Big Social Mistakes with YouTubeNot being genuineNot being transparentNot listeningNot engaging personallyNot looking for feedbackNot having a response planDoing what everyone else is doing, rather asking what your own customers would like to see.More concerned with trying to impress than actually be helpful.
How to tell if your company suffers from Viral Video Mentality (VVM)A chronic compulsion to ask speakers at marketing conferences, How do I make a viral video?A failure to demonstrate an understanding of, or point to a direct relationship with, actual business objectives. Always swinging for the fences instead of looking for many singles and doubles.
(E.g., an over-reliance on views or top-of-funnel social metrics.)

YouTubes business model is like a casino
YouTubes business model is primarily based on advertising. That means, getting people to continue to watch videos, and videos, and videos. I.e., to never leave. 18
Why a Casino?Their goal is to have you stay long enough until the house wins. The trick is in knowing how to leave when when youre winning.

Video is a highly effective persuasiontechnology Dr. BJ Fogg, Director of Persuasive Technology at Stanford University, 2010It has become one of the most effective ways to motivate people towards certain behaviors.
23
Video is one of the greatest ways to help personalize the brand and create a TRUSTED experience. We tend to trust humans, not some corporate logo; and video is the best way to do that on a scaled basis.

Storytelling in the context of video for e-retail
I define "story" in the context of online video for retail as:A visual presentation of sequential events with one or more relatable characters, which lends itself a special significance meant to connect with consumers, build their desire and trust over time, and lead them towards a clear business purpose.
28
Emotionally Intelligent
We call this empathy29
For retailers, storytelling is an art and a business. Because of that, it requires more guidelines than freeform storytelling It needs to have a CTA

Orabrush: Social Video Success
http://video-commerce.org/2012/06/engage-and-convert-a-sneak-peak-into-orabrushs-social-video-playbook/56
Orabrush was recently featured on the official Google Blog about their online video marketing success and being a rather interesting YouTube case study: "The Orabrush story: How a Utah man used YouTube to build a multi-million dollar business." I recommend checking out that article first for some good insight on the company's backstory, along with and their video marketing strategy, which is well summarized in the infographic below.

Engagementvs.Conversion

Conversion videoshave a DIRECT marketing approachFor Orabrush, they are similar to entertaining, short-form infomercials.They educate people, teach them about their story, and show their personality. They also have a clear call-to-action for a purchase to be made.Success is measured in actual sales. Theyre really focused around ROI, meaning if they dont get a positive ROI, or at least break even, then theyre considered a fail.
I guess you could also call it an edutainment video, or infotainment-mercial, but they are meant to convert, says Harmon. They educate people, teach them about our story, and show our personality. They also have a clear call-to-action for a purchase to be made. Theyre really focused around ROI, meaning if they dont get a positive ROI, theyre a fail, and the whole project was a fail or at least, we break even.
