Copywriter's Turning to Video to Increase Conversions

Video marketing has been predicted as the biggest change in online marketing in 2010. If the offline copywriters are taking notice then it means there are definite changes happening. What video marketing strategies and video marketing plans have you put in place for 2010? Even the TV stations are putting their television series online because they are smart enough to see that is where their target audience are hanging out.

You have two choices...you can wait and see and play catch up like the other skeptics out there or you can be smart and beat your competitor to the market. It is not a matter of if and when but how quickly you can get started..

Here is one of the latest predictions for marketing in 2010....

Marketing
I know that video marketing is not the newest of ideas, however many internet marketers will still not have produced their first video by the end of 2009. Every search engine is placing more weight on video than any other form of online media and will continue to do so in 2010. Video sharing is already easy, and many companies are still looking for ways to make it even easier in 2010. The “experimentation period” is over. Video marketing has proved to be successful at gaining traffic and adding profits.

What to Do?
Video, Video, Video. Every word on your website could be used in a video. Even if, for some reason, you do not integrate video into a majority of your site, it is still a great advertising tool. Make videos for online sharing galleries like the ever popular YouTube. People want to see you and hear you, not just read what you write. A good Indianapolis online video firm to connect with is Cantaloupe. They actually have a special holiday deal going on that looks pretty good.
