Q: What is a good SEO that’s easy to use for video marketing?
A: SEO for video marketing can refer to utilizing video to drive SEO and traffic to your site or SEO for just your videos. Here are a few tips to help you achieve both.

Title and Description

Create a title that not only describes what your video offers, but uses the right keywords to drive people to your video. Google offers a Keyword Tool to help you figure out which words might be best to include in your title to attract more search visitors. Your title should be short and to the point, but your description can be longer and include more details about your video and you.

Tags

YouTube allows you to use tags to better classify your video on YouTube and take advantage of keywords. Once you have figured out your keywords in the step above, populate them into your tags. Be sure to use descriptive tags to ensure the right people are finding your video.

Sharing Your Video

Share your video as much as possible to get views on more sites than just the one it is hosted on. You can embed your video into blog posts, share it on social media or link to it in emails to drive more traffic.

Encourage Comments

Comments on videos are a form of interaction that visitors and search engines alike take note of. When you share you video, entice potential visitors and ask them to watch and share their opinions in the comments. You can even take advantage of your description space, asking viewers for their comments and questions.

Q: How quickly can I expect to get a return on my investment?
A: Each affiliate is different. It depends how many hours you put into it and your approach. It is a very small investment, so we encourage everyone to work hard and stick with it.

Q: Hi, is there a tutorial in how to build a Facebook/ GDI business page?
A: Thanks to your question, we’re in the process of creating a video tutorial for that now!

How do I make money?

GDI is an affiliate marketing program and you make income with GDI from referring other people to the affiliate opportunity, domain, and services. As a basic affiliate, GDI will pay you out $1 per month on each domain you help people register five levels down. We pay this out to you regardless if the people you sign up take advantage of the affiliate opportunity of just the domain. When someone you register does take advantage of the affiliate opportunity, not only will you get paid a dollar for the domains you helped register, but also for the domains they helped register, five levels down.

Four Reasons Everyone Should Have Their Own Domain Name

2 Comments

Some of you have come in contact with people who are interested in GDI, but do not want a domain name. To combat this problem, we shared a few tactics to work around it, but today we want to share the power of the domain. The next time someone doesn’t want a domain, share a few of these reasons why having your own, personal domain is so important.

Easy to Remember

Having a .WS domain gives you a chance to get a short, easy to remember domain name that represents you, your interests, or your brand. No matter what you want to do with your domain, a short name will be easy to remember and share. Unlike .COMs or services like tumblr, Facebook, and Google+, a personalized site doesn’t have to be a long name with numbers and letters. It can be whatever you want with a .WS. Easy remember domain names, like those GDI offers you, means more hits and more repeat visitors.

Easy to Find

As people search for you and your site, the right domain name can mean a higher search results. When you take the time to brand yourself and create the right domain name for your business, search engines respond. This domain is more likely to come up on a search engine than a Facebook page with no user name.

Safe Keeping

Maybe you don’t have a plan for your domain just yet, but someday you will. Securing your own domain name ensures that your brand and your name are protected from someone else snatching it up. Building a brand and a business is much easier when you are able to secure a straight forward logical domain name as opposed to having to get creative because your first choice domain name is always taken.

Credibility

Having your own site builds credibility and shows visitors you take your site and your business seriously. Think of all the websites you visit in a day, which do you trust?
