YouTube Videos for Business – 3 Reasons why you should NEVER upload your videos to YouTube…

Where should you host your videos?

Have we gone mad? Are you rubbing your eyes in disbelief wondering if we are now saying that you should never upload your videos to YouTube?  Well, fear not my friend, read on and all will become clear.

Here are the three most common reasons we hear why videos should not be placed on YouTube

- I want to retain ownership of my video! I don’t want to lose the rights over it.

We understand, believe me. We’ve seen copies of our videos pop up elsewhere and we’ve thought, “woah, wait a minute!” However, like little baby birds, you’ve got to set your video free and see how it does in the big wide world – you made it to be seen after all!  Optimise your video to be found by search engines with good use of keywords and supply a transcription.  Watermark your video with your website address if you are concerned about it popping up elsewhere.

- I want to send traffic to my website, not YouTube!

Of course you do! But a great video on YouTube will do that anyway.  Make sure that the first thing that you type into the “About” box below your video is your website address and let people find you through that.  Add a call to action at the end of your video with all your contact details so that you can be found on social media and at your website.  You can also add a clickable link to your video to make it even easier for your customers to visit you!

Video Case Studies

What stories can you tell about your business? Stories are the life blood of a strong social media content strategy – we all like a story and what better way to show how your business works than taking prospects and customers through the process of a real project?

Video Customer Testimonial

Add a video testimonial from a happy customer, and you’re on your way to creating something that you can use on all your social media accounts – it's not a case you of you blowing your own trumpet – you’re showing the process that your prospects can expect to  experience, alongside existing customers saying great things about you – what's not to love?!

This is the stuff of Social Media Nirvana - Positive comment by third parties that can be shared on all your social media profiles including your blog, Google+, Linkedin, Facebook and of course YouTube, with Twitter driving traffic to each of these online content hubs. You can see a number of examples of how our clients are using video case studies and video testimonials on our YouTube channel. Referrals & reccommendations are the stuff of which marketing dreams are made of, so use them to get your business noticed for all the right reasons.

What could you make a video about for your business? Which of your clients and customers could you ask to talk about the great service or product you provide?
