We have all witnessed the prevalence of online video reach unprecedented levels in recent years. Online video has become so powerful that it is now the cornerstone of any good internet marketing campaign. At the core of the popularity of online video is of course YouTube. Since 2005 YouTube has become a dominant force in online video viewing and was acquired by Google as a result. The sheer power of online video marketing is something that many have reaped the benefits of in recent years.

Less than a month after its fifth birthday, YouTube has announced that it has exceeded two billion video views per day.

The announcement from the Google owned video website comes as part of a larger initiative that the company is launching today to retell the history behind YouTube and its growth. Part of that campaign is the launch of “My YouTube Story” and the related YouTube 5 Year Channel.

Here are some great tidbits from the Harvard Business Review.

More and more companies are introducing social networking tools to help employees connect. However, these should not be considered “work versions” of Facebook or Twitter. These platforms are intended to support your work, not give you a place to post pictures of your poodle. Here are three ways to make good use of these tools to advance your work:

1. Narrate your work. Talk about your current projects: where you are, what you’re struggling with, and what you’re producing. This will help others who may be doing similar work find you.
2. Ask questions. There is often collective wisdom out there. If you’re stuck, ask the crowd to help you out.
3. Talk about social stuff. If your company softball team won last night’s game, put it out there. Socializing is an important part of work and these tools are perfect for supporting it. You may want to dedicate a specific part of the platform to socializing, however, so people can avoid it if they want to.

Craig Engler is the general manager and senior vice president of Syfy Digital. He’d love to talk you about TV or Syfy, answer your questions and hear about what you had for lunch. You can look him up on Twitter at @syfy.

I tried using Twitter three separate times before I figured out how truly useful it can be. The first time was early on, when no one I knew was using it, and I had no idea what I was doing. I tried searching for friends and followed a few random feeds and thought, “Meh, what’s this possibly good for?”

My second jump into Twitter was after the initial big wave of hype hit. I decided I should rejoin to figure out what I missed the first time. This time around, I found that Twitter was flooded with people randomly talking about their day (and their meals — people really do love to talk about food on Twitter) and again I thought, this is definitely not for me.

The last time, and the one that clinched the deal for me, was almost by accident. I wanted to see what people were saying about the finale of our hit series, Battlestar Galactica. I was looking at Facebook and on our own Syfy message boards, and the feedback wasn’t keeping up with the pace of the show. I wanted to see instant, real-time reactions. So I wandered over to Twitter.

Ah… The sweet smell of success! I Googled (one of the most popular verbs in the English language these days) “black card” and you’d think that since this is our company name, we’d rank but I tell you we’ve had a heck of time ranking on Google. Why? Because when we selected our company name, we like the prestigious conotations with Black Card and our services are not meant for everyone nor can just anyone purchase them so this was fitting for us. What we did NOT consider was the competition on Google for this key word.

152,000,000 (that’s million) is a lot of competition and with every credit card company out there having their very own “black card” you can bet we were up against some of the big boys like American Express, Visa, MasterCard and many other companies that are REALLY GOOD at branding and have DEEP POCKETS.

I forgot to mention another little competitor… you might know them as WIKIPEDIA!

But never fear, a David Vs. Goliath type of battle is always fun to watch and even better when David wins. In this case, we’re winning! I checked today and we’re now on the first page of Google for the keyword “black card” and soon enough we’ll be ranking at the top (not sure we’ll out rank WIKIPEDIA)!

How did we do it? Good question!

We’ve all seen a variety of different blogs and blog posts. The simple truth is that some are great and some just bore you to death. What’s the difference between a homerun post and a post that just fizzles out? Here are 6 tips for writing blog posts that will shine!

1. Offer Value: Blog posts are all about valuable and relevant content. Don’t use your blog post to push a sale onto the reader. Just offer them value in your blog post. If you offer them value first they will be open to hear your sales pitch later.

2. Stay Relevant: Mix it up with your blog posts. Talk about relevant issues and topics that you know your readers are interested in. Don’t talk about the exact same topic day in and day out. Variety is the spice of life! Try covering a entire spectrum of topics that your readers may be interested in.

3. Give Them More: Provide links to other valuable blogs, articles, and websites for your readers that relate to your post. Content is king and the more value your content has the better chance your blog post has to
succeed.

4. Picture Perfect: Always include a picture or two in your blog post. Nothing will turn people off faster than a big blank block of text. Throw in a few relevant pictures or screenshots of what you’re talking about.

I get this question all the time! Social networking is obviously hugely popular to build communities and connect friends and family but cannot it work for business?

More importantly does it work for any business or just “internet marketers”?

I did a little primary research over the last few weeks and found some stunning facts.

What does all this mean? Let me explain:

Pageviews and unique views are both self explanatory so don’t need to much detail there but you can see that if you can boost both those by 238 and 226 percent respectively over a two week period, imagine what you can do in six months or one year!

Pages/Visit: We increased this category by 27 percent which indicates people are viewing 27 percent more pages than they were two weeks ago which indicates they are more engaged by our content.

Time On Site: Another indicator that people are more engaged. They are spending 81 percent more time on our site browsing and reading.

New Visits: This is the category I really wanted to talk about. Given this decreased by 8.26 percent you would think this is negative but its not! Our pageviews are up (way up by 238 percent) and same with our unique views but our new visits are down?

We all know that Google rocks. Not just for finding things like; what to cook for dinner or movie listings. Google is arguably the most powerful and useful tool for your internet marketing needs. Its so powerful in fact that you are definitely going to want some help to get the most out of it and of course pull top rankings on Google searches. Here are 10 Google applications that you have probably never even heard about. You thought Google was great before?… wait until you get your hands on some of these apps!

See all 10 Google applications here: http://tinyurl.com/p74bsj

You can definitely make use of these apps to grow your business and online presence. But hey its very time consuming and it can get pretty complicated. Don’t forget, we’re always happy to Do It For You!
