You can’t advertise and market your products on YouTube or any other Video sharing site! A comment which was made to me a while back, how wrong could they be!

Video has taken off on the Internet in the last 12 Months and once it becomes the leading advertising vehicle, it will remain there. Just look at TV and the amount of advertising that’s done there. Once Internet Video and Video Websites start to develop better and the video becomes as clear and viewable as TV, you will then see Internet Video surge.

However there is a difference with TV and Internet Video. The amount it costs you to run ads on it. TV can cost you thousands of dollars and even more for specific time periods. Plus you have to pay for the amount of times your ad shows on TV!

Internet Video is free to air, plus the viewers get to choose to watch your videos, as opposed to TV where they don’t get a choice. This makes Internet Video highly targeted. Furthermore your Videos stay there permanently, unless the website closes down or changes its Terms and Conditions.

So in a nutshell Internet Video remains free with a huge amount of targeted viewers that have a choice. They choose to watch or not watch your videos, based on what they are looking for! Your Videos are up 24/7, worldwide. This will give your Internet Videos and whatever you are providing maximum exposure and will also increase traffic to your website both in short and long terms.

So if you think that your business, service, products or whatever doesn’t suit Video, then try this. Below is a tool that you can use to see what types of keywords are being searched on the Internet that fit into your target market.

Choose the first 5-10 results from the keyword that you have typed in. Go to YouTube and type them in the Search Box. Look at the Videos that come up in the results. How many views have these videos had? You maybe surprised!

Plus there are over 40 plus high traffic websites on the Internet that allow videos! It gets you thinking about whether video marketing and promotion is worth it!
