    In this video plays vital role and the submission site where you are uploading your video. If the site is of dofollow then you will get more benefit and if not you have a chance of getting traffic.

    Video marketing can be hugely effective. If you simply create powerpoints add music or do a simple voice over, you can create a bunch of videos very quickly and have SOME success.

    However, if you dedicate time to putting your face in front of videos and have a much more interactive and personal feel to your videos on sites like YouTube, you can get thousands of views, many subscribers and create a constant source of traffic to your web page.

    Video Marketing is also a great way to get subscribers to your social media profiles: Twitter (followers), Facebook (fans), or any other social media platform you may choose. Users tend to *notice* that familiar Social Media URL a bit more than they may your website URL, but if you provide quality information on your Social Media pages, you can gain viewers on those pages where you can send out regular updates and information to direct them to your website on a regular basis.

    Hope this helps!

    I just got into video marketing I haven't had a lot of views to my videos yet but hopefully soon. I made them thru article video robot they very easy to make this way if you don't want to talk on camera. It's is kind of fun making them too. Here is a sample video I made for my poker site this one is with a talking robot you can change the voices put pictures in the videos and add music it's really cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqgxMnMnPNQ

    Without a doubt. Go to Youtube.com and go to the channels section. When you get there sort by most popular. Some of these stupid videos are getting hundreds of thousands of page views that have absolutely no substance.

    If you go this route I would go with "whacky" style videos with a catchy headline. Be sure to sign up with YouTube's affiliate program so Adsense ads appear on your videos and if clicked on you get a portion of that too. After uploading your video submit it to the social networking / bookmarking sites to get more exposure. Don't forget to copy and paste the code and put on your website / blog too.

    Video marketing is a very effective mode for marketing. But one has to be very careful while designing the videos, if there is some fault in it then they will pass an reverse effect. Means if you are planning for videos then go for best ideas.

    Video are a great way to market because, if done right, can not only drive traffic to your site, but help to keep them on your site long enough to watch the video and get your message across. Also, because not many are using it for marketing purposes, people have not yet developed "ad blindness" when seeing them.

    Hi,

    From what I have read so far, Video Marketing can be very effective if done correctly. Many people do not fully follow the principles of doing 'good' video marketing.

    Pat over at The Smart Passive Income Blog is doing a series on Video Marketing. Part 1 is up and is the latest post right now.

    Quote:

    "YouTube.

    It’s been around for over 5 years, yet for some reason most bloggers still haven’t explored the video sharing platform where millions of people around the world are watching over 2 billion videos a day.

    I took the SPI brand onto YouTube on September 26th, 2009 for the same reason I do everything else I report on this blog – to see if it’s a worth while place to invest my time.

    276 days later, I can truthfully say that I’m more than pleased with the results of my experiment with YouTube to expand the SPI brand and audience base. Here are some quick numbers from my account as of today:

    15 Uploaded Videos
    59,582 Total Views
    720 Subscribers

    That’s an average of about 1 new video every 2 to 3 weeks. Considering that the average length of my videos is about 6 minutes in length, you can get a feel for just how much time I’ve really dedicated to this “experiment” – 6 minutes every 3 weeks."

    Do not miss the whole post here: YouTube Tips and Tricks For Bloggers – Part 1

    Pat discusses many tips and tricks for Video Marketing.

    And be sure to read Part 2 when it's up.

    I think "how to" videos work great. If you can provide great tips people will follow your links back to your site for more.

    My guess is that video marketing is effective as any kind of marketing but it`s effective as much you put your sweat in it. In other words: the more you work on your video it`s better and can achieve it`s goal.

    This is so true, I found "how to" videos useful in number of occasions.
