 | Use YouTube To Embellish Your Content |
With words like embellish OLD is well on it’s way to having longer words than Moose on the Loose! Anyway, everyone has heard of the You Tube but how many of you use it to embellish your content writing? A few minutes searching around can give you free content and sometimes a different angle to promote merchants - as this example demonstrates!
Littlewoods Bingo & The YouTube Video
Last month (April 2008) Littlewoods Bingo contacted their affiliates about a TV ad campaign that they were about to run. The advert, like many others, can be found in the archives of YouTube. It’s a useful bit of content and could be used as an integral part of any content.
But a little bit of additional searching and you’ll unearth this nugget of content gold:
It’s an outtake of the original advert - with the actress in the piece apparently winning £500 playing bingo whilst filming the ad. Now, for some reason the original video posted to YouTube was removed and replaced with the one above (apart from that there’s no difference). As far as I know Littlewoods Bingo have not made anything of the video which makes you wonder is it real or just some clever marketing ploy they decided against using?
Who knows the answer, but in terms of writing content and promoting the merchant it’s a much more interesting angle to comment upon compared to just another, fairly unexciting, bingo advert.
So if you’re stuck when writing content or just want a different angle, head on over to the old You Tube and see if there’s a video or two that you can include in your blogs and websites.
