Marketing your product through videos made by you on YouTube is one of the most effective ways of advertising your product to potential customers. Not sure how to get started, what to do? Stay tuned here are  7 Amazing YouTube tips that will get you started.

 1. Make Your Own Video
Yep that’s right make your own video… you don’t need to hire a professional. All you need to do is to make sure your videos are interesting and unique while allowing your personality or brand to shine through. Remember to put yourself in the viewers shoes and include things that you yourself would probably want to see. Don’t hesitate to inject some humour into the video. Be realistic you will probably have to do a couple of takes, don’t expect to get it perfect the first time.

2. Keep it Short
How short should a YouTube video be? Recently we had the privelege of talking to Ross Goldberg aka Mr Traffic, Frank Sousa and Darren LeCroix. All of these Internet marketing experts agreed that a YouTube video should be precise in its content.  The viewer doesn’t want to know what you had for breakfast, they just want to know what you are giving them. As a guideline your video should be at least 2 minutes but less than 5 minutes.

3.Have A Plan
Think about the audience you want to target. You might be tempted to copy the popular internet marketers, but try to resist since their style may not be your style. As Dr Phil says keep it real, YouTube has millions of videos containing lots of different styles and niches. Take the time to create a draft script that contains what you want to say and how you want to say it. Practice a couple of times before you try to record the video. Saying the words out loud will tell you whether the collection of words you have chosen flow and make sense to the listener.

4. YouTube Video SEO
OK so you have made the video now you need to promote it. We all know it’s no use having it on YouTube if nobody finds it. There is a reason why YouTube has tags, text decriptions and categories for each video that is uploaded. The only way most people are going to find your videos is by searching. This means the words you use for tags, descriptions and categorization are extremely important. They need to match the content of your video.and target the audience you want to attract. You need to make the text description for your video accurate and interesting. Its important to use descriptive keywords and also the language that people will use when they search for videos like yours.

 5. One Video Is Not Enough
You might think that once you have made a video and uploaded it then jobs done. Think again! I am sure that you have been on YouTube and already know that the Internet Marketing Experts like Ross Goldberg and Micheal Chaney have a lot more than one video. The Internet Marketing Experts build a series of similar videos. For starters we recommend that you build at least 10 videos, and then add more videos on a regular basis. We know that 10 videos might seem a daunting task, just remember they dont have to be perfect and they only need to be 2 minutes in length.

6.Go Viral
The ultimate prize for every internet marketer is to have their YouTube videos go viral. Make no mistake this won’t just happen, you will need to take action and promote the videos. The best way to promote these videos is to use other Social Media sites such as twitter, Facebook, MySpace, blogs, and so on. But don’t panic it is really easy to post a youtube video on Social Media sites or at the very least to include a link. If you share your video with as many people as you can and they like it they will share it with others….hey presto your videos go viral.

7. Experiment To See What Works
The Internet Marketing Experts are always testing and tweaking their campaigns. Make use of statistics to identity how many people visit your video, how may people visit your product and how many people purchase your product. Its important to create a number of campaigns and see what works. Its similar to a singer writing a number of songs before they find that elusive hit.

Now you know how, stop hesitating, start your  YouTube internet marketing campaign today and get the FREE traffic you deserve.

Over the last day or so these improvements have been gradually added to homepages.  Initial feedback from users is favourable and although Facebook will attribute this to the changes they have made  - perhaps it is also partly due to Facebook users  feeling less shellshocked second time around.

What Do You Think?
Now that Facebook Version 2 is live, its time for Facebook users to give their feedback. They certainly weren’t shy in providing feedback for Facebook Version 1. Whats  your opinion?

Myspace, a type of social network is extremely hot right now.  It gets millions of visitors to its site each day (maybe that’s why it’s always loading so slowly?) and it is one of the most visited websites in the world (number one most visited website in the United States).

When I first joined myspace I was really surprised to see how many people were marketing their services on there. It ranged from:

 Singers
 Actors
 Models
 Small business owners
 Comedians
 Filmmakers

The main theme about myspace is to add friends and that is displayed in your profile. The reason why marketers want friends is so that they will have a range of people that they can market to; it is sort of like an email list in a sense.

Myspace was originally built for the younger audience but you can see that it’s obviously changing very quickly because a lot of the older audiences roam around there. The concept with the “friends” theme is very similar to high-school so you have to step outside your normal business frame of mind and work on fitting in.

Ask yourself what do they want? It’s quite simple; all they want is to feel accepted and to have friends. They are not on there to market their products; they just want to accumulate as many friends as possible and to feel good about themselves. Why do you think people post pictures and ask for comments? They want to feel good about themselves; it makes them feel more confident and happy which people would gladly pay lots of money for but you will be giving it to them for free. Why do you think Americans spend millions
of dollars each year on cosmetic surgery? Do they really need it? Of course not, but they want the attention of their peers and surroundings. So, make sure to leave comments for your friends. Be a super cool, but a super helpful friend.  You shouldn’t go on myspace for the sole purpose of making money, put some thought into it first. Myspace is a business in itself, and you should spend some time to build this effectively, nothing a software program can do by itself, it needs the human touch.

Myspace is a great place to learn about the “sociological” aspects of human beings. I learn a new thing every-time I go there. I like to use myspace to gather feedback and understand humans better because they are in a different state of mind on there. It is like my own scientific laboratory in a sense. 

You have to play by their rules to make a sale, and it’s usually harder to sale on myspace because people are just not in the buying mode but I will reveal some solid marketing techniques later. Myspace is a powerful network and it is hard for someone to compete with it because of the large amount of users.

You can add more features to a social network and try to make it than Myspace, but I doubt that you will overcome myspace, the same can be said about the other powerful social networks such as eBay. You can try to make something better by adding more features and  reducing the price but being the first is something that people will always remember.

So, if you can’t beat something what is your next route? You join them, so this is what we are about to do and this is exactly what a lot of other social networks have done and they used myspace as a fuel to drive on. An example of a social network that used myspace to fuel their burning growth is youtube http://www.youtube.com/. In matter of fact, the growth of youtube was so rampant that it actually threaten myspace own video resources and they wanted to disable myspace users from using the network on myspace, but the users loved youtube so much so youtube has became an exponentially growing phenomenal since. So, the next question is how can you become the next youtube and use myspace to fuel your next product launch?

Well, there are some ways that you can go about doing this and I will get to them later.

Just by integrating your business around myspace you can:

 Build a rapport with prospective customers
 Generate more traffic to your website
 Build up your newsletter
 Network with people that have similar goals with you
 Use it as another free source for advertising

This Post has nothing to do about Traffic, except perhaps we will need to keep Jack the dog away from it.
