Never tried it myself or know of anyone personally, but, look at all the press and attention some people get. Whether it is a young girl who gained attention singing or some comedian, I have seen it work in weird ways.

I would give it a try if your business is something that would draw attention on something like youtube. It will not cost you anything to try.

We use it quite a bit. We do product and merchant reviews for a few of our sites. One of the big tips that we got was to include our URL at the beginning of our video descriptions. Now when I check my referral stats, I often see Youtube on there.

I use You Tube as well as a few other video directories for marketing and have had fabulous resuts. Now that Google owns You Tube, your videos will also rank well in the Google Search results.

Be sure that you SEO your videos.

- Put your key word in the Video title
- Add your website link at the front of your Video Description
- Be sure keywords are in your description also
- Have a Call to Action in your video

I have written a blog about video marketing if you want more information

http://Blog.CalgarySEM.com called "Lights, Camera, Action - why Videos work"

Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting Lisa. I am planning to add some video and was going to post on UTube also.

All what Lisa says and then you can go viral with tubemogul.com.

Video marketing will get you great results with the right keywords.

One other way to use video is to also post video on your blog. The search engines love this as well as your readers. It allows them to get to know YOU on a more intimate level.

Make a goal for yourself when it comes to posting to Youtube. I would start out with 4-5 videos a week and work up from there. The more you do it, the more comfortable you will be!

YouTube can work wonders. I haven't implemented YouTube just yet because I'm still building content but here is one way you can use YouTube.

Find a video with a LOT of hits, a video in your industry. Click the link that allows you to post a video response. Post a video response with you saying your company in the video.

Let us know the results.
