Video Marketing Your Ticket To Traffic

Making a video is fun, but making a profitable video is even better. Best of all, to make a profitable video, all you need to do is create a video 'how-to' and provide links to your website inside that video. As for subject matter? That's truly the very best part because it doesn't matter what your 'how-to' video covers.

Just be sure that as you create your new how to video that your website url is:

At best, displayed the whole time your video is running, or

At worse, displayed when the video first starts and right before it ends.

Let's face it, people love how-to's... and they search for them every day on a very large scale. As an example, a friend of ours had this experience to share:

"Just a few days ago I was folding clothes, and on a whim I went to google videos and typed in "how to fold a shirt". Sure enough there were a few videos there. I watched them (and learned a very cool way to fold shirts), and it impressed the kids too."

She then told us, "So here's the thing. I'm not a professional shirt folder, I wasn't checking out the competition, I just did a search for something on a whim, and then I watched a few videos."

There's the key phrase - "ON A WHIM"

Internet marketers often find themselves with tunnel vision. They focus so intently on what they have to offer that they miss the big wide world, and what that world is doing while he or she is thinking exclusively about just their own website.

Tunnel vision... if you have it (and we all get it, don't worry), you need to learn how to "Think Outside the Box!"

Let's continue looking at the shirt folding scenario:

What if one of the shirt folding videos that was watched had had a url displaying your website? Well, for openers, you could have had a visitor (traffic) to your website. And, ideally, you may have had a buyer and long-term client. People are curious animals. If your video was creative enough, it most definitely can, and most likely will, generate a visit to your website.

The reality is that millions and millions of people are watching tons of videos every day on every topic you could ever possibly imagine.

That's worth repeating, "...on every topic you could ever possibly imagine."

So if you're thinking, "Shouldn't I create a video related to what I am selling?" the answer is.... sure, if you have that ability, go for it. But the truth is it doesn't matter if you do it on topic to the product you are selling or not.... the big thing is to make as many videos as you can about as many things as you can and post them to all of the top video feed sites.

The second most important thing to remember is that as you post them, keyword them to terms related to your video. Check sites like www.wordtracker.com and make sure the keywords you are allowed to enter in connection with your video are ones people are searching for! Keyword-driven, video-related quality traffic and buyers... make that your goal!

Also keep in mind that you aren't creating feature length films here. Your videos can be anywhere from 1 minute to 10-15 minutes or any length in between.

Quiet on the set... Cameras rolling... Action!

Why You Should Consider Pet Insurance For Your Family Pet

If you have ever wonder about the benefits of insuring your family pet, then you may want to consider the following pointers as to why you should consider pet insurance for your family pet:

1 in every 3 family pets will visit a vet this year for treatment

40 percent of all vet fees are caused by 'unforeseen' illnesses or accidents

less than 15 percent of family pets in the UK are covered by pet insurance

the average vet bill for care and attention needed following a road accident involving a cat or dog last year was circa. £750 - £1,000

2 out of every 3 pet owners in the UK have admitted to having gone overdrawn at some time during their lives in order to pay for their pet's vet bills.

All of these are fairly scary statistics. They're event more scary when you consider that will a simple family pet insurance policy, paying a minimum premium of somewhere between £25 and £75 (depending on the size of the pet), all of these are totally unnecessary.

If you want to get you pet insured and avoid any of these statistics happening to you, you can choose from:

Pet Accident Insurance

As the name suggests, with a pet accident insurance you are getting the basic minimum in pet insurance â€" accident coverage. Under this policy the insurance company will reimburse you for all costs and expenses you incur caused as a result of your pet having been involved in an accident (unfortunately, more often than not, this means a road accident).

Pet Accident and Illness Insurance

With pet accident and illness insurance you get full coverage insurance; namely, your insurance company will agree to pay for all the costs and expenses incurred as a result of your family pet having suffered any illness or accident.

Excess Amount

One thing you do need to keep in mind when arranging your family pet insurance is the excess amount. As with all insurance policies, the excess amount is the amount you and the insurance company agree you'll pay before you are entitled to claim against the insurance policy. While it is always a good idea to set an excess amount that would cover you for any mundane visits to the vet, so as to keep the premium down if nothing else, you don't want to se the excess too high that you end up having to pay for care and attention you thought would be covered by the pet insurance policy. It is, therefore, advisable that you have a look at some of your more recent vet bills and try and mind a medium between these sums so you have some idea of the excess before you set off arranging your family pet insurance.
