Classified Postings

We have found that these 12 tips can make the difference between good and no results when submitting to online video ads.

Your video will be seen, but will it attract a potential customer. Follow these simple rules and watch what happens...

tip #1: shorter is better this time
Short, exact videos work better. We have provided sections for longer length videos, but that does not mean you need to place more content. All fields must be completed when building a video.

tip #2: the real information is at your website or storefront location.
Your goal should only be to get the potential client to your storefront for more information. Keep this in mind when writing your video description.

tip #3: a call to action
Use action words (i.e. now, amazing, attractive, confidential, limited.). These words call the potential client to do something.

tip #4: a unique appearance
Find a way to make your product appear unique.

tip #5: spark an interest
Spark an interest or curiosity within your advertisement. Ask yourself “Would this video attract me?” Be honest with yourself. Use the title text to grab the viewer's interest.

tip #6: product saturation
You more than likely will not achieve good advertising results from a product that is already saturated on the Internet, or a product that is so obscure that it has no perceived value. People want to see benefits and value. Video gives you a chance to demonstrate value.

tip #7: these classified ads rotate
Online classifieds are different. The Ads on classified sites rotate. If you want to keep your Ad near the top, you must post your video regularly, you only have one chance to grab the customer's attention. There is so much information available on the web, you must strike and strike hard to get the customer. You will have about 30 seconds to grab the reader's attention.

tip #8: no spamming
Posting the same Ad over and over and over in a row is called "SPAMMING". Spamming will get your Ads banned from sites. In addition, our research has shown that clients that see the same Ad many times in a row do not respond. No one likes a “Spammer”.

tip #9: determine what is working
Track and monitor your results. This is critical. If your video does not attract results, change the video with your next posting to one that will track. You need to Figure out the video Ads that work for your product.. Your frame of mind should be to learn through trial and error. Every product is different.

tip #10: don't sell me here
DO NOT try to sell your customer on your product directly through the video. Use other sources, like your website, store or personal contact to do the selling.

tip #11: hype doesn't sell
DO NOT try to make your product appear to good to be true. Leave out the hype. The Internet has grown and hype does not sell to real customers anymore. Just state the real facts, but add a little sizzle.

tip #12: use a schedule
DO NOT under estimate the power of having a schedule. Post the same video ads every 5-7 days. No more, or less. This keeps your ads in front of potential customers and avoids spamming.
