Here’s how to make the most of digital marketing with video.

Teach Something

Use video to teach your audience something. You can share your screen, or you can share your craft table. It all depends on what you’re trying to demonstrate. If you have a bricks and mortar store, for example a restaurant, why not teach the cooking of one of the customer favorites?

Optimize Your Videos

Create excellent titles, make the content something your audience wants, include a link to your website, brand your video with your logo, let people share the video freely and fill out the description carefully using keywords.

Start on YouTube

While you want to start on YouTube because that is where many of your audience members are, don’t stop there. There are other avenues such as Facebook, Vine, and Blab.im.

Educate Your Audience

Use the videos to educate your audience, debunk myths, and get the word out about something important to your audience. You can make short one- or two-minute videos with a special tip or one focus only.

Answer Questions

When your audience asks questions on social media, a video is a great way to answer the question in a more personal fashion. You can then place it on the media where the question was asked (or on YouTube) and link back to it. Better yet, embed it in your website, and link to them there.

Review Products

A great way to use video in marketing is to compare products with each other and review them. People like seeing how products work and a video is a great way to do that.

Conduct Demonstrations

One of the best uses of video is to demonstrate something. Since people can see how anything works online you can demonstrate an appliance, a game, a car, machine or anything where visuals help to show how it works.

Grow Your List

Don’t forget to link to your website and newsletter via the videos. Always ask your audience to subscribe to your newsletter to get updates about your business or just to find out about more videos.

You can use videos to debunk myths, tell your story, share case studies and so much more. With video it’s almost like being there live, and it makes it easier to explain tough concepts to others. You can even get your audience involved and ask them to submit videos too.
