Marketing With Rob

I Plan To Win Alex Jeffreys Video Contest ….Here are some tips. January 9th, 2009

I’m in Video Learning Heaven. Wow! and this was billed as just a bonus module. This alone was worth the price of admission to me for the most incredible internet coaching training ever. Thanks again Alex Jeffreys and Thanks to the Video Queen Maria Andros.

OK, so I am gonna to give you a series of tips that I am going to use to compete in Alex’s $3,000 video contest. If you use them you will increase traffic and improve content too.

Tip#1- Pay very careful attention to your key words and long tail keyword phrases. Now remember since the contest is on you tube. You can do a good part of your keyword research on you tube too. Of course do research on Google also. Google is in love with you tube and will very often give you first page listings for your key words as organic traffic.

Now when your video is ready to upload to you tube, send it out at least 3 times with different keywords. You may need to make a slight variation in the video each time you send it out for youtube to accept it. Like change the running time by a few seconds. I just send mine out in different formats. This lets you get views from many more keywords than you would be able to do with just one video.

For Instance- I have the same video out on you tube promoting a clickbank product that teaches Tennis by a series of videos. Now the 2 titles that best describe the content of the videos have only about 15% each of views that my third title has. So most people are searching for the keywords in my third title than the 2 titles that just happen to more accurately describe the event I have in the video. You can never be sure of such a lopsided view count until the same video is out there with different key words. Here are the titles and the current views. The videos were put up 4 months ago. I have made multiple sales from them.

Title #1- “US Tennis Open Julie Coin qualifies to play Ana Ivanovic” Views-280

Title #2- “Julie Coin 1st Round before Ana Ivanovic at US Tennis Open” Views- 384

Title #3- “Learn How to Play Tennis for Beginners. Rare Video at US Open” Views- 2172

I hope I have made my point.

If you would like to view this video, Here is the Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeLRYcVSikY.

Now this works great if you are selling something like I do from ClickBank. Right now a matter for discussion may be since one of the two contests is for most views for a youtube video. If my suggestion will help or hurt you. What do you think? Since I just heard about the contest myself I need to ponder this. But either way you decide for the contest, use this method when promoting your blog or products in the future.

If I can be of any further help or you have any comments on this tip please leave a reply.

More tips coming very, very soon so check in often or subscribe to my RSS Feed on the top right.

Good Luck to those entering the contest. We’re all winners anyway because we’re gonna learn much. Rob

Hey Rob
You’re quick off the mark with your latest post. And what a great conference call it was with Maria. Very motivating. I just watched your video on YouTube – what a super background with all that snow. Thanks for the tips.

You have really come a long way with your blog since I last visited.

Thanks for the tips on video; you obviously are in your element here and will be a great resource for some of us. Have you been in affiliate marketing for a while?

Hi Wendy, Scott + Theresa,
Thanks for the kind words. Scott I’m glad you are going to keep teaching us about Twitter. I know soon it will be a natural part of our on-line presence.

Theresa- I have looked into different areas of Affiliate Marketing. The only thing I have made some steady money with is short video infomercials promoting ClickBank Products. I started last May. I intend to up my game with it. I feel now that I am over the initial hump it will be a larger steady income stream.

Hi Sarah,
I’d be happy to help you get started. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions. Once you make that first video it will all be easier to just do it.

Rob

Thanks for the information :O) You taught me something good. I never thought of uploading my videos on Youtube under different keywords.

Just a point of information for those entering Alex’s Students Video Contest. Just send the video out once on you tube with the best title and keywords you’ve researched. The most views winner will be determined by one video. But after the contest when you send video out in the future send them out multiple times with different titles and keywords each time. This will give the same video many more views which means many more sales.
Talk Later,
Rob
