Video Marketing - How To Make Money Using Video

"Video Marketing" is no longer the future of the Internet. It truly has become the here and now. Anyone who is not implementing video marketing into their daily marketing mix is missing out on a huge piece of the pie when it comes to online profits. Not only does video marketing convert better than probably any other method of marketing, but it also captures the attention of the visitor. What you actually need is the attention of your visitor when you are attempting to promote anything online, including yourself, and this is also what you need to effectively sell a prospect on your opportunity or product. If you learn how to create powerful and effective videos that offer adequate value, you will be able to generate a healthy income online.

In this blogpost, I am going to offer you three simple tips on how you can begin using VIDEO MARKETING to generate more income online.

First and foremost, in order to begin your journey into [video marketing], you will need to acquire a good camera to make your videos. For the purpose of this blog, I am going to suggest you use a Flip Video Camera. This is a very lightweight and portable camera that you can transport anywhere, while carrying it in your pocket or purse, and it shoots fantastic quality video. It is also very affordable. Any major electronics store carries this product for "video marketing" You can also purchase one online by conducting a search for the flip video camera on the Google search engine.

Next, you will need to locate some topics to provide value on. One of my favorite things to do is check out leading forums and locate questions people are wanting to know about for my particular niche or business opportunity. I will then take those questions and produce a video centering around them. My videos usually last around three to five minutes, which is ideal to be able to offer an important message, provide adequate information about a particular topic as well as give value the reader will appreciate and remember me for.

Finally, after I upload my video to youtube, I will also upload it to all of the other high traffic, major video sharing sites through tubemogul.com. This not only affords me backlinks, but it allows me to acquire the maximum exposure I am able to when it comes to my "video marketing" efforts online. It is not only possible but highly recommended to make as many videos in a single day as possible especially if you are a newbie. I suggest between two and four, especially when you are starting out online to create a presence, establish credibility and brand yourself as a leader within your industry.

With consistency in video marketing, like with any other marketing method, on any given month, one can have well over 100 videos driving targeted traffic to their website. You can only image how much traffic and how many opt ins "video marketing can potentially generate for you. Now the rest is up to you, take action, have fun making videos that are creative and add value for your niche while driving traffic to your website on a daily basis.

How To Get Backlinks?

This process is also known as inbound links, because backlinks are the links that simply point from other websites on the internet, to your website (or webpages that are located on your website). Backlinks are very important and essential because they allow your website to get ranked higher in the search engines. As a matter of fact, it is only those websites that have a lot of backlinks pointing to them, and "high-quality" backlinks at best, that acquire success with the link building aspect of Search Engine Optimization.





Here I have provided you with some insight and helpful tips on how to go about getting backlinks and a much better search engine ranking and more website traffic:





1. Submit your website to search engines and web directories on a consistent basis.





The majority of these type of services and platforms do require you to authenticate that the URL you are submitting belongs to you, or is of your website, which is almost always a very simple process anyways. Web directories and search engines take on average about one week to begin crawling on your website before they will index them.





2. Exchange links.





You can get other good websites to link to your website and you do the very same to them as well. It is best done when both the websites are somehow related to each other, either falling in the same category or catering to the same or a niche that compliments them.





3. Get one-way backlinks from websites that are similar.





With something like this, you get a backlink to your website from others' websites, but you don't have to link their website to your website. this can work miracles, especially if the site that is linking to your site is even considered the least bit close with content to an authority website that caters to the same type of target audience, readership, or vistor base. It does have the potential to result in an immediate boost of traffic including more unique website visitors.





You can obtain one-way backlinks either for free or by paying for them. High quality backlinks at most websites are priced in the range of $100 for each permanent backlink. An alternative that you can take is for you to write content and then submit it to their sites such as DMOZ.org, article directories, and even ezinearticles.com.





4. RSS Marketing.





This is not such a common way that is used to increase traffic and search engine rankings, but RSS marketing does have amazing potential to ensure long term success of your website. All you have to do is simply create RSS feeds for your website and then publish it to a variety of RSS aggregators.





While that is an overview of some very simple and excellent ways to begin building backlinks to your website, it is essential to note that such options should be used only if you are getting "high quality" backlinks. This is a time when you need to focus on establishing a reputable image for yourself and your website.

Basics of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

If you are planning to start an online business opportunity online, it is without a doubt that you will need to make your website very search engine friendly. Regardless of what you will do with your website or how appealing it is to the human eye, you will need (real) visitors to experience true online success.

Search engine optimization is a way by which you try to legitimately get your sites ranked high in the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Sites that are ranked high in search engines can generate fabulous organic (natural) traffic that is absolutely free.

There are search engine spiders that will eventually crawl on your websites and then your website will be indexed in all of the major search engines very quickly. The question is why is there a need for SEO?

• Seo is absolutely risk free, to a very large extent. Imagine - What if down the road you find out that the PPC campaign you just set up the day before has its balance reduced to zero dollars? You should not be surprised. The cheap competition does it all the time. They will get your ads clicked hundreds and thousands of times each day, and you will end up paying for each and every click, for no returns (what we call click fraud), SEO eliminates (or regulates) that risk that could potentially occur for you.
• Reliability. Not only do the search engines bring in targeted traffic because of the way in which they work (keyword searches), they also ensure success. Now, imagine this scenario, your website is ranking higher up in all (or if not most) of the major search engines out there for a specific keyword that you have targeted. The chances of you obtaining traffic from these search results are very high, as people often do not even visit page two of the results in search engines. Check with yourself for proof on this.
• Affordability. Over the long term, SEO can result in increased cost savings. A banner or even a PPC campaign could run anywhere from $100 to $5,000 or more per month. Effective SEO services cost about $1,000 a month on average. In the majority of cases, spending at least $1,000 a month is a major expense that would not last for more than 3 to 6 months. That is not the case with expensive advertisements.

You have two choices. You could either hire an SEO Consultant or choose to do it all by yourself. Whichever you choose, you still need to know the basics of SEO in order to understand how it all works. After all, it is your website and your business opportunity, and you are the person that is solely responsible for its success online.

These are the SEO verbage and terminology that you will want to learn more about:

• keywords
• keyphrases
• alt tags, meta tags and meta description
• link building and one-way links
• page ranking

More on the basics of SEO will follow in the near future...
