Currently, one of the best and most wonderful ways to positively promote your company, your products, and save large investment costs that are not always effective and successful in the market, is by creating and posting videos on different platforms to target potential customers.
Previously, we expected a certain amount of customers to buy the product; making this very expensive and impractical, because not everybody is really interested in your product, only a select group of people.
Today, we select our ideal client because we choose the type of people to whom we want to have access through paid advertising. It can be defined by sex, age, country, socio-economic status, culture, marital status, if they have children, etc.
It is important, before creating your video, to locate those that are eager to learn about your business. We accomplish this through what is called Hot Topic Research.
The Internet makes it very easy to find specific tools to help you create your video, and to know how well they perform.
Social Networks and Keyword Tools are among the most commonly used tools.
