There are numerous ways to do your own MLM lead generation for your business. One elementary way is to create your own videos, and we will discuss six different video marketing methods, some of which you don’t even have to show your face.
People love to watch videos, as you can see from the tremendous success of YouTube, which is currently the second biggest internet search engine. Advantages of video marketing are:
* You can shoot a video anywhere – underwater while scuba diving, at the beach, in the car, in your garden with the birds singing, in your backyard, in the pool, while ski-ing, while traveling and while on vacation.
* People get to know you in a video, so you will start building your brand.
* You can reach a far wider audience with a videos than you can by speaking one on one with people. It’s rather like being in a seminar or at a conference, except you don’t have to be scared because no-one is watching you while you’re filming.
* Creating videos is totally free if you already have a camera. Posting them on the internet is totally free if you already have an internet connection.
* Videos can become viral, as people pass them round to others.
* Taking videos and posting to the internet is very low technology and easy to do.
* You can demonstrate to one person or millions of people, how to perform a task on the computer. Just take a video of yourself performing that task.
* Your videos can get you a lot of visitors to your website, thereby creating a lot of leads for your business.
Here are six different ways you can create your own videos:
1. Create slides using something like Microsoft Powerpoint, and add music or your own voice as background. Save these slides as images and import them into a movie maker program. Both PCs and Macintoshes include free software for you to make your own movies ready to publish on the internet. Slides are great for video creating novices, especially if you’re a little shy about showing your face.
2. Make photos of your products or whatever you do, into a video by adding them to a movie maker program. Add some background music to the photos or add your own voice and you have another video.
3. Software programs allow you to capture your actions on the computer to create an educational video. You can have your face showing in a small corner of the screen, or don’t have your face at all.
4. Go down the beach with a friend and just say hello and talk about the beautiful views and the waves. This is a great way to start off with your “showing your face” videos.
5. If you are a scuba diver, or a keen sportsperson, get someone to video tape you. When you get home, import the video into your movie maker program and tape yourself talking about the movie.
6. Do an interview with a leader in your industry and ask them questions, with the video recorder on.
There are lots more different kinds of videos. Be creative and think of other ways also. Here are some tips for any type of video you create.
* Keep all videos less than ten minutes in length so that more video broadcast sites will accept them.
* Create an image to insert into each end of the video. On the image, type the title of your video and your website URL, with a call to action. This way, people can go to your website after watching the video, and you will generate your own leads.
* Most movie creation software will allow you to insert a watermark on your video. The watermark should be your website URL or your phone number in some situations.
* Submit your video to different broadcasting sites on the internet. Some broadcast sites are YouTube, Google videos, Viddler, Dailymotion, Photobucket, and there are many more.
