Kill Your Internet Video Marketing Campaign Before It?s Too Late! - By Susanna Hess

Internet video marketing is so powerful you might want to re-think the whole idea.

After all, who are you to mass produce free leads on auto pilot?

Who do you think you are to grow a large list of customers, clients or prospects, who like and trust you?

What kind of person are you, to allow others to actually SEE you talking, caring and offering valuable tips, insights, and information?

To effectively kill your video marketing campaign (before it brings in too many leads for you to handle),

I?ve compiled a list of 10 things you can do right now to stop this madness.

10 Quick Ways to Kill Your Internet Video Marketing Campaign

#10. Be Mysterious

Don?t introduce yourself, or tell anyone who you are or how to find you.

If they don?t know your name, the name of your company, or even your website, you?ll never have to worry about getting too much traffic! Problem solved.

#9. Quality is Overrated

No need to concern yourself with sound or picture. People don?t mind.

In fact, it?s actually better to have poor quality because then they don?t feel like they have to be perfect when they start making videos.

#8. ?Everybody Loves [insert your name here]?

That?s right, you?re the one on camera, you?re the star of the show. Everyone loves YOU, so make sure that?s what you focus on? yourself!

Talk a lot about yourself, your accomplishments, your goals, your interests, your life? all about you and what you think.

Don?t worry about what they want or need. This is your time!

#7. Sell, Sell, Sell

You?ve worked hard to get where you?re at, don?t give it away for free!

It?s time to SELL. Give them your best pitch! Tell them all about how great your product or service is and all the reasons they should want to buy it.

After all, you?re not looking for a bunch of free loaders!

#6. Time to shine!

Draw that video out as long as possible.

Don?t tell them what the video is about until the end.

Make it a nice long video, and don?t give away the plot too soon!

#5. Be Humble

Don?t be too sure of yourself.

Throw plenty of ?umm?s? and ?uhhh?s? in there. This will give your videos that personal touch. Keep it real and down to earth.

You don?t want people to think too highly of you, or they?ll never leave you alone!

#4. Control Freak

Don?t be bossy and tell them what to do. You don?t want to look like a control freak.

Let them decide what to do when they finish watching your video (if they?ve made it this far).

You tell them to opt in to your list, or visit your website, they might actually DO IT! Remember, you don?t want TOO much traffic.

#3. Forget about it

After you upload your video to YouTube, leave it alone. Don?t tell anyone about it.

Make sure you don?t put it on your blog, website, Facebook, Tweet it, or share it on any social networking site.

Don?t even think of emailing it to your list. You don?t want them sharing it!

#2. Shoot first, Think later

Don?t waste your time finding good keywords before you record your video. You can do that later.

After you upload your video to YouTube, pick a few words from your video, and use those as tags.

Or better yet, don?t even worry about tagging it!

#1. Back to Boot Camp

Make sure YouTube gives your video the boot as soon as possible. You can do this easily by making income and lifestyle claims.

You know, talk all about how much money someone can make, or what a great lifestyle they can have, if they only buy your product or join your company.

You?re sure to get YouTube?s attention, and if you?re really lucky, they won?t just boot your video, they?ll close your whole account!
