Andy Jenkins' "Video Boss"

Go back. Watch the 4th video, it's the only one that's up right now. Pay attention to what's in the course. Pause when he gets to the editing section, and take a good look at how in depth it goes. Understand, this is not some flimsy Clickbank product on how to do YouTube marketing. This is education for a career in online video marketing.

Personally, after looking through just the Traffic Boss section, I'm confident that I would have gotten my money's worth from that module alone. A full education on proper SEO from Dan Thies and Leslie Rohde? Dan Crowther covering Social Media marketing? Mike Koenigs covering content distribution? It's like putting together an IM dream team and having them teach a university course. If they could just pull in Frank Kern to discuss listbuilding and email marketing, it'd be all the education you'd ever need to really take your IM to the pro level.

I've seen quite a few people on here spend $2K on WSOs over a few months and seem pretty damn satisfied, at least by the glowing reviews that they leave in thread after thread. I'd be willing to hazard a guess that their $2000 would have been better spent on training from a genuine expert in a given field. When said expert happens to be the #1 authority on that field, well, it's hard to imagine the money as wasted.

Excellent, excellent, excellent post, Chris!!! I watched all of the free videos at least three times and downloaded them too. Unfortunately the Little Boss video won't play on Media Player and I'm kind of ticked off now because the free vids are gone!

(If anyone can help me with this, I'd be forever grateful!!)

Anyway, when I got to the last video, I watched it the whole way through. Let me say this -

I've spent thousands in college tuition and in less than one half-hour video I learned more about PowerPoint than I did in freaking nine months of a PowerPoint course in college!!!

Would I pay $2K on this program to learn the ins and outs of video production? You Bet Your A$$ I Would! I KNOW what the cost of education is - GOOD, solid education. I'm still paying on some of my college tuition yet and I'm 50+ years old!

I'm not a newbie to the Internet by any shade of the imagination; I've watched way-too-many-to-count videos and hype and all that crap during my 15+ years online.

But when I watched these videos - WOW! No, you would not be able to learn all of that in college and you'd be paying a hell of a lot more than $2000 even at the community college level to learn what you'd get in that course.

Oh hell yeah, it's worth every freaking dime and if I had the money, I'd do it!

However, I'm in the #1 spot on that last video - I need to use the free stuff first and make some $.

If I had an extra $2K just sitting around, oh yeah, I'd have grabbed my credit card at the end of that video and paid for the program in a heartbeat.

But anyway, that's my take on the videos and what I would anticipate the entire course to be like.

Like I said, if you were going to try to come anywhere close to learning in school, even a business school, not full-on college, what he's teaching in that course, you'd probably be laying out 3x + that amount over time. Granted, you could get some of that paid for in scholarships, grants and loans, but you'd have to take multiple classes and they're not going to teach you real-world what to do with the info once you're done.

But anyway - did anyone here download the videos and actually get them to play? I'm running Win7 on a brand new computer but Win Media Player says something about a codec and it won't load the video.

I just checked my downloads - they work fine on Windows 7 and with Windows Media Player.

Frankly, if anyone is in for a quick buck, Video Boss isn't the right tool. Try the Lottery or something. Not having seen the inside of the course, just judging by the pre-launch freebies and no.4, it's probably worth every penny if you intend to use it professionally for IM. It looks like he's got everything covered you would ever need.

Having said that, I am sure there is other stuff available that is more than sufficient for most IMers' basic needs to create great viewable videos (yes, he has commented further up the page, so check it out) and at a mere fraction of the Video Boss price. However, it still is a "course" which means people will still have to get down to learning the stuff not just storing it.

Just a thought.

I just wanted to use the free videos to help put together a couple of videos for my sites.

Max, would you mind sending me a compressed copy of JUST the "Little Boss" video? I think that was freebie #2, right? I think something may have happened to mine during the download because the "Traffic Boss" video plays fine. You'll find my email on any of my websites.

Or, I could set you up temporarily on my FTP server and you could upload it. I'd really appreciate it!

I have an easier suggestion. I checked last night: If you go to videoboss.com (the main sales page), an opt-in box drops down after a few moments that will eventually lead you to the freebie videos and the download link. The file is about 100MB which will take ages to upload from my machine. If that doesn't work, PM me and will sort it out.

Thanks Mac!!

As long as he leaves them up for - well - forever, I'll be happy. ROFLMAO!! When I right click on the links, they want to save as .htm files which won't open in Media Player. But I'm perfectly happy to watch them online, as long as I can access them. :-)

Oh, and sorry but I can't PM through the site here; I'm not a paid member yet so I don't have that access.

Everything I saw Andy do in his videos (which are great) I learned at my local community college film and video production program. $40 per semester with an instructor there in person and state of the art software, computers and studio.

Just saying, FYI.

Which is great if you can afford to go back to school, which I can't.

If anyone is taking the video boss course, this might be suitable for you. Amazon have got a special offer on sony HD Platinum Movie Studio video editing suite. I don't know how long this offer will last, but get one while they are so super cheap.
