The practicality of traditional marketing methods, in many parts of marketing are gone. Applying viral marketing video to increase the amount of visitors to a site is over time is definitely becoming a winning popularity. The game has changed, and striving to be different to set yourself apart to potential visitors is becoming increasingly tougher. Consumers are no longer impressed by marketing moxie and gadgets. These types of things don’t pack as much punch as they used to. Sure, some things are still effective, but Internet viewers are now suffering from a major case of A.D.D.
There is so much information being fed into our heads each day, most of us aren’t paying attention like we once were, in the infancy of the internet. It’s becoming the time to set yourself up for using video in your niche empire! Modern sites for video volume are coming about more day after day on the Internet. It’s powerful, very powerful. Viral marketing videos are getting insanely huge!
While I don’t implement video very often on my own blog, I certainly do use it on various salespages that I have. These pages are usually used in a pre-sell process and they are very professionally produced. Yeah, it cost me money to put these things together, but, compared to the job I could have done with video myself, well worth it. Personally, I don’t own video equipment, other than perhaps my Camtasia program and my webcam to produce videos.
Joe Swopes, one of my good friends online won a Flip Mino camera a little while back. If you aren’t sure what a Flip Mino is, it’s a newer Camcorder style of camera that has become very popular recently, especially with bloggers. From what I understand, they are very easy to use, and very flexible types of cameras which a blogger can be incoporating into his marketing. One day, I’d like to pick one of these baby’s up myself.
Joe took his new prize and started using it with his blogging at I’m With Joe. It almost seemed to increase his blog’s popularity overnight. Joe started to deliver his content through video. Guess what happened? People started to talk about it. People really started to enjoy coming back and viewing Joes blog on a daily basis. Also, his popularity in the blogsphere is beginning to rise. All this, simply, from how he started delivering his content. Now that’s powerful if you ask me!
So do you think your traffic will improve somewhat virally with video. Yes, absolutely. Joe is a great example of this. It helped his blog very quickly, and it gained him a much greater following and readership because people started talking about Joe….viral traffic my friends! Word of mouth…word of MOUTH…viral marketing!
Your business can be helped in a multitude of creative methods with viral marketing. There is always companies with giant performance budgets. But, you don’t need a huge budget to go viral. That is encouraging and can mean that even the smallest of operations will benefit from this. You have the capacity to do a large amount of interesting things for making viral marketing video with just a web cam. It’s quite possible to have the parallel influence with a “do it yourself” video as the big budget competition do with their large budgets and top notch gear.
Whichever ways you might look at it, viral videos are growing in inventiveness and popularity, thus resulting in success for the people who are using them. Viral marketing videos shouldn’t continue to be ignored much longer, this is no-nonsense business. If your ambition is to be a major competitor in the future, your best bet will be to get involved now. If you can get started learning how to put together viral internet marketing videos now, it’s only going to help you in the future. The future of using video is only going to get stiffer…the more you learn now, the better.
Obviously, to have the greatest cutting-edge methods of spreading your message to the world, in my definite opinion, is through viral marketing. Hell, I created a blog around it! Put into practice, you should receive noticeable to huge results if you put a very guided effort into your viral marketing strategies for your sites and/or services.
Just as with any new skill, success creating viral marketing videos will require time and practice. The more you work at it, the the better chance of reaping great results will be. Some of your attempts will be successful, others won’t. But without a doubt, you need to establish viral videos as a marketing technique, as soon as possible.

I can’t agree with you more on this, Davin. I may be new to this game, but I do know that video grabs your attention.
Would you say that it’s better to have written comment along with video or have video as exclusive content? I ask because I can’t tell you how many sales pitch pages I’ve been to that I actually just closed the page because the video or audio started playing without even giving me a choice.
The great thing about Joe’s blog is that sometimes he has written content, sometimes video, sometimes both, but you gotta start the video player. It doesn’t just take over.
I’ve been contemplating figuring out how to add video to my own blog - I’m just not all that fond of my own mug! Do you think audio on a blog can be as effective or do you think the market is primarily asking for video?
Dustins last blog post..A Provacative Thought - Now Who Am I?
Well actually Dustin. Both of these situations are entirely different.
If it is a sales page for a product your job as a marketer is to catch people’s interest as fast as you can. So if it’s a direct sales page for a product, then yes, I agree the video should start playing automatically. Unless, the featured video happens to be in the middle of the page, then that bothers me to. But if you can actually see the video at the top of the page when it opens, and you are watching the video straight away, well it’s gonna grab you…they do this for a reason.
I’d say it’s always good to mix it up with your text and videos on your blog, but, on a blog it’s a little different. A blog is not meant for hard selling people. A blog is to inform people, create trust with your readers, and in turn earning people’s trust and commitment will garnish eventual sales for the marketer.
The best thing to remember about marketing is to always give and help people. It’s the same as in God’s teachings, “Give, and you shall receive.” The same goes for establishing loyal customers in your online business. The more you give…the more you will get back!
Cheers Dustin
Take care,

Good points, Davin. I guess you’re right - a sales page has a different reason for existing than a blog.
Definitely agree with the last thing you said there, too! It’s true, I think, in all walks of life!
