There’s a popular notion these days that YouTube videos can increase your WAHM rankings on google and others sites. While I haven’t done a lot of marketing on YouTube, which I should, I do think it can increase your ranking. Why? YouTube is a really popular site where, if you use a lot of really good keywords and your content is good content, you can get thousands of views on your videos. While you can’t use it for direct SPAM, you can add value to your products by doing reviews for them on YouTube which can help your site popularity.
At the webinar last night Mark Harbert discussed how releasing videos can increase your ranking on google and I really think he’s right. The problem I see is that people are so nervous about their videos that they never even try. I’m an example of this. Recently I chipped a bottom tooth and I have to go get it fixed. Even though there is a tooth, it looks like it’s not there so I’m just way too nervous to even try. I know, it’s a really lame excuse that I need to get over or go get it fixed. To get it fixed I need to make the money. To make the money I need to make the video. Vicious cycle, isn’t it?
So, I’m going to start making videos and with the motivational posts on other sites I’m going to get this together. There is no reason why I shouldn’t be making what I make per year in a month. There is no reason at all. That IS my goal is to make what I make in a month what I make in a year. I know it sounds crazy to some, but I know I can do it and you can too.
I think there are two big secrets of being successful with YouTube videos. One of these big secrets is to not give up. Make 1 or 2 per day and be persistent. This shouldn’t be difficult because YouTube even has a flash video recorder builtin to it and I can also make videos with my cell phone or netbook when I’m on the road. Easy! The other no brainer is that in order for people to see my videos I need to make sure my descriptions actually content in them. So many people forget this step and I think that’s why their videos aren’t seen. The more real information related to my video that I put in the description and tags, the more people will show up to see it. I’m not looking to make the most popular and funniest video on YouTube that gets millions of hits, but I am looking to make a video that can help other people. It might not get as many hits as the laughing baby or dog humping the neighbor’s leg, but it will get me moving in my business.
