29. Show and tell your tools. For example, if you’re teaching how to 
fish, do a video specifically on all the different kinds of rods, reels and 
baits. 
30. Talk about a mistake you saw someone make. Dissect it and show 
them how to avoid that mistake for themselves. 
31. Do a public poll and film it. Go into the public and ask people their 
opinions on a certain topic. Post it to show what popular opinion is in a 
certain field. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 4
32. Ask employees of distributors questions. For example, if you have 
a fishing site, call up the fishing rod manufacturer and ask them 
questions about the rods. 
33. Host an in person competition and put that on video. For example, 
have a fishing contest, interview the winner and put the whole thing on 
video. 
34. Issue a challenge and ask people to submit videos. For example, 
challenge your audience to catch a certain sized fish using only a certain 
bait. Whoever can show video proof wins a prize. 
35. Give advice to yourself from when you first started. Film a video 
as if you were talking to a past self, then publish that video. 
36. Explain the theory behind something. Instead of just teaching how 
to, share the why. 
37. Talk about the emotional difficulties clients may face on their 
journey. 
38. Do something ridiculous on video. Make it funny or just plain 
outrageous. 
39. Post a video response. If your response is good, it might get picked 
up in the “related videos” tab and get a lot of views. 
40. Explain the laws around your industry. 
41. Cover an event. For example, a live seminar, conference or trade 
show. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 5
42. Have people hold up index cards with statements. You’ll need at 
least a dozen to make a good video. 
43. Video blog your entire day. Then speed it up and show people 
what your day is like. 
44. Impersonate someone. For example, if you’re a piano teacher, try 
dressing up like Lady Gaga or Elvis for a lesson. 
45. Unbox a product. Unpack a new product while explaining exactly 
what makes it special. A product reveal is always popular with die-hard 
fans 
46. Do a hidden camera video of something. For example, go behind 
the curtains at a concert and show people what that’s really like. 
47. Introduce yourself to your audience. Tell them who you are and 
what you care about. 
48. Make a list video. For example, 25 tips on how to do X. 
49. Co-ordinate with other successful video producers. Publish the 
video to both of your lists to get more reach. 
Okay, that’s 49 creative video marketing ideas from me… I’d like one 
from you now. Leave your creative video marketing idea as a comment.

II. Video marketing tips 
#1: Make your title count 
Just like a headline to a blog post, 
video titles can pull powerful 
traffic. There are two main reasons 
why the title is so important. One, 
a great title can instantly grab a 
viewer’s attention. 
Two, when you use the appropriate keywords in your title, you are more 
likely to show up on search engines when people are searching for your 
topic. And remember Google owns YouTube, so there’s a story 
connection between video and searching. 
#2: Provide excellent content 
Take some time to think about your ideal viewer. What do you know 
that they’ll find valuable? What can you teach them? “How-to” videos 
are extremely successful because not only do they offer great value to 
your viewer, but also you’re able to showcase your knowledge and skill, 
thus positioning yourself as an expert. This is key as you continue to 
grow your brand. 
#3: Include your URL in your video 
When you edit your video, take advantage of the different editing 
features. One easy feature is to add a text box to your video. This is 
where you can display your website address and it’s a great way to get 
exposure. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 7
Here’s a screen shot of Mari Smith’s YouTube channel. Notice how she 
used a text box in her video to display key information, including her 
website URL at the end of her video. Smart move! 
#4: Take advantage of video’s branding opportunities 
For branding purposes, have your company logo displayed prominently 
somewhere on the screen. You can do this at all times, or during key 
times in your video. 
In the image below, notice how the company logo is displayed in the 
upper-left corner. You can display your logo throughout your video or 
only at key times. 
#5: Always provide an HTML link 
When you post on YouTube, you have the option to write a short 
description of your video. Always start with the link you want to drive 
your viewers to so you don’t miss this key opportunity. 
Here’s a snapshot of the description boxes from one of my YouTube 
videos. Notice the placement of my website URL (it’s the first thing 
you want to put in the box!) and the keywords I used in my title as well 
as the description. 
#6: Go beyond YouTube 
Most people post their videos on YouTube. In addition to this, make 
sure to always embed your video on your own website. This will 
increase the amount of time people spend on your website and help grow 
a captive audience. 
Video marketing. Free pdf download examples Page 8
Also, Google’s algorithms consider how many times a video is viewed, 
and embedded video views you receive get added to the ‘views’ tally on 
YouTube. This is important for showing up in Google search results!
