How A Video Production Company Can Help Your Business Go Viral

Posted on May 20, 2013 by Dave Holland

Viral Video Production

If you have social networking websites, then it is almost certain that you will have seen a “viral” video at some point. To put it simply, a video that goes “viral” is one that clocks up a large number of views often very quickly. The more people share the video, the further it reaches, and this means that it is an excellent marketing technique. Here, we will explore a bit more about how video producers can help your companies video go viral.

The quality of your video is important

However, although you may think that a viral video would be great for your business, it is vital that you take the time to think about the quality of your video. Although the majority of people could make one, the market is very competitive, and this means that a video production company might be able to provide you with the perfect video for your own individual needs.

No need to worry about production

There are a number of benefits with using a company rather than relying on your own skills. The first is that you don’t need to worry about any stage of the production, because the company will deal with everything. It can often be quite stressful, and you may find that it interferes with your ability to run other aspects of your company.

Video production companies know what can make a video viral

The most important point, however, is that video production companies will have a lot of information about the subject, and will know exactly how videos go viral. They will understand the audience that you are aiming to engage, and will therefore be able to use a number of techniques and styles to ensure that the video matches that audience.

Using a video is easy to share and that increases the chances of it going viral

One of the best things about using a video for this purpose is the fact that they are so easy to share. Also videos are watched without much effort, and this means that people are much more likely to view them than they would be if they were sent a similar type of information in another form. If you take the time to look at any of your social networking accounts, you will see there are a number of your contacts sharing videos at any one time, and this means that they could potentially be seen by huge amounts of people that you had never even imagined would be possible. A video production company can make the whole process a lot easier for you, meaning that you don’t need to worry about any part of the process.

Overall, the future of your business could be very much improved by using a video production company. If you would like your name to potentially be seen by millions, then this is most likely a great way to go about it. A video that goes viral may only cost your company hundreds but could potentially make your business thousands.

How Video Marketing Can Make You Money

Posted on May 18, 2013 by Dave Holland

Video Marketing Tips

If you’re currently considering making a marketing video for your company, then you will be thinking about is how it can make more money for you. When it comes down to it the message that it portrays about your company and how much money it can generate are the two most vital points that you need to consider. Here, we will explore how your video marketing campaign can make you money if you get every element of it right from the start.

Why should I choose video marketing?

The first thing that you should realise is that it is much easier to view a video and understand the concepts than it is to read a wall of text. If a client has the option of watching a video or reading through four pages of a website that contain the same information, they would most likely choose the video option every time. It is important that you are truthful in your videos, as it is vital that you gain the trust of your potential clients. In addition to this, it is not good to use auto play on your website, as this might make people feel as though they didn’t have an option of whether to watch it or not, and they may simply close the window.

Videos are easy to share, therefore have a bigger chance of becoming viral

In addition, videos are incredibly easy to share. If you upload using YouTube, users have the ability to share via many social networking websites. If a video gets a few shares initially, this can mean that thousands of people end up watching it. As long as you’ve managed to get this process right, this sort of publicity can really help your company turn from just another business into a worldwide sensation. It helps if you have a catchy slogan that people can remember, or something that would stick in their mind in the long term.

Your video marketing could help to increase your business in the long term much more effectively than an email campaign ever could. Hardly anybody enjoys reading large amounts of text. However, people naturally enjoying watching fun or informative videos, as long as they are relevant. This is the reason why your company could benefit immensely from this type of campaign if you carry out all elements of the process without any errors, and a professional can help you do that.

Kristian has worked with a number of video producers as a lead content writer. He has an outstanding knowledge of video marketing because of this work.

A website builder is the latest technology that allows users to create a website online without having to upload any files or incorporating complex coding systems. Complete novices can also create their own websites with minimalistic ease and simplicity. You may be required to download software with adequate online research for creating a website through a website builder.

  • Creating interesting content for the website; choosing apt keywords for SEO purposes
  • Incorporating videos and images, wherever required
  • Adding the website to the domain
  • Publishing and promoting the website

Promoting the website online

Google is the best way to promote websites online; the better the quality of the content, the more number of backlinks will be created for the website. These backlinks further affect the popularity of the website among the online communities. The website also yields good ranks among search engines by adding a subtle perception of being the best functioning site over the internet.

Let us discuss some of the key ways to promote the websites online.

  1. Keywords: Keywords are important to yield good results within the search engine ranking. They can be researched within the Google keyword tool and can be used in the contents of the website.
  2. Meta Data: Titles and descriptions for each of the web pages need to be created; a good website builder would quickly enable each of the pages with the title tag which will be picked up by the search engines.
  3. Content: Try and infuse quality content with apt keywords, so that the quality and readability of the text is not hampered.
  4. Images: Images speak greater than words and would capture the eyes of search engines better.

Easiest Way To Boost Blog Traffic For News-related Sites

Posted on May 14, 2013 by Dave Holland

How to Boost Your Blog Traffic

It is often a huge challenge to generate enough traffic to turn a profit on a content-related site that covers the news or analyzes the news from a particular angle. However, a lot of people are missing out on free blog traffic that can get you hundreds of thousands of page views a year, depending on your topic.

Google News is a tremendous source of traffic, and the right topics can draw a thousand or more page views in one day. It is an option for anyone with a blog, but there are certain requirements that you must meet in order to be accepted, so here are a few steps to get you on the track to more traffic.

1.    Meet the Technical Requirements

The first step is to make sure that your site meets all of the technical requirements, which are listed on the Google News site and can be found with a quick search of Google.

A few to start with are to make sure that you have a Sitemap on your server and to make sure that all of your posts have at least a three digit number in them, as this helps Google to put them in the feed.

2.    Build Up a Decent Amount of Coverage

If you only have a few posts, Google will reject you for Google News, because you need to show that you are a quality source of content. Thus, make sure that you have at least a couple of months worth of consistent posts that can be easily found on your site. It may be helpful if you have multiple writers providing this content, which will come up again for a future point.

3.    Demonstrate Quality Coverage

You do not necessarily have to be providing original reporting, although it will help your cause. If you do not, though, you will need to provide quality analysis. If you are just ripping copy off of the news wire and re-writing it and posting it, you are unlikely to be accepted.

The key to remember is that if you are not doing original reporting and breaking news stories, you must provide some other quality to readers. You can analyze stories or you can provide longer, feature type stories.

This shouldn’t be too stringent of a requirement, because it would be a bad business plan to try to build a site from the ground up by providing content that is already available in tons of other places.

4.    Have an Editorial Structure

Google will require an editorial structure to be in place for the site, which means that there will need to be at least two people listed on the site. One should be put in as an editor, while the other could be a reporter, writer, columnist or any other title that you come up with that makes sense.

The key here is to demonstrate that you are not just one individual and that there is a gatekeeper between the unedited content and the web. This helps to ensure the quality of content available in Google News.

5.    Submit Your Site for Inclusion

Obviously you will need to submit your site to Google News, which can be done by filling out a short form on the Google News website. The easiest way to find it is to perform a Google search for site submission to Google news or a related topic. You will have to fill out a short form providing contact info and some details about your site, then wait to find out the result of the review.

5 Different Ways To Sell Products On The Internet

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Dave Holland

How to Sell Products online

Making money online selling products doesn’t need to be complicated if you don’t want it to be. There is a simple formula that always works if you put in the required effort. You first need something that people want and would be willing to pay money for. After you have something they want the only thing you need to do is to put your product in front of interested people. If you have something people are willing to pay for and you put the offer in front of their face you will make lots of money.

If you have any common sense you will already know all of this, but if you’re coming from the offline world you might not know the different ways in which you can offer a product. It will all depend on what you are going to sell. Let’s look at a few of the options you have available to you at the moment. Each of these will have their positives and negatives, but you can be sure it’s possible to make good money with any of them.

A membership site

If you have lots of amazing information inside your brain it could be too much to have in a single product. You could set up a membership site where people pay you on a continual basis and there is a big chance you will make a lot of money this way. The trick is to keep providing your customers with amazing value so it’s impossible for them to leave. Once you can work out how much money is coming into your bank account every month you’ll be happy.

Special software

Instead of telling people how to do something you can actually do it for them. It’s not easy to explain something in a way everyone will understand. If you have a piece of software they can use it will make their life much easier because it can help streamline their business. If you have a particular kind of software you might be able to charge someone a monthly fee for using it and just like the membership model you can make a lot more money.

Premium coaching

If you’re looking to make a lot of money in a short amount of time you could easily offer premium coaching over Skype. When someone pays you money you just need to decide on a time you will speak with them. If you have specialist knowledge about a particular subject you can make a lot of money going down this route. You will have to work for your money so it’s not passive income, but you will be well compensated for it.

A Course

If you don’t have enough information to fit into a membership site you can still develop a course. This usually means you offer something much more valuable than a PDF. It could be a collection of books, videos, and audio recordings. This has a higher perceived value and you can make a nice amount of money compared to writing a book. The only thing that will take time is bringing it all together in the first place.

An Information Product

Not many people are going to become rich by selling a book or two. It still doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea and it should be the first thing most people try. That is because it’s easy to do and you can ship a product without putting too much work into it. If your book ends up being a flop you’ll be glad you didn’t dedicate half a year to it. When you’ve written something you can sell it on your site in PDF form, or you can sell it on places like the Amazon Kindle Store.

What’s Worse Than Writer’s Block? A Fried Brain

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Dave Holland

Dealing with Writer’s Block

Writer’s Block is a completely mental obstacle that wipes out all creativity and leaves you staring at a blank page on your computer screen for hours; you don’t even remember where the space bar is.

A fried brain, on the other hand, allows your mind to continue producing thoughts and ideas, even good ones at that. However, the words that come out are often complete gibberish and you can’t quite get your message across. I like to relate it to those dreams where you want to scream but you have no voice…that is a fried brain.

Up until recently, I thought any road bump in my writing was just good ol’ Writer’s Block. I even have several preemptive measures I like to take to ensure I’m not encroaching on a deadline when the deadly, yet totally psychological, disorder hits. But now I’m starting to notice that when I produce pages of gibberish or my ideas don’t sound as good out loud as they do in my head, it feels quite differently from Writer’s Block. What is this debilitating and humiliating problem? It’s a fried brain.

Fried brains are a result of hard work and constant production. I’ll be on a roll and there’s no stopping me – until I stop actually making sense. Unlike Writer’s Block, which is just a state of mind, a fried brain is actually your brain telling you it’s time for a break. It’s only natural that your brain wants to relax, reset, and rejuvenate. So what should you during these confusing times? Here are a few ideas:

  1. Just walk away. This might mean an entire afternoon of not working, but it’s better than turning in Pig Latin to your clients.
  2. Do something that makes you happy. If you enjoy painting your toenails, do that. If you like staring out your window, by all means, do that. Do something you enjoy is a surefire way to let your brain refuel.
  3. Get fresh air. This seems to my biggest lifesaver. When you’re on a copywriting roll, it’s hard to forget that you’re cooped up inside for hours at a time. Airing yourself out is refreshing and reminds you of all the things that inspire you.
  4. Nap. Wait, what?! Yes, I’m telling you to go take a nap. There has been more than one occasion where I was stuck on a press release, or even a headline, and I kept cranking away at it, trying to find the best approach. When I realized I wasn’t getting anywhere, a quick nap helped put things into perspective and I woke up ready to take another crack at it.
  5. Grab a bite. Give your mind something else to chew on, literally. Not only is a little sustenance a nice way to take a break but you’ll have energy to get back to you work and finish it like a champion.

Those five steps have done wonders for me every time a fried brain has threatened my deadlines. However, this is truly a process that differs for every Copywriter, one of trial and error. If you do start experiencing “Fried Brainitis,” it’s only a symbol of your hard work and determination, and therefore, getting back on track is really just about giving your mind a well-deserved break.

3 Case Studies Of Twitter Traffic Actually Making Money

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Dave Holland

Making Money With Twitter

You must still be hearing this deep, meaningful question at social meetings, dinner parties and social musings.

“I don’t really understand this Twitter thing at all! Isn’t it just people telling everyone what they had for lunch or did last night? What is the point of that”?

For lot of people Twitter is in fact exactly that… a little bit like a usual cross-section of your regular conversation, to be frank. However, Social media has turned out to be totally a whole lot more! If you delve deeper into the matter, you’ll discover that social media marketing has developed incredibly in past few years.

So, we thought it would be productive to look at a few Twitter case studies that indicate how different business are using Twitter traffic to actually increase sales and make money.

1. JetBlue

JetBlue is a popular airline that joined Twitter in 2007. It is among one of the first big brands to do so. Today, they have more than 1.6 million followers.

Why did JetBlue join Twitter?

They wanted to help their customers. According to the JetBlue’s Corporate Communication Manager, Morgan Johnson, some consumers were asking the company for help, and others were sharing information that was not accurate at all. He also discovered that JetBlue customers were tweeting about various travel problems while traveling.

The company started pretty slowly, since they needed time to learn about social media – what works and what doesn’t. Johnson regards Twitter as the kernel of Truth. According to him, it is necessary to respect what your consumers/followers want. Customers are always right! We hear this statement over and over again, but never try to understand its meaning. Twitter provides you with a perfect platform to ask your followers about your brand, what changes they want to see, etc.

JetBlue also used this social media platform for customer service, much of which most companies don’t see since it happens through direct messages.

Present Twitter Resources of the Company: 6 staffers who post directly to the company’s twitter account, plus backup staff resources.

Company’s next challenge: Staffing the Twitter account 24/7 in order to ensure timely reply to customer’s queries.

2. Etsy

Etsy is basically an online marketplace where people can buy and sell handmade products. Since its launch in 2005, the company has grown to more than 65 employees. Most importantly, there are more than 250,000 sellers on Etsy that are successfully selling their handmade goods.

Etsy recently decided to experiment with social media marketing using Twitter in a number of ways.

  • Sharing valuable tips
  • Alert the users to an extensively creative product from an Etsy seller
  • Share info from individual sellers on Etsy through re-tweets
  • Offering info regarding upcoming promotions and events on the website
  • Monitor and answer questions related to Etsy that followers express through Twitter
  • Collect ideas instantaneously
  • Getting feedback from Etsy users to ensure better service
  • Discover Etsy users’ favorite items
  • Finding out Etsy users’ favorite blog designs and projects

According to people at Etsy, a business that continuously tries to build community and avidly learn from the followers will definitely find that Twitter is an amazing place, since it ties together the collective brains and thoughts of so many individuals.

Etsy has also realized over time that great content on this social media platform has the opportunity to reach thousands of new users who do not know anything about Etsy’s website. Different users will re-tweet about anything unique or creative, resulting in more followers.

Advice for businesses planning to join Twitter

For a website that specializes in handmade products, there is nothing more flattering and special than being followed by Martha Stewart. That is indeed the spine-tingling thrill Etsy recently enjoyed. According to Anda, owner at Etsy, new businesses should connect, interact and listen to the users. Getting feedback is equally important, and there is nothing more effective than using Twitter for this purpose, since it enables you to have a 2-way communication with the customers.

3. Teusner Wine

Teusner Wine is a winery with three employees that operates in Barossa Valley, Australia. Dave Brookes is the head of marketing and sales department. Brookes, who also happened to be a big cycling fan, was enjoying the Tour Down Under back in 2009 when he first noticed that Lance Armstrong had a twitter account. He started using twitter and followed his favorite athlete.

What was the company’s goal for using Twitter?

They wanted to promote their business and build solid relationship with their customers and prospective consumers.

Eventually, Brookes created an account for Teusner. In order to get the ball rolling, he utilized Twitter search for terms related to wine. He followed influential people who were talking about wine business. He started interacting with them on a personal level and conversing about wine. Brookes usually sends a friendly message to any customer he find on twitter. He says, “Thanks for trying out wine collection; we’re really thrilled you’ve tasted’em. G’day!” According to Brooke, the customers normally get surprised by their message and show excitement. Brooke has explained that they are trying to build a solid relationship based on trust (that usually comes from not selling) with their customers.

Brooke has revealed that the winery has gained more customers since he started tweeting. The company has witnessed substantial increase in traffic to its official website, including some people from Canada and US asking where to get Teusner wines at restaurants and stores near them.

Brooke also uses Twitter for sharing information about the company and gathering feedback from the customers, which helps him incredibly in improving their products. He also shares info regarding dinners and tastings featuring Teusner wines. He also reports about the events happening at the company.

Twitter has an incredibly huge number of users. You can use it to your advantage, depending on how actively you use it. So, how are you utilizing Twitter for your business?

How Can A Business With A Small Budget Action An SEO Campaign?

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Dave Holland

SEO for Smaller Budgets

For some small businesses, operating online can at times seem like a hopeless task.  This is especially true if there is little money available for pursuing online marketing activities such as SEO. We’re not going to sit here and tell you that SEO is easy, because it simply isn’t.

The power of an SEO campaign will also be much more substantial if you are able to get a professional SEO agency or consultancy on board to help you achieve your aims. However, that shouldn’t stop a small business with little money from pursuing a range of SEO goals.

Before you start getting any ideas, we’re not for a minute suggesting that you go and find a cheap best deal option from a company that promises to bring you a number one rank for an irrelevant keyword by the end of the month. Instead, we suggest you start looking at the things you can do for yourself.

Teach Yourself Basic SEO

There are blogs, videos, online tutorials, and much more that can help you to learn the basics of SEO. You might be thinking ‘why should I only learn the basics,’ but the reality is that knowing enough to get by will actually help you to stand out ahead of many of your competitors.

It will also allow you to get your site to a good starting point should you ever decide to invest in a professional service.

Use SEO Site Tools

Whether it is Google Webmaster Tools or something altogether less extensive, there is a range of SEO site tools that anyone can pick up and start to use in order to get their website in order. Several leading SEO agencies will also have a number of tools on their own website that you can often download and use for free, so run a quick Google search and start to check some out now.

Get a Pro SEO to Design a Campaign For You

Most people know that the usual way an SEO company works is by carrying out ‘full service’ SEO on your behalf, and all you do is carry out small tasks as required by them.

However, if you are looking for a professional SEO set up on a budget, several agencies will design the campaign for you at a reasonably low price, and then hand over the plan to you so you can action it yourself.

Of course, this is going to impact on your time, but if you’re unable to commit finances to SEO, then time is going to be the next best commodity.

Look for SEO Workshops

While a large portion of workshops and conferences are aimed towards SEO professionals, many, such as SMX, have dedicated portions that look to educate individuals and businesses that are inexperienced in the field.

Attending such an event will not only help you to grow your knowledge, but you will also find yourself networking with people from all branches of the online marketing industry, and could stumble over an opportunity to create a partnership or agreement that will ultimately boost your SEO performance.

Robert is a lover of all things related to online marketing, including how small businesses can make use of SEO web tools, and regularly advises such organisations on the steps they can take to achieve search success.
