This is something that happens --- and it can be confusing.
Yet, at the same time, its somewhat of a compliment. I mean, someone actually took the time to snag your video and duplicate it all over the web.
The question is.... should you really be angry?
Or should you be elated.
That depends on the message in your video. If it is meant for private eyes then you have a right to be protective. But if you are really in the mode of getting the word out then you should be ecstatic.
WHAT IS VIRAL MARKETING?
Last year I had a woman at a health food market fly into a state of panic. She was upset about the term, Viral Marketing, because lets face it - this just sounds bad.
The thought of viral marketing sounds too close to virus -- or computer virus. That is really not what the term means at all. What this really means is that you have a great idea, (in the form of a video, ad, article etc.) and it gets picked up and distributed for you on other websites.
This actually means more reach for your video - more customers - and getting the word out
in droves.... while you do absolutely nothing but sit back.
**** CAN BUSINESS COME FROM THIS? *****
Yes !! Im at home watching the Star Wars films with my family on Labor Day weekend, and I just got off the phone with some guy I never met before. He has connections to some properties that interest me. He found me through my online media.....
This is something that can work for you too. This is another form of search engine optimization that can work for your real estate campaign. This enables you to have many fingers stretched out on the web.
Well if you wanted to get the word out there, it is great! However, if you are being supplanted by someone using your work for their gain without any recognition to you - tear them up.
