Master YouTube Marketing to grow your business!

YouTube can be a refuge for business growth, where you get consistent streams of web traffic, leads and even revenue. If your company isn’t currently using YouTube as one of the tools in its marketing offer, then you’re definitely missing out. It’s never too late to start your YouTube marketing mission, and in fact, there are plenty of opportunities to overtake your rivals via YouTube.

YouTube includes more than one billion unique visitors per month, 300 hours of video upload per minute, and six billion hours of video viewing per month. These facts make it the largest video site and the second largest search engine in the world, just behind Google. YouTube maintains huge opportunities for businesses, particularly in terms of reach. To reap the benefits that YouTube offers companies, the first step is to open a YouTube channel and start posting helpful, interesting content. However, it’s not enough just to publish videos on YouTube in the hope that your prospects will immediately find them; you’ve got to do some hard work.

Video Content Strategy

Having a great content strategy means more people will find your content and hopefully buy your products or service.

While it’s great for search, YouTube alone is not a comprehensive video strategy, as the whole platform is designed for people to get lost watching other people’s recommended videos.  Once you know which video strategy is working, you can then double down on it and maximise the reach of your videos.

You will be able to understand not only how to see your key metrics such as watch time reports, unique viewers, and traffic sources but you also know how to use that information to drive your video strategy and grow your follower base.

  • Different types of video and when they’re used
  • Measurement: what does success look like?

Creating great video content

Video is a versatile and engaging content format that not only gives us a real-life picture of what’s going on; it’s also easy to share across multiple platforms. Consumers like it because it’s easy to digest, entertain and engage, and marketers like it because it can give a potentially huge return on investment (ROI) through many channels.

Video is also very accessible to anyone who has access to the internet, both for watching and producing. While there is certainly a trend towards higher quality video at a professional level, anyone can open their laptop and make their own video in less than an hour – we want to help you get the most from it. For instance, when creating your best video success stories. You should focus on the story of your customer and the success you managed – did he/she achieved from using your product or service.

  • Meeting minimum quality standards
  • How to make your online video content shareable

Measurement & evaluation

Your ultimate goal is to know the most important viewer actions to measure. This is so you can reach the most relevant audience on YouTube, and to meet or outperform your original campaign objectives.

When you launch a campaign on YouTube, the thing you want most of all is video views. But what exactly do you want those views actually to achieve: consideration, awareness, or sales?

We will look at the following:

  • Measuring and understanding brand awareness vs engagement
  • The continuous improvement process: analyse, test, repeat

Legal Guidelines

Staying within the law on social media can be a real challenge for most companies, mainly because legislation can be so overwhelming. However, most legal problems on social media have often occurred due to simple accidents.

Brands should establish a curation process for user-generated content and obtain the necessary rights and legal permissions for use to avoid infringement. A brand’s use of imagery has several associated legal ramifications and rights, such as ownership of images and media – we will look at the best practices around this to put your mind at ease.
