YouTube Can Be An Outstanding Tool To Promote Your Website and Opt In PagesPosted by Bonnie Holscher on January 24th, 2010

You Tube started out as a fun place to post your home videos and began to be utilized by internet entrepreneurs to share their products and sservices.  Entertainers started to promote themselves by posting music videos and now You Tube has become one of the most widely used promotional tools available to anyone who has a computer. 

The internet business owner can not only promote what they have to offer, they can also do trainings as well.  Entreperneurs like Alex Mendossian, Jeff Herring, Andy Andrews and many, many others use video to share messages,  make announcements of new programs and new offers regularly using video as the media means to reach their followers and students.  This creates that all too important personal touch that the internet can sometimes leave out.  Who is the person behind the website or voice or email?  Like it has been said that people will do business with those they know, like and trust.  What better a way besides meeting someone face to face than to hear them and see them on video. 

Most cameras these days have a video function on them and now the ever popular Flip Video Recorder makes doing random footage quite easy. Nowadays it is also advisable to get testimonials for credibility and what better way to do it and share them.   Windows has a movie maker that makes editing and adding titles and URL’s easy as well.  So if you are serious about building an online marketing business, it would be wise to look into adding video to your work and watch it grow.  One nice thing about posting to YouTube is that others can share your video with those that they know or those who  follow them and your message becomes viral and can travel all over the world.  Imagine how many lives you can touch.

Adding Video Will Raise Your Credibility And Value OnlinePosted by Bonnie Holscher on September 29th, 2009

It is true that people will connect with and purchase from those they believe to be a real person and what they have to offer really does work.  This is why it is extremely important to put your picture in your posts and promotions.  But pictures seem to be only half the story.  Video is not only up and coming, it is here to stay.  One of the most effective ways to bring credibility to your sites, products and/or services is to have video of yourself and in time video testimonials.  What can be more effective than having someone endorse you and what you do and how it effected or change their life.

So I played around this morning with the camcorder attached to my computer (it is an older one)and made this video.  It is not the greatest of quality at this point but now I become real to thousands if not millions of people.  Video can be shot with your camera, a camcorder and even the webcam in or on your computer.  I even edited it, giving it a title and credits which made it more desirable.  You can learn this too.  Although I learned this a while ago I did not embrace it till I experienced the training of Joel Bauer at a seminar here in Vegas.  Alex Mandossian also taught this on a stage at a Peak Potentials Event not long ago. 

So with out further adou….My video
Remember if you are not willing to promote yourself….who else do you think will?
