Deliver Quality, Value and Consistency
Deliver Quality, Value and Consistency
The production quality (audio and video quality) must be good, al least 720p for it to be considered “HD.”
The content must be consistent and relevant (for example, Hector only does videos about QuickBooks, Excel, or add-ons to those two programs).
Deliver Quality, Value and Consistency
Whenever you make a video you think has very good content, ASK your viewers to hit “LIKE” or “PUT COMMENTS BELOW.”
Deliver Quality, Value and Consistency
Videos with lots of likes and lots of comments are seen as “high relevancy” by Google, and will show up in the related videos section, driving more traffic from other videos.
Deliver Quality, Value and Consistency
Deliver quality, get views, get likes, have active comments, and you will get more viewers.

Using YouTube to Generate Leads
Using YouTube to Generate Leads
The 3rd most watched video in Hector’s Channel is “Importing Bank Data into Excel.” It has about 2,500 views per month and has generated many paying clients who initially e-mail asking questions about the process.
Using YouTube to Generate Leads
After the initial email, some decide to hire him to look at their Excel a n d Q u i c k B o o k s f i l e s a n d recommend the best approach for importing. Many of those continue to be repeat customers.
Using YouTube to Generate Leads
Hector says “The most important thing is my e-mail address is at the beginning and the end of the video. I do not say ‘e-mail me if you have any questions, I will help you for free’ so I leave it wide open. When an actual e-mail comes with the question, I then qualify it and try to help as much as possible if the questions are simple, otherwise I give my rate and recommend an appointment.”
Using YouTube to Generate Leads
ROI can be very high. Balance an hour of time to record and upload a video, versus $5000 or more in the lifetime value created from leads.
Solve Problems and Focus on Pain Points
Solve Problems and Focus on Pain Points
From Hector: “Think about this: QuickBooks has 5 million users, Excel has 20 million users. There are many people using software, and do not know what they are doing. I leverage that!”
Solve Problems and Focus on Pain Points
“Then I take the areas I am an expert in that cross those two markets, and make videos about that. Both showing off my skills and driving credibility as a technical expert.”
Solve Problems and Focus on Pain Points
“By teaching what you know, you get a clout of benevolence. People gravitate to that.”
