Is Youtube marketing something to get into?

11 replies
Is anyone using youtube marketing here?

Is seems to me a good way to get traffic, you just need to create a good and enticing video and and make it seo freindly with a relevant keyword and then build a ton of backlinks to it.

Or is it harder than it sounds?

Sincerely
Karl

    Karl, you need to make good videos, do your keyword research and target
    a niche that actually has money to spend and willing to spend it on whatever
    you have to offer.

    No, it's not as easy as it sounds but if done correctly (I get many subscribers
    from my 40 plus videos online) it can work very well.

      I agree, I've just started to dabble in it, and it's not just a case of making video's and throwing them on a site. If you're after backlinks then yes maybe do that, but if you're after targetted traffic then more work is required.

    Actually I have *some* success with it.

    I am testing different things right now but there is so much to explore with Youtube. It's a big site (growing everyday) and I am totally focused in it right now.

    The sooner you get your testing ON, the better.

    People make good money selling to the rich. But the rich got rich selling to the masses.

    I've seen some good results from Youtube marketing.. as Steven suggests, it's worth while doing some keyword research first, but if you post your video as 'a response' to other, high traffic videos, you can really see some amazing results fairly quickly.

    I wouldn't rely on Youtube or build a business around it, but it can be quiet good when used to compliment your other marketing methods.

    i use video marketing for creating branding for offline business. The hits are quite pathetic but together with facebook and seo, it creates a more professional look = confidence in customers to buy products/services online

    I have used youtube to promote a number of different sites, e-commerce and information

    I have been using it with a lot of success for the last 6 months, it is better for lead generation than anything, you can always convert them later after they are on your list and they trust you.

    you videos either have to be very informative and entertaining for them to be effective, straight up commercials dont get a lot of response.

    I would never send them straight the viewer straight to an offer.

    and of course youtube and other video sites should only be a small part of your traffic strategy.
