Video is the future of the internet and a recent study showed that mobile users alone will consume 1.3 billion gigabytes of video a month by 2017. That means if you want to be competitive then you will need to get up to snuff and the fastest way to start using online video to market your brand is to use YouTube. If you truly want to have a great YouTube Marketing campaign, you'll need these basic tips.
YouTube has a variety of options available to users that want to promote their brand. With over 110 million unique visitors a month, each watching up to 65 videos, there are ample opportunities for your videos to be seen and for you to increase your brand awareness. The first thing you need to do is be there. Create a user account, open a channel and configure it to your needs and make it look how you want.
YouTube has a search algorithm that includes the optimization of the following: Title, Description, tags, Number of views and Rating. When you are first creating and uploading you only have control over the first three. The last two come later but you can help yourself in this regard. Make sure that the content is interesting and that it makes people want to interact and respond. If your creative quality is low and your content either uninteresting or uninformative, you simply won't get the views and ratings you need to make your YouTube Marketing campaign successful. The best idea for content? A How-To video. They generally get loads of views and if you can tie your brand into it then you're on the road to marketing success.
You not only need interesting content, you need to optimize for the search engines. Since YouTube processes over 3.5 billion searches a month it's the 2nd largest search in the world. Optimization means having a very good, concise title, highly relevant tags (keywords), and a great description. In regards o the description, it's always good to include a clickable link in the first 27 characters. Why 27? Well that's the length of descriptions prior to ellipsis (the three dots you click to read more). Use a major keyword or tag as the clickable link as well and it will save space and be useful.
Branding via URLs and phone numbers in your video is also a good idea. Also have a call-to-action which will lead people to your site and services in the video. Make sure you get the branding or call-to-action in the thumbnail as well. When you have your videos available, dropping links on popular videos helps, but be careful, don't make them look like spam. If your product or brand ties into other popular videos in some way, make spin-off videos. That will get you listed in related videos and more visibility.
