5 Things I’ve Learned About Marketing Videos on Social | Simply Measured | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it
Most social media marketers will tell you that video marketing is their priority in 2016. In 2014, global mobile video traffic grew by 55% and we can expect to see a similar statistics for 2015 as December wraps. Video marketing is no longer a "nice-to-have".

5 Video Apps to Boost Your Social Media Reach

5 Video Apps to Boost Your Social Media Reach | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

Do you want to increase your Social Media reach and make your message go viral? Are you tired of Facebook limiting the reach of your posts?


Video content is one of the best ways to increase your followers’ engagement on Social Media; and when engagement rises, your reach will also grow. The power of video as highly engaging content is the reason why most Social Media platforms are implementing new video products: video ads on Facebook,animated gifs on Twitter, the launch of Hyperlapse for Instagram, etc…


However, if you just create the same type of videos as everyone else, chances are, your followers will also ignore these posts. Users pay more attention to content that is unusual and unique. Posting another video is not enough. It needs to be different from what others are doing.


In this article, I will describe some apps for smartphones that will allow you to create outstanding and unique videos that will surely increase your engagement by making your videos stand out of the mass....

How Creating an Emotional Response Helps Drive Action With Video

How Creating an Emotional Response Helps Drive Action With Video | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

After watching your videos, your audience should feel something. You don't need to be controversial, but you do need to elicit emotion to inspire your viewers into action....


While some content lends itself to emotion more easily than others (a whiteboard video might not be “emotional” in the traditional sense), your content is far more likely to inspire downloads, trials, demos, etc. if it elicits a powerful response fuelling your prospects’ follow through.


And remember, at the end of the day, “emotional” or inspiring content is simply stuff that makes you feel something. It doesn’t really matter if your audience is laughing or crying at the end of your video, but they better be feeling something or you’ll be easily forgotten or skipped over. Ultimately, if your on-screen personas, comedy, or message gets people to like the implied character of your brand, you’ve got the right idea....

Text-to-video startup Guide relaunches to help online news publishers add videos to their sites

Text-to-video startup Guide relaunches to help online news publishers add videos to their sites | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

Newsreader app Guide is no more… well, at least in its current form.


The company that once aimed to help consumers better digest the news with a video channel of websites read by its lovable avatars has been reborn as a service for publishers. It’s still focused on the news, but has evolved into a platform that provides online sites with inexpensive quality videos, which may have been originally thought of as being too far out of reach. The new service launches today.


What publishers receive from the reborn Guide is technology that will turn any news article, like the one you’re reading now, into a video. The company says that its process will “auto-generate” multimedia videos in a way that is “inexpensive, fast, and at scale.” Prior to launch, the service had already been in use on 270 sites. Guide claims that the average click to play rate was 19 percent, while the average completion rate was 47.8 percent.


Guide intends to monetize its service through standard fees for voice-over work and advertising inserted into videos placed on a publisher’s website. In addition, it will license its technology through a SaaS offering where publishers can pay per video and on a CPM rate....

Complete Guide to YouTube Content Marketing

Complete Guide to YouTube Content Marketing | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

Do you know who Smosh, PewDiePie or Michelle Phan are? No? They’re YouTube stars and are more popular among teens than mainstream celebs, according to Variety .


There are 1 billion people using YouTube and 6 billion hours of video watched every month on YouTube. We all talk about how video is the future (or present) of content marketing. Yet, marketers seem to shun video platforms, other than for viral videos. There's a huge amount of blog posts on topics related to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. You hardly ever come across one on YouTube.


In other words, here is a massive opportunity to leverage your content on a platform that is highly underused by other content marketers, and to get ahead of the crowd while you're at it.


Plus, your YouTube content affects your Google rank. Read on to learn all the tweaks for dominating your YouTube niche....

How To: Create YouTube Text Overlays for Clickable Calls to Action | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

YouTube has become more important for advertising -- and it can be powerful if you learn to add a clickable call to action to your video. Find out how.


Every day, advertising is becoming more and more interactive. People want to feel that the product or service they’re interested in is speaking to them on a personal level. Marketers are not blind to this phenomenon, and in the last few years we have seen a tremendous push towards YouTube as a viable ad platform. Customized videos that speak directly to the consumer about the company’s brand, product, service, or ethos have become more and more valuable in the advertising ecosphere.This shift towards video marketing is only becoming more viable for many clients.
