Oh Say Can You OSeeit? A New Online Video Directory Debuts

online video advertisingWhat if you could post a promotional video online targeting a specific region of the country? What if you knew that consumers regularly come to that online video sharing website specifically looking for local businesses? How much would you be willing to pay to for that service? How does free sound? OSeeIt.com bills itself as “the best website for viewing business videos and ratings.” Let’s take a look.

While anyone can view business videos online at OSeeIt, in order to post your own video or review an online video, you will need to sign up for an account. Signing up is a simple matter of choosing a user name and password and filling out a few details about yourself such as your ZIP code and age.

Once registered, you’re immediately taken to the account dashboard. This dashboard is simple with just a few categories including: Search Videos, My Businesses, My Reviews, and FAQs. As a business owner, you’ll want to set up your business and upload a video. Simply click My Businesses followed by the “Ready to advertise? Click here to setup a new business” link. Again, setup is a snap. Fill in a form with your business details, contact information, and types of payment you accept.

A neat feature is the “profile space” name. Enter a term that describes your service such as “Video Production Company” and an OSeeIt URL will be created, in this case OSeeIt.com/VideoProductionCompany, that you can use to point to your online business video. Once you’ve created the basic listing, you’ll need to activate your account which is a simple matter of clicking a button. From there, click on Business Videos and get ready to upload your video!

Uploading your business video is straightforward with a process you’re likely familiar with. Locate the video on your computer and then click the Upload Video link. Once uploaded, the video goes through a processing period which may take up to 24 hours though it only took a few minutes during a recent test of the service. Presumably, the video is reviewed for appropriateness.

While you’re waiting, you can add additional videos to your account. If you have more than one video, you can specify the order in which the videos appear using the Sort Order field. Videos specified as Sort Order 1 are shown to first time visitors by default. You must have a business video uploaded in order for your profile to show up in OSeeit’s video directory.

Not only is this site extremely easy to use, it is also free. If you want additional exposure, you can advertise on OSeeIt.com, which is how the site makes its money. Currently, OSeeIt.com is offering a three month site sponsorship for just $59. This package displays your business on the right side of the main OSeeIt.com page.

Depending on the length and size of your video, the entire process of signing up for a free OSeeIt.com account and uploading a business video takes just a few minutes. Your business listing and promotional business video will be listed on the site for 365 days – for free!
