Who is this post for?

If you’re looking for measurable, regular leads without investing too much time and effort.  Video is your option.  This post is for anyone that wants more leads and wants to close more deals, but has never used video before

Objective

I want to talk to you today about 3 unexpected lead generating results of using video.  So what are we talking about? The problem is that your businesses needs to generate more leads through your website. Otherwise it just sits there costing you money. You wouldn’t allow the same behaviour from your sales person, so why do you allow it from your website?

Using video on your website, either in blogs, landing pages, feature pages or even later in the sales cycle, drastically increases your chance to generate high quality leads, and close them.

The most common myth that I come across is that videos online need to either be super highly produced, or you need to be an internet celebrity to see results. This just isn’t true and I want to tell you how.

1. Video CAN be your blog. And customers LOVE blogs.

A blog is very basically, a way for you and your business to demonstrate that you know what you’re talking about. Simple as that.

The average person watches 182 videos a MONTH. B2B businesses that use blogs generate up to 62% more leads than those who don’t.

Don’t I need a video production team?

You do not need professional video production, I’m just using a digital camera and a free piece of publishing software.

Also, customers are more likely to TRUST a brand that uses video. And if you use a piece of kit like Me!Box (the player you’re viewing now), you can even direct people to their next call to action.

2. Google loves video.

The big one, everyone’s favourite search engine.

Put simply, Google ranks your site in their index. This means they need to know what content you’re all about to rank you for relative search terms.

For example, a car dealership that talks about red Ferraris on their website all the time, especially if they produce a couple of videos on red Ferraris, is more likely to appear higher up a search ranking for the term, red Ferrari.

Why does Google love videos?

We all know about YouTube, but the reason I use Me!Box is because all the information you can see in the text boxes to the right, is collected by Google and other search engines.

You’re literally providing video content, which Google loves as a medium AND the search terms and content that Google needs to collect to define what your video is about.

Basically, your website is more likely to rank for search terms that you want. If you use a video player like Me!Box.

3. You can generate HIGHER quality leads with video.

What do we mean by higher quality? If you sell red Ferraris, you need to know that your leads have the budget AND the inclination to buy.

Most lead generating activities will produce a list of names. Most of which are useless. They’re duplicates, they don’t have the budget or they have no desire to buy.

Video lets you weed out the less valuable leads. It delivers leads that are closer to buying AND you can qualify the leads all before you even engage with them.

A video player like Me!Box for example delivers analytics and video user data that lets you know who’s been watching.

We can also use calls to action inside the video, like this one, where you can direct users to give you their email address.

In conclusion, video lets your business-

• Generate more and higher quality leads.
• Climb Google’s search rankings
• Save time while generating MORE leads from your website
