It’s true that you need to make your video go viral to stand out from the competition.

Video marketing is one technique you can make use of to succeed in online marketing.  Believe it or not, this technique has been taken advantage of by many SEO practitioners for its availability and convenience.

However, you don’t need fancy effects or word class actors to be in your video.  You will need people who will always back you up, a clever concept for the video to go viral, and a little luck.

You can utilize the tricks below to increase your chances of making it big in online marketing:

1. Think like a client

Before thinking like an audience, you should first determine your target audience.  One you determine this, you can now think what to include in the video or how to approach your target.  You need to think how you can interest them of your product or service.  There’s a little problem though.

One trick that applies to one demographic may not apply to another so you should study about this.  To do this, you need to think like you are part of the target market.  You will be surprised at what you will find.  I am sure that you will be able to find an idea that will captivate the viewers.

2. Make use of your social networking accounts

Your video will not be discovered if you don’t do anything to promote it.  Campaign for it through social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and more.  If you want, you can sign up in other video sharing sites such as YouTube and Vimeo.

3. Ask for your friends’ help in sharing your video

Your friends can use their social media accounts as well to make your video viral.  Tell your clients or other business contacts about this so they can help you too.

Believe me when I say that you need all the help you can get.  The success of this trick depends on the number of your friends who are more than willing to help you.  But if they don’t want to do so, don’t force them.

4. Create contests to spread your video

Set up a contest for your video.  You can have people post your video on their profiles.  The person with the most number of likes wins the contest.  Or if you want, you can have people retweet or share your video on their blogs.  Anything goes as long as your video gets shared.

5. Conduct surveys

Trace where your video is posted and look at the comments or feedbacks.  Conduct a survey or poll about it if you want to.  Collect these comments and rate which feature they like best in your video.  Through this, you will determine the best elements to add for your next video.

These tips are pretty simple to do and follow.  Why don’t you try them out and see for yourself if your rankings spike and if your video can go viral even a little.  I have tried them out and the results were indeed favorable.

Will these tricks help your video go viral?
