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...

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...

I stumbled across a free download that makes PC desktops look better and easier to use. It came packaged with VistaStartMenu, Yahoo Widgets and Zune Desktop Theme. I was thrilled to discover that one of the Yahoo Widgets can display Google Adsense earnings in real time without logging in. This saved me a lot of hassle as I have the obsession of checking my Adsense earnings almost every hour. Then I thought to myself, what about web stats? Is there a Yahoo Widget that can display website statistics in real time? I couldn't find one in Yahoo Widgets, but since I know the posibility of such widgets exist, I searched Netvibes' widgets. There is a web analysis widget that closely match what I want. It tracks and displays website vistors in real time based on Clicky Web Analytics service . I placed the code in my website pages and the numbers started counting in the widget in real time. No need to refresh the page. Again I was not fully satisfied. I wanted it to make a sound when t...

Building a professional website have become so easy with new free tools and free widgets. I have my own website since 1998 and it has undergone many changes and face-lifts with 100 pages and over. The 2008 web site revamp was in line with my new business direction as well as clients' feedback. Simple Content Management System Clients found the website navigation hard to follow with difficulty finding what they want. So I changed the whole template from a 1-column website to a 3-column website, from a top-menu drop-down navigation system to a side-menu navigation system. The side-menu bar is always visible as compared to a drop-down menu. to Thanks to CMSimple , a simple online content mangement system, the change in template was done within 1 hour, though the site has over 100 web pages. Everything is done online. Nothing to upload except new graphics and widgets. Free Online Logo Design Since the size of the graphic header is changed due to a different template, I had to redes...

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...

Here is how to submit a Video Sitemap to Google. Create a Video Sitemap and save it at a publicly accessible URL. Sign into Google webmaster ...

VideoPreneur cannot resist but teach his 9 year old kid the right way to blog (ie. monetized and optimized for Google traffic). My 9 year old kid is a natural when it comes to computers and internet. She has figured out for herself how to setup accounts in yahoo email, gmail and blogger.com. Not to mention other accounts at Club Penguin, Barbie, Winx Club, etc. It's the school holiday and as a parent, I want her to do something useful. I know she has been reading books from the library, so I thought why not ask her to blog about book reviews. This will definitely improve her language and writing skills (and make some pocket money recommending the book). Last night, when I got home from work with a tired face, my kid bounced on her feet and said: "Daddy daddy, I want you read and correct by book review before I publish it!" (She meant hit the PUBLISH POST button in blogger.com) I said: "Ok but after my dinner." Anyway, I read through her draft. The book review wa...

Being a videographer can be very rewarding. It is a win-win-win situation. It is first a hobby, second makes money and third an opportunity to meet famous people. Over the weekend, Hong Kong's internet millionaire Kelvin Hui was in Singapore to teach his highly regarded internet traffic generation secrets. I learnt a lot about increasing website traffic from search engine optimisation, blogging and community involvement. In the last post I attempt to implement one of his tips. It works! My post is now on the first page of google for the search keyword " Singapore DVD Duplication ". Get ready to see more of my web pages on google as I will be spending my time using the strategies.

Moving from being a "self-employed videographer" to becoming a "video production business owner" is not an easy task. I am experiencing the vicious cycle. With more staff and outsourcing overheads, I am forced to look for more projects. The inflow of video projects cannot stop. Cashflow is so crucial now (In case this all sound familiar, yes, I am applying the teachings of Rich Dad Poor Dad's Robert Kiyosaki). The obvious solution to the above situation is MARKETING. I am learning as much as I can about marketing a business, particularly in the field of internet marketing. In the beginning, most of my new clients came from my website http://videolane.com/ , which had an Alexa ranking of 70,000. Today it is like miserably over a million. So, my eyes are turning blurry from reading all the internet marketing tips at night. With all the knowledge I gather, I am putting them to practice immediately. Here are the first two changes...

Yes, I shot him. I shot Ewen Chia at close range. Ewen Chia, the World’s No.1 Super Affiliate. His wife was at the scene, witnessed everything. It happened last night at the venue where he was teaching others internet marketing. He kept rambling about an AutoPilot Profits System. Just plug and play, set and forget, then make money automatically. It got me so worked up, so heated up, I had to do something about it... http://www.videolane.com/?AutoPilot_Profits
