Today I am going to give video marketers an idea on how
you can gain traffic to your blog or website fast
though tapping into the power of an influential person.
The concept is pretty much the same as professional cyclists,
and runners use to leverage the power of others
A cyclist will often sit back behind a leader in a race
using their slipstream to go the same speed with less effort.
I am going to show you how to use this same technique
with your video SEO marketing.
As we all know -- SEO is about 2 things primarily:
1) Relevant content to a user's search
2) Links to that content, which implies trust to the search engines.
This strategy that I am about to share with you
will show you how to easily leverage both of these.
First of all you need to find your target leader;
an influential person in your industry -- this may be a journalist.
A blogger or a well-known speaker.
It does not matter exactly who they are,
just that they have influence and are listened to and respected.
Now, when you spot a piece of news or a theory
that they have come up with or perhaps a new piece of technology
that is of interest to your market then there is an opportunity
for you to slipstream this news.
For example if a thought leader announces a theory they have
and you believe strongly that it has legs then why not try it out
and then be ready to make a video covering your experiment.
Once the experiment is over then you have a story to tell
to that influential person and other influential people in the industry.
Send them a simple email telling them that you tried out their theory
and got so and so results and offer to give them more detail if
they are interested to hear about it.
They will more than likely respond.
Why? Firstly, it is a compliment to them that you took the time
to try out the theory and secondly you have helped them
verify their theory with a live case study --
they are going to want to back up their theory with proof.
Once they get back to you then offer to do a video case study with them;
this will mean that both them and you will be promoting
your experiment and getting you a massive boost in your awareness
and stature in your industry
What if they do not respond to your email?
It is possible that they did not see your email
or perhaps they were too busy to respond.
However, this should not stop you from taking the opportunity
to get some publicity through your experiment.
Create a video explaining what you did and how
ensuring that it is closely tied to the influential persons theory.
You can then use social media to announce the news
and perhaps even a press release
ensure that you carefully mention the influential persons theory
and how you used it) as this will get you noticed by the influential person
as well as other journalists and thought leaders in the industry.
So you will have the page content with your video case study on it
and you will get social shares
as well as links from the influential thought leader
as well as hopefully news sites and blogs within your industry.
Try this out -- I would love to hear your feedback on this theory.
