Our mission here at HBSU and KC Visuals Unlimited is to help you tell your story and enhance your brand online using video. We understand that not every small business or independent professional has the budget to afford professionally produced videos for their website and social media site. However, we still encourage you to post videos that you create yourself, so why not make them as good as you can get them? With a few simple steps and some inexpensive equipment and software, you can create your own great videos. The book is very easy reading and designed to guide you through the process of planning, creating, and posting your videos for maximum impact.
Video Marketing is vital to most small businesses right now, and for many reasons. Search Engine Optimization is one of the main reasons for doing video, because it gives you an organic boost in rankings. Why? Mostly because Google owns the second largest search engine next to itself, called Youtube. So the search engines spiders that craw throught websites smile when they find video. SEO also looks at time spent on websites, so if you have a compelling message you can deliver via video, it keeps your audience on your site, giving you another organic boost. People don't want to read as much anymore. They want to watch video and learn about you quickly, while being entertained, engaged, and informed.
Planning may be one of the most overlooked steps in the video production process. Each video you do should have a specific intent and call to action. Before you ever shoot your video, you should identify who your audience is and then analyze the audience. Who are they? Where are they? What do they do? What is theiir problem or what is causing their pain? How can you help solve the problem or relieve the pain. Once you know who your audience is, you then establish objectives for your video. What should the audience learn or do after watching your video? What is the appropriate call to action? Remember, most landing page videos should only be 60 to 90 seconds, so you don't want too much in each video. Solve one problem or raise one question, so they are eager to see the next video in your video marketing campaign.
