Videos are among the hottest that you can do today when it comes to creating an internet marketing campaign. But if you have seen that video that I mentioned earlier, you would see that the production value, while not the same with the big budget production houses, is still quite more than the average person might be able to afford. Do you need to have the same budget to pull off something even a bit similar? Definitely not.

Creativity is a very important factor when it comes to creating catchy videos like the Old Spice viral video. That is because many YouTube viewers will like and share the videos that they have watched if they had great fun watching them, otherwise they would just forget and ignore them.

But let us be honest. There will always a certain level of advantage if you have a really good studio set up for your video production. It usually boils down to the quality of the camera, the lighting, the sound recorder, and the video editing software to be used. It is a fact of life that people with the right tools in their hands can truly create wonders.

Let as assume that you have already created your own primary video. But then what? Should you just post it on YouTube and then wait for the flood of viewers to come in? It does not always work that way, not unless you really have a very good and interesting video. If your video product is not as outstanding as many people might think, you can still make it go viral if you do your own promotion for it.

The best way to do it is through link building. And that is why keywords are also very important in video marketing. Your video's title, when you are going to post it on YouTube, should be keyword optimized including the description and the tags as well. These are basic search engine optimization that you should always cover. Then start building links to it.

You can also promote your video through using all the popular social media websites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, social bookmarking web sites, and also the many forums preferably those that are related to the topic of your video. This is a great way of doing a sort of word of mouth marketing. It is cheap and very easy to do.
