Your script should appeal to your prospects' and customers' emotions, wants and needs, it should include the benefits of using your product and service and lots of examples. Keep your videos on point, keep them short and, most of all, entertain your audience for best results.

Step 7: Optimize Your Videos  

Use your keywords in the title and the video description so that the search engines know exactly where to rank the videos you create. Make sure you also add tags on the individual video sharing platform so that they, too, know where to rank your videos for others to watch them. 

Step 8: Share Your Videos  

Once your videos are created and published, start sharing them with your email marketing audience, your social marketing audience and any other captive audience you might have. Your videos won't be effective until they are viewed hundreds and thousands of times. So get the word out there anyway you can ensure your marketing success.
