What is Video Marketing?    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Video marketing is a form of content marketing. It\u2019s a way of capturing your prospects\u2019 attention with video before educating them on your brand, products, and services while nudging them further along the sales funnel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video marketing can be used at all stages of the sales funnel. It can be used to raise initial awareness, and it can be used to clinch the sale. It can also be used to demonstrate why your prospects should choose your brand over a rival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea is that your videos are educational and useful to your audience. But they should also be engaging and entertaining so that people keep watching them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use a video marketing campaign to build trust and relationships with people. For example, educational \u2018how-to\u2019 videos offer lots of value that convince the end-user you\u2019re a brand worth trusting. This encourages them to keep engaging with you by watching more videos until they\u2019re so convinced about you that they decide to go ahead and buy your product.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"why\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/a><h2>\n            II. Why Do You Need To Focus On Video Marketing In 2020?    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many benefits of video marketing. For one thing, your customers want to watch videos. In fact, over <a href=\"https:\/\/research.hubspot.com\/content-trends-global-preferences?_ga=2.221811160.1351952608.1581417327-2021702052.1581417327\" target=\"_blank\">50% of consumers<\/a> now want to see more videos from brands. They don\u2019t mind reading blogs \u2014 but their thirst for video is stronger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video increases conversion rates, too \u2014 by as much as <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.depositphotos.com\/2017-video-marketing-stats-why-you-need-to-start-using-video-infographic.html\" target=\"_blank\">80% on landing pages<\/a> if you do things right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is video so popular with customers?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, it\u2019s much easier to digest than a 4,000-word blog post that\u2019s crammed with data, case studies, and lots of chunky paragraphs. It\u2019s also more engaging and entertaining.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s even a bit cute and funny, and it\u2019s also accessible to <em>anyone<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, it\u2019s available on YouTube, which is now the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.x-cart.com\/social-media\/statistics.html\"> second biggest search engine in the world<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, people want to watch online videos \u2014 and you need to deliver.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not just this, but video marketing gives you the chance to build proper, long-lasting relationships with your customers in a way that a blog post can\u2019t. Thus, you can use videos to generate leads before nurturing them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-emph\">\n\n<p>Look at it like this: Marketers like Gary Vaynerchuck use brand videos to interact with their audience. They show them their face, they open up their world to them, and they speak directly with people. This sort of openness, honesty, and transparency is much appreciated by your customers. They want to see the face behind the brand, and video allows you to do this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A blog post, while highly educational and valuable, lacks that kind of personableness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"types\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/a><h2>\n            III. What Are The Types of Marketing Videos?    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing with video marketing is that there are so many different types of videos you can create. We\u2019re not going to cover every single video in this article, but here is a guide to the most popular types of video marketing:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            The Demo Video&nbsp;    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The demo video works really well because it shows your prospects on how to use a particular product or service. This removes the barriers to conversion because if a customer can now see how a product is used, they\u2019ll be more inclined to purchase it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, one of the reasons a prospect might be unsure about your products is because they don\u2019t know how they work or what they\u2019re useful for. Create demo videos to clear these issues up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could, for example, add a <a href=\"https:\/\/market.x-cart.com\/addons\/product-video.html\">demo video<\/a> to your product page to help the customer make up their mind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            The Interview Video&nbsp;    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll see this type of video all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, the interview video consists of a member of your team (preferably the founder) interviewing an expert from your niche. This expert must be someone who\u2019s popular, authoritative, and trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point of this type of video is to enhance your own reputation by giving your audience more value. When an expert comes into your channel and shares their world-class tips with your audience, your profile raises. People start to trust <em>you<\/em> more and see your brand as their go-to option.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            The Educational Video&nbsp;    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People go to the movies to be entertained. They watch videos from brands to be partly entertained \u2014 but also to be educated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, when your prospects enter your sales funnel, they are on their road to making a decision about your brand. They are also looking for answers. Do you have what they need?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great way to demonstrate that is to produce an educational video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This video should be an instructional video that picks a particular topic that matters to your audience before addressing the core problem. Just think about what you can teach your audience today. Maybe create a post on social media where you directly ask them what problems they need to be solved. Then, make a video that solves them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<h3>\n            The Explainer Videos    <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The explainer video is a short video that succinctly explains what it is that your business does in 2 minutes or less. This video must be snappy, engaging, and informational. It also helps if you make explainer <em>animated <\/em>videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See, many businesses find it hard to briefly explain what it is that their business does to their audience.

How To Get Started With Video Marketing? (Video Marketing Tips)    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Video marketing doesn\u2019t require a <em>huge<\/em> budget, and you don\u2019t need to be a filmmaking graduate to make this work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, video marketing is actually pretty simple when it comes down to it. As long as you\u2019re already pretty good at marketing, you should be able to grasp video marketing fairly quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, you need to first take a look at your resources. Do you already have a video production team onboard at your company, or would you need to hire one?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of equipment, what do you have? Do you have cameras, editing software, lighting equipment, sound equipment? All of this is key. You don\u2019t have to spend a fortune on the likes of a microphone, but you need to cover all bases, and your equipment needs to be of a decent standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the equipment has to be good enough so that your videos look, sound, and feel professional. Here\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/convertkit.com\/video-equipment\" target=\"_blank\">excellent resource<\/a> that will help you find the right video equipment according to your budget.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If, on the other hand, you might have a large enough budget to outsource a lot of your video production to a freelancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what about your time? Can you do the filming, editing, and marketing yourself, or should you outsource aspects to other teams?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve answered these questions, you then need to carry out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointvisible.com\/blog\/complete-guide-target-audience-analysis-content-marketers\" target=\"_blank\">target audience analysis<\/a>. This will help you understand who your videos are aimed at, the types of videos they want to see \u2014 and, therefore, what types of videos you need to focus on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will also help you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobidea.com\/academy\/what-is-content-mapping\/\" target=\"_blank\">strategize video content<\/a> for each stage of your marketing funnel. Ask yourself what areas of your funnel will really benefit from videos right now? Is it your awareness stage? Would this stage benefit from a sparkling new explainer video that catches a prospect\u2019s attention, for example?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe your closing stage needs some work. Maybe you need to ramp things up with in-depth educational video content that seals the deal with buyers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re up and running with your video marketing campaign, you should keep looking at your funnel to see where your videos will fit in. Refer to the section of this article above, where we discussed the most popular types of videos. See which ones will fit where in your funnel and then put together a video marketing team that will help you pump out quality videos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"steps\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/a><h2>\n            V. What Are The Main Steps of Video Production?    <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Video production is time-consuming and requires a <em>lot<\/em> of planning. You might not be shooting an epic, but even a 2-minute explainer video needs to be properly planned out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Create your concept<\/strong>. Before you shoot a video, consider who this video is for and what you\u2019re trying to accomplish with it. What will the message be?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Write the script<\/strong>. All videos have a script, even those without dialogue. The script gives your video the structure that will guide your viewer from beginning to end.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Enter pre-production<\/strong>. Pre-production is the stage of video production where you get everything ready in preparation for filming. This means you find a suitable location, gather together all the equipment, hire whoever needs to be hired, and work out your budget. It\u2019s also the stage where you decide on times and days for filming.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shoot the video<\/strong>. This is the fun bit! Now\u2019s the time to go to your location with your whole crew and shoot the goods. As long as you\u2019ve covered all the bases during your pre-production, the actual shooting bit should go smoothly.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Edit<\/strong>. Once the shoot is done, it\u2019s time to pass the footage over to your editor. You might have one editor, or you might have two or three (a sound editor is often a role itself). However, you could also do the editing yourself if you\u2019ve got the right software <em>(check out Chapter 3)<\/em> and know the basics of film editing. Don\u2019t forget to add call to actions to your videos during this stage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Sign the video off<\/strong>. Happy with the way your video looks? It\u2019s time to sign it off and say \u2018Yep, we\u2019re done, guys!\u2019&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"checklist darkblue gb-list__check gb-list__check--blue wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Market the video<\/strong>. Now is the time to market the video by posting it and promoting it to the right channels. They should include the likes of YouTube, Vimeo, IGTV, and your own website. They should also include Facebook and even Twitter. Naturally, wherever you post your video, you need to optimize it for that particular channel. For example, short-form videos work better on Instagram, while longer versions work well on YouTube. You also need to optimize it for SEO <em>(see Chapter 5)<\/em>, and you should definitely leverage <a href=\"https:\/\/sproutsocial.com\/insights\/influencer-marketing\/\">influencer marketing<\/a> to help you promote your videos to a wider audience.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<a class=\"anchor\" id=\"effectiveness\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/a><h2>\n            VI.
