A Business of One's Own

Viki Viertel Says to Power Up Your Visability with Viral Video

Do what comes naturally, what you have passion for. Viki Viertel is proof of the wisdom of that advice. She’s always been a techno geek, but she’s come into her own with the explosion of video.

Viki was my guest during the first annual Women’s Business Launch SUCCESS Telesummit. Five tracks (Know Yourself, Selling Your Values, Business Basics, Building Support Teams, and Online/Offline Promotion Strategies) provided valuable advice, tools, and shortcuts for planning for success and profits from the start.

Marketing has become viral in every medium – word of mouth rules and determines whether you are part of the business and cultural conversation or not. To capture attention you need to be entertaining and fast.

“Video specifically is a way to take in information is a passive way,” says Viertel. “Entertainment is the key.”

Planning is required to do this well. You must think about:

1. Emotion. Sound is a powerful tool in conveying emotion.
2. Message. You must speak directly to the interests of the viewer.
3. Imagery. How to tell your story using pictures as much if not more than words.

Viki gave us lots of technical advice for producing high-quality video, ideas about where to use video, including YouTube, on our websites and blogs, posted to other video directories, and encouraged us to use our creativity and to be authentic. My two favorite caveats!

The best part of getting viral video working on your behalf is to get your tribe wanting to head on back to your neighborhood… your website homepage.

What did you think of Viki’s advice? Have you ever posted a video to YouTube? Are you using video on your business site yet?
