Using Online Video Marketing to Build Your MLM Business

March 2, 2009

Online Video MarketingRemember the old days of UHF television when local businesses would air commercials on late night television? These commercials promoted local businesses and entrepreneurs and were often a lot of fun since they came from the heart.

Over time, advertising costs have risen and the presence of local commercials diminished. Actually, they have returned in an equally low cost/highly effective method perfect for an .
This method is familiar to all of us –
online video marketing
. It can reach an audience far more effectively than the classic local commercial model ever could.

What is online video marketing for MLM lead generation? It’s a promotional venture where a media file is placed on the internet as a highly effective strategy.  It’s perfect for promoting an internet network marketing business because of the expansiveness of the medium. This just means you can employ audio, visual imagery, and even musical scores to sway people towards supporting your MLM business venture.

Here are a few of the most important reasons to employ an online video marketing strategy for lead generation in your internet network marketing business:

• The costs of an online video marketing strategy are very low. A simple video camera can be used to film the video, as well as camera phones or webcams; and editing software can be purchased at very low prices.  Additionally, many of the venues where you can place your video are free, making the actual distribution of the video a non-factor in terms of budgetary cost.  Check out The 6 Minute Video Blog Post With Utility Poster for another cool idea on distributing your videos.

• The potential audience an online video marketing plan can reach is enormous. Circulating the video through file sharing sites, message boards, blogs, and, of course, websites has the potential to reach untold scores of people. It’s within reason to reach thousands of viewers with minimal effort. With the right promotional video, reaching an audience in the millions is very possible and easy to do.

• You can make a direct appeal to those who might be interested in your MLM business. Yes, many can read your text literature online but the impact will never be the same as a direct video appeal to an audience. That’s because a video display is alive which makes for an incredibly persuasive medium.

This can all work tremendously as an internet marketing strategy in a number of ways. One of the most popular methods is using your online video marketing as a vehicle for amassing a niche audience. This audience becomes primed for MLM lead generation.

Let’s look at how this strategy can be enacted:

• Write a series of short scripts covering various topics related to your MLM business. They don’t have to be lengthy; they just need to be informative, entertaining, and motivating.

• Shoot short video presentations. Be sure they look and sound professional.  One thing I think makes a big difference in how professional you come across, is the background you choose.  It doesn’t have to be elaborate or show a giant-sized pool or ice sculptures behind you, but it should be simple and not too busy or distracting, always keeping in mind the level of professionalism you’re trying to display.

• Sign up for a “channel” on a file sharing site such as YouTube.com. Place your video shorts on the site at regular intervals.

• Promote the videos through SEO (search engine optimization) tactics and direct traffic methods such as promotional blogging and email marketing.

For those looking to expand their MLM lead generation potential, online video marketing can be a fantastic vehicle. It is neither difficult nor expensive to undertake. This makes it perfect for entrepreneurs looking to broaden their business horizons.
