Did you know that you could be losing sales with your marketing videos?

Did you know that if you are only using your marketing videos to promote your products and services that you could be losing out on the opportunity to allow your customers to make a purchase?

If your not using payment buttons on your videos, you should be!

The answer is simple: you need to take your video advertising to the next level!

Allowing your customers to make a buying decision while they are watching your marketing videos is by far the best solution.

Most people are only using video as a promotional tool, but what if your customers could click on a “buy now” button while watching your video presentation? Wouldn’t that be amazing?

Do you think this would help to increase your sales? Of course it would.

The only way to compete in this new video advertising age is to allow your customers to interact with your video presentations.

There are a lot of different video branding products on the market today that allow you to place text links on your video screens and that’s great, but you can’t use these products to place payment buttons on your video.

Video Direct Pay 2.0 is the revolutionary new software that allows you to do just that. With this incredible new software you can place a “more details” button and a “buy now” anywhere on your marketing videos.

Video Direct Pay 2.0 was created by Kevin Burns, the Creative Director for Unselfish Marketer’s Co. Ltd. Kevin is a qualified software developer who has created a new product that will change the way we do business online.

Visualize this: Take a salesletter and ‘translate’ it into a PowerPoint-style presentation using Camtasia. The 3rd last slide contains the last set of benefit points. The 2nd last slide reiterates any limited offers before they expire so listeners must take action NOW. The last slide shows the order link right in their face!

You couldn’t be more ready to start placing payment buttons on your videos than it is right now. Come here for your backdoor offer with a hefty $50 discount!

Disc Mojo 

If you have noticed, on the Internet, if one marketing idea becomes popular, then everyone starts doing it and it slowly starts losing its effectiveness.

For example, take PDF e-books. Up until recently, they were the norm; everyone sold them but as soon as Web 2.0 and the audio/video boom came earlier this year, e-books seem to lose its luster.

Top Internet marketers had to start selling videos and audios too. As soon as they started doing that, everyone else followed, and soon they might lose their effectiveness too. However, all along the way, one marketing medium has stood the test of time.

Physical Info-products! Yes, it is a known fact that packaging products into CDs or DVDs dramatically increases their perceived value. Then why isn’t everyone doing it? It is because it is not an automated task and is very time-consuming. Plus, it was expensive.

There were a few PHP scripts which could help you automate this task with the help of the mega-giant DVD producing company Kunaki.com but they were hard to use and expensive.

Enter Disc Mojo which is very easy to use and totally automates the process for you. Now, everyone can have their own physical info-products and rake in the big bucks like the gurus do.

Imagine what it would be like to price your same $47 e-book as a $97 or even a $147 video DVD course with minimal work on your part and receive more conversions and ultimately double or triple the income you make with the same amount of traffic!

The death of banner ads remains as a rumor.

Posted June 28th, 2008. Filed under Web Promotion

If you think banner ads are dead, well, think again. You still see them around, don’t you? Reality proves the exact opposite. According to the Internet Advertising Bureau, the Internet advertising industry in the USA has grown every quarter for the last four and a half years, reaching $4.1 billion in revenue, and banner ads currently account for 50% of all USA Internet advertising. The market for banner ads has evolved and matured overtime, so some things must have gone right. In fact, the rules have changed, and you have to relearn them to stay relevant.

Some resources for video publishing.

Posted June 28th, 2008. Filed under Audio/Video Marketing

In the last week, I had to replace my FTP client and FLV encoder software, so while I worked on a video clip, I thought of writing this simple tutorial to get you started with video publishing in case you don’t know how.

I won’t write about the artistic aspects of filming and editing. That’s…not my job, and neither should it be yours. In fact, this sort of thing should be left with “old hands”, but if you can’t find an expert in time, this little tutorial will give you some understanding in minutes. By the way, marketing is your PRIMARY job, just remember that. First, let me give you 2 links to comparison reviews of Creative Vado and the Flip video camera.

“Creative Vado vs. Flip” review #1
“Creative Vado vs. Flip” review #2

The Flip video camera is an American product while Creative Vado can be bought off the shelf here in the Asian markets. Otherwise, look out for them on eBay, or wait for better versions and wider distribution to come. Such fuss-free camcorders are best for shooting quick YouTube-quality videos you can upload on the Web. If you want to film a presentation you can purchase a tripod stand as an accessory to keep it ‘still’. Vado doesn’t seem to have any accessories yet, but a stand should be available sooner or later. After all, it’s commonsense to have it.

Suppose the scenario is you have a job to convert an AVI or MPEG video into Flash format and get it playable on a web page. How to do it? Get a free MPEG/MPG to Flash converter. These softwares are a dime a dozen now and they are free too, but the replacement I found is Pazera Free Video to Flash Converter 1.0 by Jacek Pazera. It requires no installation, runs straight from file and converts at a steady speed without any halfway pauses. Jacek has also produced other types of converter software so check them out. You can also find his Free FLV to AVI Converter 1.1.

Use VLC Media Player to play your Flash video on your desktop interface. VLC also includes popular DVD codecs so you can play DVDs with it. I used to naively think that I can play DVDs straight away before realizing the DVD drive still needs a codec installed to play the format. What crap…like you buy a car and you still need to buy the key.

Once you’re happy with the Flash video, you’re ready to FTP it to your web server. The only FTP client I trust now is FileZilla. Again, FTP clients are a dime a dozen, some are free and most have a “resume” feature to cope with large files in case the Internet connection drops.

What I experience with my previous FTP software is you may resume an upload but the file is already corrupted the moment the connection breaks. It took me a day to figure this out and I easily wasted productivity on that. You may get connection cut-offs anyway because your server can register ‘inactivity’ (even as the upload continues) and went into “passive mode”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, be thankful you haven’t encounter such a problem yet. FileZilla registered server inactivity several times and still managed to upload my 19 MB Flash video in perfect order.

Go back to “Creative Vado vs. Flip” review #1 and notice the 3 video clips in the blog post. Yup, they have unmistakable Flash video playback control. Go to Free Video Coding to get your HTML code and embed it in your web page. Use the Anarchy Media Player plugin to embed the video into your blog.

That’s about it! The next step is an enhancement so it’s optional.

If you still don’t know much about AdWords, the best way to learn is to watch the videos at the AdWords Learning Center. For those who know enough of it, I like you to watch the videos again and notice the design of its multi-track interface.

How would you like to organize your own list of FLV videos and enable visitors to play them from one window just like it is done at AdWords Learning Center?

Media Menu Producer

Tracy Childers, the creator of FLV Producer, has just the right software for you to do that and it’s called Media Menu Producer. One top marketer even used it to string a series of short videos together to make one long video sales letter.

The multi-track list doesn’t just appear on the left side. You can have it on the right and below the video window too.

Next, you can move on to video marketing

For the past few weeks, the staff at Worldwide Brands, one of the premier dropshipping service you can ever have in US of A, has been uploading one free video after another for their “Beat the Recession with eCommerce” series.

The videos are awesome to say the least. In the 50-minute Video 2, you find a montage of advice coming from a range of niche marketers and merchants as they reflect on their ideas and strategies to doing business online. You can also check out their websites for your own reference.

You cannot help but be inspired by their business growth in spite of the downturn. How did they do that? You just have to find out.

Also for a limited time, Worldwide Brands is giving away its product sourcing kit—Drop Ship Focus—for free. They used to sell this product for $97.

Drop Ship Focus is one of Worldwide Brands’ top products. Their customers love it. Even internet and auction experts love it.

eBay Gold PowerSeller Skip McGrath said, “I’ve been selling on eBay for 9 years and drop shipping for the last five years…and I learned a ton of new stuff. A lot of people provide great information about finding dropshippers, but Drop Ship Focus combines the sourcing information with great training. This is a great system for beginner and advanced sellers.”

One of the things I like most about Drop Ship Focus is that every single supplier in their database has been contacted by phone and pre-screened by the Worldwide Brands staff. This saves you a ton of time and prevents you from working with bogus suppliers. Only the best suppliers made the cut for this product.

If you’ve been looking for away to get started with your Internet business or you want to add new products to your existing business, dropshipping is one of the quickest ways to do it.

With drop shipping, you don’t have to warehouse and stock products. The dropshipping company you work with will stock the products and ship them out to your customer for you.

Also with dropshipping, you get paid before you have to send any money to the wholesaler. You won’t have money sitting in inventory. And probably the biggest reason to try dropshipping is it allows you to test dozens of different markets without buying the products in advance. It’s a great way to discover hot-selling products without spending a fortune. You’ll learn a lot more about dropshipping in Drop Ship Focus. And you’ll also learn about wholesale, light-bulk wholesale, liquidations, closeouts, importing, shipping, and product fulfillment.

I’m stunned they’re giving this away for free but I do know they are only giving it away for a few more days. Click here to get it before this free offer is removed permanently!

Secret Affiliate Code 

A typical hot launch unleashes tens of search results containing the product name as the keyword. You can just type “secret affiliate code review” and see for yourself. It appears in blogs, Squidoo lens, hubpages and even more diverse pages. How do you get a piece of the SERP pie when the competition is so stiff?

How is it that some affiliates always seem to be able to grab those prime top positions in Google’s results and you’re left page behind?

Here is where you need to discover how Craig Beckta gets his free traffic.

One of the great things about his technique is that you leverage the efforts of big marketers, but this is not approaching them via JV. They may have lists of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but when they mail out recommendations for a particular product, a huge proportion of their readers will first go to Google to look up more information on the product or reviews from other people. Here is where you ‘steal’ the traffic via SEO.

It means that you can generate a massive amount of free traffic to your website, blogs or articles. And this traffic is all super targeted—they’ve just shown that they’re searching for more info or reviews on a certain product.

By positioning yourself (or should I say, your content) on the front page of Google, you can generate sales simply by having links on your website. Let the gurus send the traffic to your site via Google!

Using his techniques, Craig was able to generate over $6,484 in just one week and he didn’t pay a penny for his traffic! Other affiliates using pay-per-click were paying $5-10 for every single click to their affiliate link.

The Secret Affiliate Code is an in-depth guide covering everything you need to know to succeed. Also included in the package are step-by-step videos and expert interviews from people who are extremely talented at affiliate marketing and promotion. Craig has put together an incredible package and backs it up fully with his 100% money-back guarantee.

If you’re interested in generating an income as an affiliate and using nothing but free traffic, then you should seriously consider the Secret Affiliate Code.

More traffic than you can handle?

Traffic Forces 

Everybody doing ‘anything’ on the Internet and trying to make a profit must need traffic. Sure, there’s a lot of conflicting information out there about how exactly is the best way to deliver traffic to your site…but why not take a page from a playbook that’s actually working.

Traffic Forces takes all the guesswork out of traffic generation with some brand new solutions that will work for you right now. Not some rebranded pay-per-click ideas that might have worked a couple of years ago. These are cutting-edge traffic tactics for sure.

Did I mention that the author Folusho Orokunle drove over 1 million visitors to his sites in just 12 months? Not only that, he did it without a single JV partner, affiliate or any other outside force helping him. The craziest part about it though, is that he started all of this with only about $50 in the bank.

Now he’s going to show you exactly how he did it.

Everyone needs traffic. And unless you already have more traffic that you can possibly handle…Why would you want to make it more difficult than it has to be? Check out Traffic Forces now before the price goes up!

XSitePro V2

XSitePro V2 has been officially released today and I highly recommend you check it out as soon as you can. It’s absolutely amazing!

If you’re not familiar with XSitePro (where have you been for the last three years?!) it’s a website design tool that has been specially designed with Internet marketers and online businesses in mind.

The list of features in XSitePro V1 was great, but Version 2 takes it to a whole new level. It is quite simply the most feature packed web site design tool you’ll ever find.

But here’s the really great thing…

XSitePro is ideal whether you’re a newbie or a power user.

For the beginner it’s far easier to master than Dreamweaver, there’s a great tutorial to help you get started, and the manuals that come with it are the best I’ve ever seen.

For power users it has a list of features that will help you create great sites quicker and easier than ever before and do some things that were simply not possible until now.

Rather than me list all of the incredible features XSitePro V2 offers, I recommend you whiz over to their website now and take a look for yourself. It’s a long and mouth watering list.
