If you don’t have samples of your work online than you should put it up quickly.  If you aren’t putting your clients videos online than you should put it up NOW. A recent article by emarketer.com gives several compelling reasons to put your videos online.  Here are some stats they presented:

– 77 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed online video.
– The average online video viewer watched 274 minutes of video.
– More than 80 percent of the 18-34 year olds watched online video, higher than any other age segment. The average 18-34 year old online video viewer watched 4.8 hours of video during the month, also ranking above all other age segments.

One great way to get your videos online to a lot of sites at once is to use tubemogul.com.  It allows you to upload the same video to over 20 sites at once.  The more your content is out there, the more people will view it.  If you put a commercial you did for a local television station, or a wedding video or a promotional video, than put it online and track who is watching these videos.  If you want to market to a niche in your area and have the stats to back up your product, then you will get a lot of business.  You can impress a company by proving that 5000 people viewed your video in 2008.  They will want to continue to make videos with you as you are helping drive traffic to their website and/or storefront but having info at the closing of each video.

Go ahead…give it a try.  People are continuously going online to consume content and video is the natural means.
