Ok so you’ve done your keywords after finding all the best ones on Google keywords, you’ve then added them to your site and then done a Facebook page, a Twitter account and a Google map for your business? You’ve spent a lot of time adding your site to Directories, and you’ve been bookmarking on all the top sites Digg, stumbleupon, reddit, pinging etc? You have also done a few Press releases and set up a Press room, and have been cleaning your local ‘education councilors’ car every weekend for a month for that all important .edu link? Fantastic then you have been a fine scholar of all my blogs. One last thing, ….your Video.
Why Video, well because people love video. People will watch almost 4 minutes of video on average as compared to less than a minute of reading a text website. If you have not already started using video in your marketing you should. Video captures the visual learner, when you combine sound, motion graphics, human elements and dynamic storyline; you engage your visitors and influence them. Video tells a story that the written word alone cannot. And it can be done very inexpensively indeed!
The Video is a quintessential part of your website optimization and must be taken seriously. Even if you have run a video off your cheap phone camera it’s better than not having a video. Every one of the top viral videos with literally millions of hits, nobody cared that it was not done in a studio with all the correct lighting, it was just fun. So don’t think you can just set up your webcam, talk in a monologue for 15 mins, and then be an internet sensation and appear on the television next week, you got to make it compellingly interesting or at the very least funny,…….. or Sexy. read on…
I recently ran an advert on Facebook for models to send me their pictures in a Bikini (Oh why I never thought of this before I will kick myself forever) and what a fun few weeks it was opening up the wonderful ladies Jpegs. And I knew that all my hard work over the years networking and meeting people and getting them to my Facebook profile and being a contact, so I had 5,000 contacts really really helped my cause. And I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who sent in their pics I am finally making my video for my travel website at last.
The company I use is really cost effective for videos in Thailand. (email me for rates)
Picture the scene it’s a beach (green screen) and then our intrepid beach belle romps around the video in her bikini, I mean what else do you wear on a beach? Here she explains all about the benefits of the website.
Now this is where I need your help, as I have narrowed the models down to just three finalists, and I can’t pick, …..so please help me pick a winner.
So here are the girls:
Kanyarat from Bangkok
Kanyarat
Piya from Bangkok
Piya
Nang Mod from Buriram
Nang
All the models have given written permission for me to use their pics (obviously) so please vote for your favourite Beach belle by clicking on the images of the model you wish to win the contract, and leaving a post for them on the Facebook page. I am sure they would all appreciate your vote, and then they will appear in my video and be paid handsomely for their time. I will let you see the video when done, it would be so mean not to ….
