Seven years ago I turned on my webcam and recorded my first YouTube video. I had no idea what I was doing or the impact that the videos would make to my life and audience I was growing. I now have over 30,000 subscribers and 4 million views on my personal channel. That channel 'sparked' my first product business and helped me generate my first six-figures online.
What Changed?
When I started my YouTube channel in 2009 it was for personal use and when I shifted to a business model I created a new channel and uploaded videos that reflected a polished brand.
There are times when 'homemade' business videos work! I use personal videos that are not the highest quality when communicating directly with my clients' and when prospects request information. Consumers do expect a few high-quality videos. Just like your website is your consumer's first experience with your company, your videos may be also. What impression are you giving them?
1. Build Authority with Educational Videos
Did you know that 80% of people remember the videos that they see online? Blog posts and social media posts only last for a moment and they are hard to find. Create videos that educate your consumer about your product or service. Videos can be repurposed on your website, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and all of your social media accounts.
2. Create a Personal Experience using Video
Small business owners start their businesses because they are passionate about what they do. Share this on video! Emotions are contagious and videos can capture that emotion.
3. Rank Higher in the #1 Search Engine
YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world and it’s owned by the largest search engine in the world, Google. Transcribing your videos can help your website get ranked higher for keywords that you’d never be able to achieve through traditional SEO.
