Lesson #2 - Video traffic secrets - What type of videos work
By now you may be itching to create a video. You may be wondering what equipment
you will need, how will you create the video, and how exactly will you upload
it.We'll get to that soon. But before you even get the equipment together to
create a video, it will be useful to learn more about what makes a video
successful and popular.
Here's the list: Funny, Weird, Gross, Shocking, Interesting, Sexy, Inspiring,
Demonstrates, Instructional, Personal.
1. Funny: The word funny constantly appears as the one of the most typed in
phrases to all the search engines on the internet. People on the internet love
to laugh, and equally important, people like to make other people laugh. It
lightens up their day. A funny video has a high chance of being sent to friends
and probably has the highest probability of causing a viral marketing stir.
2. Weird: Face it, the internet can be a weird place, with weird people, who
like to create weird media and enjoy looking at weird things. Weird has always
been popular on the internet. Weird theories, weird conspiracies, and weirdness
prevails. Weirdness may help your video get noticed if you don't mind being
weird (just don't be creepy & weird).
3. Inspiring: Stories of inspiration are always a good commodity. Anything
inspiring can become extremely popular, extremely fast. An example was the
'Interview With God' presentation (you may have heard about it if not, look it
up on Google). It was a huge internet hit.
4. Shocking: Anything genuinely shocking is always a hit on the internet.
Especially with video because it is basically proof that the shocking thing is
real. Shocking videos may get a viral effect and even news coverage from both
online and off line news sources.
5. Interesting: Curiosity can be a powerful sales device in getting people from
your video to your website. Anytime you can prick the curiosity of a viewer and
make them want to learn more about you and your product, it is a good thing.
When you successfully generate curiosity in your video viewer, you give them an
itch which must be scratched. Creating curiosity may be especially useful
considering that users who find your video will actually have to take the effort
to type in the URL and visit the site you are promoting.
6. Sexy: I don't even have to mention this one. Sex is always popular, and I
cannot think of any instance when being described as sexy has ever been any
hindrance to selling a product.
7. Personal: Many people are voyeurs and doubly-so on the internet, where they
can be as voyeuristic as they want from the security of their home. Internet
surfers are curious and like to see personal things about other people. These
videos which are often funny and or bizarre,may have great potential.
8. Demonstrates: Sometimes just a plain old, no frills demonstration of a
product can be very effective at selling. As we'll see in some of the case
studies below, a simple demonstration with video can be a wonderful way to make
a lot of money.
9. Instructional: Instructional videos are useful and easy to create. They may
tell or show someone how to do something, and for our purposes, might be just
a free introduction to your product which makes the viewer want more information
or more instruction. Instructional videos are helpful and may gain the trust and
interest of viewers.
10. Gross: Shows like 'Fear Factor' have been popular in the U.S. for quite
sometime. Jackass II was the number one movie in America. Gross has mass appeal.
Gross can be popular in spite of its grossness. Gross videos may get lots of
views. However, keep in mind that there is a fine line between gross and flat-
out disgusting. Disgusting probably won't sell a lot of products, but humorous
videos with a small dose of 'gross' may be useful, depending on your product.
Though as an internet marketer you could make all these kinds of videos, the
simplest and the ones that work the best are videos that either are a review of
a product or video that demonstrate the use of it.
So, find some product that you can review or demonstrate and has an affiliate
program and then send the viewers to your affiliate site.
Now that you know the kind of videos you need to make, the next lesson will
teach you how to actually create the videos.
Stay tuned...
