Video is the future of social media online. Video online is a central storage area and delivery system for videos to be distributed, on demand, to any computer connected to the Internet, by means of up to date streaming technology and downloads.
The amount of video online is skyrocketing, whether it’s “Bloopers” episodes or movie trailers and the key to monetizing video online is matching the consumer with what they’d be willing to buy right now.
The major broadcast networks are rushing to put video online because of user demand. In fact, Witzig said that watching video online is now the fastest growing form of consumer entertainment. The vast amount of video online is user generated and the most exciting part is what is yet to come; interactive video.
The user experience of watching video online is actually very different than reading a news article on a web page and interactivity would bring it to a whole new level. Watching television is a very passive pass time, while watching video online is more engaging, and online video advertising could be made much more engaging by adding the interactive element to the mix.
To say that video online is a massive market opportunity would be an understatement and getting your video advertisement online is safe, quick, and easy. It is inexpensive when compared to TV broadcasting and a video demonstration could clarify the advantages of your product.
The amazing thing about the explosion of video online is the huge numbers of people who are experimenting with the medium which only adds to the market potential for advertisers.
Video search engines and directories, online video publishing and sharing sites, web based video editing and post production services are springing up all over, demonstrating that the power of video is finally breaking away from the confines of television.
According to the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR), “Blogs and online video are the most popular social media tools, 78 percent and 63 percent of marketers have used them, respectively, followed by social networks 56 percent and podcasts 49 percent.
Respondents show an overall high satisfaction level with social media tools. All rank three or higher on a scale of 1-5, but no one tool is a clear number one performer.”
Another advantage of Video online is that it doesn’t disappear when the ad campaign is over or your budget runs out. Video publishers, blogs, news sites, video search engines and sharing sites all get free quality video content around which to build and mold their own value added suggestions.
Successful companies have realized how valuable video can be to their marketing efforts. But the greatest potential value their videos have is completely wasted when these same companies publish videos that are embedded in their website, not allowing access to others for redistribution.
A great video about a great idea would provide fantastic content for other publishers to take and syndicate elsewhere. This could only lead to more exposure and more sales for the companies involved.
Video has finally come of age on the internet, and whether you simply want to share some home movies, shoot for your three minutes of video fame, or get your advertisement seen by the world, some truly inventive and adventurous ways exist to make it happen. Video is growing; it’s here to stay and is the future of social media online.

Viral Video Marketing is all about creating videos that induce people to pass them on to others or encourage them to tell others about the video or videos, and is the next phenomenon in internet marketing.
Viral video marketing is a marketing event that facilitates and encourages people to pass along a video marketing message voluntarily.
It is dependent on the word-of-mouth creation system, which lets other people cut through the information, sort it, process it, and then pass on the benefit of their experience.
Viral video marketing is a science because there are ways to scientifically increase your chances of making your video go viral. Viral video marketing is the process of getting instant and immediate popularity and is a super way to build your online brand visibility.
It is often used as a way to promote a site because it’s fairly simple to accomplish when compared to other methods such as direct mail, pay per click ads, or search engine marketing.
The goal of the home based business person is to create viral marketing videos that spread over the web like a virus and create massive amounts of traffic to your website. This is why it’s sometimes compared to a virus.
Viral Video Marketing is a great way to put your face with your product and is a great strategy to get the word out about your product or service. It is the next stage in interactive word of mouth advertising and has the potential to drive a massive amount of targeted traffic to your website.
Viral video marketing is a growing trend in the online marketing industry and is less expensive than the traditional media. The most complicated part of viral video marketing is the creation of the video itself.
Once the viral video is finished and ready to be launched it should be placed on several websites which specialize in online video marketing.
Viral Video Marketing is changing the way we do business because with nearly 70% of home Internet users now surfing using a broadband connection online video viewing has exploded.
There are several factors which determine the success of your viral video with two of the most important being your distribution or placement of the finished product and having an innovative idea for your video to become viral in the first place. Without the innovative idea, of course, distribution becomes a moot point.
Your video can be combined with several other Social Media Marketing techniques to help it go Viral. For example you can share your video on Facebook with your entire list. You can also embed the video on MySpace in the comments section of different pages.
Email the video to your friends to make sure as many people as possible know about it. You can also promote the video on your Blog and perhaps create a build up to it in terms of being a coming attraction.
These techniques in addition to having a unique idea for the video to help it along its viral path and having it distributed by a website specializing in online video marketing should help establish it as Viral in no time at all.
Video Marketing is a relatively unexplored form of Internet Marketing that can be used to rank in the top 10 results for almost any term. Now, video marketing is a driving force within the Social Media online marketing industry.

We are confident that Video Swiper will be released and opened as a public beta by the end of June 2008, we are hoping that all gremlins have been ironed out and that the system is working smoothly for the launch.
Now with a huge number of video webmasters taking a keen interest in the application the pressure is on to have this application launched and ready to go on time.
We will keep all subscribed users up to date with any announcements regarding the launch and if you are yet to subscribe we suggest doing so, this will help both us and you keep everyone in the picture.
Here at VideoSwiper we are extremely excited about the new launch of this amazing and powerful mass video embedding application.

With many new features and tools lined up for general release we intend to keep you on your toes right after the first public beta release adding new widgets for our users to take advantage of.
VideoSwiper was born out of frustration and lack of time to upload videos to our own media sharing sites, we knew there had to be an easier and faster way to populate these sites to get users to interact more and feel more motivation to upload media themselves. Read the rest of this entry »
