How Video Will Change Internet Marketing

Guest post by: David Frey

Article Overview: A new era of Internet marketing is exploding onto the scene and it's called VIDEO. Finally, the technology has arrived to use video on the web. This article demonstrates several ways to use video to sell more products and services on the Internet.

How Video Will Change Internet Marketing

Make no mistake, video will change the way people market products and services on the Internet.

Today, the internet is a text and still graphics medium.

With new video publishing technology, that will change very quickly.

Because video has the power to touch people's emotions more than any other medium. Those marketers who learn to master it, will certainly have an edge.

Here are a few ways to use video to enhance the selling process.

5 Ways to Use Video to Sell More On the Internet

1. Video Salesletters

You've undoubtedly seen all these long form salesletters on the Internet. Imagine turning your letter into a multimedia slide show that captivates your audience and compels people to buy.

Here's a good example of this...

2. Video Newsletters

Online newsletters are the primary tools used to create and enhance relationships on the internet. What better than to create a video newsletter that allows people to see you and hear you...not just read what you type.

Here's a good example of this...

3. The Video Optin Page

Companies use optin pages to get visitors to give their contact information to follow up with them. The first question visitors have is...."Who is behind this site?"

Having a video with a person providing a "welcome to this site message" and giving an overview of what the visitor will receive if they give their information, could dramatically increase optin rates.

Here's a good example of this...

4. Video Product Demonstrations

In many instances, it can be difficult to explain the benefits of a complex product in writing. Video demonstrations, however, can bring to life your product or service within seconds.

Here's a good example of this...

5. Video Navigation Commands

Every website owner should have what Ken Evoy calls a "Most Wanted Response" (MWR). The "MWR" is the one thing that you want your visitor to do.

A video with a person guiding or telling the visitor what to do next is a powerful tool to get your visitor's to do what you want them to do.

Using Video to Produce Information Products

As I mentioned in my last newsletter, I'm starting to use video to create information products.

Just last week I produced two full "niche" information products in my new video production studio.

(I'll send you pictures of the studio real soon.)

One of the information products was three hours long and will be split up into three different DVD's.

The second information product was two hours long and will be split up into two different DVD's.

Funny enough, I'm going to be charging THREE times the price for the two hour DVD than the three hour DVD.

Why?

Because the three hour DVD is an "overview" video and the two hour DVD is teaching a very specific technique, I can charge three times more for it (and my customers will happily buy it.)

Conclusion

Why am I talking so much about video and the internet?

Well, it's because technology like Soreson Squeeze and Macromedia Flash are just now making video a reality for all types of internet users (like MAC and dial up users).

I'm voraciously learning about it and if you do business on the net, you might want to as well.

I learned a TON from Michael Koenig's new product

It was like an MBA in internet video. It gets my highest recommendation

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category. I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above? Thanks
