Reminder, Summer Video Challenge, Show Us Your Local & Bring in the Juice

Dont forget that the Summer Video Challenge deadline is rapidly approaching.

Many people have already completed the challenge and are already enjoying the extra attention from the folks over at Google and Youtube.

And we all have a few more days to get our entrys in before Saturday Night!

Here are a few random entries from this week

 

2013 Schedule of Hawaii's Long Distance Canoe Races in full swing

 

 

Wildlife Prairie Park in Central Illinois: Perfect Day Trip

 

***********************************************************

 

We all know how great local events are for attracting clients and bringing in the Google Juice and we have been told how much Google likes Video, so this Challenge is going to combine the two for a great dose of SEO for all of our businesses.

 

 

 

Our focus in this challenge is to shoot three short videos of something local and something showing some Summer Fun.

 

The Challenge

 

The subject of the videos can be anything local, fun and outdoors.

 

              A favorite hiking trail

 

              A summer celebration

 

              A great local park

 

              A cool neighborhood

 

              An Active Rain Meetup in Stevens Point

 

              Something local that sells your town is always a winner

 

              And lots more summer fun sights and events

 

Each video should be short, between 1-2 minutes.

 

Each Video will be accompanied with its own blog post.

 

Points

 

Since video is a tough obstacle for so many bloggers, and it is soo good for the Google Juice, Kerrie agrees that we should bribe our entrants well, with 800 points per video blog for a total of 2400 if you produce all three videos in separate blog posts.

 

After you complete all three videos and blogs, post the urls in the comments at http://activerain.com/blogsview/3802335/summer-video-challenge-show-us-your-local-bring-in-the-juice by 11:59 pm September 7th, 2013 and then sit back and watch the points add up on Active Rain and your Ranking on Google rise with each video.

Bob,

What a wonderful contest. Hyperlocal videos are sure to promote any realtor's business.

Bob I had every intention of making this happen and still just might find a way. With our new website and other events it's been a bit crazy...not to mention we're locked out of watching any youtube videos for some reason. Trying to work that through.  Great contest!!

Wow Bob I had forgotten that we even have a contest section to look at each month.  When the market got so crazy busy starting in January I will admit I dropped the ball on blogging.  I'll be back on target as soon as things slow again.... Heck who knows maybe I could slide a quick YouTube in.

Thanks Sarah and Lester, you are so right, hyper-local videos do attract the crowds!

Anna, I sure hope that the youtube problem works out, it would be a shame to miss out on this great tool for your business and fun.

John, I think I saw a great chili roasting video last week of your that would be perfect for this challenge.

Bob you said my post was featured here.  I did not see it.  You must have mixed me up with another.

Still working up the guts to learn how to upload, trim, add music and do this whole video thing. We did make some progress today as Sadie was a very good and patient model for me as I photographed and videoed her as my subject. She's not quite a local attraction, but she'll do :)
