Have you heard about making money with online video?  Check this out!

Video marketing is a very popular way for business owners to get the word out about their products or opportunities. Many people, from home based business owners to large corporations, use this method of marketing and for many reasons.

* When prospects see an actual person offering the product, they feel more comfortable when deciding to buy the product.

o Videos, if marketed correctly, can bring in a ton of traffic to any website.

* Video marketing is a "set it and forget it" type of marketing. Once your videos has been approved and goes live, it is there for the long term and will bring traffic for many years to come.

So video marketing has many benefits and is proven to be very effective. But if no one ever sees the video, making the video was a waste of time. Driving traffic to the videos is just as important for videos as it is for other types of marketing. So how do we get traffic to the videos? :

o Send a message out to all of your contacts inviting them to check out your video. Ask them to comment and let you know what they think.

* Comment on other popular videos. There are videos that receive a lot of traffic on a regular basis. For some reason many of the viewers constantly look at the comments under the videos. Place intelligent comments under the videos and people will notice. This is a great way to build your brand.

* Bookmark videos. This helps to get backlinks to your video. This is great for seo. Videos get indexed with far less seo effort than regular websites.

Traffic is vital to the life of every website. But traffic is not enough. You can generate 3000 visitors to your website everyday but if the visitors aren't buying your product or signing up for your opportunity, then all of the hard work put in to generating the traffic was a waste of time. So here is the secret to converting visitors into sales:

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT!!!!

When people view a video, they chose to view it for a reason. Ask yourself a few questions:

* Who is viewing your videos?

o What do they want?

o Are you giving them what they want?

Most home based business owners sell their opportunities, but the problem is that many of the people that view their videos probably have already joined an opportunity or have already been offered many opportunities. Your videos must provide something of value. Give the people value. If they are already in an opportunity, then they don't want to hear about another opportunity. They want to learn how to make the most of their opportunity. Show them:

* How to get traffic to their websites.

o How to automate their business.

o The difference between free advertising and paid advertising.

Your videos should draw the people into thinking you are the expert. Once they believe that you are, they will follow you and eventually join your opportunity or buy your product. - 36041

Great to hear from you.  Are you building your own videos?  I'm trying to get my son who know a lot more about this than I do to start producing some for me.  Good success in your business.
