When done correctly video marketing is a good way to promote a business online. When Google purchased You Tube a few years ago that was an indication that video was going to be big.

Many businesses have lagged behind in making use of the many video marketing opportunities. If you have been pondering the idea of using video marketing to promote your business online these top tips on video marketing are for you.

1. Rather keep your videos brief, as people do not want to watch a movie.

It only takes a few minutes to create short, interesting and catchy videos.

2. Avoid deliberately advertising. A trap many people fall into is turning their videos into an advert for their business.

If your business can start by Educating the target market about how your product or Service can add value to their lives. This can be done via Video (hot right now), basic text, audio etc. I've had a lot of success with Video and am using it primarily as a lead generation tool.

Re: need pricing help please - here's my opinion that was derived from the person I heard it from (Russell Brunson) I view internet Marketing products as a Ladder. At the bottom of the Ladder is ebooks and at the top is One on One Coaching. so the ladder would look like this starting from the Top ($$$) to Bottom($) One-to-One Coaching ($$$$$$) Workshops ($$$$$) Teleseminars ($$$$) Video($$$) Audio ($$) ebooks ($) I agree with this methodology mainly because of the convenience factor and value from the customers point of view.
