What types of videos should I make?

There are many types of videos you can produce for these sites. Think like your target audience … what would they like to know about your company? What would build their confidence in you and your company?

If you have general marketing videos or corporate branding videos, post those. In fact, any videos that you have for your business that are interesting or engaging should be posted. More is better in this case. Having more content will increase the chances that the audience will connect with you.

Other popular video types are product demonstrations, FAQ help, a tour of your facilities, new product teasers or a video catalog of your products with detailed product information. Also, you can show your human side and compassion by posting videos that show your company's community involvement, demonstrations of your expertise or talent, funny or entertaining events at your company or the process that you use to develop products.

What sites are there to post Videos on?

YouTube is the big player. They own 64% of the video marketplace. But, you still need to utilize all the Video post sites like FaceBook, Google Video, Yahoo Video, Metacafe etc.
