The web is an amazing place with a limitless supply of cheap advertising opportunities for small and large business. An increasingly popular advertising medium is YouTube, and it is free.
As a business, you can promote your products and services by way of video presentation. It does not need to be fancy, just worth watching. Another great way to utilise YouTube is Do-It-Yourself instructions and video testimonials. These can help you and your business appear more credible.
To create your own video, all you need is a video camera, that you can hook up to your computer, and some video editing software, to add some text, cut sections of movie etc. Keeping your video short is also important…it is recommended that your video is between 2 and 3 minuets long depending on what is it for. You can also get an animator to create a custom video for you, like a music film clip. It may just cost you a bit extra.
Once you have your finished video, you can create a Youtube account (otherwise known as a YouTube Channel) where you can upload your video. You can customise your YouTube Channel to match your business colours etc, and you can also add other people’s videos to your Channel. It is all for free.
To further promote your videos, adding them your website/blog is an option. Just get your website designer to do this for you if you don’t know how. You can also add other people’s YouTube videos to your website or blog. This is great if your suppliers/headquarters have spent the money/time creating the perfect ‘you-beaut-videos’ and that they are happy for you to use it.
Another great thing about YouTube is that you do not need to be creating videos to benefit. You can use it to learn new stuff – FOR FREE. The amount of information available that you can use to help improve your business is amazing. You can learn more about online marketing and social media, how to use certain computer programs, how to become a better manager and more…
