Double Benefits From Video on YouTube

How many things can you do that gets more visitors to your website, and then turns more visitors into customers? Not many… but putting a video about your business on YouTube does just that.

When you post a video on YouTube about your business, you include a link to your website. So you gain a backlink from YouTube which helps your SEO (keyword ranking). And when a visitor to your website clicks on your link to your video, they become more involved and typically are more likely to contact you (an established fact).

A video does not have to be expensive to create. You can do it yourself. Take a 20-30 second video with your phone of your customer’s new hairdo you gave them, or new piano you sold them, or new rollerblade you repaired, or new lawn you just landscaped, and then upload to YouTube. If you don’t have a YouTube account, go to their website and create one; it’s easy.

A total of about 10 minutes of your time can have a very positive impact on your business.

Do it… now!
