How do you use YouTube for marketing and promotion of your business?

1.) Create a Video of what you have been writing

Creating a video, making people see and hear you speak about your business or expertise, will give you plus points in earning your client’s trust. Share your expertise and promote your business through your videos. As we all know, a video is a visually engaging medium that allows people to have a clearer view and knowledge on what you are up to. If you are too shy to face in front of the camera though, there are a lot of ways as to how you can come up with a video. You can actually make a video only by taking screen captures as you make tutorials, drawing and mapping out diagrams, and anything you can think of in front a video camera. The point is, you have to make your product more visually enhanced.

2.) YouTube Ads are cheaper than what you pay for Google AdWords or Facebook Ads

People are actually going to YouTube to find answers for their search queries. The keywords they use are things that you can actually bid on YouTube ads like you usually do in Google AdWords.

3.) YouTube is a social medium which you can use with other platforms to increase popularity

Once you have posted a video in YouTube, you can use this video and share them using Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, among others and increase the scope and popularity of such video. This helps you bring in more traffic to your website. When a video becomes viral, that gives you a lot more opportunity to become HUGE online.

4.) Get customer related feedback, positive or negative

Once you allow comments on a video you posted in YouTube, you will be able to hear customers feedback and also able to receive inquiries and questions posted by potential leads and future clients.

YouTube allows you to become creative as you make your business even more visible online. At its current popularity rate, spending time creating relevant and entertaining business videos will always be worth your time.
