As you begin to make more videos, your following will increase. You should regularly make videos sothat people come to expect something new from you when they are on your site. As you cover moretopics, you'll attract a wider audience.
Don't expect people to devote a lot of time to watching your videos. If you are taping a demo of yourproduct, do it in 20 minutes or less. However, if you are not doing a demonstration, keep the video tounder ten minutes.
Don't assume you need glitzy, high-tech scenery and fancy special effects to make a persuasivevideo. You don't need the best equipment as long as what you're using does a reasonable job. Youcan create an excellent video without a script, even if you do not have any experience. Just keep yourpersonality up front and speak directly to the video camera. Perhaps you don't need to do so,however. Screen capture sequences and PowerPoint presentations sometimes get the job done.
Don't forget about YouTube. It is really the first place you should begin your campaign. After all, it'sfree hosting for your videos. It is also one of the highest viewed websites. It is one of the best searchengines as far as volume, and it's also the best video site as well.
Include an opt-in form for your mailing list on every page where your videos are posted. If someonewatching your video wants more information about the video topic, the sign-up form is staring themright there in the face.
