Video Marketing

We have been promoting the idea of creating video content and sharing it on the web as a marketing and brand building exercise. The concept is simple, just like TV advertising, you create (or commission) some compelling video content, add your branding and possibly a web address and then share it on the web.

What many people don’t realise is that unlike TV advertising, it doesn’t cost anything to distribute your video. There more opportunities than simply embedding the video into your own website and possibly uploading to YouTube. A little bit of time spent submitting the video to other sites can dramatically improve the reach of your content.

The following is a list of websites that I compiled over the space of about an hour:

As you can see there are many to choose from and this is by no means a comprehensive list, just the ones that I found quickly. There are more and more niche sites appearing on which relevant videos would likely perform better than in the more mainstream or broad-scoped content sites.
