Driving Traffic To Your Website With Videos
Posting videos at video sharing sites such as YouTube.com
and MetaCafe.com is one of the fastest ways to drive
traffic to your own website or blog.
These “promo” videos don’t have to be fancy, nor do you
need expensive equipment. Chances are, you already have
what you need on your computer - Windows Movie Maker.
One of the keys to driving tons of traffic from your
videos to your website is to create several videos on the
same topic. The more you post, the more views and visitors
you’ll get.
For instance, if your website topic is bodybuilding, you
can create several similar short videos, such as:
* Weightlifting for upper body strength
* Weightlifting for lower body strength
* Etc.
Your promo videos should NOT be sales pitches. They should
simply “pre-sell” your product or affiliate product.
Using bodybuilding as an example, you could start with
someone who is new to weightlifting and caption the first
frame of your video “before yourwebsiteurl” (Using your
own website url in there, of course. 
)
Then show him lifting weights for a minute, and finally,
show an “after yourwebsiteurl” frame at the end where it
becomes obvious to the viewer that he has built muscles by
lifting weights.
This is just an example, but the more creative you are, the
more likely you are to get more viewers.
Be sure you also enter an attention-grabbing description for
your video and include your website link in the description
box.
As I already mentioned, you probably have Windows Movie
Maker on your computer. It’s not difficult to use, and you
can find free tutorials just by doing a search in a search
engine.
You can create live videos using a camcorder or cell phone
and import them to Windows Movie Maker. You can even just
create “still shots” and add them, as well as frames with
captions and your website url.
One final tip…
To instantly get viewers to your videos, be sure to use your
favorite social site(s) (such as Twitter or Facebook) to
let your friends know that you’ve posted a new video.
In addition, if you have a blog, Squidoo lens or HubPage in
the same niche as your video topic, then by all means, post
your videos there, too. You want to drive traffic using as
many methods as possible.
