2007 looks to be the year of the Video Blogs (vlogs).

An explosion in Internet video is taking place, and in large part it’s an explosion based on video blogs. A massive online industry is gearing up around video sharing sites like YouTube and Internet video platforms like Brightcove.com. Television is moving online, and Internet TV may soon replace your favorite TV programs. Downloadable movies and TV Series are now the norm.

Should you cash in it? Personally, I haven’t caught up with the ‘fad’ yet – I hate waiting for videos to play to “get the message”…. I prefer the sites that let me read the content and then let me watch a video. However, I know that lot’s of people like to watch videos so I need to bring myself up to date very quickly.

So how can you get online with Video:

If you have a camera phone and a computer, you can create a video product and distribute it on the Internet as free or paid content. Video podcasting is the simplest and least expensive way to create and distribute a video product on the Internet. Anyone with a broadband connection and some simple tools can create an Internet channel today to broadcast content to a potential audience of millions.

Produce your video

The easiest way to capture video content is to shoot it with a digital video camera or camera phone. If you want to create the highest quality, you can use a webcam. And if your digital still-camera has a recording feature, you can shoot video clips with it, too. If you have a Mac, you can use iMovie or Final Cut Pro to capture a video directly from your camera. If you have Windows XP or Vista on your PC, you already have all the basic video capture and editing software you’ll need, so you can get your feet wet without investing additional money in software.

The marketing power of viral video
The majority of video content on the Internet is transmitted virally and downloaded freely, so you may want to consider the advantages of producing viral videos as well as paid video content. Viral videos can dramatically increase traffic to your web site or blog. Popular viral videos featured on the YouTube homepage can bring millions of new visitors in just a few days to the site that the video links to.

Viral video is one of the most effective and powerful tools that you can use to increase traffic to your site. If you’ve designed your site to achieve a good conversion rate of visitors to sales, then you should always consider the creation of viral video content as one of your key marketing strategies. People come to your site because they liked one of your viral videos; when they visit your site, they find out about paid video downloads, eBooks, and other products and services you offer.

You can post your video content on YouTube and Google Video for free. Include your web site or blog URL at the beginning of the text description of your video. If viewers like it, their comments will achieve a high ranking for your video. When your ranking increases, you may find it featured on the YouTube home page. Other web sites and blogs will want to link to your video, individual viewers tell their friends about it, and then you have a popular viral video, which spreads over the Internet to an audience of millions. This can bring a dramatic increase in your traffic and sales.

If you aren’t creating video products for both free distribution and sale on the Internet, you aren’t reaping the full benefits of connecting your business to the Worldwide Web. You may be impressed with how the Internet has become a great tool for gathering and transmitting information, but creating video content for a potential audience of millions on the Internet is the best way to take your business to the next level.

Your website is the virtual representation of your company, whether your company exists physically or not.  Your website is essentially the hub of your online business.

People do judge you by “your covers”.  When you are doing business online, people cannot see you physically, as they could if they were dealing with a bricks and mortar company. This is why a good website design is important.

If you are running a bricks and mortar company, would you allow your salespersons to dress in shabby or casual clothes when they are dealing with your customers? By making your staff wear professionally, you are telling your customers that you do care about quality. This works simply because first impressions matter.

Similarly, it is the same with your website. If your website is put together shabbily and looks like a 5 minute “quick fix”, you are literally shouting to your visitors that you are not professional and you do not care for quality.  Conversely, if your website looks professional, you give your visitors the perception that you have given meticulous attention to every detail and you care about professionalism. You are organised, focused and you really mean business.

Statistics show that most online visitors take approximately 7 seconds to decide whether this is a site they wish to visit.  A well designed site helps with making this decision easier.

The other thing to consider with a good design is the “other things” that represent your company. From business cards to letterheads to promotional brochures, every little bit matters. This is because as you grow your business, these items become the face of your business.
