- We have lots and lots of users\nacross many of the world’s video screens\n
- This is not just people watching YT on their desktop\nYoutube is accessible from anywhere\n
- YouTube is becoming a more natural part of people’s everyday life\n
- 700 YT videos tweeted per minute\n
- Hopefully now you are convinced that YT is a great platform for connecting with the world using video. We think its important for businesses to start thinking about how to leverage this platform\n
- How would you approach this?\nNot really sure... the key to success on YouTube is content. Lot’s of people don’t have much experience creating video content and we are going to share some tips and examples to get you started.\n
- People are always one click away from leaving your video, so it’s important to make entertaining content.\nDo a vote\n
- There’s lots of things you can do with video. First think about what your goal is. Since today’s audience might have lots of comapnies that are just getting going we wanted to focus on these 3 goals.\n
- Raise awareness for your brand using sight sounds and motion. Lets first talk about PR\n
- \n
- < AJ to link article>\nif you create a video, its easier for lazy bloggers to write about your product, also a better way to control the message.. no one can butcher your product.\n\n
- - Product videos are not a one time thing, it should be an ongoing thing as you continue adding features \n- if you have a complex product break content into several videos\n- SF has been great at this they have almost 3k videos and 9 M views. It&#x2019;s been so effective that it is almost like a 2nd sales force for them. Creating content can be a cost effective way of generating sales. \n- create a series\n\ndror: AJ, what if your screencasts are boring.... what do you do then?\n
- Recently launched suggested edits, we were targetting very casual users who just wanted to push a button and have their videos look better... these users wouldn&#x2019;t be interested in a screen cast or a tutorial.\nSo we created a quick fun animation to explain the new feature in a super casual way.\nIts also great for those of you who are camera shy.\n\n
- More about individuals then about the product. Bring community to life. Etsy creates how to vidoes \nBrand backstory.\ntalked a lot about product videos but teaching people about your brand is just as important\nmkt place\nif you still have no idea what to do, dror is going to show you some ways to get inspired and to create content without ever picking up a camera.\n
- \n
- YT isn&#x2019;t like TV, it&#x2019;s important to understand which videos are succeeding. \nWe encourage you to start by watching lots of videos on youtube... it&#x2019;s what we do all day.\nBeyond that you can go into our charts and check out popular videos in lots of different categories and if you want to stay current on the latest trends and these we continaully update our trends blog with what the audience is picking up on.\n
- Dror, but what if my audience is 15 year old boys in Buffalo\n\nThen you have problems... but we do have this powerful tool called the trends dashboard... if you want to go deeper you can slicce and dice by gender, location and age. This will help you get a better idea of what your target audience is watching already.\n\n
- Your community might be marketing you already, curating is a great way to form a hub around your brand.\nFan footage is equally great if not better\n
- If you have trouble being inspired imagine how much trouble your audience has... why not tell them what to do. 25% of these contributors had never uploaded a video before. Just because no one has never uploaded a video about your product it doesn&#x2019;t mean they never will. Get creative and give them a construct for uploading.\n
- how to get picked up: \nbe comprehensive: once you get picked up you can&#x2019;t change the video need all the info, maybe do a few short ones too. Think about curators you want to target.\nbe early\nfew different lenses\n
- Now that you have some good content and traffic you need to close the loop. Drive traffic back to your site.\n
- \n
- Projects on indigogo that have a video raise 114% more money than those that don&#x2019;t\n\nShow your product and the people behind your product.\nBring personality of your company to life using sight sound and motion.\nAuthenticity = people behind videos\n
