Can Anyone Recommend A Top Video Marketing Course?

9 replies
Hi Everybody...

I'm really getting into video currently and would love to learn much more about it.

I'd particularly like to know how to drive traffic using YouTube, both in regards to my own websites and also as a service I can offer to others too.

Can you recommend any training courses to achieve this? Ideally such a course would include ideas on best equipment, video shooting and editing techniques. However I'm mostly interested in the latest YouTube traffic strategies.

Any ideas from you guys would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

    Hey Tim, a great product I've bought is Video Traffic Academy by James Wedmore.

    "Ideally such a course would include ideas on best equipment, video shooting and editing techniques. However I'm mostly interested in the latest YouTube traffic strategies."

    VTA has all of those things you mentioned, and I highly recommend it.

    Only downside is that it isn't "cheap"; I paid $97 for it but it's worth every last dollar.

    Plus, James is a pretty fun and interesting guy, and he teaches well.

    Regards,
    Daniel

    P.S. just do a search for him on YouTube, you'll see why I like the guy so much.

      A few hours ago, I attended a "live" webinar presented by James where he gave what appeared to be excellent tips for getting YouTube videos ranked on the first page of both YouTube and Google, and I certainly intend to give them a try. An hour and a couple minutes into the webinar, James revealed a 6-module training program named VideoROI which he described as his "complete, step-by-step YouTube marketing training system". At 1:15:07 he started a 10-minute countdown timer for fast acting buyers to get a bonus app.

      Anyway, as my browser (Firefox) had a button to download flash and video, just for the heck of it, I clicked the button to do that just a few minutes after the webinar had started. Wanna guess what happened? It finished recording the entire "live" event long before the event had finished! In other words, attendees were just watching a recorded event and for all we know, the questions we were typing into the chat box were being sent into some black hole in cyberspace when we hit enter.

      Why do some internet marketers feel they have to resort to these type of tactics? Couldn't James simply have promoted the event as a recording to begin with? I would still have viewed it. From certain statements in the video, I gather it was recorded sometime late last year, which would mean that most (if not all) of the techniques described would still work today. Why the deception of a "fast action bonus"? This isn't the first time I've encountered a recorded webinar being passed off as live. The SAAS used this time was called Ewebinars. Any of you guys familiar with this app?

        Very good point , many marketers are just in the process of money making and the human touch is lacking.. even the live webinars , they are so much on tracked . they just dont care.

    The real key to video marketing is being able to make good (not great) videos as quickly and easily as possible. And a big part of making videos quickly and easily is having access to a wide variety of stock media, including video, pictures, photographs, clipart...and a decent microphone.


    A very important concept to understand with Youtube marketing is that search is NOT the biggest source of traffic for Youtube views. Instead, it's YT internal traffic such as being listed as a related video on the video view page of popular videos. Sure, YT and Google search does bring traffic, it's really a vanity issue. Getting your videos included on the pages of popular videos will bring you more views.
