Use videos to boost web traffic



Video prospecting is becoming the number one online marketing tool. Even the novice can produce a video, making this tool one of the fastest evolving marketing systems online.
Global Virtual Opportunities jumped on this concept early and is now ranked as one of the top marketing businesses online because of their video prospecting tools which include hosting your created visuals.
Not a video production expert? No problem. With GVO's Easy Video Producer, you need only a webcam and microphone. An audio and video tutorial on the GVO site walks you through the steps. It takes less than 5 minutes to create, record and host a video - no technical experience necessary.
GVO also provides an embed code so created videos can be moved to YouTube or other sites of your choice, including your own website or blog.
"It's really just a three click process," Laura Dobbins, GVO member and novice marketer said. "I just made two templates using my audio system and GVO's scripts. I followed their video instructions and now have my template and video hosted at GVO's site."
The Internet has opened a broad spectrum of advertising possibilities for any business allowing even the technologically challenged a chance to making an income on the web. As Internet marketing has evolved so too have the products used to promote such plans. For instance, article writing, once the preferred method of detailing a service or product has been replaced with the popularity of videos. Videos are more personal, easier to understand and the information can be processed quickly.
More importantly, advertising by video, is a promotional weapon that can't be ignored. Sales increase faster with videos. YouTube boasts that videos account for their 12 percent share of all web browsers. Overall videos are attracting 50 percent of market share online.
But the idea of video prospecting isn't entirely new. Economic times have contributed to the increase in multi-marketing programs online. People are out of work or forced to relearn new skills due to layoffs, demotions or unwanted relocations due to changes in the workforce. This has produced an increase in at home business opportunity seekers. The home workers are also coming to the Internet with more marketing skills than in the past - making video production more enticing for them. Simple tools also make it possible for the less technology savvy to create great products too.
The popularity of YouTube and other social networks has also helped boost the video producing networks. People like their 10 minutes of fame, even if it's only for their friends or family.
There are a variety of video making programs available. Some are free. But the quality products can be costly ranging over $100 a month. GVO, however, offers the same $100 plus equipment as one of several marketing tools included in their $44.95 a month membership packet.
"As I learn more about online marketing, I'm convinced that certain marketing tools are necessary and I would rank video prospecting at the top of the list," Dobbins said.
