In December I got a copy of Camtasia Studio 3 when Techsmith offered it for free for a limited time. Of course I had to play with this new software as soon as I could and I started to make some screen capture videos of my Internet marketing activities.

I found that the videos were fun and easy to make but I also learned that they are highly effective marketing tools.

Which got me to thinking about the reasons I think web video marketing is the wave of the future online and why the next generation of gurus will be web video gurus.

1. Web video marketing makes a personal connection

When people hear your voice and see you they get a stronger connection to you and feel that they know you. After watching Dave Guindon’s videos, for example, I feel like I know the guy and we could go have a drink at a local bar. And hey maybe he and I’ll hang out if I ever visit his hometown.

That personal connection builds trust and if your information is good this makes you an expert in your viewers mind.

2. You can show instead of tell

Many people like to be shown what to do instead of just told. And it’s so much easier to watch something than to have to imagine it.

That’s why TV has always been more popular than books. People prefer to watch their entertainment, education or news.

With web video you can finally give people what they’ve been asking for. Your viewers can actually watch someone upload a site to an FTP server and learn that way instead of following a boring set of written instructions. You can now show someone your newest traffic pulling strategy instead of just explaining it.

Sometimes when people see something done, it all of a sudden feels a lot easier to do. When that happens they’ll thank you for it and want to learn more from you.

3. You can show your proof

One of the things I love about marketing with web video is that you can actually show your proof live. A few weeks ago I got a web video ranked in Google’s top ten for an important keyword.

I just had to do a screen capture of it and a tutorial on how I did it right away. Why? So I could show viewers that I had that ranking on the video.

I just searched under the term I was ranked for and captured the whole thing on video. This proved that I was telling the truth but was also fun to watch. In an article you can only tell them what you did and do a small screen shot as evidence. It still works but it’s not nearly as exciting.

4. Google loves web video and will rank recent videos on the first page even for competitive keywords

People were impressed that I could get a top 10 ranking in Google for the competitive keywords “web video marketing” in less than 24 hours.

I was able to do this for two reasons. A) These video websites have high page rank and B) Google spiders them constantly because thousands of videos are added to these websites every hour.

So when you post a video Google finds out about it within minutes and lists your video immediately.

5. People are still impressed by the simple and easy editing tricks you can do with web video like fade out transitions, and adding cool music and other effects

Because most people have no idea how easy it is to create web marketing videos they are still impressed by simple editing tricks.

You can learn them in just a few hours and be ready to create your own impressive web videos. One ebook that teaches some of these tricks can be found at www.tubetrafficmethod.com

In this video I give three free tips I’ve learned to increase the amount of web traffic I get from Youtube and other web video marketing websites.

In the old days, I remember that it took months to get listed in Google and the other major search engines like and Yahoo and MSN (and when I say old days I mean 2 or 3 years ago). 

Everyone used to say, just submit to the search engines, get sites to link to yours, just wait and a few months and your site will get listed in Google… eventually.

 Well, that’s the way it used to be.

But now there are faster ways to get listed in Google.

Just a few days ago, I set up a new website www.nlpvid.com. 

Of course when I set it up it had no traffic and of course no listing in Google.

To get the site listed, I decided to take one page of my new site and post it on www.digg.com.

You can find the post by clicking here.

About 30 minutes or so later I checked google to see if my site nlpvid.com was listed.

Of course it wasn’t.

But that post in digg.com was already listed in Google.

I posting several other pages to digg.com as well and they all got listed in Google in minutes.

Then when I checked 19 hours later I found my site by doing a search on “nlpvid.com”.

Then a day later my site was #4 in Google for my main keyword “nlp vide0″.

This technique is the simplest and fastest way to get a site listed in Google that I have found so far.

Try it yourself and let me know how fast you get results.
