You should now be aware that using video’s has not only become popular, but it has become almost a standard. The use of video adds a personal interactive touch to your marketing presentations, video marketing will add more traffic and more sales to your business if the technique is properly used.

If you want to get traffic from the use of videos, it’s going to take a lot more than to just upload your video to you tube or something like that. You’re going to have to put together many parts of a system before you can get automated traffic coming to your website

Here are some tips for you to use:

A. Wide Distribution:

When some marketers use article marketing, some of them are happy with results from submitting to just the top 3 or top 10 article directories, however, with video marketing you must get your video to been seen by as many people as possible, and that means you will have to submit to as many sites as possible, not just Google and you tube.

There are other sites out as well, like Daily Moon, Reviver, I film, Hello World and Vimeo, lots of people have never heard of any of these other video sites.

There are also video channels on the social networking sites, places like MySpace, and Friendster.

All of those sites mentioned will give additional opportunities to get your video in front of a wide audience. You can also add your video to blog if you have one.

B. Cross- link between sites

With video being as popular as it has become, the chances are great that viewers that visited your video at one site will check out the other sites, where you have also posted your video’s.

Here’s an example: Maybe you have set up a video at friendster, well now you can use friendster to send traffic to to MySpace and boost your traffic there. All you have to do is use the appropriate sites and have the sites link to each other, when doing this be careful to pay attention to the guidelines of the sites you are using, as some sites will not allow certain links or other traffic building activities.

Here’s another method, maybe you have put up your video to your blog, you may want to think about submitting that URL to another social bookmarking site like diggs.com. Make sure that you also include links to all of the other video sites that you want to drive traffic to.

Now you might be asking yourself why would I want to send people to a site that they have already visited before? Well the whole point is this: when video’s are viewed they are usually voted on or rated, the more popular your video becomes the more viewers you attract will when new visitors visit those other websites.

C. Adding Incentive

It’s always a very good idea to give your visitors good reason to visit your website like a free report or something like that, your video’s should help do most of this work for you, however, there is always room for some improvement.

The same way you offer free reports or advice to get people to opt-in to you email list, you can use this method the same way with your video sites. Maybe you can tell them that you’ll have a code to use to access your traffic getting video’s, but only if they post your video on their websites first.

There are many different ways that you can build incentive, remember, the same way you approach normal or the traditional way of marketing you can use these methods to your video marketing also .
