Youtube And You - 5 Suggestions To Impressive Videos
But when I make a marketing and advertising video I have a clear-cut rationale in mind. I might direct the viewer in the direction of a blog, to my sales page or squeeze page or have them download and read a free report I've written. 2. Do your best to make the video short. So many folks ramble on in videos… Don't do that. If you have a tendency to run off at the mouth, jot down a script and stick to it. Keep it under ninety seconds to start with. As you improve, you will be capable of saying more in less time. Consider, TV commercials. They say a bunch in just 30 seconds. 3. Put some air behind your vocal cords. When you talk in a monotone and sound as though you're in a daze, a good number of people will click off your video within seconds. Then, if they do make it to the end, it will be your painfully uninteresting voice that will stick in the mind, not the significance of your video. I am speaking from experience now, I have a rather low voice and tend to talk in a monotone. I hired a vocal coach and we worked on my tone of voice over the telephone. He was able to listen to my voice and told me what I had to look out for and how to correct it. His coaching was a bit costly, nevertheless well worth it. 4. Be Entertaining, instructive, perhaps even a little controversial. I watched quite a few videos yesterday in preparation of writing this article. A couple of the videos ended up being nothing more than someone reciting his Clickbank income totals over the past two years, how tedious. I wanted to shout, "I'm sure you are proud of how well you are doing… So go tell your mommy. But enlighten me how you grew to be successful." If you don't agree with the status quo, enlighten us. Don't be frightened to create waves in a niche. Your seemingly little wave could have your video go viral and flip your marketing world upside down. 5. Give them a clear call to action. Look, placing your URL across the bottom or the top of your video is not a call to action (it's also not a terrible idea). Use your ability to speak, be sincere, be authentic and ask people to do what you would like them to do. That is a call to action. Don't be passive or apologetic in asking for the sale or whatever it is you desire your audience to do, consumers will welcome your direction. Don't make customers guess at what you want.
