Turtleknife reaches one million views on YouTube!
Although I am proud of the massive number of views, I am posting this as a source of proof to any one new to the business that a video content and marketing strategy, IMHO has significant advantages because:
1 - Videos entertain as much as they do educate. You can have the exact same valuable written content in an article, but displayed by PowerPoint on video adds immeasurable entertainment value - even with poor production!
2 - With video, you are bearing much more of yourself and your vulnerability, to the point where viewers tend to give you more acceptance, and credibility and can more easily justify you as a market leader, rather than just having your name at the end of an article.
3 - Videos are more viral than articles, and by using a watermark and intro/exit you will always get credit for the production of that content, no matter where it is posted on the internet.
If I was just starting out is what I would do after you have chosen a niche for yourself:
Write or buy a free 7 day email course and convert each lesson to video articles, where in each email you are promoting an affiliate product.
Write or buy 25 to 50 articles. Rewrite 2 versions of them so that you have 75 to 150 articles. One version will be a script for the video, another version you can send to article sites with keyword link-back strategies, and the third version will be for your own website content.
Get Camtasia and PowerPoint. Create four or five simple displays in PowerPoint using text and graphics. Then record over these (changing) displays using Camtasia, while reciting an article. Have your domain address as a transparent overlay throughout the video. Post the video on YouTube with accompanying key words as titles, and URLs in the information sections. Try to do 2 or 3 of these a week, each covering a simple, but valuable concept. (ie - giving something away).
Set up a Wordpress or Joomla blog and start scheduling regular content additions, including an RSS feed to your website, but make sure there is a prominent sign-up option on each page of the website.
Set up another blog at blogger.com with complementary keywords linking back to your site and others . Add free e-zine content to this site on a regular basis. Add your own YouTube videos to this site as well, while adding a paragraph of new content to each video page.
Focus on 2 or 3 main keywords, and 10 to 12 LSI key words. When you achieve first page status, pick some of those LSI keywords or more competitive keywords related to your first website, and wash, rinse, repeat.
I have gotten lots of help in this forum already, so anyone who needs advice on video marketing can PM me or reply here and I will help as much as I can.
