You are so right. You do not need the ten zillion view video to have it be worthwhile. Actually, I think for marketing purposes, you do not need to worry so much about a video going viral in the way Susan Boyle did or the dancing wedding couple. That is wonderful and all, but few businesses will achieve that and video can help you get lots of traffic and business even if it is not a viral sensation. I think viral sensations and business videos are examples of video being used in two entirely different ways. For business and marketing, I personally think the best and most effective videos are ones that would never go viral...simple talking head videos introducing yourself to your customers and giving them a call to action and way to contact you. Adding interactivity to a talking head is sufficient for that. Thanks Lorraine Hi Kris.

I would also add that you don't have to produce a mega hit on youtube or any other social media platform to get noticed. A few thousands views per video can bring in a flood of business. As you said in your post, I think as long as you adhere to the main principles, you'll be ahead of most when it comes to producing and distributing viral videos. Great points Lorraine.
