Quick Video Marketing

You probably already know that video is huge! YouTube is the second biggest search engine after Google as more people plug into the video fix, it’s time if you’re not already doing so to get into video! 82% of people in the US watched an average of 9.7 hours of online video in August 2009 with consumption in the UK equally high (source *comscore)

There’s no excuse now that Flip Cameras are so affordable, editing can be done on imovie for the mac and windows movie maker, or Flip’s own software. Even with just some still images you can create near masterpieces with Animoto, or record your screen with screenr for ‘how to’ or demo videos.

As more and more businesses and web marketers start using video to promote themselves so the market gets increasingly loud so it would be really worthwhile to put some time aside to look at video as part of your overall marketing strategy, if you have not already done so.

Video sells, it connects you with your prospects and viewers so much more effectively than words and getting your personality across in your marketing is more important than ever – after all people ‘buy’ people!
