Video Your Articles – How to Dominate Your Niche
By Herman Drost
If you want to dominate your niche focus on a marketing strategy that works then keep repeating it. Article marketing is one of the best ways to generate traffic to your web site however you can even attract more traffic if you video your text articles.
Let’s compare some of the benefits of article marketing with video articles:
1. Increase web traffic
Text-based articles are effective when published in article directories or used for blogs, ezines, e-courses, sales letters and press releases.
Video articles will generate even more traffic than text articles because they appeal to more senses ie seeing, hearing and reading the content. Video articles can be used for video sales letters, video ezines and video e-courses.
2. Build backlinks to your web site
The quality and quantity of links pointing to your web site (link popularity) affects your rankings. Including one-way backlinks in the resource box of your articles will boost your link popularity and increase your search engine rankings.
Video articles also help generate backlinks. Most video sharing sites like YouTube allow you to include the your full web site address in the description of your video. This becomes a live link back to your web site and is displayed to the public. To enable visitors to visit your URL, display it clearly in your video.
3. Boost search engine rankings
Search engines spider keywords placed in your article title, body and anchor text. When a person enters those keywords in the Google search box your article has the potential to appear if the keyword is not too competitive.
You can include your main keywords in the tags and descriptions of your videos before uploading them. Search engines may display your video after spidering the keywords in your tags.
4. Gain expert status
You’ll become known as an expert in your field by people continually reading or viewing your content. By publishing content in different formats you’ll attract a larger audience. You achieve this by repurposing your articles into videos.
5. Easy to produce
Writing your own unique article is the most difficult part of marketing your web site, however if done consistently it gets easier and faster.
Producing video articles is easier because you just need to read the article on video or create a simple slide show with it.
6. Easy to publish
Article marketing software enables you to publish your articles to 1000s of article directories in a short period of time because it does most of the work for you. If you don’t want to use a paid service submit your article manually to the top 5 article directories and specific ezine publishers.
Video submission software will publish your videos to fifty web sites at the same time. Each video sharing site appeals to different people so you can generate lots of traffic by submitting to more than one site. Often your videos will appear in several top listings for your keywords.
Alternatively, if you wish to submit your video manually be sure to upload them to the top ones such as YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo Video, MetaCafe.
7. Be competitive
Your competition may already be generating lots of written content however they probably haven’t yet discovered the power of video marketing. Make a plan to convert each article you write into a video then upload it to as many video sharing sites as possible.
You can easily dominate your niche with video article marketing if you do it consistently over a long period of time.
