If you’re using ClickFunnels to generate leads for your\nbusiness, then YouTube is a tremendously powerful marketing channel to help\nspread the word about your stories, brand, and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because face it. Lead generation is never as easy as the\ngurus say. If you want to generate leads with content marketing, then you\nrequire grit, hustle, and even a little luck. That said, YouTube offers a big\nopportunity to help brand yourself, share fantastic content with your ideal\nprospects, and to promote your calls to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the things that amaze me the most about YouTube, is\nthat many novice marketers don’t fully realize just how powerful the platform\ncan be for their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just today I saw a (relatively) popular YouTuber with many\ntens of thousands of subscribers asking if anyone can give them a job. I was\nthinking, “Dude, you have a tremendous marketing asset sitting in your\nlap. Take advantage of that asset!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s why I’m passionate about writing this blog post.\nBecause if you’re a YouTuber, your YouTube channel offers enormous promotional\nleverage to help plug your marketing funnels. Whether you have an email\nnewsletter funnel, an email course, a free book, or a webinar, YouTube can help\nspread the word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a few notes before we begin. First, these methods can\nhelp even if you don’t have a marketing funnel up and running. You could always\npromote your blog, your email newsletter, or your website if you’re just\ngetting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, remember that content marketing never works unless you\nknow your end-user. Try your best to figure out the problems that your ideal\nprospect experiences, that way, it’s much easier to create oodles of fantastic\ncontent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rant aside, let’s take a deeper look into 5 cool ways to\npromote your lead magnet (or marketing funnel) using YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s take a much deeper dive into the psychology and\nmarketing strategy behind each of these YouTube promotional mechanisms, shall\nwe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The coolest thing about creating videos on YouTube is that\nyou can use this opportunity to brand yourself, your website, your blog, and\nanything that you choose. The more high-quality content that you create, the\nbetter off your YouTube channel will be over the long-haul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The even better part is that every video you create is\nanother opportunity to plug your lead magnet or marketing funnel URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the beginning of your YouTube video, you could briefly\nlet your audience know about your marketing funnel or lead magnet. You could\nsimply say something like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The following video is brought to you by my\nbrand new marketing newsletter that I’m giving away free. To gain access, visit\nMrComputerScience.com\/goodies so you can register for free.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another way to easily and gently plug your marketing funnel\nis to include a short call to action at the end of your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you promote your marketing funnel at the end of your\nvideo, there’s a good chance that fewer people will see your call to action.\nThat’s because not everyone is going to watch 100% of the video, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there’s good news. I honestly believe that the\nviewers who watch the video until the very end, are statistically more likely\nto enjoy your content. Therefore, these are the exact folks that you want to\ninvite to join your email newsletter or to snag the lead magnet that you’re\noffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, at the end of your video, you could recite a\nsimple call to action that says something like the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Thank you so much for watching my latest video!\nIf you want to get more marketing tips that rock, then register for my free\nemail newsletter by visiting MrComputerScience.com\/goodies. You also get a ton\nof marketing bonuses when you subscribe, so I hope to see you there!”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When marketers and small business owners talk about using\nYouTube for their business, most people think only about content marketing.\nBut, did you know that YouTube also has a robust advertising platform? You can\npay other end-users to watch your video advertisements for less marketing\nbudget than you think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have an existing YouTube channel with an audience,\nthen you have something that most marketers would crawl over a bed of hot coals\nto obtain! I’m talking about data as to the popularity of your videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You know exactly which of your videos gets the most views.\nYou know exactly what style of content your prospective viewers love to watch.\nMost people don’t have this data. If you already have a popular YouTube\nchannel, then you have an unfair advantage!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another huge advantage of YouTube advertising is that\nYouTube has nearly-endless amounts of advertising space to sell you. Even if\nyou’re in a relatively small niche market, there’s bound to be plenty of room\nso you can show your video advertisements to your ideal prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another huge marketing asset that a lot of YouTubers\noverlook is the description area for your videos. Not only does the description\narea contribute to your SEO strategy, but they also rock for plugging your\ncalls to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can gently insert a call to action within your YouTube\ndescription to help spread the word about your blogs, hero funnels, webinar\nfunnels, lead magnet funnels, or email newsletter funnels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, even advanced YouTubers neglect their description\ntext. I say take this opportunity to stand out! Take full advantage of this\nadded SEO opportunity and flesh out your descriptions with beautiful, SEO\noptimized text!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you loathe the idea of SEO, and if you don’t like to\nwrite, then try not to panic. These days, SEO tools make finding good keywords\nand SEO ideas elementary and straightforward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Try to use free\/cheap SEO tools like UberSuggest or Answer\nThe Public to help find effective keyword strategies that you can use to fill\nyour description area. UberSuggest also rocks for finding more topic ideas for\nfuture YouTube videos, which is ideal if you wish to create YouTube videos on\nthe regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the coolest features of creating a YouTube channel is\nyour channel links section. This is the area of your YouTube channel where\nyou’re allowed to publish and share a handful of your links. You can easily\npromote your blog, your website, your social media networks, or even your\nFacebook group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another thing that you can promote in this area, is your\nmarketing funnel! Promoting your marketing funnel in your channel link is the\neasiest thing in the world and the lowest hanging fruit possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember, that the YouTube listeners who love your content\nthe most are probably the same fans who will bother clicking on your channel in\nthe first place. Therefore, promoting your marketing funnel in your channel’s\nlink area is easily one of the smartest ways that you can promote your\nmarketing funnel on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think that it’s way too easy to overlook all the\nadvantages that modern entrepreneurs enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not too long ago, building an online following required an abundance\nof tech and marketing skills. On top of a monstrous marketing budget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n These days, everything is streamlined and simple. Tools like\nClickFunnels make launching an entire sales funnel rudimentarily simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n YouTube allows small entrepreneurs and small business owners\nlike us the chance to get our word out to the planet, without spending a penny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The even better part is that you can use your YouTube\ncontent to brand yourself, to tell stories, and to promote your email\nnewsletter all at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope that you had fun reading this content. You rock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As always, please never hesitate to drop me a line if you\nhave any questions. I’ve got your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Until then, please have a glorious day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike “The YouTube Strategy” DeVincent<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MrComputerScience.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you’re using ClickFunnels to generate leads for your business, then YouTube is a tremendously powerful marketing channel to help spread the word about your stories, brand, and content.
