I bet my morning bowl of wheaties that you, or someone you know, has seen a video posted on the Internet. Have you see the “Last Lecture by Randy Pausch”, Carnegie Mellon Professor diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? it’s a compelling video that renders you motionless in your seat. As of today, this video has been viewed 2,784,716 times. Imagine the power of video marketing to send a message and then think of the possibilities for any business!
Our clients can ride this “wave of opportunity” by leaping into video production marketing and you can be there to help them.
Step 1. Client makes a video – all you need is a webcam and you are set.
Step 2. Clients sends video to VA using YouSendit or KeepandShare
Step 3. VA submits the video to video sharing sites such as YouTube, AOL Video, Google Video, MySpace, Metacafe, Revver and more…
But even better, check out TubeMogul to mass-submit the videos to many sites at once…a great time-saver for your clients. And even better, they offer a stats section where you can track the “views” on the various sites!
However, don’t stop with your clients, these steps could easily be used to market your VA business so pull out the webcam, add a little lip gloss (just for female VA’s) and you are on your way!
Curious about Professor Randy Pausch’s Lecture (it’s 1.16 hours in length but is full of tips and wisdom for all), you can watch it here on YouTube.
To your Success..
