DOUBLE your Website's traffic & attract NEW customers!
Video on Social Networking sites and Video Posting sites are quickly becoming THE primary online destination for everyone. It's been reported that 82% of internet viewers watch videos online and 52% of web traffic is video based. Are you losing half of your customers by not using video? We will will show you how and where to use Video to bring you NEW business. And the best part is that video attracts new customers 24 hours a day, every day!
What types of videos should I make?
There are many types of videos you can produce for these sites. Think like your target audience … what would they like to know about your company? What would build their confidence in you and your company?
If you have general marketing videos or corporate branding videos, post those. In fact, any videos that you have for your business that are interesting or engaging should be posted. More is better in this case. Having more content will increase the chances that the audience will connect with you.
Other popular video types are product demonstrations, FAQ help, a tour of your facilities, new product teasers or a video catalog of your products with detailed product information. Also, you can show your human side and compassion by posting videos that show your company's community involvement, demonstrations of your expertise or talent, funny or entertaining events at your company or the process that you use to develop products.
What sites are there to post Videos on?
YouTube is the big player. They own 64% of the video marketplace. But, you still need to utilize all the Video post sites like FaceBook, Google Video, Yahoo Video, Metacafe etc.
These sites bring you real, qualified traffic that paid advertising cannot. Roughly 10 to 20% of the traffic that sees your videos will go to your site or use links that you provide. Of these visitors, 10 to 15% will take action … buying from you or calling you.
These visitors buy from you because of the credibility that the video content gives your business. The relationship your are building with these customers grows with each exposure to your expertise or message. And that means sales grow with it.
How do I post the Video to these sites?
Posting videos to multiple Social Networks and video sharing sites on can be time consuming if you do it one upload at a time. We recommend using a Video Distribution service. They all offer different types of distribution and added value services and tracking. One is sure to be right for you. Most offer some sort of analytics so you can track your traffic and results. Check out their sites for complete breakdowns of the services they provide.
Here are the most commonly used services:
• The favorite is TubeMogul.com. They give you basic, free online “Video Syndication” across all of the video sharing sites. Full featured, Premium services are also available.
• Heyspread.com is a mass distribution service that is a “pay as you go” service.
• Dailymotion.com is simple and just distributes your video across your personal Blog, website and social network profiles.
• In youTube you can do quick, simple video distribution by simply clicking the social network icons under your video.
We hope that this has given you some insight, help and inspiration to go after your audience. This investment in your business is a process you build on. Patience and perseverance will pay dividends into the future.

5. CONVINCE YOURSELF FIRST

Show with the video that not only do you have the vision, but you also have the professionalism and qualities needed to lead the business to success.
6. KEEP IT SHORT

3 STEPS TO CREATE YOUR MOST POWERFUL CONSTRUCTION COMPANY PRESENTATION VIDEO - FREE VIDEO TIPS
By Omer BarSadeh for Vision Film and Television Production
The Internet has created a huge pool of information and resources, and for the consumer there's nothing better - almost. Almost, because it has also brought much more competition and the threat of Internet fraud and scams.
When we're looking to buy a product or to use a service, we make sure we know exactly who we're dealing with, especially when we have to spend a lot of money. We want to make sure there will be a return on our investment.
In times of recession like we are experiencing now, people still need to renovate and move. But, the budgets are tighter and the projects are getting smaller. That means the competition is getting harder.
Using the power of video can give you a tremendous advantage on your competition. It will help the consumer that is about to spend a decent amount of money choose you.
Before creating your video, keep in mind 3 basic principles that will help brand you and create better credibility:
1. Make sure to present your business and the way it uniquely operates while emphasizing your advantages compared to the market. Talk about things like the fact taht other companies never finish on time but you always do. Or how the competition always leaves a mess and that you pride yourself on always leaving the worksite cleaner than when you started.
2 . Back up what you present with testimonials. There is no stronger tool than using a third party to talk about you. The viewer will connect and find himself relating to the person speaking on camera. Talking about common problems your potential clients might face and how your company solved them will add to your expertise. Use real examples of projects you did, and show them by using still pictures or live videos.
3. Show how easy it is. Let your clients understand that by choosing to work with you not only will they get the best results, but the process itself will be easy, efficient and even fun! Nobody wants to find themselves in a situation where they need to solve problems. Show them that you're responsible, you'll be there to get things done and you always keep your word.
Now, after you showed the beautiful work you can do, presented your professionalism and showed approval from previous clients, make “a call to action”. Prompt your viewer to call you for a free quote or to fill out a website form to request a quote. Whatever it take to make contact with them so you can see their needs and provide a solution.
Doing the above will build your credibility and trust with your potential clients which means more business for you. Just take it step by step. It's easy. Now go give it a try and take control of building new business!
