The most successful marketing videos will feel like an unprompted conversation. However, the difference between a good video and a superior video is just two things – the opening and the closing. Start with a greeting, introduce yourself and give the name of your business. If you provide a service to a particular niche, share that as well.

​How you end your video is also very important. This is another chance to tell your viewers your business name and you need a call to action that will get the reaction you want from your viewers. For example, ‘click here to sign up for our newsletter,’ or ‘visit our website for more information,’ or 'Schedule a 30-minute discovery session to...'

Do something that is unexpected. Surprise your viewers and make sure you keep it fun. If you are creating a behind the scenes video, you can spruce things up by sharing something relatable and fun with your viewers.  Another example, would be to include text and animation to your video.  Animoto is an excellent source for business women to use to create videos, quickly. 

​This service is an excellent resource that can help you take your marketing video to an entirely new level. When you are putting together your online marketing video don’t be afraid to think outside the box and see what you can do to keep your visitors liking and sharing your video.

There you have it – these are three simple and great ways to get people to like your online marketing video and share it with others. Make the most of this powerful tool!

When you market online, time management is key. Whether you’re marketing a website, service or selling products for yourself or others your ability to work and manage your time is directly related to your income earnings. The more interest you generate, the more return on your investment (ROI) you’ll see.

Before you begin working, take the time to brainstorm and develop of list of the internet marketing tasks that will help your customers notice your brand and reach your desired business goals. Decide which tasks are most effective and make a quick list of them. 

Think carefully about what you would like to market and list tasks like: 

- Update  website or blog 
- Submit to article directories 
- Buy advertisement on similar websites 

After you have finished brainstorming your internet marketing task and written them down. Now it is time to prioritize your list of tasks. Next, you’ll want to create a to-do list or a detailed schedule.

​To get started, prioritize. If working for yourself, as opposed to a client, you have more freedom. It’s best to start with the tasks you know will work. For example, will submitting articles to article directories be more effective in your case than using Twitter to generate traffic to a website. 

When creating your schedule, use blocks of time to maximize your productivity. For example, 9am to 10am can be used for writing and submitting an article to the article directories. This gives you one hour to do the task. Yes, setting a time limit does apply pressure, but a time limit can also serve as a source of motivation.

Do this with each of the internet marketing tasks you added to your priority list that need to get accomplished.  One thing to note also is to be reasonable about setting your limits. The goal is to make them achievable, not to overwork or overwhelm yourself and create undo stress. That will only slow down your marketing progress. 

Have you ever experienced those days when you failed to organize the things you needed to do in your business that day and at the end of the day got little to nothing done?  Well, the fact is, when you’re unorganized you get less done. So, to improve and maximize the use of your time, get organized. Preparing your work area is one simple task that can help you get the clarity and motivation you need to work through your marketing tasks for the day.  So, Make sure you’re working in a clean and professional environment, even if you are working from a laptop at your kitchen table.

Outsourcing isn’t always an option when it comes to internet marketing, as it does cost money. With that said, if there comes a time where you fall behind or feel overwhelmed then you should consider outsourcing some of your tasks. Here are 25 tasks you can outsource to grow your business. Outsourced projects don’t have to be large or super expensive. If you hired a writer to write a series of blog posts for you for  a month, you’ll be leveraging your time so that you can get more done.   

The biggest time waster when it comes to marketing your business online is the internet itself. Yes, this seems ironic, but it’s true. How many times have you sat down to do your online marketing tasks and end up getting distracted by the other millions of things to do on the computer and online. Therefore, it’s easy to get distracted and waste time. So, set rules for yourself. 

For example, you can make an agreement with yourself to not check your email or chatting with   friends on Facebook while you’re working on the marketing tasks for your business. The internet is a great source of entertainment, but not when you should be working on marketing your business so that you can increase your visibility and profits.
