I have been using video for the past 10 years for marketing
and it far outperforms any other social medium that I use.
I have an 18 point plan in creating videos which I share on
my Video & YouTube Marketing course - www.videoandyoutubemarketing.com and I want to share some of the strategies in this
article.
Once my video has been created, I have found the best
results happen when I use my formula COPE – Create Once Share Everywhere.
1 – the first place I upload my video is to YouTube. I have
over 700 videos, 4 million views and 7,000 subscribers on my channel www.youtube.com/salestips
In the past I was able to generate hundreds of thousands of
views with each video, but this has now substantially decreased since there is
so much video uploaded every minute.
YouTube is still always the first place I upload my video
and the main reason is for Search Engine Optimization.
Google owns YouTube and
if you know how to use the right keywords and where, there is a good chance you
could get onto the first page of a Google search via YouTube.
Wherever you are in the world, please type in the phrase ‘sales
technology speaker’ into a Google search and chances are that I will dominate
that search term. You will also notice that the first thing that comes up after
the paid ads are some of my YouTube videos.
I have no idea which videos will appear as there are
different videos each week. My strategy is to make at least one new video each
week and have the keywords in the right places. The first place I put the
phrase is in the title or headline of the video.
Go to Creator Studio, Video manager and find the video you
need to optimize. Click on the edit button as shown on the picture below.
Go to the title or headline and put in the name of your
video, a space, a pipe (|) and your search term phrase.
Next go to the description and in the very first line put in
the link to your website or landing page.
Next make your description as
comprehensive as possible and add links and your key search phrase.
Thirdly add as many tags as are relevant and always include the
same search phrase as above.
Next ensure you have an eye catching thumbnail and my
favourite software tool I use almost daily is Graphics creator - https://techtips--laughingbirdsoftware.thrivecart.com/the-graphics-creator7-bundle/
2 – the second place I upload my video is to LinkedIn.
I am
getting ten times more views on LinkedIn than on Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo
combined. Right now it is the best place on the planet for business marketing.
3 – Upload to Facebook using the native video ie upload the
original video from your computer or phone to Facebook, never use a link.
4 – Upload the video to Vimeo and the other video sites and
share these links on all your social media channels.
Take a look at the video I have created to explain
everything in the article.
