It&#8217;s a great way to bring in traffic and create interest<br \/>\nin your site or brand.<\/p>\n<p><b>Just ask Susan Boyle!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Videos can have a tremendous impact on the web, especially viral<br \/>\nvideos like many of those featured on YouTube and sites like it.<br \/>\nFor promotion and word-of-mouth advertising&#8230; it can&#8217;t be beaten.<\/p>\n<p>Truth be told, I am a marketer who&#8217;s set in his ways, anything<br \/>\nnew like videos makes me cautious. For a long time, I resisted<br \/>\nusing videos on my sites. If you have been doing something<br \/>\nsuccessfully for years with your online sites &#8211; why change now?<\/p>\n<p>The obvious reason &#8211; with online marketing, you have to change<br \/>\nwith the times or go the way of the Do Do bird. If you don&#8217;t adapt,<br \/>\nyou lose. Period, end of story.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, it has been my long-term belief that all the websites on<br \/>\nthe net will eventually turn into something akin to TV channels &#8211;<br \/>\nthe Billion Channel Internet. God help us all!<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s coming, most people are generally lazy, they like to get<br \/>\neverything done for them with the least amount of energy wasted<br \/>\non their part. Videos give you the information you need quickly and<br \/>\nwithout any fuss &#8211; you just sit there and watch and listen. Videos are<br \/>\nthe perfect teaching tools. Videos are the perfect marketing tools.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, I started placing other people videos on my site &#8211;<br \/>\nI even have one from SBI on my homepage. It is an effective<br \/>\nway of making more sales.<\/p>\n<p>Few other sites have also used my articles and turned them<br \/>\ninto videos &#8211; mainly Site-Reference. Here&#8217;s an example:<\/p>\n<p>8 SEO Techniques Every Webmaster Should Know<\/p>\n<p>Basically anyone can make a simple video with a camcorder<br \/>\nor even a webcam. There&#8217;s also free video making software that<br \/>\nyou can use such as from camstudio:<\/p>\n<p>camstudio.org<\/p>\n<p>You just capture what on your computer and the audio &#8211; as<br \/>\nyou explain some marketing process or method. Many online<br \/>\nmarketers use this technique for selling and\/or explaining<br \/>\ntheir products.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Cheney, Neil Shearing, Marlon Sanders&#8230; are all<br \/>\ntop-level marketers who use this method. A very effective way<br \/>\nto get your message across.<\/p>\n<p>You rarely see any major sales page or letter these<br \/>\ndays that doesn&#8217;t have at least one video attached to it.<br \/>\nMany marketers also use video testimonials because they<br \/>\nare so much more effective than an ordinary text plug.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I have started using videos in my own online<br \/>\nmarketing &#8211; no I am not making my own videos, I pay<br \/>\nsomeone else to make mine for me. I use the article video<br \/>\nservice through Bill Platt&#8217;s www.thephantomwriters.com<br \/>\n&#8211; I was very pleased with the first video and will get<br \/>\nmore done.<\/p>\n<p>These videos are produced through www.topmarketmaker.com<br \/>\nand are very professional.<\/p>\n<p>I have this video now on my sites and used it in a PRWeb<br \/>\nPress Release which brought in a lot of sales for me.<br \/>\nYou can view it here:<\/p>\n<p>I believe you can&#8217;t stand still, you must change with the times&#8230; if<br \/>\nthe regular static HTML site is no longer as effective as using<br \/>\nvideos, flashmovies, javascripts, rss blogs&#8230; you have to change<br \/>\nwith the times or go the way&#8230; you guessed it, that extinct bird.<\/p>\n<p>Never doubt the power of video, it can really help get your<br \/>\nsite or product noticed on the web. It is a great way to<br \/>\npromote yourself or your site. One video on YouTube can virtually<br \/>\nchange your life overnight &#8211; it can be more powerful than<br \/>\nTV or the web alone.<\/p>\n<p>It is also an excellent way to earn more revenue and to build<br \/>\nyour list of contacts. It&#8217;s hard to believe but one teenager<br \/>\nusing YouTube has built up a list of over 1 Million subscribers.<br \/>\nSo this same opportunity is open to any Tom, Dick or Fred with<br \/>\na video camera and a little imagination.<\/p>\n<p>Videos on the web are here to stay, so you might as well<br \/>\njoin in on the fun and help your marketing in the process.<\/p>\n<p>So what about you &#8211; are you using videos in your marketing?<br \/>\nAre you using videos on your site?
