3. Basics
•
Video is one of the quickest and most powerful
ways to get your message out on the Internet.
•
The search engines love to display video in their
results.
•
You can position yourself as an expert in your
industry and get your audience to know, like and
trust you before they ever talk to you!
4. Keywords
•
Getting your videos found all has to do with the
content and keywords you use in your videos.
•
In 2010, Google implemented speech to text. This
was huge in how your videos get ranked.
5. Keywords
Where to use your keywords:
•
In the title
•
In the first 30 seconds
•
At least one more time in your video
•
In your description
•
In your tags
6. Design
•
Design your videos around your keywords
•
Research what keywords you can rank for (higher
search volume, low competition)
•
Decide on how many videos you can produce. Do
you have the time and knowledge to do it or do
you need to hire someone?
7. Design
•
Add a music background to your video. A subtle
music track is very powerful and it will create a
better overall video. Use the same music for
“branding”.
8. Design
•
Make sure too have the proper lighting.
•
Don’t film outside unless it is appropriate for your
business (i.e a landscaper).
•
You can’t control the sun, the clouds or the noise
level. You may end up with shadows.
9. Design
•
Use a camera with an external microphone. The
audio quality is much better.
•
Refrain from wearing necklaces or jewelry that will
interfere with the mic.
10. Design
•
Wear solid colors but not white. Stripes and patterns
cause that motion effect on camera and are
difficult on the eye.
11. Design
•
Most videos should be :30 – 2:00 in length. If you are
giving a demonstration or showing a product, you
can do longer videos but you may want to break it
up into a series of videos instead.
12. Design
•
Always add an intro.
•
Always have a call to action and your website
and/or phone number at the end of the video.
•
Include your website in the description of the video.
Lead off with this and always start with http:// to
create a hyperlink.
13. Frequency
•
YouTube will reward you if you are continually
adding new content (just like Google hmm).
•
Adding a weekly video will definitely keep your
channel fresh.
•
If you can upload video more than once a week
that is great. For a really aggressive campaign, you
may want to try every other day.
14. Distribution
•
The search engines do not just display videos that
come from YouTube but other sites as well.
•
Each site you upload your video to creates a
backlink for you as well.
•
Remember to add your description and tags to
each site when you upload your videos.
