Maximizing Your Video Investment

March 23, 2011 - PRLog -- Fireside Production, a Denver Video Production Company, offers some unique and effective ways for sharing  video messages.

-        YouTube – YouTube is a great site for hosting your video.  Be sure to use the edit option to create a compelling title, a description (including a link to your website) and appropriate tags for the piece.  Tags are descriptions that allow viewers to find your video when searching a general topic.  Fireside Production tags video production, non-profit videos, videography, editing to name a few.

YouTube also has wonderful sharing options right there on your video page.  Take advantage of them.  Use the URL to post the piece on your social networking sites like LinkedIn and Facebook.  You can Stumble Upon, Tweet or Buzz a piece right from your YouTube site.  Of course, you also want to encourage those you know to Like your video, Share it and Comment on it.  Those actions *do* make a difference.

You’ll find an embed code there on YouTube.  That allows you to embed the piece directly onto your website with YouTube as the host.  Don’t worry… the viewer doesn’t necessarily have to navigate away from your website to view the piece.   Web experts can help ensure that  viewers watch your video without leaving your site.  That’s the way Fireside Productions showcases videos in their Portfolio.  Embedding your video and linking to it helps increase visibility.

Finally, you can pay to promote your video on several sites like YouTube.  The campaigns are generally customizable to allow you to direct your video to your targeted viewers.    

-        Email Options – Email is an effective way to generate daily promotion of your video.  Use the URL in your email signature.  When an email is sent,  encourage someone to view your Demo video.

Here’s how Fireside Production does it:
