Internet Marketing Service

Internet Marketing Service

Internet Marketing Service can mean many things. It is the way of advertising your business on- line.  Also known as content marketing, internet marketing is the process of promoting your business, brand, products and/or services on the worldwide web.

Internet marketing a broad term that can include video, content, emails, photography, blogs and more.  The more in our case is also using broadcast media as part of your advertising.  More on that later.

On-Line Content Creation

The key today is consistent content creation that puts your message out to your audience as often as possible.  Some do posts daily, with what the special is that day.  Others, pick a day or two and schedule content that educates and informs the prospect.  It is not just about sell, sell, sell. It is about the Why.  Why does your product help solve my problem.  How else can I use it?  These are all part of the branding process and understanding your costumer.

From Blogs to Posts

When using the web as your marketing tool, there are many factors.  You are after content that the search engines like Google sees to show your websites relevance and the social media side of reaching your audience.  Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Google My Business are all part of the mix.  Having a handle on consistent content is a job. 

 What kind of content works well with Internet Marketing Service

* Videos are engaging, entertaining, and they connect with the prospect.  Consistent content helping your customer, for example create a series that covers many topics: 5 ways to use our product to save time and money.   Top ten reasons our product works.  These are hype style videos that work for a number of reasons.  1) You are sharing how to use your product.  2) Not selling but informing.  Push out a video like this every week.  

People want to know more about you and your business.  In addition to the hype style videos, mix in Video Profiles of your staff.  Have your audience get to know what is going on behind the scenes.  People eat this up.  Why, people like watching and knowing how something is done.  From how the widget is made to how the fudge or beer is made.  AND, who does it.  We are making a connection here.  

Instructional videos can impact your audience in many ways.  Take the healthcare industry.  There are a ton of articles on how to loose weight.  If you are a doctor then having videos of you providing knowledge in an easy to understand way goes a long way in turning the prospect into a customer.  Taking it a step further, having members of the nursing staff or your traditionalist produce videos on cooking tips and tips to help.  This approach fills up your youtube channel with quality content it also provides information for your blog articles, social media posts and more.

Video testimonials are another important part of your video mix.  Customer Testimonials, Video Testimonials.

Using LIVE video on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube is another good way to connect.

* Info Graphics, Memes are another great way to continue your marketing message.  Infographics can be engaging, fun, educational and a wonderful way to visually present your information.

These can include: charts, graphs, pictures, and illustrations. More important these are easy to understand and visual.  Here is a basic infographic.

Let’s not forget memes.  Using imagery to engage in more often than not in a funny way.  We have even used video memes to share content about DW Video.  See video meme below.

*Blog Posts help with SEO.  If you have not seen it yet.  Videos, Infographics and content all come together in blog posts.  A good rule of thumb is to write 300-600 words for each of your blogs.  Focus on the main keyword message and educate.

Best way to use YouTube video links

Sharing YouTube Links

The not so good way to use use Youtube Video Links.

Best way to use YouTube video links. Today, we are lazy and look for the quick way to get our information out. Are you lazy – scroll down to get the answer.

Was at a meeting the other day.  Casey ask Cal to send him some YouTube links.  How many of you have done this?  You get the URL link and place it into an email and send it off.  Sounds simple and easy.  Well lets look at what you potential have done. STOP – what have we really done here?  We all have watched videos and at the end up pops twelve more ‘Suggested Video’ for us to look at.  Can I say SQUIRREL.  We click and are gone.  Right there in front of us is our competition.  We have with one simple click put our competitors in front of our audience.  Shame on us! This is not the best way to use YouTube video links.

What is the Best way to use YouTube video links?

Before I give you a simple way to share your videos. We all want more traffic to our website.  We want to drive people to our site so we increase our brand.  Plus bringing them to our website over a YouTube Channel personalizes our message.

Use YouTube Links

Embed your videos within our website and use that UrL when sharing videos.

So here is the best way to use YouTube video links.  Ready….

Create a page on your website and embed the video within this page.  Write and create content for this page that represents the benefits you provide.  The really cool part of this – the prospect is on YOUR WEBSITE!!!!

Now when you send out a link to your video or videos they are within your website.  Here is another free tip.  If you are using WordPress there is a plug in that allows you to block the suggested videos that come up at the end.   It is nice because there is a check box that that state ‘Disable Related Video Content’. Once the video is complete it goes back to your thumbnail.  This simple tips makes you look very professional.

Do not give your prospects a chance to go else where.  Direct them to your website.  Turn them from a prospect to a customer.

Contact Duane today at 231-937-5420.  We are ready to produce videos for you.

Video marketing using YouTube

Video_Marketing_YouTube

Dr. Harpreet Singh had DW Video produce over 80 videos in six months to build their YouTube Channel.

West Michigan needs to use video marketing to build an audience, build trust and credibility. These are three very important reasons to use video marketing in your business, school, church and non-profit. Everyone has a story to tell. Video marketing is an ideal way to tell it. DW Video is your resource – 231-937-5420.

As we know YouTube is everywhere. YouTube as we know, is a huge search engine and social media gathering place. Do you want to get noticed by potential clients? Do you want to build a connection with them? Video Marketing is the answer.

Today, YouTube has changed how we watch video and how video can be used to market your business, demonstrate your product and inform your audience… turning prospects into customers.

With Video Marketing, content is KING. At DW Video, so many of our videos over the past few years have become simpler and more cost-effective. Dr, Harpreet Singh approached us in the fall of 2013. He wanted to inform and educate patients. Not only with through educational content but through the power of the video testimonial. In less than six months we produced nearly 80 videos on YouTube (VitalChecklist) as our platform for distribution. We are using YouTube to support http://www.vitalchecklist.com/, http://www.drsinghmd.org/ and other sites currently being worked on now.

It is important to Dr. Singh to reach out to his audience which includes Patients, Students and Medical Professionals. The audience for his video marketing content is huge on-line. The key element in the ‘rules according to Duane’ is to keep it personal. People want to get to know you. Personalize, educate and through this process turn prospects into customers. Get people to like you and follow your content. This is why video is so powerful for you and your business.

Grand Rapids Inventors Network YouTube Channel.

I like doing business with people I know and trust. Video marketing allows an opportunity for you to do just that. It is about sharing your knowledge. Making it real. It is about credibility. It is okay to be a little rough around the edges. Just be you.

In closing, people like stories that are to be continued. Do not give away all your knowledge in one video. Share it over many videos. Build up your youtube channel with content that is helpful for your audience.

Michigan, I am here to help you. Give me a call at 231-937-5420. There is no charge for the initial consultation. Heck, we have to get to know you better to be able to help. This way we can tell your story.

Cheers
