We’re exciting to have our own Vice President of Social Media & Audience Development Julie Perry presenting at Thursday’s Indy Social Media Breakfast. Held at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, Breakfast #11: Using Video will kick off at 7:30 am on Thursday, August 18th. Julie will be covering the subject of video SEO (vSEO) and YouTube Optimization (YTO).

Julie will be joined by another online video rockstar, Rocky Walls of 12 Stars Media. Rocky will be discussing the content creation side of online video and attendees will learn what goes into producing great content. This should be an information-packed hour of online video scoop that you won’t want to miss if you’re in the Indy area.

For a sneak peak at the type of content Julie delivers in the realm of YouTube marketing, check out a recent interview with her that appeared on FastCompany.com: “How to Make YouTube Part of Your Social Media Marketing.” But this Thursday, Julie’s focus will be strictly on YouTube search optimization and how to leverage the power of Web video for search benefits.

More specifically, Julie will speak to the  following:

• Why YouTube is your best bet for gaining top search results for your online video content — and how your YouTube videos can even land you on Page 1 of the Google SERPs.
• How to approach keyword research when it comes to vSEO.
• Five (5) top tips for YouTube video optimization (YTO) that will help you rank for your top keywords. (And you never know with Julie — if she can talk fast enough and refrain from her self-admitted tendency to go off on tangents , she’ll try to fit in 10.)

During the event, Julie and Rocky will also be doing a giveaway with two prizes by way of a Twitter contest:

1. Two (2) free tickets to Dig-IN ~A Taste of Indiana, being held on Sunday, August 28th from Noon to 5 pm at White River State Park. More than 30 of Indiana’s greatest chefs and food minds will prepare culinary delights on-site while discussing their recipes and the all-Hoosier ingredients with visitors. Dig-IN will also feature nine Indiana wineries and 10 Indiana breweries.
   • Hey, and check out the DigINDIANA YouTube channel that Julie helped set up and manage for the event — even without any of its own original, uploaded content, this channel is killing it for just being a month old!
   • Learn more about the Dig-IN ~Taste of Indiana event from the featured YouTube video by the guys at Craftedspoon.
2. One lucky winner will also receive a copy of “Success Secrets of the Social Media Marketing Superstars” (published by Entrepreneur Magazine‘s Entrepreneur Press in August 2010). Julie contributed to this book with a chapter, appropriately for this presentation, on YouTube marketing and YTO. Other contributing authors include Gary Vaynerchuk (Gary Vee), Chris Brogan and Mari Smith.
   

So there’s lots to learn from Rocky and Julie — and lots to win, as well!

Doors open at 7:30 am sharp. We hope to see you there for this online video extravaganza!
