Making A Viral Video
Posted by SEO SERVICES in Video Production on August 26th, 2010
You often hear that making a viral video is pure luck, but that’s just not true. Most of the videos that do go viral online were created with that goal in mind. The creators have to work quickly to push the video and get as many views as possible. By following the proper steps and using the right tools, you can get your video to go viral too.
The content of your video obviously plays a major role in getting it to go viral. It has to be entertaining and something out of the ordinary- either laugh-out-loud funny, or something that will make viewers say “wow!” The video quality doesn’t necessarily have to be great as long as the content makes people want to share it with their friends. Ideally, you want your video listed on YouTube’s “Most Viewed” page, as that will make your views grow quickly.
Your video should be short, only about 30 to 60 seconds long. Anything much longer than that is hard to get people to commit. Be careful when giving your video a title because that is a major attention-getter. Sometimes you may have to use something a little misleading to get a better viewership. When you tag the video, include as many tags as you can that will help people find it if they don’t know the title. Be sure the video is embeddable so it can be posted to various websites.
When you upload your video, you need to act quickly and get as many views as fast as possible. Start with your address book and email it to as many contacts as you can. Ask them to forward it on to help get the ball rolling. The next thing you’ll need to do is to post it to all your social networking sites and to friend’s profiles. That will give it good exposure to friends of friends. After that, move out into the web and start posting it on forums, blogs, and any other appropriate sites to get the most exposure.
A great way to a video noticed is to create controversy. Use several YouTube accounts to leave comments and start a dialog, an argument even. Very few viewers will leave comments, but many will read them, and the more comments your video has, the better. Get people interested and make them want to share the video.
YouTube posts thumbnail screens shots of your video as a preview. You will have three from which to choose. One of the screen shots always comes from the middle of your video, so make sure there is something in the middle that can be used to grab a viewer’s attention. Once you get your video out there and get people watching and sharing it, you can get it to go viral.

3 Extremely Important Online Advertising Tips
Posted by SEO SERVICES in Marketing and Advertising on June 28th, 2009
If you build it they will not come unless you tell them how to get there. I’m talking about your website! Most people fail to make money online because they never get any traffic to their site.
Why in the world would anyone start an Internet business and then not work hard at advertising it? That seems like such a basic thing yet most businesses never make any money because they never get any visitors that can be potential customers.
I am going to give you three very important Internet advertising tips that can be the difference between attracting visitors and doing Internet marketing where no one can find you.
1. Become an expert at one form of Internet advertising and do it until you are driving meaningful visitors to your site. Find one way of promoting online that you don’t mind sitting down working at every day and then do it over and over.
I understand that you cannot know what form of advertising you like to do until you try a few of them. Let me tell you right now that pay per click advertising is the fastest way to get quality traffic.
Article marketing combined with blogging and social marketing is the best free way to promote your business online. Certainly there are other ways that people promote online and become successful at.
I know people who sit in front of their computer and surf more than one traffic exchanges at one time. They enjoy this sort of thing and they become an expert at how to use the various traffic exchanges to their advantage.
The key point I want to make is find one and then zero in on it. I see people jump around from one thing to the next without inconsistency in what they’re doing. An off-line business wouldn’t run a yellow page ad for a week and then go around and tear their ad every book in town.
As a matter of fact off-line businesses run newspaper ads with yearly contracts. You need to have consistency in your advertising.
2. The second internet advertising tip I want to offer is make a budget and do some paid advertising. Even if it’s a small amount you should do something besides relying strictly on free advertising. One smart thing to do is to automate one form of your free advertising to enhance it.
An example of this would be taking a monthly subscription with an article submission company. Then work as hard you can to get as many articles into the marketplace using that article submission service.
3. As you begin to make a profit reinvest some of it back into promoting your business in other ways. Don’t go out and waste the money and have fun if you’re a serious Internet marketer. Have a long-term vision for your business and continue to pour money back into advertising and promotion every chance you get.
