Video is a quick traffic generation tool for any sales web page. Simply create a descriptive video of the actual product itself. If the product is physical, use a camcorder or a good phone video camera. If the product is an ebook, make a screen capture video by using a program like Camtasia. Script the video around a "Here is what you can have" idea. Call it a "tour of our product". It is very simple to do and it works all the time! Here, I will give you a quick outline of how this can be done on an ebook product. 1) Start the screen capture software. 2) Welcome the viewer to the product tour video. 3) Show the download page, discuss the bonuses, etc... Talk about everything they receive when they order. 4) Show them the chapters in the ebook. Read some of the paragraphs. This shows the viewer that the product is real, shows how it is presented, and they get a quick taste of exactly what is inside. 5) Thank the viewer for watching the video and remind them that they...

Build-A-Video Workshop, Where Instant Movies Are Made My 10 year old daughter celebrated her birthday over the Easter weekend. What she wanted was a stuffed animal from Build-A-Bear Workshop. Being ignorant of kids stores around town, I thought Build-A-Bear Workshop was just another toy shop. By co-incidence while reading the financial news about Bear Stearns, I discovered Build-A-Bear Workshop is listed on New York Stock Exchange at a whopping $9 per share (rounded off). I thought: “How can a teddy bear shop make so much money?”. I brought my daughter to a nearby outlet to find out… and to build her the bear. The store was buzzing. There were mainly 3 types of customers. Parents buying for kids. Boyfriends buying for girlfriends. Girls buying for themselves. The staff were cheery bubbly teen girls bouncing around the store like they will never run out of batteries. Dollar signs appeared in front of my eyes. It is a novelty store. You actually...

My "To Do" list is getting longer. There is more and more things to learn and do to develop my business online. Offline, I make videos for a living. So when someone writes a report about Video Marketing Tactics that suck in profits, I HAVE to read it. As the title implies, this 13-page report is written like the famous "Dummies" book series. It is a free download with "rebrand" option. The "Dum Marketing" Technique is a unique funnel concept that is used in brick-and-mortar malls. It explains the trick to attract visitors to buy your first product and subsequently entice them to buy more from you. It has clear flow charts to illustrate the process step-by-step. There are 5 practical examples of how to use video with this technique. This is the section which I will refer back again when I take action (more things added to my to do list again). Here is one example: "You’ve just created a hot little special report and instead of gi...

It is a joy and honour when you see your video being featured on the front page of a video sharing site . Here is my christmas video featured on the front page of Lulu.tv . Here it is again in a subcategory page. How to get your video featured? I have no idea. Probably it is a "how-to" video related to the holiday season. You get extra website traffic when your video gets featured on Youtube. BUT you get EXTRA MONEY when your video gets featured on Lulu.tv . Received 400 views in one week. Not much but worth it. Lulu.tv is one video sharing site that is not often talked about. Hence competition is not tough and you get a good share of advertising money. Lulu.tv pays you based on the number of times your videos get played. Lulu.tv puts 80% of the it's ad revenue in a cash pool. Video publishers get to share this 80%. So the more videos you have and the more they get played, the bigger share you will get. I like this system. No need to click on any ads to make money. Than...
