Your YouTube Marketing Strategy with 5 Easy Tips

YouTube Marketing Strategy: 5 Easy Tips

Do you have a YouTube video marketing strategy for your business? If not, you should reconsider that. YouTube is a great way to market your business, products, or services. Many businesses understand the powerful impact videos have, and leverage it to their advantage.

And, you can too!

YouTube Video Marketing Strategies: Get it Right

First YouTube Video Marketing Strategy

Make it clear what it is you're promoting. Although some popular videos seem to have nothing to do with the products they promote, they will make a point by the end of their video. You should do the same. At the very least, include your URL within your video and optimize the video description so people can get to your website.

Second YouTube Video Marketing Strategy

Make your video entertaining. Entice people to watch it. People enjoy seeing real people in real situations. Word of mouth is the top marketing tool, and people love to share videos they enjoy with their friends. And it's free!

Focus on making it realistic and use the appropriate tags and categories in the right way. Tags is what the search engines use to find your video. Never use random tags. They need to have something to do with the video people are watching. The tags cover all parts of the video. For instance, if you are marketing real estate in Portland, make your tag words have something to do with real estate, Portland, houses, and buying property.

Third YouTube Video Marketing Strategy

Never underestimate the power of promoting yourself. Add your URL to every outgoing email you send. If you belong to any groups, the URL should be part of your signature. Your presence will help drive traffic.

Finally, if you create an awesome marketing video and people watch it, word of mouth will take it further. Remember your audience when you are making your video.

YouTube Video Marketing Tips

Most of the YouTube viedeos are shot by amateurs and are low-budget. That doesn't mean that there isn't much work involved to create them. There are ways to make your videos effective. Keep these tips in mind when creating your YouTube video.

Tip #1 Do Something a Little Different

To make your video stand out, you need to stand out yourself. Don't just film yourself sitting on a couch, talking. That's boring and it's been done before.

Instead, try to find an interesting background. Use some interesting music that goes along with your video. Even if you are making an informational or educational video you should be able to find ways to make it entertaining.

The last thing that you want to do is to stand in front of the camera and talk as if you are giving a speech.

Tip #2 Make Sure That You Dress for Success

If you're going to make a professional marketing video directed towards a corporate setting, dress like it. It's important to dress properly so your audience can connect with you better.

Remember, to be viewed as an expert in your niche, you need to look like an expert in your niche. For example, if you are a mechanic, it's okay to wear your uniform. If you are an executive financial planner, wearing a T-shirt and cutoffs isn't saying much about your expertise.

Whatever is appropriate for your audience connect with you will work.

Tip #3 Don't Just Advertise

People don't come on to YouTube to watch advertisements. They have regular commercials and late-night infomercials for that. For YouTube, you need something entertaining.

Tip #4 Video Quality

Your video doesn't have to be stiff-looking, but it shouldn't be shoddy work either. The audience must be able to hear the audio and clearly see you on the screen. This means no bad lighting.

Technology today makes it easier to create a nice quality video without costing you a small fortune. Audio and lighting are vital. Therefore, use a better microphone and a nice audio track to up-level the quality.

Tip #5 Keep it Short

Most successful YouTube videos are less than 5 minutes long. Even if your marketing video is educational or informational, make sure that it isn't needlessly long. For this reason, it might be helpful to write out a script first and then time it.

Conclusion

Video creation is easier than ever to develop. Don't be intimidated by the process. The best thing to do is to do research on videos in your niche. Don't copy - get inspired. Then, create your YouTube marketing strategy and map out the process.

7 Ways to Get More Blog Followers with Social Media Marketing

Amy Bair

I have been floundering around trying to make my gardening site profitable for two years and just could not get it to grow.

I spent tons of money on affiliate and website building programs but was getting nowhere.

I started working with Jen and David following their exact systems and saw exactly where I was going wrong AND what I needed to do to fix it.

In 30 days, I quadrupled my list and started making sales!

Percy Miller

NO ONE else is doing things online like you guys are doing it...You guys are building and teaching what I want to learn how to do with my online efforts...Today I saw the future!"

Shelley Merchant

I have wandered around blindly for over 4 years wondering why things weren't working...the things y'all teach are not being taught elsewhere. Instead, the advice is vague and leaves you feeling stupid because you're not figuring it out.

I cannot say enough good things...the only problem is that there's so much good stuff that I don't want to sleep b/c I want to learn it all.

I'm beginning to feel like a plan is forming and that I might actually make things work.

Benefits of Using YouTube for Business

There are many benefits of using YouTube for your business marketing. Number one is that it’s no secret that people love videos. If you haven’t considered using YouTube as part of your marketing strategy, now is the time to do it.

Think about your YouTube visits. Whether you need to see how to change the filter in your refrigerator or enjoy a cat video, YouTube has become a go-to for entertainment, funny videos, how-to solutions, and more.

The benefits of using YouTube for business mean you have another platform that people are familiar with and trust. Marketing your business, products, and services there simply makes sense.

What's holding you back?

Are you concerned about how to make a video? Should you hire a professional or do it yourself? What if you don't know anything about making a video, much less one that will make people visit your site? This article will look at the pros and cons of hiring a professional versus creating it yourself.

Pros and Cons of Hiring a Professional

Pros of Hiring a Professional to Create Your Marketing Video:

They have video creation experience.

Their ability to produce a professional video faster.

They know how to optimize your video on YouTube.

The software necessary to create a video is something they own.

They know all of the best tips and tricks of creating professional videos.

Depending on how in-demand they may be, it may take time for them to produce yours.

Cons of Hiring a Professional to Create Your Marketing Video:

Their rate for creating your videos may be quite high.

Depending on how in-demand they may be, it may take time for them to produce yours.

If you are new to working with this person, there may be a lot of back and forth proofing and editing to take place, slowing down the process.

Pros and Cons of Doing it Yourself

Pros of Doing it Yourself

More cost-effective, especially if you are on a tight budget.

You are in complete control of everything.

You can edit anything as you go along, saving you more money and time.

There are many video creation apps that are user-friendly and have tons of templates and voiceovers to select from. We love Vidnami, formerly known as Content Samurai. Click here to get a discount and learn more about Vidnami.

Cons of Doing it Yourself

Not knowing what to do or where to start.

Unprofessional-looking video.

Your lack of video experience may appear unprofessional and be a negative reflection of you and your business.

You will take a long time to create the video.

If you’ve never created a video before and are on a budget, perhaps you can reduce your cost of hiring a professional video producer by writing a script with the concept, provide images and graphics, and music. Then, hire a professional to take it from there, hopefully reducing their cost because you handled so much of the content.

If your budget doesn’t have room for this, there are thousands of websites, and you guessed it! YouTube videos to provide pointers and ‘how to create a YouTube video,’ along with ideas on how to market it.

YouTube Advertising Strategy

If you are new to the idea of having a YouTube advertising strategy, it’s never too late to start. There are free and paid options. The first step is to do a little research on YouTube to find what fellow niche-mates are doing on YouTube. Create a list of what you like and why, as well as what you DON’T like and why. Pay attention to the format and how they use a call to action for their viewer.

Hopefully, you are more comfortable about using videos in your marketing plan. Start with creating one video and note the process. As you begin more comfortable, you can add some slick features to your videos.

The good news is that if you want to create your own videos, there are hundreds of great apps and tools available that are designed user-friendly. Many are very cost-effective and have excellent training. As I mentioned earlier, we use Vidmani in our business.
