You know that videos are one of the best ways to let your prospective clients get to know you and decide if you are the right life coach for them. But do you know posting those videos on the Internet and marketing them effectively can bring more prospective clients to your website?
Yes, you need to distribute the videos on sites like YouTube and other video sharing sites, but don’t forget about the social bookmarking networks, too.
It can be as simple as creating a video for your site or on YouTube and submitting it to StumbleUpon. But there are definitely 3 tips you should pay attention to, as well as other tactics you need to be aware of, to get the most impact for time invested.
1. Don’t stumble just your videos. This looks overly self-promotional and spammy. It’s important that you also stumble videos and content from other sites as well.
2. Make sure you have a Stumble button on your video page! It allows stumblers who come to it organically through search engines to instantly stumble it, putting it in StumbleUpon’s database.
3. Don’t set your videos to autorun when people open your page. Give them the option of clicking Play. People are more likely to “thumbs down” videos that autorun. When fellow stumblers were polled about videos set to autorun, many reactions went along these lines:
“It feels like a pop-up when they start playing before I can think and decide”
“I don’t like being hi-jacked”
“It didn’t say how long it was going to run, and I have to watch my bandwidth”
“I like to choose what I click on”
Using Videos As A Strategy on Your StumbleUpon Profile
When you click on your Favorites page in StumbleUpon, notice there’s another horizontal menu bar underneath the Discover, Favorites, and Stumblers tag. As well as All, this menu bar includes:
- photos
- videos
- discoveries
- your tags
Is your video tab empty?
If so, give your potential subscribers one more facet of your online personality to feel enthusiastic about. Be sure to include a few videos of your own.
And start stumbling your videos – and others’ – today!
