After you create the video what’s next?
Video marketing is undeniably one of the most tapped marketing strategies today. But you need to do more than just to create a great video to maximize its full potential. There is no point for you to produce videos if nobody would watch it. If no one is interested to see it, and more so share it, then your video is practically worthless. Therefore, you should also come up with promotions and advertisements to boost your videos online visibility.
Publish Your Video Natively
Great video content is meant to be shared. And the best way to do this is to make sure your video is hosted online. You can start by choosing from these popular platforms: Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, Vine, and Instagram.
Youtube is by far the largest from these options. It is also the second largest search engine on the web, so it offers more opportunities to reach your target viewers.
But it’s not enough to just host your videos online. You should also determine how they perform so you can decide your next steps. You can either cross promote or run some paid ads behind your high performing videos.
Optimize Your Video Content
People don’t have much time and patience when searching online, so you should strike your prospects at a glance, persuade them to click, and watch your video now.
You’ll need to optimize the video for each social platform.
Use promotion tools and services
