Publicity Stunts are designed to attract the public’s attention to a particular event or cause, and in many cases are set up by professional publicity and marketing companies to coincide with the release of a new product or service, or to raise the profile of a celebrity, athlete or politician.

Publicity stunts are designed to be newsworthy, in order to get the best media coverage possible, and tend to be quirky or even down right outrageous, and some of the very best stunts in history have been collected together on the website of Taylor Herring, who are one an award winning public relations company.

These stunts include the amazing ‘Hands across America’, which took place back in 1986, and involved 7 million people joining hands across 16 different states (including then president Ronald Regan), to form a line that reached over 4,150 miles. This publicity stunt was designed to raise awareness for the desperate plight of the many thousands of homeless and poverty stricken people across American and all participants were supposed to have paid $10 in order to get their place in the line, although only $20 million was actually raised.

Despite the fact Hands across America fell short on its intended fund raising it was an extremely high profile event and one of the most impressive publicity stunts of all time, and still to this day continues to raise awareness for homeless causes.;)

When it comes to marketing your affiliate offers or products, video marketing has become the new way to promote anything and everything. With tons of new video networks joining the internet daily, the amount of viewership your offers can receive is countless. Most people are no strangers to the world of YouTube since it’s the most watched video sharing website on the net. With a gripping video, all you need to do is upload the video onto any video platform and you’re on your way.

The question that needs to be answered regarding video is this: How do I get enough viewership to these offers to generate a profit? There are several tips when it comes to creating your video for the correct amount of promotion.

Here are your video marketing tips:

Video length is important: You want to have your videos be around 2-3 minutes since most viewers don’t concentrate on videos much longer than that. If you have an advertisement based video then make it around 15-30 seconds. The attention span of your audience should last at these time limits.

Content is the key: An attractive video is nothing if it’s not quality rich content. If you can offer answers to people’s concerns and questions you should be able to gain their trust. People love step-by-step tutorials.

Do research on videos in your niche: You’re going to need to watch videos in the same niche. See what your competition is doing in order to capture the audience’s attention.

Look for these key elements in the video:

• What products or service are they advertising?
• How many viewers have seen the video?
• How many comments have been made about the video?
• Is the product/service website they’re promoting appealing?

Note: These same questions should be applied to the video you submit.
