But, there's more than just making and submitting a video. In this article I take a look at some of the factors that can help make a web video go viral.</p> <p>A viral event happens when a product receives publicity naturally through online word-of- mouth. But, there's a difference between viral and word-of-mouth. Viral is exponential; a user will tell 5 to 10 others and each one of those users will tell 5 to 10 more. Word-of-mouth is simply telling 5 to 10 others who may or may not pass the information on—a much slower process. </p> <p>For a business, the time factor is even more critical. That's why social media sites and your web videos can combine into a powerful marketing duo.</p> <p>Social media websites like FaceBook and Digg, and video sites like YouTube fuels the viral movement. Web videos in particular can gain massive popularity and be viewed by millions of users in a short period of time.</p> <p>Below are a few basic techniques to help you create your own viral web videos.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43265-cook-up-a-viral-video">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38621-we-re-going-to-a-party-party 2008-07-24T12:49:03Z mikegravel <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i_oKfp6QdCk&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i_oKfp6QdCk&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/38621-we-re-going-to-a-party-party"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/43609" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Happy Birthday Mike!</p> <p>Send the Senator a present: <br />http://www.gravel2008.us/donate_now</p> <p>Music Credit: <br />The Beatles <br />Birthday</p> <p>Video by: <br />Jon Kraus & Skyler McKinley</p> <p>http://www.gravel2008.us</p> </div> <a href="/blog/38621-we-re-going-to-a-party-party">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38465-dog-poop-surprise 2008-07-24T12:32:03Z Grandma Crabby <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TIXFNNgLSZM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/TIXFNNgLSZM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/38465-dog-poop-surprise"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/43432" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>What miracle surprise awaits Grandma Crabby?

This site will make it easier for progressive voices to be heard.<br /><br />My campaign has embraced the use of internet video to provide all Americans with access to the Dodd campaign, particularly those who don&#39;t live in the early primary and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. Internet video allows my message to get past the mainstream media filters and the boundaries of distance so everyone can hear me talk about my vision for America.<br /><br />Every campaign stop is broadcast live through <a href="http://ustream.tv/SenatorDodd">Ustream</a> or posted to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=SenatorDodd">YouTube</a>. We also <a href="http://chrisdodd.com/dtv">stream live</a> from my campaign headquarters in Washington, DC every day on <a href="http://chrisdodd.com/dtv">D-TV</a>, the multi-channel window into the campaign that serves to involve supporters around the country in the political process. We&#39;ve done live video web chats on <a href="http://www.firedoglake.com/2007/05/30/live-vlog-with-chris-dodd/">FireDogLake</a>, <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/6/20/154322/260">DailyKos</a>, <a href="http://mydd.com/story/2007/5/16/94459/5620">MyDD</a>, and many other blogs around the net. Quite simply, we&#39;re offering the most open and expansive Internet video strategy in the presidential race.<br /><br />I&#39;m really looking forward to seeing how Robert, Cliff and all the contributors to Brave New Films&#39; new site evolve the use of online video to make politics more transparent, make wrong-doers more accountable, and make it easier for Americans to engage in the civic process. Keep up your great work!</p> </div>
