Online Video is all the rage with over 31 billion views in November 2009. So why aren’t you using it to help market your company and products? You don’t know how? Well we can help you get started with these quick tips but if you really want to learn more head to a place like ReelSEO they have a huge assortment of articles and are experts in the industry.

Fit your video to your messages. You need to really know what it is you want to tell people and then use a specific type of video. Starting a new firm or launching a new product? You need some sizzle and could do well with something that leaves them wanting more information. Increasing awareness of your product or firm? Many viral videos are viral because they’re funny so this might be a good way to go. However, if you want to get valuable information about your products to the masses then you might do well with a video review to show how it works etc.

Once you have that sorted out you can move on to some of the other more technical issues. Be sure to give people some way to get more information. A link that leads them to your website, a discount or special package for those that watch the video all the way to the end. Chances are that if they’ve found your video about your product they are already looking to buy it or are doing research on a purchase.

Getting people to the video requires some search engine optimization. Including as much useful information as you can with the video is key here. A descriptive title, accurate keywords and a short but compelling description will help. So will subtitles or closed captions as they are generally text files that are fully indexable by search engines like Google. As an added bonus, they’re great to help spread the message without sound.

Viral videos are called so because they spread themselves meaning you don’t have to do all the work. You do have to give viewers ways to share those videos so they can go viral. Linking the video to YouTube, Twitter and Facebook is essential. Myspace is another outlet. By giving tools to the viewers you are enabling them to help you by spreading the word on their own. In the end it’s what’s needed to get the word out in a big way.

While these are only a few basics for getting started in online video marketing you can certainly find hundreds more. If you want to do it yourself you will need heaps of information which can be found online. If you are going to pay someone to create and manage the campaign for you, your best preparation is still to amass information so you know what you’re getting and how it’s working.

These are some tips to get started, but many prefer to work with an experienced video marketing agency. Successful video marketing requires professional production, optimization, and distribution. Contact the internet’s most trusted source for premium video marketing services, ReelSEO.com.
