Video SEO Infographic: Can This 5 Step Roadmap Lead You to the Top 30% of YouTube Videos?

April 3, 2012 - PRLog -- YouTube is huge. And so is the potential for small businesses that strategically use video SEO to get placed at the top of the charts by Google, other Search Engines, and YouTube. But the problem is that with so many cameras rolling, and the sheer volume of entertainment uploaded by the “average” Joe or Jane every minute, getting your video noticed can quickly become a battle between David and Goliath.

The question becomes: Is the Battle that is Video Marketing worth the effort?

If you still have doubts about the reach and influence of YouTube, consider the statistics revealed in the book “Abundance” by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler: Every minute YouTube users upload 48 hours of video.  Compared to the amount of film released in Hollywood each year, YouTube matches the volume of yearly Tinsel Town film in less than an hour. Less than an hour!

And the real magic? YouTube “stars” and content creators don’t have to walk down a red carpet or make appearances in the weekly tabloids to get noticed. In fact, with some good ‘ole fashioned marketing and video SEO know-how, even the humble home-town online business owner can carve out their star on the YouTube Video Walk of Fame.

Is anybody watching those videos?  In 2011, YouTube reported that the site was receiving more than three billion views per day.

So the next question is: If Hollywood was able to build a profitable industry out of their market share of entertainment-seeking eyeballs, how can an online business learn to do the same with YouTube? Especially when most small online business owners don’t have a marketing budget even close to what a Hollywood executive has. And, one little business has to compete with thousands of hours of film.

Here’s some encouraging news. According to The Telegraph, James Zern, a YouTube software engineer, revealed that 30 percent of videos accounted for 99 percent of views on the site. And since the purchase of YouTube by Google, the drive is on to encourage video content creators to upload more engaging videos and drive more traffic to those videos, all so that the revenue Google can bring in from those video views will increase.

So what’s a business owner to do to get into that 30 percent of most watched videos? The notoriety sounds very sexy; but the implementation may not.

In fact, it’s in the very un-sexy day to day, consistent, system implementations where the real money is made for successful online businesses. Don’t be fooled. Those systems that seem so boring to the untrained eye are building mini-online empires and expanding the pool of financially secure online businesses owners all around the globe. Now that’s sexy!
