Video marketing is often seen as a game-changer in the world of sales and customer acquisition. But here’s the thing— even when video marketing is done wrong, it still generates results. And by results, I mean sales. That’s why so many businesses turn to video marketing. It’s effective, even if it’s not done perfectly.
Now, you might think the solution to improving video marketing is simply spending more money on ads. But what if I told you there’s a much better way? In this article, I’m going to reveal the most powerful video marketing strategy I’ve ever seen and show you what most people are doing wrong.
The Common Approach to Video Marketing
Let’s start with the most common approach to video marketing. You’ve probably seen it yourself. Businesses create a promo video—often as polished and professional as possible—and then run paid traffic to that video. It sounds like a solid plan, right?
Well, if this strategy is working for you, by all means, keep doing it while you build something even more effective. But let’s break down what’s happening here and why this method can backfire.
Why Paid Ads Aren’t the Best Approach
When you pay to have people watch your promo video, there’s a major challenge right from the start. People know they’re being sold to. Let’s face it, no one likes being sold to, and that discomfort is real. We’ve all been there: trying to skip ads, mute the TV, or close a pop-up window.
So when you’re paying for people to watch an ad, essentially, you’re paying to annoy them. And what do you get in return? While you might generate leads, they’re often low-quality leads. These are people who’ve been pushed into your sales funnel without any real connection to your product or brand.
This type of marketing takes a lot of effort. You have to create an amazing promo video, sure. But then, you have to push it in front of a huge audience and filter through the leads that come through. The time and effort required to manage all this leads to a low return on investment (ROI), both in terms of money and time.
The Power of Video Marketing
Despite the flaws in this approach, video marketing is still powerful. Even when you’re doing it wrong, you’ll still generate leads. The reason for this is simple: Video marketing taps into the human need for connection, trust, and engagement. It can convey emotions and create a bond with your audience in a way text or images simply can’t.
A Better Way to Use Video Marketing
Now, it’s time to introduce the most powerful video marketing strategy I’ve ever seen. It’s a strategy that eliminates the common pitfalls and maximizes the impact of your video marketing efforts. I’ve broken this strategy into two parts, and the next video will explain the formula for easy, effective video marketing.

In the meantime, think about this: The true power of video marketing lies not just in pushing ads, but in creating authentic, meaningful content that resonates with your audience. When you get this right, your marketing efforts will feel less like a sales pitch and more like a conversation—one that leads to real sales and strong connections.
