Maybe you aren't going to be the star of your show, but you do need to find a good spokesperson or mascot to help market your videos. Try to find somebody that is natural when speaking and generally makes people around them feel comfortable. People want to watch somebody they feel that they can trust.
Be natural! The more fake or contrived you appear; the less likely viewers are to watch your whole video. If you can't read a script without sounding like a dork, then don't. Stick to who you are and represent yourself and your company and the video will turn out great.
Whenever anyone asks a question in the comments on your videos, consider if you can answer them in another video. If you think about it, you can come up with a humorous answer which provides them with the information they seek along with a fun video if others would like to watch, all the better!
If you are making a video about a new product, keep it simple and short. Not a single viewer is going to sit through a 10 or 15 minute video about your latest product.

Don't forget your SEO as you create your video! Include key words and phrases in the title and video. You can even use your website's keywords in the name you use on YouTube to further your SEO. You should also create a video sitemap for your site which Google can crawl.
Spending some money on a digital microphone is a great investment. It is easy to find a device that will capture your video with good clarity of picture. However, sounding well might not happen with the same device. Your authoritative and confident voice can do things no video picture ever will.
One of the tried and true techniques to video marketing is to use cliffhangers. They have been used in television from the very beginning and are always effective. This will keep your viewers engaged and have them anticipating your next video to answer the questions raised in the first video.

Use politics and celebrities or mimic the most popular ad on TV and see how fast your video takes off!
Hire a pro to film your videos if you have trouble with them. Poorly produced videos made at home are worse than having no videos. Try finding a local videographer that can create compelling storylines and has quality equipment. Be sure to see samples and ask for references. Don't just go to the cheapest place, but try to find an affordable one for your budget.
How-to videos are a great way to market a business. Create a complete video that contains all necessary information. There is nothing more annoying than a video that requires a purchase before releasing how-to information. If you are giving people a service, people will want to business with you.
