YouTube marketing
I’m often asked about the different types of videos: there’s a video for YouTube, a video for Facebook, a video for Instagram, and there is TikTok. While there are so many platforms available, I see this as a major mistake for most business owners and marketers. They try to use video marketing in all the places equally.
My advice: don’t. Just pick the best one based on your research, where your market is, and which platform is best for your business. In my agency. we specialize in Google ads and YouTube ads. My typical client will often go to YouTube to learn about digital marketing. So we only focus our marketing videos on YouTube.
Yes, there is also Facebook and Instagram, but we choose YouTube as we strategically see a lot of value in this platform in terms of marketing tools and conversion. Just pick a primary channel that you’re gonna focus your growth on. In our case, we post almost every day on YouTube and we take these videos that we create and we post them to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit, Quora, and on our blog.
Google Ads
I see so many business owners and marketing directors that aren’t really jumping in and taking advantage of the plaid platform, specifically Google ads. We use Google ads to promote our video, we get it in front of our audiences, and we get tens of thousands of views on specific videos that we want to promote for our top of the funnel or our retargeting.
You can do the same thing. You can create a video regularly, you can build your audience organically, and you can pick 2-3 videos with good strong value and put those in Google ads.
Google ads can deliver your videos to your audience immediately. You can automatically get video views for as low as 1 cent each. YouTube and video marketing is not a crowded space and so you’re able to get inexpensive traffic.
