Internet Based Custom Video Players vs Free Video Sharing Sites Like UTube

Should I use an internet based custom video players .vs free video sharing sites like UTube, Google videos and Yahoo videos, is a question that many internet marketers are asking today.

I can tell you both of these video marketing methods have their place in your macro-marketing campaign. However, if you use either of them wrong, you will not be able to dominate your market niche.

According to global information provider ComScore online video viewing jumped 13% to 11.5 billion views (Press Release.)
However, what is more important than the number of views listed above is “how can I get some of those views on your website?” And the next question is “do I use video sharing sites such as YouTube or one of the other video sharing sites
popping up on a daily basis?”

First let me say the traffic on these sites is huge, and you could gain tremendous exposure by uploading your videos on these sites.

And let’s not forget another great advantage of these video sharing sites is the ease of which your videos can be shared and displayed on other blogs and social networking sites. Anyone can add a small piece of code (provided by the video sharing sites) to their website, blog or personal profile page.

However, what most internet marketers are doing is, uploading their videos to the sites, adding the embed code to their web sites, and then relying upon the free VS site to host and serve the video. While this is fine for personal use, when it comes to building your personal brand and controlling your advertising this is not smart for several reasons.

Here are five things you should realize before you rely on video sharing sites as your main video marketing channel.

1. Video Sharing Site Marketing

As you know, you can’t run a website for free, at least not for very long. And video sharing sites know this better than anyone. If they are going to offer you free services, they will need to sell advertising to stay in business, (well unless you’re UTube with daddy’s deep pockets). And the way they do this is by placing advertisements in, after and/or next to your videos.

In some cases they may share some of the ad dollars with you, but in most cases they won’t. And besides, what good is a little ad revenue, when the ads being displayed are more than likely coming from a competitor?

2. Uncontrolled Video Quality

Video sharing sites such as Google and YouTube, convert your video to the most compressed format possible in order to minimize bandwidth.

Compression in itself isn’t the issue; the issue is the video sharing sites are not concerned about the playback quality of your compressed video, all they care about it maximizing their overall profits. Even at the cost of the quality of your video presentation.

3. Free Marketing… For Them!

Embedding a video hosted at a video sharing site on to your websites, blogs or social networking profiles is the same turning over your friends and family to them to send spam too. This is the way they generate leads for those companies who pay them for lead generation. It is kind of funny. The video sharing sites get you to place their ads on your sites for free, and then they charge their clients BIG bucks to advertise on their sites.

Yes, I know they are providing you with free hosting for your videos. But is it worth it? I mean really how much can it cost to host your videos? Just how much bandwidth do you use?

And the biggest downside to this marketing scheme is the fact when someone clicks on an embedded YouTube player you have embedded on your site and it automatically takes you to the UTube site, and you loose full control of the marketing message.

Now, that prospect you have worked so hard to bring to your site, may be gone forever! You invest way too much time and money bringing traffic to your site just to watch it be stolen away from you.

4. Streaming, Downloading & Displaying Frustrations

Look we all know of the frustrations we have experienced ourselves when we want to watch a video on a video sharing site, so guess what your prospects are experiences as well?

And with the continued explosion of new video sharing sites, and the new viewers hitting sites like UTube, Google and Yahoo it is becoming increasing hard for these sites these to keep up with the heavy loads placed upon their servers. In the case of Yahoo if they are hosting a Victoria’s Secret virtual lingerie show, it could bring their whole video system down (like a few years ago), which is why we experience choppy, slow-loading or even non-loading videos.

And the worst part is when you do have an issue, you do not have a live person to talk with. Customer service, if it exists, is mostly provided by email exchanges.

5. Limited Control Over Display, Downloading & Streaming Features

Most video sharing sites don’t let you choose what is displayed in the first frame of the video player before it starts streaming. In several cases video sharing sites will use this for their own marketing purposes. And in the cases when the sites themselves are not using this frame, it is blank and causes your presentation to look unprofessional.

The whole purpose of placing videos on your sites is to get your visitors to watch the video and follow your Call To Action. When we created the customizable DeskPing video player, we did it with this same purpose in mind

Video sharing sites are powerful, revolutionary, and offer an excellent venue for helping you gain exposure for your business, but should never be used as your main video marketing channel. Only use these sites for hosting videos that cause curiosity and drives the viewer to your website to watch… The Rest Of The Story!

Tomorrow I am going to share how the DeskPing Customizable Video Player is the most turnkey video platform available today, and how this platform will increase your overall visitor conversion upwards to 377%.

Once you see for yourself the power of this do-it-yourself, turnkey video marketing solutions you will see why DeskPing is a far better solution than free video sharing sites.
