Use the Power of Online Video to Your Advantage

YouTube now gets over 3 billion video views every day. The power of online video is unmatched and still growing by leaps and bounds. People love watching videos for entertainment, insight and instruction. And virtually anyone can make a video and upload it to YouTube.

Best of all, you don’t need professional equipment, expert video editing skills or expensive specialized software. Many a successful web video has been shot with someone’s iPhone and uploaded straight to YouTube.

You don’t need a fancy script or storyboard. You don’t need to be super-confident in front of the camera, either. Most video viewers are quite forgiving. Just make a good point and deliver interesting content that your patients and prospective new patients can use and enjoy.

Don’t make the mistake of believing that your online video has to be slick and professionally scripted and produced like some TV commercials. In fact, most viewers will not look favorably at something that comes off looking and sounding too slick and commercial. According to survey after survey, today’s consumers distrust commercials. What they do trust is the advice of “friends” and acquaintances.
