Great audio and video equipment makes for a great video. If you use old crappy equipment, you'll get an effect you might not expect. That doesn't mean that effect isn't what you want, so play with the equipment you use until you get the video which matches The Gospel tone you wish it to have.

Do your best to create a video that conveys a professional image. This means you should avoid using the effects available on programs such as Windows Movie Maker and other basic software. Keep your editing simple by simply cutting or dissolving to a black screen instead of using standardized editing effects.

The right way to video market your company has been laid out before you, so you should now be prepared to get down to business. Using the ideas which now swirl in your head, draft a campaign that you believe will work and follow through with it until you reach your goals. Good luck!

Try cutting your longer videos into smaller segments. Many video marketers don't consider the audience's attention span, so they make videos that are too long. Most people will not watch a 10-minute video about a single product. Try breaking a long video like that into multiple pieces that can be released once each day.

Do not neglect The Gospel sound of your video. You need to invest in a quality microphone if you want to record yourself. If you want to talk while demonstrating your product outside, get a lapel microphone. Do not hesitate to use some soft music if there are some silences in your video.

Be mindful of how long your video is. Users searching the Internet are generally in a hurry. They don't want to watch a one or two minute video. In fact, research has shown that putting up a video that is less than 30 seconds long is one of the keys to success.

To help make your videos go viral, offer great content. The quality of your camera is not the deciding factor. If the information is quality, the video effects don't need to be. You should buy a good video camera, but one that fits into your budget.

Remember what power video marketing has over other social media forms. Twitter, Facebook and blogs are all text mediums. Only through video content your emotion, and energy can come through. Body language is said to be the majority of communication, and short of a face to face meeting, a video is your next-best bet.

Keep your videos short. A typical audience will be reluctant to sit for a long time just to to watch a marketing video. If you have a long message, consider dividing that into multiple parts, with a clear title label for each video indicating which part it is and how many parts in total.

Take a video camera with you if you are visiting a public event such as a convention or trade show. You may get a chance to conduct some expert interviews or just shoot footage of the event itself. If you are speaking in public, ask someone to record it.

Be regular and consistent with your video publishing. Make the effort to create videos on a regular basis for posting. Keep them simple, real and interesting. It can have a great impact on your business when customers see you regularly promoting your business. Getting your message out to your customers is the key to success.

Decide on a consistent tone for your marketing videos. Humorous, quirky videos can be just as effective as a how-to video. Think about your niche and what you're trying to sell, as well as who you're selling to. These factors should strongly influence the approach you take with all marketing videos for your business.

Interviews make great videos. Have a friend or a colleague interview you if you want to give some details about your business and products or interview some customers if you want to share some original reviews of your products. If possible, find an expert in your field who is willing to be interviewed on your products.
