When using YouTube for posting your videos, ensure you are utilizing the editing features that the site provides. Once you upload a video, you will be able to add some captions and annotations. This could be a great way to share a link, some additional information about the product you are demonstrating or even a coupon code.
If your marketing video is more than 20 minutes in duration, you might run into a challange. If you are demonstrating a certain product, feel free to use up to twenty minutes so you can show all its features. But, if you plan to just talk with viewers about a promotional sale or provide new information, your video ought not be longer than 10 minutes.
As you create and edit your marketing videos, pace yourself and do not focus exclusively on minor production details. High production values do not mean getting good returns back on your investment. Large corporations often use videos produced by their employees, rather than hiring actors and directors.

Just act natural and talk to your audience. You might not need to do even that much. Powerpoint presentations and screen capture sequences may be able to fit the bill.
Do not dismiss YouTube. This is where you should base your campaign from. They provide free video hosting. In addition, your videos will be on third most-visited website out there. YouTube is more than just a video sharing site, it is a huge resource for people searching for information on the web.
