Wondering why you should care about creating videos to market your home based business?

Thinking you don’t know enough to reap the benefits that video marketing can bring, when used to market your products and services?

Even if you’re an affiliate, you can use the raw power of video to rank highly in the search engines and increase your commissions.

In this article, I’d like to cover three things for you:

1.A few jaw-dropping statistics to inspire you...
2. Tips for creating effective videos...
3. And a few ways to get more video views...

So, first thing’s first...

Why Video Marketing Is A Valuable Strategy For Home Based Businesses

- For starters, YouTube—the second largest site online and just one of MANY sharing sites—receives over 2 BILLION (with a B) video views each day.

- Hundreds are making six figure incomes, just as a YouTube “partner”.

- Every day, there are millions of clips that get “favorited”, as well as millions of new channel subscriptions...

- Even mobile browsing itself results in over 100 millions ...
... video views each day.

In short, using video marketing for your home based business allows you to reach a massive audience and compete with larger companies that typically have to invest millions of dollars in advertising!

4 Tips To Create A Quality Business Marketing Video

Be authentic - Above all, don’t try to be someone you’re not. One of the biggest benefits of video is that it allows you to quickly build trust with those watching. However, people can usually tell when you’re “forcing it”, which could result in getting tuned out.

Be prepared - If you want to instantly boost confidence in every video you use for your marketing, the easiest way it to create a script or rough outline of points you want to cover.

Be clearly visible and audible - Invest in some proper lighting equipment and microphone for your videos. Amazon sells several nice studio setups and lavaliere mics (the kind that clip to your shirt).

Have a call to action in mind - At the end of your videos, you should always be directing your viewers to take some sort of action. Whether it be “liking” your video on Facebook, leaving a comment, or subscribing for updates...give your viewers something to do.

How To Get More Views To Your Videos

It kind of goes without saying, but creating videos to market your home based business is pretty wasteful if you never get anyone watching them.

To make sure your hard work gets noticed, here are some simple tips you can use to get more video views:

1. Add links to your own related videos using annotations, or a simple link in the description.
2. Promote your videos through content sharing sites like Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc.
3. Make sure to optimize your tags to make it easier for sites to suggest your videos.
4. Get a simple video intro created to add consistency to your branding.
5. Be consistent with how often you create new video content.

Each of these is a simple, easy-to-implement way you can generate more views!

Final Thoughts On Home Based Business Marketing Through Video

There is a massive amount of potential with video marketing, as long as you are willing to spend a little time to get involved.

If you don’t want to be on-camera, or you just don’t want to immediately invest in the video equipment you might need, you can still take advantage by turning powerpoint or keynote slides into a video.

One final tip: If you don’t know what to create a video about but having existing articles, consider turning them into videos as a quick, easy way to get started.

In the end, if you use these tips, it’s almost impossible not to grow your home based business with video marketing!
