Make Money on YouTube in 3 Steps

Submitted by: Dhruv Patel

You Tube looks costly, but it is very simple to make money using this effective marketing tool. Once you have created your own video you can start making money through advertising. How to start and implement these things into action to make money? Read the following three steps.

1] First find out a suitable niche for your business. You can choose niche on any theme including craft, art, movie, current news, hobbies, investment, entertainment, music etc. Explain your theme in detail and also about yourself through your video channel. The video should be entertaining and informative to the audience. The video should be created including the keyword concept. So, even before creating and uploading your video you should do keyword research and find out keyphrases that is suitable for your niche. You should also create keyword tags which are necessary to create more traffic to your video. The keyword tags are useful in creating backlinks to your video.

2] YouTube will help you to create friendly relationship with your user. You can use this to your maximum benefit by interacting with your viewers. Watch other videos and comment on the videos. Also share your views on the videos that you feel worthy and subscribe them to your website. If the audience feels it worthy, they will try to visit your site.

3] You can make money by placing advertisement in your YouTube. It takes few days or months to get this status. When the views on your video increases, at one stage YouTube will notify you that your video is ready for placing advertisement on it. The advertisement will appear at the bottom of the screen even while your video is running. When the user clicks the advertisement, you will get money for every click.

The income you fetch through advertising in YouTube is small in the initial stage. This can be increased by uploading more videos and adding more subscribers. When you upload more videos and get more views, automatically you will get more advertising opportunity. At one stage, you will find that your goal is achieved. You will have more viewers to view your video and more people to click the advertisement. Thus, in few months you will be able to make big income through YouTube.

YouTube is not only used as a weapon to make money through advertising. It is also used for various other purposes. You can create brand name and reputation to your business through YouTube. The title of your YouTube should be given importance targeting the search engine spiders. It should contain the keyword that you have got through your research. Even after submitting your video the keyword should be tracked since there are chances for the search engine spiders to change its algorithm. Now, YouTube videos also appear in search engine results page. Hence, it is an effective tool to drive traffic and make profit.

If you are not using YouTube to promote your product or make money online through advertising, then you are definitely missing some golden moments in the internet market.

Is The Online Video Advertising And Web Video Marketing Trend Relevant To Your Business?

Submitted by: Scott Lundergan

Over the past six years, I have been quite fortunate to go behind-the-scenes of over 200 companies and see how they deliver their message along with being able to see what's working and what's not working for them. Out of all those companies, I have edited different themed marketing videos for both offline and online businesses alike through my background in marketing and video production as a Producer and Editor. Several entrepreneurs are asking me if the new wave of online video advertising and website video marketing has anything to do with them and if it will effect them. They are also asking what are the real benefits of it and if it can even be used in their particular niche.

Online video advertising has seen a positive acceptance as we move to the Web 2.0 Phase, but what I tell these small to mid-size e-commerce businesses is to really focus on website video marketing instead for now. The reason I say this is that once companies have the right videos on their websites to test and track conversions, they can use that as a springboard to see if video advertising will be right for them over the next few years.

Right now, the acceptance of website video marketing is being taken advantage of by smart marketers and online businesses for several already known reasons along with integrated strategies within their own business or sales funnel. I'll give a brief overview of both.

Some already known reasons on why video works within the web for e-commerce and direct sales is to educate consumers (edu-selling), building trust, informing web viewers about exactly what they want to hear without them getting lost in a long and boring sales copy while adding the human approach. Consumers appreciate companies that get to the point efficiently and clearly, how to navigate sites and how to get from Point A to Point B without the consumer getting lost. Statistics average that 70% of people are visual learners and can understand what they see in a visual way and more effectively, when it includes the narration or text overlay that connects the marketing message together in the mind of the consumer.

E-commerce, direct sales and multimedia marketing businesses use integrated strategies of video within their sales copy to give visual cues and careful placement so consumers know when to do what with a laser-focused call-to-action along with testimonial videos (the most powerful testimonial there is) that blend right in with the sales copy. Using video messages within the short opt-in form can replace a long sales copy on "Why you should give me your email address." Consumers tend to appreciate this on opt-in pages because it takes down their skepticism and reassures them that they are giving their email to a real business who has invested time in providing value for them.

When seeing how your competitors, e-commerce and direct sales companies use creative video advertising and marketing solutions, ask yourself how video will differentiate you from everyone else and what direct response or branding message would be the most effective to get consumers to take action.

The 10 Best Video Hosting Sites For Social Video Marketing

Submitted by: K. Pearce

Social video marketing is one of the hottest emerging trends in 2011. Marketing executives are finally realizing the power of online video to engage their audience, increase brand awareness and improve the reach of their social media efforts.

If you want to promote your latest online video with social video marketing then these video hosting sites are your best options:

1. Youtube

Youtube continues to dominate the online video space. With over 2 billion videos watched every day on the site, no other site comes close. Every video marketing campaign should use Youtube because it offers the best opportunity to capture a large audience.

2. Vimeo

Vimeo is a more social-based video hosting website. It tends to be the favorite of independent producers and it has some of the highest quality short films on the Internet. I think overall Vimeo has the best looking embeddable player of all the video hosting and sharing sites.

3. MetaCafe

Metacafe is one of the world's largest video sites and has lots of short videos, funny movies and clips. This site also has a social-focus and integrates with Facebook so that every time you upload a video, it can automatically be sent to your Facebook Page.

4. BlipTV

Blip TV is a free video blogging, podcasting and video sharing portal. They also have a decent revenue sharing program. If you have a regular online TV show, Blip TV is a great platform because they make it easy to distribute your show across the web.

5. DailyMotion

DailyMotion has one of the largest collections of music videos, short movies and extreme sports videos on the Internet. They offer many of the features of Youtube and the other video hosting websites. They are based in Europe.

6. Revver

Revver tends to collect videos from other video sharing sites but they also have a massive collection of videos uploaded by their users. They have an interesting revenue sharing program where an unobtrusive ad is shown at the end of your video and if anyone clicks on the ad, you get a 50% share of the revenue. They also offer unlimited video storage and file size.

7. Google Video

While overshadowed by Youtube, Google's other video site still gets significant traffic and ranks well in Google Search. Google Video has many of the features of Youtube but with more specific content categories like Business, Documentary, Educational, Music, Comedy, etc.

8. Veoh

Veoh has made a name for itself by hosting TV and film studio content but it also has lots of independent films and user-uploaded videos.

9. Viddler

Videler is an easy-to-use video platform for promoting your online videos. They really focus on helping people and brands with social video marketing. To help you with this they offer detailed video analytics, ad revenue sharing and better support than most of the other video sites. You can customize the embeddable player, overlay your logo and easily link back to your website.

10. LiveVideo

LiveVideo is another great option to upload your videos. Unlike many other video sharing sites they offer dofollow links to help boost your website ranking.

Online Video Marketing - Emailing Your Video

Submitted by: Lorraine Grula

Video is a proven online marketing winner. Over and over again, video has shown itself to be superior over other methods of online communication. So obviously, being able to email your list a video is high on many people's priority lists. Problems is, how do you do it?

Video files are WAY to big to send with emails as a standard attachment. Unless your video file is extremely small, I would not advise attempting to email it like you do a still picture or document attachment.

Generally, most videos that do get emailed are in the form of a .wmv file. This stands for Windows Media Video and is one of the smallest video files. It also has pretty bad resolution, which is why it is so small. So for that reason,.wmv videos that get emailed are usually jokes and not professional videos.

Most internet video sharing sites will let you email video, but you can not import a large list, you can only send it to a few people at a time. What does get sent is usually a link to the video, not the video itself. so if this method is good enough for You Tube, it is good enough for you.

What about embed code, you ask? Embed code is generally how you put video onto a website. So will it work in an email? Unfortunately, no. It's not a good idea to add the embed code into your email the same way you embed it into a web page. This is because both ISPs and email software block video embed code so chances are high your email will not get through and it will not play.

SO HOW IS IT DONE?

The easiest way to email your video is to email a link to your video and not the video itself. So if your video is hosted by You Tube, send the link to the You Tube page that contains your video. This is how You Tube does it if you use their share video feature.

A text link would be added just like any other text link, with hyperlinked keywords or HTML messages. A full URL address would need to be used for a plain-text email message.

Of course, many people might think mailing out just a link is too boring. Well, maybe so. To make it look more exciting, use an image link instead of just a test link. The still image will appear to be a video player in your email, but it's not really, it is just the thumbnail.

To do this with an auto-responder service, you need to upload the still image to your website image folder and put a link to that image inside your email message. That should automatically show when someone opens the email. (Not always though, some email clients block images.) So make sure you give your image a title that will make it understood even if the image is blocked. Click here to watch the video would work.

Doing it this way is probably the single best way, although it can get a bit tricky. Including the thumbnail as a still image and having it be an active link to the actual video is the best way to email your video without emailing your video, if that makes sense.

The thumbnail image is instantly recognizable as a video, a plain link is not. So including the thumbnail will instantly tell anyone who opens the email that it contains video whereas if you just have a link, that won't happen.

E-mailing a video is a good idea though, either way. Mailing out the link to the video is certainly better than not using video at all.
