Morning!
Today is going to be a very brief, pithy and to the point post, as I’ll be driving all over creation later on.
However, I *did* want to get this nifty neato idea out to you asap!
This week is my Video Marketing Tips week, you see!
Now, if you’re afraid of video marketing, you can get yourself right away to:
I enjoy recommending this; it covers how to make videos for free without requiring *you* being in the video.
And I’ve figured that sharing this resource is truly a good thing!
But now, let’s move ahead into the future, shall we?
The future in which you have already given yourself permission to tackle video marketing!
The future in which you have videos ready to share!
The future in which you can finally pay attention to things like getting your video to show up in search engines!
All together now….
Woo hoo!
Thank you, I feel much better. 
But I digress.
Let’s now open the doors wide open and shriek…
Video SEO!
Video Search Engine Optimization!
Did you even *realize* you could seo your videos?
It’s true!
And here’s 3 nfity tips on how to do this.
Video SEO Tip #1.) Make Your Title Intrigue!
And I’m not talking about the usual emotional headline analyzer, or smashing up a zillion niche keywords in your title.
Did you realize that (I hope you’re sitting down for this) it’s *people* who will click on your videos when searching within YouTube?
So, it makes not a darned bit of difference if you rank #1 and nobody clicks!
Thus, you want to ensure your title grabs the potential viewer by the earlobes and flaps them up and down.
For example, let’s say you made a marketing video about how to find the best possible affiliate programs for *you*. Yes, this is called “foreshadowing”.
You wouldn’t call the video:
- How to find the best affiliate programs for you.
Well, you *might*. But doesn’t
- Sure-Fire Tip for picking the most *profitable* affiliate programs
- Profitable affiliate programs that are *now* within your reach – how to find
sound a weeee bit better?
Hmmmmm?
Video SEO Tip #2 – give your viewer a call to action in your description
Videos rank not only because of technical thingees like SEO, but also because of how many times a video has been viewed, how many times it’s been shared and the like.
And the best way to increase your views is to ask your video viewer to rate/share it with their friends!
Make your description engaging and fun to read…and ideally include a link for viewers to find more information by visiting your site/affiliate link/etc. directly.
Video SEO Tip #3 – blog about your video *and* encourage inbound links
Think about videos for a sec.
You can find them on Youtube, right?
But…you can also see videos rank in search engine results too, right?
Thus…write a fantastic blog post that centers around your video and embeds your video as well.
But go one step further…
Transcribe (ie, write the dialogue of) your video on that blog post for even more SEO!
Think about it – you’ll end up with a blog post that is both
- Replete with keywords
and
- Showcases *your* video first and foremost.
It’s a definite win-win!
