The popularity of some social networks is growing fast – this is nothing new. Almost everyone has several social networking accounts on different platforms. There is no doubt that Facebook has become a big player in the internet. We can’t deny it: Facebook offers a huge variation of apps and therefore long-term distraction for everyone. You can play games, upload and share photos and post your thoughts and comments. So people are hanging out around all day on Facebook. This is why today we want to focus on video promotion using Facebook.

Uploading videos to Facebook is easy using the build-in feature. The most challenging part here is the creation of unique videos that can capture everyone’s attention. There are many videos being uploaded on Facebook every day, so how can you stand out among the rest? Making cool videos and creating exposure is the biggest challenge of all.

Facebook – A Social Community

But first let’s come back to Facebook and what it really is in general: a social community. Your aim must be to participate in the first place. Be real and connect to friends to build up an audience. If some of them are in your field of interest or business, even better! Post messages, comments, but also other links and videos that might be helpful on the walls of your friends. Posting on other people’s walls should be considered as a killer feature for promotion on Facebook. If you do it wisely your friends will appreciate it, because you show your concern and your interest in them. You first give attention in order to gain it.

Where To Start

So what kind of videos could you produce? Many people don’t know where to start. Here is a suggestion: How about creating a series of short how-to-videos or tutorial videos on your chosen topic? If you already have written content or even made a presentation about a specific topic – even better! Be sure to create a storyboard first. What do you want to tell your audience? How can your video help others? Maybe it is just a screencast, explaining a workflow of something you do regulary using your product. Then engage your audience into discussions. Ask them about their own workflows. Feedback is crucial. It helps you to improve your product and your approach. Another strategy is to attract viewers by awaking their curiosity. This is why the title of your video is vital. It must be short and catchty but also relevant with regard to the content of your video. Don’t forget to include your main keyword in the title. Also add a description and make sure that it is as accurate as possible. Another important feature is tagging which is very reliable in promoting videos so take enough time to select the right keywords for your video. It simply allows others to find your videos much easier.

Take Action

Tease your viewers but try not to sell your products or services directly. Instead build a feeling of trust and deliver a great service to your audience. The strategies being mentioned here are easy to understand but many fail in sticking to the basic rules. Be thoughtful but and don’t be paralyzed in making videos. You’ll then eventually be easily noticed on Facebook and attract more viewers on a fast growing platform. Enjoy the process!

One of the most effective and profitable ways of promoting your online business is Video Marketing. You can easily catch the viewer’s attention with this method. Everybody knows YouTube, but there are many more popular Video websites out there and it can be tough and time consuming to upload your videos to each one of these “by hand”. In order to save time and create leverage you might be interested in the automation of this procedure. This is where services like TubeMogul and Traffic Geyser can help you out. Lets examine which one offers what you really need? I want to give you a brief overview.

TubeMogul

TubeMogul at first is a free service that allows you to spread uploaded videos to other top video sharing sites. If you want to save time without losing productivity, this may be interesting for you. The main benefits using TubeMogul are:

Traffic Geyser

Traffic Geyser can be tested for just $1 but then has a $97 monthly fee. However, it uploads your videos to a huge and constantly growing list of video sites. You can also include blogs and some other services if you provide the necessary information. The initial setup of your submission list is quite time consuming. You first need to set up all your accounts for every video service you want to submit to.

The famous 1981 movie Clash of the Titans is beeing remaked. The Trailer is out now in High Definition and looks very promising! Director of this remake is Louis Leterrier, starring Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. We can’t await the launch in movie theaters in March 2010.

You may have the best product on earth with the most sophisticated website in the universe. But lets face it: Without some kind of promotion you won’t sell anything. Your website needs to be clicked. You need traffic, because no traffic means no visitors, no qualified prospects and ultimately no sales.

So the question is: How do you generate traffic? The good news is that there are hundreds of ways to promote your website. I just want to give you a brief overview. The following marketing methods have become standard web strategies:

• Article Marketing
• Blogging & Micro Blogging
• Directory Submission
• Pay Per Click (PPC)
• Social Bookmarking
• Social Networking
• Video Marketing

Engaging in each one of these methods can be a full-time job and the competitors never sleep. If your time is limited and you’re not outsourcing your marketing business yet, my recommendation is to focus on Video Marketing. This is not a revolutionary new idea and I don’t say you shouldn’t do anything else, but I strongly recommend to put most of your effort in video as it can help you to stand out from the crowd. With a video on YouTube, Yahoo, Myspace or on any other video platform you can reach your audience within minutes. And creating a video is a no-brainer in our days. A teenager would use a mobile phone for that.

But why does Video work so well?

There are many reasons for that:

1. YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine behind Google
2. Search engines seem to more and more prefer video in their search results
3. Submitted videos appear almost directly in search engines results
4. People are mad about videos, not only for entertainment but also for education
5. The bulk of all web traffic today is video

The Internet offers video on demand for everyone. There’s a huge buffet of footage and you design your own schedule and you decide wether you need a (commercial) break or not. You can watch web videos on mobile devices wherever and whenever you like. Video is back and it is the wave of the future. It can boost your business dramatically by making it more approachable and personal. People can see and listen at the same time.

Simple rules for success

Now here comes the important part. Assuming that you know how to record and produce a video (No worries – I’ll cover this up in a future post) you need to follow some simple rules to get the most out of it:

1. Choose a title which matches your topic or desired keyword
2. Write a good description for every video you submit
3. Put your URL (http://www.yourdomain.com) in front of every description
4. Submit your video to at least five major video sites (e.g. YouTube, Yahoo, MySpace, DailyMotion, Vimeo)
5. Track and analyze your ranking results
6. Repeat the steps 1-5 within a few weeks with new video material

That’s pretty much it as an overview. There is a lot of finetuning possible and in future posts I’ll go into more detail. I will also explain how to save time with video submission by using tools like TubeMogul and TrafficGeyser.
