INTERNET MARKETING

Now that Youtube is shutting down many accounts with
internet marketing videos.

What alternatives are out there. i.e. video sharing, storage
and marketing methods to get our videos seen.

  There is a ton more as well. It really depends on exactly what your trying to do and who your trying to reach.
  
  We use vimeo, cause we are media production guys who want our stuff to look its best. But some of the other sites are better at 'virality' for lack of a better term.
  
  I have a bunch of other sites, but this forum will not let me post links until i have a 15 post count (internet marketing forum, really?)
  
  PM me, and I will send you all the links, sites, etc., or just look them up your self.
  
  Here are some others:
  
  Daily Motion
  Yahoo Video
  Revver
  VideoJug (for how-tos)
  Break
  Live Video
  Video Surf
  Flurl (video search engine)
  Blinkx (video search engine)
  Fooooo (video search engine)
  Clip Blast (video search engine)
  
  Thanks

  Yahoo video no longer accepts members submissions. All member submitted videos were removed a couple of years ago.
  
  Revver has been offline for maybe a year, maybe longer.

  Yeah I agree. I really like vimeo. Just wish we could embed vimeo videos here in the forum rather than having to use youtube.

+1 to vimeo, that's what most of my friends use to promote their business related videos. dailymotion/metacafe are used somewhat viral-ly but vimeo probably has the best selection of well put together videos I've seen.

  Thanks for all the suggestions.
  
  I don't have high quality videos, just thinking of making
  simple amazon PP type videos.
  Which sites do you feel would be best suited for them.
  And which places the least ads on my videos.
  
  Also, waiting on comments for storage and marketing methods.
  
  Thanks.
  
  Thanks

While you should certainly make use of the alternatives, YouTube is definitely still viable if you know how to make things stick.

I use Vimeo a lot. It lets you customize the player however you want. You can also choose to add a clickable link at the end if you want which is really awesome for promoting your site.

you can use the other sites. But I can tell you someone who does youtube and a radio station. When we do our videos we get far more traffic from youtube, and we submit to the others all the time.

The key is ...good content, good keywords useage (SEO) and bringing content that goes viral, or people are hunting for. Give them what they want!!

I know those other sites are good, but you will not beat youtube in terms of traffic. They are the powerhouse, and main player. SO you will get the best results from uploading to them. As long as you follow my #key rules# above.

Video marketing is still very popular and can bring you insane results.

Good luck.

  I am intending to use the ranking of multiple YouTube videos, with me speaking to the camera etc, as another source of traffic, since they seem to be quite easy to rank when some backlinks are sent to the video.
  
  However, I am also concerned that YouTube could remove the entire collection in one fell swoop since they don't seem to be particuarly keen of any sign of internet marketing or make money online mentioned in the video.
  
  I am considering maybe purchasing one of the Wordpress Video Sitemap plugins and hosting my own videos to have total control of them and not be dependent on YouTube. I wonder how easy those self-hosted videos would be to rank compared to YouTube ones.
  
  Thanks

For hosting you could try TechSmith | Screencast.com, online video sharing, Home

I think they allow like 2gb of videos per free account.

  Now that's a good idea - Something I'll look into as maybe a better
  solution than Amazon S3.

Vimeo and Viddler can give you high quality videos (good for presentations on websites). Couple bucks a month.

I'd say it really depends what you're looking for out of the videos though. SEO, sales pitch, intro vid?

Social media has evolved fast and people nowadays utilize this form of information dissemination whatever the reason may be. Having videos presented and making it available to everyone is still the best marketing strategy that anyone could think of right now, especially if you can do it for free.

YouTube is popular worldwide and no doubt that in any country you go, people know what YouTube is all about. It is like part of your reflexes when you want to watch on how to earn money. The first thing that you will normally open is YouTube as you start doing your search.

If your business can go on a global scale and YouTube is no longer viable, then I believe that Vimeo will help you a lot. You can place a link at the end of the video and people can go to these sites directly after watching your presentation. It’s instant marketing at its finest.

  vimeo is the best. u can have a paid account for $10 a month and add privacy to your vid etc. really good service. and cheap. or u can just use it free too.
  
  if you wanna get more serious. u can always get easy video player 2. that is a self hosted platform with amazon s3 to stream your vids. u can hide your controls, remove the pause button, get stats on when ppl stop watching your video so u can make changes and convert more. super powerful.
  
  hope that helps...
  
  Thanks

How do they determine if a video is a marketing video?
The reason I say that is that an educational video can sometimes seem like a marketing video.

Do they send a warning? Or you just get your account shut down?

I concur with the youtube statement...just because things are changing on whats being posted...doesn't mean you should abandon youtube all together...sure you can post to more sites.....but of course youtube is the main beast.....if we have problems getting sites to rank on google do we just forget google..no we learn what google wants and cater to it as such...same with youtube.....do bank everything at once...spread the risk...as with everything in business...
