Video Marketing Is a Super Strategy for Internet Network Marketers — by Deborah Marsden

Video Marketing, the Internet and Network Marketing have all come together in an
explosive way to assist you to generate leads and traffic to your websites.
Video Marketing is a Lead Generating Machine
Internet network marketing has
changed the way network marketers build their businesses and video marketing is
virtually a lead generating machine.
There are any number of ways to generate leads and traffic and the newest kid on
the block is video marketing. Just about everyone loves to watch videos and the
success of YouTube just about says it all. What's more is that making a video
can be child's play; just ask your kids or the grandkids. You can literally have
something up and running in minutes.
No More Cold Calls, No More Sweaty Palms
Network marketing no longer has to be done in the living room, but is done on
the internet. Generating leads (prospects) is done by getting traffic to your
websites or lead capture pages. No more cold calls, no more sweaty palms.
Establish a 'Presence'
In order for your prospects to find you in cyberspace, you have to have a
'presence'. You need to have some content, with your name and even a photo on it
and provide some value to people who are searching for what you have to offer.
You can create your 'presence' in many ways and putting together videos is just
one of them.
Advantages of Video Marketing Are Many
So easy your kid can do it
Can be totally free if you already have a digital or video camera
Videos are exceptionally popular
Videos are 'sticky', keeping people on your website or landing page longer
Videos allow you to reach many more people (potential customers or business
leads)
Allows you to build your brand
Creates a relationship with your viewers
Creating more traffic to your website can mean more sales and income
Videos are 'viral' in nature meaning that if one person likes it, it can be
promoted everywhere and anywhere in the world
Video is popular with search engines making it easier for people to find
CCan be very 'low tech so no neCan be very 'low tech' so no need to be a Hollywood Producer
Video Marketing Is Fun
Many people may feel embarrassed or frightened to even consider putting a video
on the internet but once you do, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about. It
is much easier than you think, much more effective than just about anything
else, and can be heaps more fun.
Families have been putting family videos on their blogs for quite awhile now so
they can easily share their experiences with friends and other family members.
What you would be doing is taking it beyond the family blog and using the video
to market yourself first and then your business or products. Creating videos
that you can share will help you become familiar and allow people to feel they
'know, like and trust' you. At some point they may consider investigating your
offerings further.
The bottom line is this. If you are looking for ways to improve or expand your
network marketing or internet marketing business, then video marketing is a
strategy worth exploring.
Video marketing is the new frontier and if you
want to be successful it's a strategy to learn and embrace.

Animoto: Video Internet Marketing For The Beginner — by David Enders

Youtube is the third most visited web site worldwide, behind Google
and Yahoo (Google owns Youtube). On Youtube and most of the other video social
web sites you will find many online marketers promoting their businesses with
video.
Video marketing is becoming one of the fastest growing features of Web 2.0
Internet Marketing. It's popular because it's easy and anyone can do it.ause it's easy and anyone can do it.
From Presidential candidates, large corporation CEO's, Internet Marketing
guru's, to work at home mom and dad's; everyone is doing it.
If you have seen any of the videos on Youtube, it is obvious that most of them
are "Home Made". That's part of the personal touch to videos. Heck, most of us
do not have the advertising budget of the large corporations.
Now You Can Create Videos As Unique As Your Business
Recently I found a great web site where you can produce your own professional
quality videos for free. You don't even need a camera. The name of the web site
is Animoto.
Like it or not you need to include video as part of your Internet marketing
plan. Video marketing is popular for the same reason people like to watch
movies. If given a choice most people will view a video over a web site or
reading an article.
Video Marketing is more personal - almost one-on-one.
Animoto was created by TV and film producers. Now creating a professional
looking video has never been easier. No two videos are ever the same and you can
update and change your videos anytime. Animoto even has free pre-licensed music
to use with your video.
How Video Can Help Your Business
Enhance Your Web Site - use video to showcase your company's latest product or
special event.
Take Your E-Newsletter Viral - adding a video to your e-newsletter will help get
the attention of your audience, who will want to recommend you and share your
e-newsletter.
Spice-Up Your Bog - encourage your readers to recommend your blog by including
informational and entertaining videos.
Create Promotional Videos - use video to introduce an affiliate product or
service to your customers. You can include a link to the video in your e-mail to
your customers.
Upload Your Video to Youtube - Animoto has a special feature where after
producing your video you can upload it directly to your Youtube account.
Download your video and then use a video directory, such as TubeMogul, to
distribute your video to other social video web sites. Spread your video
throughout the Internet for maximum exposure.
These are just a few of the ways you can use Animoto to promote your business
with video.
Producing a video with Animoto takes just a few minutes. It probably took me
close to an hour to produce my first video using Animoto. But now I can have a
video produced in five to ten minutes. What took me so long the first time was
searching the Internet for photos to use. I Googled "Free Stock Photos" and then
downloaded the photos of my choice to my computer.
Once I had the material all together it was easy. I was able to customize and
produce my video in a few minutes. I produced my first Animoto video without the
use of any camera. So if you don't have a camera yet don't let that stop you
from using video to market your business.
If you would like to learn more about using video to market your business I
recommend the excellent training from
Renegade University. You will receive step-by-step instructions on how to
purchase your camera, how to set it up and produce your own video at home.
Meanwhile get started today producing your videos and promoting your business
with Animoto.

Why Traffic Geyser's Online Marketing System for
lead generation?
Every day, millions of consumers search online to find everything from a new
restaurant to a phone number for a local dentist. Will they find you - or will
they find your competitors? Online marketing has become a critical aspect of
business marketing, whether you are a retailer, a service company or a
professional networker.
There are several obstacles in implementing an online marketing strategy for a
small business: cost, time and lack of technical skills. For example, a custom
web site can cost thousands of dollars to create from scratch. If you don't
have the time or technical skills to maintain or update the site, you will have
also need a monthly budget to cover a webmaster or web consultant. Many small
business owners don't have the budget to gamble on the complexities of web sites
and search engine optimization.
So how can you afford to compete online, if your budget is small and your skills
are limited? Well, you could learn some new skills and do it all yourself. But,
if you believe the old adage that 'time is money', you want to cut to the
chase. You need to plug into a comprehensive online marketing system that will
expedite your results.
