The Rise Of The Video Comment

By Steven J Lucas  |   Submitted On January 26, 2014

   

Video blogging and marketing is on the up. Almost every new product that comes out has a video of at least half an hour (and some are up to 2 hours) telling you how good the product is - usually without really telling you what it is or how it is different to the other thousand or so products out there. But with the video sales page has come the video response or comment.

YouTube and many other sites actively encourage video responses to the videos that have been uploaded, but there's not a huge take up on it, which is a shame because for the affiliate or rival it is a golden opportunity to either piggyback or hijack the potential customer.

A video comment is exactly what it sounds like and what's more it will appear as a 'related video' in the block that appears at the end of the main event and possibly down the right side of the YouTube page. This means it is in clear view of someone who has just watched the item that brought them to the site and they are still receptive to the message it had given. This is an ideal time to make use of that attention.

Let's say that the main event is a video advertising a new e-course on, for instance, list building. The course is mostly sold by affiliates - who are mostly much of a muchness so anyone would do to buy from... Enter the canny video-commenter affiliate-marketer.

The video commenter would put up a video comment in praise of the product and perhaps offer a related bonus item which now increases the value to the potential buyer. The commenter now stands out from all the 'me too' guys and gets the sale.

You've probably noticed that a lot of Google ads have 'product name - is it a scam?' headlines to get you to click on them, taking you to a sycophantic review to get you to buy through their link. There's no reason why your video review couldn't use the same tactic - whether it's in praise or to show a rival product. Whatever the reason, you've pulled the customer to your site and link rather than someone else's.

If you happen to find a video that's really popular and going viral, you may even be able to get people interested who hadn't even come to look at something like your offer. Let's pick puppy videos as an example. Someone has put up a puppy doing something cute for the main video. Your video response comments directly about the video and at the end of your comment you slip in a line about your dog training guide and where people can get it from. It's related, it's relevant and a lot of people will see it. Ker-ching.

I'm sure by now that your head is buzzing with the ideas that video commenting could do for you.

All you need is a decent video camcorder - most mobile phones can manage video in HD resolution. Video editing programs exist for smart phones as well as Windows, Mac & Linux operating systems and are easy to use. Your video comment doesn't even have to be you talking into the camera. A PowerPoint presentation or some screen capture shots with perhaps your own voice over - or find a voice over artist to do one for you from fiverr.com or elance.com (depending on what you want or can afford) whatever will do the job. Your response video doesn't need to be more than a couple of minutes and could be the start of a whole new source of traffic.

If all of the above is too much for you simply write your comment and find websites that will convert your comment article into a video. There's plenty out there or it's back to the micro-job websites to find someone to do it for you.

All you need to do is to search out videos that are in your niche and are popular. YouTube lets you sort by recent popularity when you search for your niche's keywords so you should easily be able to find something suitable. Once you have some targets, the video commenting world is your oyster.

Boost Your Business With Website Conversion Marketing

By G Wilson  |   Submitted On January 30, 2014

   

Just what is website conversion marketing and how can it help you? Put simply, it uses analytics (the process of using statistics, computer programming and operations research to measure performance) to improve customer experience and ultimately to increase sales. It helps visitors navigate your site and find what they are looking for easily. In real-time it can determine if a visitor is confused or ready to leave your site. Through the use of messages, chat opportunities or redirection, it attempts to convert your visitor into a customer.

The conversion rate is defined as the number of goal achievements divided by the number of visits. A goal achievement could be the sale of a product or service, a membership registration, a newsletter subscription, a download, etc. Whatever your particular goal.

Website conversion marketing makes it easy for your visitors to get around your site, showcases your products, services and information in an effective way and, in return, you learn your customers' preferences, what they would like to see and how you can improve customer satisfaction. Unlike other search engine optimization strategies, it does not focus on increasing traffic; it improves your success by helping you convert existing traffic into customers. By using a conversion marketing platform, internet marketers have been able to increase their conversion rate by double-digit.

Some of the methods used to increase conversion rates are:

·         Improve website design, usability, and navigation.

·         Give visitors an opportunity to write a review of their experience on your site.

·         Introduce similar or compatible items to encourage repeat customers.

Improving your visitor's satisfaction while on your site and as a customer will go a long way in generating sales and repeat customers. Make it easy for visitors to contact you, have a clear return policy, offer various payment options and keep your customer informed regarding shipping and expected delivery time.

If you are not a web designer or technologically savvy, you may want to use a company or expert to optimize your site for conversion marketing. There are many companies available and many are well recommended. Do your research to ensure maximum return on your investment.

There is a lot to know about conversion marketing. This article is just a summary of the process. To be comprehensive would require more space than is available here. However, I hope this introduction will inspire you to delve deeper and apply the basics to your business. You will not be disappointed.

Facebook Advertising - The Secrets To Success

By Jon Amos  |   Submitted On February 07, 2014

   

With over a billion registered users and counting, Facebook has gradually transformed from a simple social site to one of the largest advertising platforms you can imagine. You actually have access to a number of tools that enable you to advertise you business to millions of potential customers you can count on to succeed in online business in terms of increased possibility of securing sales for your product(s) or service.

Successful Facebook advertising involves a number of several critical steps and the first of these is registration. Whether for personal or business, use of Facebook requires that you register with your email address and a password. This is in addition to other your specific details. It is only after successful registration that you can have access to Facebook. It is from your personal Facebook page that you can create your business page where several business tools are put at your disposal.

The second step to successful Facebook advertising lies in gaining a reasonable number of friends or followers. You need to realize that successful advertising on Facebook is not about making direct sales but creating relationships first. All that Facebook is about is relationship marketing. It is therefore very important that you gain a reasonable number of followers before you embark on advertising your business, product(s) or service. The benefit of having a reasonable number of friends or followers lies in the fact that they will be able to comment, share or like your business, product(s) or service once you introduce the same.

The third step and which is probably the most important one is in creating your business Ad(s), product Ad(s) or service Ad. This you can do by making use of Facebook's Ads creation tool available to you. Creating content-rich posts about your business or product is also very important. Because you already have a reasonable number of friends or followers, they will be able to share, comment or like your ads, actions that have the positive effect of popularizing your business and attracting more followers.

Although the above three are the most important steps you need to follow to successfully advertise your business on Facebook, there are very important issues you need to work on to succeed in your Facebook advertising efforts. The first of these is to understand your target market. You seriously need to define your target market in line with the several targeting factors that Facebook offers. Such targeting factors include location, age and interest among other factors.

A second issue you need to consider is size of your advertising budget. It is no secret that there are thousands who have spent significant amount of money advertising on Facebook but have failed to realize advertising success. It pays to set a Facebook advertising budget that you can comfortably manage. The ideal scenario is to set a long-term advertising budget (regardless of how low it may be) instead of spending a significant amount within a short time.

Advertising on Facebook requires that you closely monitor the performance of your advertising campaign(s). Because you may not make any sales at the start of your advertising campaign, it is important that you monitor the number of fans, likes and comments that your advertising attracts. Visiting Facebook's Ad Report Area gives you the opportunity to download three very important reports; responder profiles, responder demographics and advertising performance.

    Facebook Advertising - How To Make Your Business A Success

By Jon Amos  |   Submitted On February 11, 2014

Regardless of whether you have your own business website, Facebook provides you with the necessary tools to create ads through which you can easily attract Facebook users back to your website for your business success.

Business Exposure

Facebook advertising literally means exposing your business to millions of potential customers who access the site everyday. The ad creation tool that Facebook puts at your disposal provides you with a very good opportunity to expose your business and reap the benefits that online business provides.

Targeted Advertising

One great way that you can make your business on Facebook is to take advantage of the site's targeted advertising. Facebook allows you to target as specific segment of its users based on age, interest, location and much more. Facebook advertising also makes it possible for Facebook to place your ad(s) only on pages whose users mention specific keywords.

Customer Loyalty

Unlike with creating and promoting your business/product ad(s) on Facebook that cost you a minimal amount, establishing a loyal customer base on the site does not cost you anything except your time. Establishing a loyal customer base on the site is in no doubt one of the most effective ways to make your business a success. Just like with other business owners who have done it, you can easily create a fan page that makes it possible for you to interact directly with both your existing and potential customers.

How you can make your business a success using your Facebook business fan page is not limited to interacting with your customers. It is on the page that you can also announce any special offers or promotions. This is also the page on which you have the opportunity to launch new products/service.

Low Advertising Cost

You certainly need to advertise your business to reach out to a large population of potential customers. Even when advertising is indeed necessary, the need to keep advertising costs low should remain top on your mind. Compared to advertising in any other way, Facebook advertising is very cost effective. It gives you the opportunity to make your business a success by allowing you to specify cost of advertising you are prepared to incur when advertising.

Effective Facebook advertising requires that you remain conversant with any changes that Facebook adopts. For instance, Facebook has revised its image policy relating to advertisements. The policy states that ad text cannot take up in excess of 20% of ad image. Any ad created contrary to this policy is automatically banned. Because you need to focus on running your business, it may be necessary to engage the service of a social media marketing firm to run your Facebook advertising ad(s) to make your business a success.
