How to Find Video's During Search

You typed in sprinkler repair ( or service you need)  for your local area and the normal web results greeted you.  Did you know you can see the Video results for that same search.

In the image below I highlighted where you will find video's for that same search.

When you search for a service or product I pointed  where videos can be found for the same search.  If you don't find a video "how to " or "product" move over and click on "video" tab.  It might be located under the "more" tab if you never clicked on videos.

Mobile search is manily done on YouTube app.

This may be old news for a lot of you.  Again,  surprised how many folks are not aware of this feature.

Target Your Market Using Video on YouTube

Video is a huge front door to attract, engage and push your business message to your target market. Video  builds know, like and trust.

Etablish a YouTube Channel 

You can try this yourself or hire for completion.  The most important part of YouTube is the ability to Share your videos "anywhere" online.

Convert Q & A on Website to Videos

Add these videos to your website and add to the proper pages inside your site.

Intro Video Home Page Website

Welcome visitors with a very short video.  Finish by asking for a call to action.

Keep Video's Short-Get to the Point.

Make sure your videos do not ramble or drag.  Note: A video watched is a good video.

Have Fun

A simple smile and having fun makes viewers pay attention.

Be Creative

Video Marketing on YouTube

Most small business I meet have these comments! I do not understand how Video works? Not sure where to start. No time. Camera Fear. Budget..

Most small business I meet have little or no idea "how" much video can help their business. This means explaining a video plan, target market and "how does video help me"?.

You Cannot Produce Videos Sitting On Your Rear

Wow!  Not like me to include such a word in the title.  I need your attention and thought maybe this might tempt you to read this blog.

For many the light bulb has not yet gone off.  I cannot believe when I meet with small business how many business owners have no clue "how" important video can work for small busness.

What if I helped you start today? Motivated you to set a goal this year for 30 videos on your very own YouTube channel?

Have a Pocket Camera?
Have a Smart Phone?
Have a iPad

All of these have Video recorders built in with very good video capture.  How many times have you wished you recorded a demo or maybe a tip.  Point and shoot.  Then with the simple ability to share, upload to YouTube and other social network.

Imagine shooting 1 video every 2 weeks and uploading to YouTube. Add the proper title and some other stuff and sharing to your social foot print. Do you think your friends might help share this and recommend your business.  The stats say "yes" they will.

I was in a small town working with a pest control company.  They ask me to produce some videos and help build the YouTube Channel.  They were excited upon arrival and were full of ideas.  I ask if they carried phone with camera?  ( yes).  I ask if they could record and talk about what they were Capturing? (yes).  I ask do you think folks looking for Pest Control service might like to see tips/demos of what you do? ( yes).  I went on to say you could have 30 videos this year showing folks everything you do when working in and around folks homes.

Builds Know, Like and Trust.

I realize you might need a company to help with your YouTube channel and some Consulting on "how" to use.  Or go online and Google search "how to build a youtube  channel"  or "YouTube Help".

Imagine having 30 videos on the second largest Google owned search engine.  Imagine sharing your videos to Facebook, Twitter, Your Blog, Website, Newsletters, Pinterest and Linkedin. Instagram and Vine are other super ways to use video.

Videos do not need to be perfect.. people are looking for good informtion looking for services you provide.

Pest Control Company: Capture help tips when you encounter useful information.  Show termite damage.  Explain why inspection is important.  Once I left our meeting they were excited to start.
They needed some guidance and some consulting for next 3 months. I promise they will be known and found when they start the process.  They did the first two videos and now are going to shoot lots of short clips.  I suggested they tape a index card on the inside review mirror.  Write on Index card Shoot a Video Today of something people would like to see.

I challenge you to search and investigate how much video can help your Small Business.

My Mission is simple I help small business stand out using video online on the second largest Google owned search engine..YouTube.

YouTube Content ID

YouTube is updating Content ID and according to this Reelseo post YouTube in fact pulled down some very large pages including some partners.

I have mixed emotions because I am pretty sure fair use might be at issue on some.  Google ( YouTube) can better explain how the content ID ( link at end of blog) system works.

Noticed some very angry post and videos over the weekend especially from those covering gamming. I might add with huge subscriptions and following.

Want to be safe with your content.. sure you do?  I am not a attorney so my advice is from  being around and on YouTube.

1.  Do not add any music at all that you did not produce. Do buy royality free music or use YouTube Audio Library

2. You want to show a clip of something you found online. It has music in background.  Don't do it.

3. Movies or any copyright info that you did not produce.

Make sure all the content uploaded is your production and any music is either yours (you own it). Use the YouTube audio libaray or purchase Royality Free Music.

I imagine the Content ID system might flag somethng that you have complete rights to publish.  Verify your YouTube channel and make sure you have added dispute to your tools.

The best way to maintain a good relationship is create and publish your own content.  If you use others content  make sure you have all the permissions.

If you cover a lot of stuff like recaps or reviews of 3rd party content.  Go hire a attorney.

Convert a Audio Podcast to a Video and Add Custom Player.

Every Tuesday Night I broadcast a live radio show on my YouTube Channel.  I then take the Audio saved on my YouTube Channel and add a Custom Tumbnail on YouTube channel Video Manager. This includes a  Picture with Times for show and keeping  brand in place.  While broadcasting using audio only Google + profile picture appears where video would play.

I add all the text in description box, Link to website, description of show and all the items needed to for the video.  I now have a radio show that acts like a video. A single picture with audio portion.

I then take URL for that show located on my YouTube channel and go to ViewBix.

The Final Show is a custom player with links to my sponsors, guest website, email contact  form   and Bill Board with link to my Video 6 Pack.

Video for Potential New Client Follow Up

My coach Danny L Smith talks a lot about wasted handshakes.  Wasted handshakes come when we network at a business function.  Gather  business cards.  Add to stack on the desk and do not follow up. Building realtionships is a great way to help build your busines.

 Video will establish the begininings of Like, Know and Trust.  Video brings instant connection with folks you meet online. Think of your video as a "Virtual Handshake".

Below is a perfect example of a "Video Handshake".  Tips are great ways to start Like, Know and Trust. Cammy Oney with ReyMeDesigns.com explains blind cabinets in kitchens.
