Video Marketing is one of the most talked about marketing strategies for Network
Marketers. But as in all fields, success doesn’t come as easily as some
purport it to come. If you have been trying to market
your business online for very long at all, I am sure you are aware of all the
pitches about how video marketing is the bomb-diggety and that millionaires are made
overnight using YouTube alone.

But so what? What does that mean for you?

Unfortunately, not everybody that tries their hand at video marketing succeeds
but everybody is still going on about those that are. You know, that idiot teenager that is making
a killing on YouTube. Whatever happened to seniority and wisdom from age?

Most people that follow these hotshots or try to duplicate their success don’t
seem to be as “lucky”. In fact, many of them don’t get any results at all.

What makes such a huge difference? Are these promoters holding back some of the keys to
really succeeding, or are you just not getting the big picture?

Videos DO tend to jump to the top of search rankings faster than a lot of other
types of content. People tend to prefer videos to articles hands down because,
let’s face it, people are lazy and it is easier to watch a video than it is to
read a boring article.

But will simply posting a video on your mlm company bring you overnight success
like it did for Joe Schmoe? Probably not…

Video marketing is one of many methods to get more traffic. Just like any
other method, it has its pros and its cons, but more on that in a later article.

The concept I’d really like to share with you is the idea of spamming a video to
as many sites as possible to get it out there.

Does it really help?

There is service after service that promises to make your life easier by
doing most of your video marketing, but there is one thing that you really can’t cut any corners
on if you are going to really be successful.

Creating valuable video content with a relevant title and keywords.

That pretty much sums it up.

Regardless of the number of sites you submit to, it’s not really going to
matter if it shows the workmanship of a kindergartener
that hasn’t had his nap yet.

Lots of people in the MLM industry are feverishly searching for ways to get more leads for
their MLM business without actually having to think or work, when the truth is,
if their business is ever going to get the leads they are after, it is going
to be because they got off their keisters and made something happen.
They’ve got to become more valuable. They are going to have to learn more about
whatever it is they are trying to market so that they really ARE the expert,
and not just some frightened beginner, which can take some time.

After you have mastered creating your own value packed videos, then submitting them
to a lot of different sites can make things happen for you.

There is more than one service out there that you can use to submit your videos
- the two that I would recommend are Traffic Geyser and Tubemogul.

However, before making a decision, let me tell you about the differences
between the two. You can use Tubemogul for free, while
Traffic Geyser will give you a $1 trial, but then you will have to pay every month to
keep your account active. If you go the Traffic Geyser route there is a little more
motivation to succeed. Traffic Geyser sends your videos to a lot more directories
and sites than Tubemogul does, but really only because Traffic Geyser is a lot
more lax about helping to enforce the terms and conditions of the respective
video sites.

Either way that you go (I recommend Tubemogul, especially for newbies), you
will be able to get your content out to more people by using one of these
services, and then if you have put in the blood and sweat to create some really
awesome valuable content, you won’t have to worry too much about getting traffic.

Keep in mind that all of this is only one marketing method, and that you
shouldn’t keep all your eggs in one basket. You should find two or
three marketing methods that you love and become a black belt at them. Don’t
ever stop learning… keep adding new tools to your arsenal, but only after you
have mastered the ones you already have.

Until you have mastered them, I recommend putting on the blinders and going to work.
