Video Marketing is more than uploading your videos into YouTube with the correct  tags and telling family and friends to comment on them.

If done correctly, it is a simple and highly effective website marketing strategy that will generate tons of target traffic to your site and increase your site’s ranking quickly. This is due to the fact that videos are indexed by the search engines within minutes.

7 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD INCLUDE VIDEO IN YOUR MARKETING CAMPAIGN:

1. It attracts a broad cross section of people – most of us would rather ‘watch’ than ‘read’. This method also appeals to people that are more visual.

2. Allows ‘Face to Face’ interactive marketing – it allows you to add your personality to your message. By conveying emotion through your message you can set off emotional triggers and influence decisions.

3. Helps You Rank Fast With Search Engines – Google recently introduced Universal Search, which means that videos now appear in the search result pages and because videos are indexed in minutes, it can help your site rank faster.

4. Allows You To Become An Expert – by creating high quality videos that your visitors want and need, you will soon become known as the expert in your niche. This is a crucial aspect of your personal brand marketing and should not be ignored. For this, it is important that your videos present you in a good light. You must come across confident and credible – remember, practice makes perfect!

5. Offer Solid Evidence And Credibility – a video can be used to demonstrate how a product or service works, it can offer customer reviews or social proof (testimonials). When a video offers proof, the message is perceived as  providing solid evidence of the product’s ability to solve a particular problem and being simple to use for example. This sets off emotional triggers, which ultimately influence buying decisions.

6. Portability And Flexibility – because videos nowadays can be downloaded into a range of devices from laptops to ipods and cell phones, etc. they allow the viewer to access the content any time and anywhere.

7. Re-Use Your Content – Convert your written content into a video production by talking about it in a video clip or creating a slide show and then uploading it onto video sharing sites like YouTube. This will allow you to direct additional traffic to your original content and to your site – i.e. Blog post.
