    1. Set Your Video Marketing Goals

Before you launch a video marketing campaign you’ve got to set goals. Every marketing activity that you engage in going forward should align clearly with the goals and expectations that you set in the beginning while planning your campaign.

Some common goals for marketing with online video include:

– Increasing brand awareness

– Driving more engagement

– Converting more sales

– Generating more traffic

– Reducing bounce rate

– Boosting SERPs Rankings

Identify and clarify the top goals that you intend to focus your marketing efforts on and then begin strategizing areas of interest and campaign steps that will help you succeed with your goals.

    2.  Define Target Audience

Next you’re going to define your target audience. This is where you’ll need to perform market research, analyze your current customer base, and otherwise make key determinations as to who you will target with your campaigns when marketing with online video.

Make sure you’re targeting the appropriate market and that you’re planning your campaign around audience insights that apply to this niche.

    3. Define Video Marketing Content

Now you’re ready to produce videos that you will use in your campaign to promote your business to your target audience. As you define video marketing content for your audience make sure that you are using appropriate video production process steps that include:

– Pre-production planning.

– Production.

– Post-production editing.

– Distribution.

– Analytics.

Keep in mind your goals, and how each video you craft will align with your goals and will target the appropriate audience to connect on their level.

    4. Measuring Success

Marketing with online video is not complete until you’ve quantified your results and measured your success. How will you measure success? That depends on the goals that you set early on when creating your campaign. You should have key performance indicators or KPIs in mind as you set your goals.

For example, if you want to drive more traffic, a key indicator of success would be higher traffic to your landing page following the addition of your campaign launch when you began marketing with online video.
