Home Business Basics: Should I Venture Into Online Marketing?


Online marketing or internet marketing really is the way of the future. It is what everyone in network marketing is talking about and for good reason. Internet marketing is making working from home truly working from home! No more going all around town meeting people to make presentations, no more parties, no more meetings it is truly a work from home type of business. Online marketing is also a great way to reach a whole lot more people than you ever could working your business locally. You can reach people all over the U.S. and if your business is international you can even reach people overseas that’s why local marketing is quickly becoming a thing of the past… it’s just so darn effective and easy.

It’s also a great way to save money. Instead of spending money driving from place to place you can just sit in front of your computer and reach even more people than ever possible. So much of internet marketing is not free also, since so much great marketing can be done on free websites like facebook, youtube, ezine articles, ect.

Another great upside of internet marketing is that it’s great for people who are a little bit on the shy side. It can be really intimidating to talk to someone in person about your business but on the internet the pressure is off a bit more. So a lot of stay at home moms and “regular people” are now choosing to work online because they don’t have to be ultra impressive type A personalities to have success.

You can also have much more control over your own schedule when working from home online. You can stop when you need to stop if you’re taking care of your kids or you have to run to the store. You don’t have to worry about getting all dressed up and driving to a meeting you can now communicate with and network with people right from your home office and you can be wearing your pajamas if you want to!

So if you haven’t tried online marketing yet go ahead and give it a try. It can really change your business in a huge way.

How to Make the Best Youtube Videos for your Business

Video is a powerful medium and it works for huge companies when they advertise during the superbowl and it can work for your home based business on online sites like Youtube. So how do you get the most out of your online videos? Here are a few ways to make better you tube videos and get the most out of online video marketing.

First of all lets talk about length. The perfect Youtube video should be between 3 and 5 minutes. Any shorter and it will seems like you don’t have any value and any longer and people will start to tune out. So no more long 9 minute videos rambling on and on about your business keep it short!

Also, Youtube is not the place to give out all the information about your business. You don’t have to do the entire sales pitch. The main point behind a Youtube video is to get the person interested enough to either pick up and phone and call you or visit a website that will have more detailed information. That’s why you want to keep your videos short and interesting. You don’t want to go into a lot of detail because you can talk about that later. Just peak their interests, that’s enough.

Another good tip is that funny is always good. There are a million videos out there of people sitting in a boring office at a boring desk talking about boring things. If you really want to get peoples attention try to add some humor and craziness to your video that way people will remember you, they might pass your video on and they’ll probably be interested in at least finding out more about you or your business.

The final tip is to use keywords in your description and your title. The keywords will help people to find your videos. There are so many Youtube videos that if you don’t use keywords you might not end up getting very many views. So really do your research before you post your video and use keywords that people will be searching for.

I hope that these tips help you get a lot of views and gain a ton of prospects by using Youtube or any other online video site.
