CREATING VIDEO
Two free video editing tools
will be discussed: Windows Movie Maker Live software (which comes with Windows
operating system or could be downloaded-updated for free) and an online video
editing service from Animoto.com. Free Mac video editors will be reviewed
too.
TOOLS
1/ Animoto.com
The editor does an excellent job in terms of video quality (for web purposes), themes, backgrounds, transitions and automates basically everything. You only need is to upload your images, type bullet points and choose music. The service has two options: free and paid. Here is the features comparison screenshot:
The main difference between
the free and paid versions is a 30 second video length limit for the free
plan. Therefore, if you are to use the
free version you need to be concise in your presentation. Even though videos are not downloadable, you
can upload the completed movie directly to YouTube.
After your clip has been
uploaded to YouTube, you can download it using a Firefox extension called
DownloadHelper. Optional: The next, paid
version is $25/year ($30 - $5 coupon, Google for “animoto coupon”). This plan is probably ideal for most videos.
One of the disadvantages of
these versions is the Animoto brand in the end.
You can easily remove it using other video editors (you will find
numerous YouTube 30 sec clips without Animoto brand) but be warned that it is
against their Terms of Service.
Upgrading to unbranded versions costs significantly more.
Animoto.com site has
everything to start: features, sample videos, advanced
plugins, resources and FAQs. Also, please find a tutorial in the bonus
videos provided with this report.
PROS:
-
Easy
to learn
-
Short
production time
-
Royalty-Free
music library
CONS:
-
Not a
lot of customization
-
30
sec clip length
-
Slide
text limited to two lines
-
No
DVD or HD quality
-

Here are two random Animoto
clips from YouTube:
Windows Users
2/ Windows Live Movie Maker
This free software is more
than enough to start producing highly customizable videos. It takes some time to learn it though. Once comfortable, you can produce movies of
excellent quality and any time length.
Their website contains everything to get started. The program has more social media sharing
options than Animoto and production includes a wide range of video output
quality. The main disadvantage is that
it does not have a royalty free music collection.
Please find a tutorial in
the bonus videos provided with this report.
PROS:
-
Highly
customizable (compared to Animoto)
-
Any
video quality
-
Come
back and edit anytime
-
No
brand stamp
CONS:
-
More
time to learn (compared to Animoto)
-
Longer
to produce a clip (compared to Animoto)
-
No
music library
Optional: Additional list of
free video editors is provided in the Free Resources section. One of the most popular and advanced video
tools is Camtasia Studio which combines video editing with screen capture
capabilities. This program requires a
significant investment.
Some other paid video editors:
-
CyberLink
PowerDirector
-
Corel
Video Studio Pro
-
Adobe
Premier Elements (Mac version available)
-

Mac Users
2/ Apple iMovie
“Apple iMovie is comparable to Windows Movie Maker, but Apple iMovie is used on the MAC operating system. Apple iMovie has many advanced features and add-ons. The software is only free if you buy a new MAC system. If you want the software without buying the system, it is available for purchase. One of the best free video editor programs available for MAC users.
To summarize this section:
Usually, video for marketing purposes does not require complex visual
effects. There are plenty of free video
editors out there. I mentioned the simplest
and the best in my opinion. If you would
like to spend more time to learn about other editors, please see the Free Resources
section. Video training for Animoto and
Movie Maker is provided on the corresponding homepages and in the video bonus tutorials
coming with this report.
VIDEO CREATION
General Considerations:
You video should not be
longer than an average song clip. Make
it simple, with clear messages and call to action.
Four of many approaches to
make a video are the following:
1/ Conservative
Similar to product sales
pages, your clip could contain three parts:
-
Point
to the problem your product or service is going to solve
-
Benefits
(not features) of using namely this product or service
-
(Optional:
consider a short testimonial sample (social proof))
-
Clear
call to action
2/
Provocative-Entertaining-Emotional – laugh, shock, fear, humor, sadness, excitement, sex, money or
anything eliciting an emotional response.
This one requires “out of
box” thinking and could be hit or miss.
The main goal is to entice viewers to click on your link. Up to your imagination.
3/
Instruction-Demonstration-HowTo
These videos are usually
longer and more detailed. Google love
them and they are often rank higher and included on Google top pages.
4/ Testimonials
These videos are usually
used in addition to your main marketing video and represent live recording of a
person who is using or have used the product.

Image and text sources for your video:
To find product or service
related images the simplest ways are:
-
Type
your search term in Google Advanced Image Search and check the Commercial use box under
Usage rights. Save the images you like
(Paid option is to buy iStock images)
-
Use
Affiliate Resources Page of the product you are marketing
-
Use a
free screen capture tool such as Jing or (if you
capture webpage images) Firefox web browser extensions (such as Pixlr
Grabber). Also, see the Free Resources
section and the bonus software coming with this report.
For text sources, go to the
product website and grab information there or come up with your own
headlines. In Animoto you are very
limited with text space. Therefore, you
need to be concise and stress out the most important points. In Movie Maker you can use images with the
text captured from the product website or the affiliate resources pages.
If you make a short video it
is a good idea to start with questions related to the problem followed by the
main benefit points (answers to the questions) and finally a clear call to
action (click on the link below, for example).
If your clip is longer than 30 seconds, you have more options how to
arrange your time-line.
You should watermark (include your website
address, for example) your video. You
can do it while making the video or later in YouTube using the annotation
feature. If your movie is not
watermarked you have done an excellent job for a potential video hijacker.
To summarize this section:
Whether you are surprised or not, making videos is the easiest part. Regardless of how you arrange your time-line
or presentation and whichever tool you use, the clip should not be longer than
an average song (in order not to lose viewers’ attention) and should contain a
clear call to action.
Note: Often, you can use
already made videos provided on the affiliate page. You can also use review videos from authority
sites. Similar to ezine articles, you
just need to make sure you give credit to the source either in the video or in
the description.
MAKING YOUTUBE ACCOUNT,
VIDEO UPLODING, KEYWORD AND PAGE OPTIMIZATION
Keyword research
This is probably the most
important step in your ranking strategy.
I am assuming here that you
have a general knowledge of working with spreadsheets. If not please Google on how to use them. Download and install a free program called Open
Office (or you might have
Microsoft Office, which is a paid program, installed already).
General considerations:
Try to identify keywords
with at least 1,000 searches per month and with less than 50,000 competitor
pages for the “Phrase” option. If you go
after these types of keywords it will greatly increase the chances to get your
video on the first page of Google.
I would also like to address
here the approach of finding so-called video retainer keywords. The idea is to type keyword candidates into
Google and see if there are videos on pages 1-3 of the Google results. If videos are there then you are likely to
rank your video on one of the first Google pages too. Conversely, if there are no videos then you
should avoid such keywords.
Taking into account my own
experience and the fact that Google’s algorithm always changes, my opinion is
that it is often not the case.
Therefore, while I agree that this is a valuable strategy I personally
do not make it as one of the most important considerations.
Tip: Keywords starting with
“how to” are very good candidates for ranking videos on Google.
Google Keyword Tool Research:
1/ First, I’ll describe a long
approach.
You should know what you are
promoting and have a general idea of the main keywords. If you have absolutely no idea what the main
keywords are but at least have a website of the product or service you could do
the following:
Go to Google Keyword tool and enter your website address
there. The tool will give you a set of
relevant keywords what it thinks that site is about. Export 50-100 most relevant keywords as a CSV
(Comma-Separated-Value) file.
If you do have an idea of
your main keywords or the affiliate program provides a set of keywords, paste
them in the YouTube Keyword tool , choose “Descriptive word and phrases”
and click “Get keyword ideas”. You’ll
find that YouTube keyword tool will give you many results which are not
relevant to your product or which have “Not enough data”. Choose those that are relevant (in most cases
there will be very few) and have monthly search volume data and click
“Add”. Then export added keywords as a
CSV file. Combine them with your main
keywords and paste into Google keyword tool.
Now you have a set of keywords searched in Google and YouTube. Sort them by relevancy.
2/ Short approach.
Paste your keywords in Google
keyword tool, search and sort by relevancy.
Now scan through the
keywords and choose several candidates with relatively high search volume and
relatively low competition value (usually they are long tail keywords – three
or more word phrases). It is difficult
to give recommendations on the exact search volume values since these are
Google, not YouTube, numbers and they are very relative; but try to have broad
local monthly searches more than a thousand and medium to low competition.
Go to YouTube, paste them
one by one and see what your competition is.
If you see videos with the exact keyword match in the title and hundreds
of thousands views it will be hard to rank.
If there are videos with a lot of views but no exact match in the title -
it is a candidate. Based on these
criteria choose your best keyword.
Note: If you are willing to
spend money, such paid programs as Market Samurai and YouTube Spy will make
these steps much easier.
YouTube account
First to note, you should
have a separate YouTube (and email) account for every YouTube channel promoting
similar products or services. If YouTube
suspends one of your accounts, you will lose only a few videos, not all.
To make YouTube accounts you
need to have email addresses.
For those of you who do not
want to have Gmail accounts or feel comfortable with Phone Verification of a
Gmail account please disregard the following paragraphs.
For those who have or would
like to have many Gmail addresses: you probably know how difficult it is to
create a Gmail account without phone verification (PVA).
If you do not want to be
phone verified, here is a little trick to create Gmail addresses without PVA:
-
Clear
browser’s cookies (assumption is that you know how to do it or Google for it)
-
Use unusual
(or variations/misspelling of usual) First and Last names (you can change them
later)
-
Use
random password
-
Security
Question – choose “Write my own question”
-
Do
not enter recovery email
You should not have problems
with PVA.
To keep thing organized, it
is a good idea to name each Gmail and YouTube account the same - with your main
keyword. If, for example (let’s be
original J), your
main keyword is “dog training” then your Gmail and YouTube usernames could be,
for instance, dogtraining647. The main
point here is that your YouTube username should include your primary keyword.
(Optional) When your YouTube
account is ready go to account settings and upload a photo. Fill out one or more of the sections (for
example, interests) with keyword rich text.
Video uploading and page optimization
By now you have your primary
keyword, YouTube account and video ready.
Go to your video folder and rename your file to your main keyword. Upload the video to YouTube. Go to “Video Manager” and wait a few minutes
until uploading and processing are completed and a video thumbnail shows an
image. Click on “Edit info”.
Title
Each word in the title
should start with a capital letter. The
title should start (or at least include) with your primary keyword.
Often, you’ll find that
marketers would have only their main keyword in the title, for example: Dog
Training. Or two-three keywords arranged
in a way like this: Dog Training | Dog Barking | Dog Biting. Maybe it works for them. It does not seem to be written for humans
though and probably does not inspire people to click on such a title.
Criteria to be considered to
optimize your title:
-
Primary
keyword
-
Catchy
title
-
Asking
a question
-
Using
power keywords such as discover, reveal, amazing, instant etc.
Description
Description should start
with your link.
If you do not have your own
website and have a long affiliate link, you should use URL shortening services
like bit.ly. It shortens and cloaks the ugly looking link
and, what is important, provides tracking data.
If you do have your own
website or a squeeze page and would like to use the tracking features of bit.ly
you can use a redirect script to your bit.ly link. It also provides an additional backlink to
your site. Here is how to do it for html and php. (If you do not know what html and php mean, please Google for these
terms.)
Your link should be followed
by the primary keyword. Primary keyword
is the beginning of your description body text.
If you start your description text on the next line below the link,
please keep in mind that the collapsed version of description can cover the
text. Therefore, if you want the viewers
to read your text, start it on the same line as the link.
You can use different
sources for your description. Create it
yourself, modify text from a website, copy-paste an original article or an
article from article directories (keeping their links). Two-four paragraph text works fine for
me. I try to enrich the text with
related keywords, include a call to action followed by the link again and
conclude with a title variation.
Description criteria:
-
Start
with the link
-
Include
your primary keyword in the beginning
-
Depending
on the text length and keyword density, consider having your primary keyword in
the middle and in the end of the text body
-
Add
LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing = relevant, related) keywords
-
If
you used a copyrighted material and did not include your credits in the video,
this is the place to include it
-
Consider
linking to an authority site in your description
Tags
The importance of tags is
underestimated. Often, marketers simply
do not bother to do research and optimize them.
Some consider adding many tags as spamming YouTube. However, what you will find is that you can
easily rank for them, sometimes even higher than for your primary keyword. Therefore, the more tags you add the
better.
You should include here your
primary keyword and its variations as well as the product author’s name. Separate tags either by comma or include each
tag (one tag could consist of several words) in quotes.
If you have several videos
for the same niche or product and want them to appear together in the related
videos column, you should have your special tag(s) for all of them. Other tags could be different for each video
to spread out your chances of ranking for different keywords. For example, if your product is an eBook “Dog
Training” by John Smith, it comes from a website dogtraining.com, and you have
several videos for this product, consider all your videos to include the
following group of special tags:
dog training, dogtraning,
dogtraining.com, john smith
Criteria for tags:
-
Primary
keyword
-
Primary
keyword variations
-
Author’s
name
-
Product
website address
-
Special
keywords (the same for different videos in the same niche/product)
-
LSI
keywords (different for different videos in the same niche/product)
-
The
more tags the better
Note: One interesting
technique to generate/hijack traffic is the following. Find your competitor with lots of
traffic/views. Copy his/her tags (and
title); add them to your tags. Whenever
his/her video is watched your clip will be in the related videos column.
Category
If you want targeted visitors – then choose
the corresponding category. If your
video is general and you want more traffic use common sense. For example, Entertainment, Music, Film and
Animation would have more traffic than Science.
Many affiliate products answer “how to” questions and correspondingly
should go to Howto & Style.
Video Thumbnail
It is important to have an
attractive thumbnail, not just image of text or background. While some marketers believe that YouTube
picks thumbnails at 1/3, ½, 2/3, and others – ¼, ½, ¾ of the video time-line, I
have found that it actually fluctuates around those points and random.
Therefore, if you use
Animoto there is not much you can do.
With Movie Maker you can edit the original video source by inserting an
image you want as a thumbnail and extending its exposure time around the time
points mentioned above. Then you
re-upload the edited version. All this
takes time. In any case: you have a
choice of three thumbnails you can use as your main one.
Tip: If your content allows,
insert a good looking woman image around those points.
Broadcast and sharing options
Privacy – Public
License – Standard
Comments
Comments are a very
important criterion which YouTube uses to evaluate how popular videos are. You can automatically allow comments.
However, it could also be
used by competitors to kill your video.
My understanding is that there are special words such as “scam” etc.
which mark your video for a review.
Since YouTube wants viewers to have positive experience, if this happens
you immediately get a 6-months warning.
If video turns out to be a copyrighted material your account can get
suspended.
Therefore, if you really
want to control this feature consider setting it to “Allow all comments with approval only”.
Comment Voting
This could be used by others
to manipulate your comments. But until
you reach high view count it is probably not that much of importance. You can leave the default “Yes” here.
Video Responses
Allow responses for the main
reason that these are additional backlinks to your video.
Ratings – Yes, allow this video to be rated by
others.
Embedding - Yes,
external sites may embed and play this video.
Make sure your video is watermarked.
Syndication - Yes, make
this video available on mobile phones and TV.
AudioSwap
If
your video does not have an audio track, this is the place to add your
music.
Annotations
This
is a great feature. You can use it in
many ways: to direct viewers to what you want them to do, call to action,
watermark the clip etc. But what is important is that annotations are text and
could be crawled by Google. Use it to
add at least your primary keyword.
One
approach to add keywords is to minimize the text size and the time your
annotation is displayed.
You
can also make your text clickable to link to another YouTube video, playlist or
channel.
Keep
in mind though that those links are only internal for YouTube website
properties. If you want to make a
clickable overlay to an external link - use this method.
Captions and Subtitles
This
feature is designed for people with hearing problems. You can experiment here with your ideas.
Edit your video
If
you want to do quick fixes, apply photo effects or experiment with music
content you can do it here.
Your YouTube Channel
As
mentioned earlier, if it is not your primary channel and you want to do minimal
amount of work but have it at least somewhat optimized – add a photo and insert
a keyword rich text in your profile.
When you have several/many
videos uploaded, improve your channel optimization and design (for example,
background) to encourage visitors to subscribe to your videos and channel.
Flagging
Flagging
is a process of users complaining-informing YouTube that your videos are in
breach of community guidelines. The
result is receiving one or more warnings and depending on Youtube’s decision –
potentially permanent deletion of your account.
There are many factors which could influence flagging.
Duplicate
content and your competitors are some of them.
There is no appeal process and as sad as it sounds there is not much you
can do about it. My recommendation is
always backup your videos and spread them among different YouTube
accounts. Make sure you are familiar
with YouTube community guidelines:
http://www.youtube.com/t/community_guidelines
INDEXING AND BOOKMARKING
While there are many ways to
index and bookmark a YouTube video, I will only focus on free, easy, quick and
(semi)-automated resources.
After you uploaded your
video go to bulkping.com
Make a RSS feed (RSS Feed
Generator Creator)
Submit your RSS feed (Free
RSS Submit online, make sure to validate it).
It submits your link to 27
RSS directories and helps quickly index your video.
Optional: Use “Fast Index
Free Backlinks” feature. It submits your
URL to about 2500 statistical sites.
While, as of today, only about 300 of them work and Google does not seem
to count many of them, it helps. Also, keep in mind it takes more than 60
minutes to complete the task.
Go to onlywire.com
Sign up for an account. Download the program. Create social accounts (optional: hire
somebody on fiverr.com for $5 to create accounts for you).
Onlywire automatically
submits your URL to more than 50 bookmarking sites. Allowed limit for a free account is 300
submissions per month. While less than
fifty work and you have to enter 4-5 captchas manually it is free and
automatic.
If you use more than 300 submissions in less
than 30 days your account will be suspended.
You will create a new free account.
Go to imautomator.com
Create an account. Start submitting. With a free account you are allowed to 10
submissions per day. Most of the sites
are different from onlywire.com. IMAutomator have their own accounts so that
you do not have sign up for each of them.
You have a choice of drip-feed submission in 1, 15, 45 days. About 10 out of 15 submissions work.
Go to socialmonkee.com
Create an account. Get 25 unique inbound links every single day – free. Download and install socialmonkee Firefox plugin. Social Monkee allows spintax. With paid versions you can submit up to 125 sites with drip-feed feature. Leave a comment on their site with your URL for an additional backlink.
Go to 247backlinks.info and 247Backlinks.com
Sign up and get 1,000 free scheduled backlinks. You are allowed a maximum of 25 projects at any given time. Also, you will receive 1,000 backlinks for every new person you introduce to this website. On top of that, you will receive 10% of the backlinks for every purchase your referrals make (cookies last for 1 year).
If you are willing to pay 0.001 cent/link you can get up to 100,000 backlinks. They also provide summary reports. Their fresh and constantly updating database contains in total more than 33 million URLs, including more than 4,000 forums and more than 1,000,000 blogs. Their support team will actually reply to your emails.
Go to contentbuzz.com
Create an account, download
software, and start using your free 200 credits. Contentbuzz (used to be videowildfire.com) is
a private network of members promoting each other’s content. They have bookmarking and video promotion
services. Free account does not allow
much of submitting to video sites, but you can use the service for bookmarking. Many sites are different from onlywire and
imautomator. Free and automated.
Go to Tubemogul.com
This service is a free
online video submitter for non-commercial videos. You can try to submit your video to video
sharing sites here for free. However,
keep in mind that if they consider your videos to have commercial intent your
videos will be deleted.
Other video submission sites and notes
You will find many video
submission sites in the Resources section.
Submission is free but you have to go there, create accounts, and submit
videos – one by one.
YouTube has its own “Share”
button. You can use it too. However, all their services are covered by
the above bookmarking submitters.
Do not forget to use
Youtube’s email button to email your video to as many addresses as
possible.
Similarly, use your channels
“Post a bulletin” function to broadcast your newly uploaded video.
Use your other YouTube
accounts to rate, view, subscribe, add to playlists, like and comment on your
new video.
Send friend requests
regularly to other members to increase your visitor counts and other
statistics.
Comment on related videos
and post video responses. Since your YouTube/channel’s
username is your primary keyword you get an anchored backlink from a related YouTube
page. This is a great approach for getting
powerful backlinks to your videos and it increases your chances to appear at
the top of Google.
Embed your video to your
blogs and other web properties. Make
video sitemaps (for HTML - VideoSiteMapPro, for wordpress – use one of these plugins) and submit them to Google.
TRAFFIC
If you did proper keyword
research and video page optimization, by now you should see your video on the
first page of YouTube (and hopefully Google) for your primary keyword or for
one of the tags. You should also start
to see some organic views.
The number of views help
people click on your video, and the more clicks/views you have the higher your
ranking. The higher your rankings the
more views you get. Together with increasing
number of social bookmarks it is sort of a snowball effect.
YouTube ranking depends on
the following criteria, in this order:
1) Views
2) Subscribers
3) Favorites
4) Likes
5) Comments
Additional Criteria:
-
Video
title
-
Description
-
Tags
-
Number
of incoming links
-
Number
of shares
-
Age
of video
-
Number
of playlist additions
-
Flagging
-
Number
of embeds
-
Channel
views
-
Number
and quality of sites that host or point to your video
However, it is a combination
of all of the above as well as your keyword research, backlinks and page
optimization. Also, there is a lag on
YouTube and sometime it takes more than a week to get to the first page.
To help with your view
count, there are free view exchange programs.
There are many of them. The main
idea is that you automatically watch videos of the network members and earn
credits. In turn, you submit your
video’s URL and get views from other participants.
Among those programs, in my
opinion, the best one is Vagex.com
You do not only get views
but subscribers, favorites, likes and comments too. It does not violate YouTube TOS, randomized,
and you get everything in correct proportions: the number of comments is
smaller than likes, likes smaller than favorites etc.
The way it works is you
download and install their program. They
also have a Firefox plugin. You are allowed up to five IPs (IP – internet
protocol) and five machines per IP (if you do not know what IP is please Google
for it). The system is very flexible:
you can stop, edit, add and delete your task any time.
If you decide to use it and
you do not want to hear the sound of playing clips there are two ways to mute
it. One is to drag the volume slider on
the YouTube video all the way down, as opposed to pressing the mute button.
This will effectively silence all YouTube videos. If it does not work, you can mute the whole
Firefox browser: click on the sound icon in the task bar, choose mixer and mute
Firefox.
System also allows to earn
money if you watch clips and do not submit your videos.
When you have just submitted
your video and start running the task it gives about 150 views per day. You can earn credits not only by watching
videos but also by submitting Vagex links to Facebook, Twitter, forums etc.
In combination with other
similar view exchange tools (see below) you can get a huge amount of views very
quickly which definitely helps your rankings.
A few other view exchange sites:
http://socialmedianetworkexchange.com/
Disclaimer: You will find
that some of these sites are on the border of YouTube TOS. It is up to you to decide whether to use them
or not. Other more advanced and/or more
grey-hat methods and techniques are not mentioned here.

To summarize this
section: A lot of videos on YouTube with
high view count contain non-organic views.
There are many ways to do it. The
tools shown here comply with YouTube TOS, free and automated. They will definitely help you rankings.
Next steps
Reaching high rankings is
not the end. You need to stay
there. You could hope that your videos
go viral but this is not always the case.
Therefore, you need to work on backlinking. But this is beyond the scope of this report.
While talking about viral
approach to video marketing, I would like to mention VideoForward.com
This is however a paid
membership site. What you can do there is create a separate video page for your
videos or any video including, for example, YouTube most viewed clips. To monetize it you can then put Adsense,
Affiliate or CPA offers as well as an opt-in form around the video. Additional way to make money is when visitors
come to your page and then join the program.
You do not have to create a separate website and you can have as many
video pages as you wish.
In conclusion, I would like
to say that obviously there are better ways, tools and methods if you invest
money. But if you want to get involved
in YouTube and video marketing with no initial investment, I hope this report
provides enough free and (semi)-automated tools and resources for you to get
started and quickly get your videos ranked on YouTube and Google. The only thing left is to take action.
Good luck!
