That would be awesome Daniel!

Not sure what you mean by "engage" but I'll take a stab since I hadn't gotten around to purchasing your book yet... I'm guessing how to get started for free?

Assuming this is a total newb, learn about video by watching some for starters. See what others do and mimic them until you develop a style of your own. Go to Youtube, Metacafe, etc.. and browse the top played vids to get an idea of what captures people for one reason or another. Check the serp's on some vids to see how certain people effectively use keywords differently to obtain ranking and market their video.

Also, be sure to note of how successful certain vids are of "ensuring" users click the resource boxes, ctr, and so on.... Whether this is from pointing during the vid, text over vid, closing credits with call to action, whatever.

At this point, you should have a general idea of what YOU would like to do. Maybe you want to make some text slides and just talk through them, without videoing your self for the first time. Whatever you choose, I would highly recommend getting Sony Vegas, as it comes with a thirty day trial, so you can be on your way to marketing with video for free. This is a matter of opinion, as some will say just use Movie Maker or whatever, but IMHO, if you're going to learn a platform, Sony Vegas is the way to go.

Explaining video creation here is way to broad. We'll assume you're going to pull in some slides, add some effects or music, talk a bit about what you have to offer, and most of all, verbally issue a call to action at some point in time. It would be recommended to convert your video to FLV format for faster uploading times.

Upload to various sites of your choice.

Pull your Youtube feed and submit to rss sites. Go where your topic is being discussed and make it known you found a great video to help explain "whatever." Links, links, links....articles, blogs, etc...

Keep in mind, at any time, you can harness whatever power your vids are pulling by changing the "more info" box (youtube) to a more compelling offer or tweak it into a more appealing solution for your target's need.

I'm going to stop here, as this is just skimming through and I don't even know if this is what you were asking.

Thank you very much. I just got the PM and have now sent the email.

[Daniel Molano]

The first 20 copies have been won! Reply #20 was warrior factotum

I have sent you all 20 a PM with the instructions on how to claim your free copy! Don't worry, you won't be added to any lists or anything of that sort.

For those that were not the first 20 to reply, you can still get a free copy if you make a killer video marketing advice post, directed to newbies who don't know anything about video marketing.

Congratulations to the first 20!

[Andy Hart]

Yes that works!

But you already got a free copy! LOL

[Marc2008]

WOW dag Dan. I brought your book a week ago and now you are giving it away. Looks like I should have waited.

[threeg5]

Dang # 34. I knew I should've logged in to the warrior forum instead of watching football today.

[Asher]

Hi Marc2008,

If you've got the book a week ago - it simply means you've got a week's head start on getting the strategies to work for you!

You shouldn't have waited because this is Daniel's product. He has the right to choose what he wanted to do with it. What if he never had this?

Enjoy the product and put the strategies in place for yourself. I've very quickly skimmed through it and they are solid stuff that are proven to work. All free stuff and all workable - just need to stick with it!

Asher

[Tom Sheltraw]

I'm in too!

Thanks,

Tom

It might, now just post about how you could use it to promote a product and you might get 1 of the remaining 5 free copies.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but since it's free I guess I am.

I can't see any reason why you would not be allowed to Daniel but giving the book away simply for making a post after other Warriors paid you for the product, well It doesn't sit well with me and I wouldn't be in a hurry to put money in your pocket again.

Giving away 5 copies in exchange for advice, seems fair, giving it away for no reason after people have paid you good money, its not a great way to build a lasting relationship between you and your customers.

[Davan]

Wow,
I should really learn to use spell-check before posting. Sorry. I am also sorry that this entire site pasted instead of just the photo program. The guy writes his own programs so others on the site may be useful as well. And no, I am not an affiliate. I just bookmarked the site months ago while searching for neat stuff to implement someday. You may have noticed that I am truly a nubie, became a member today as a mater of fact. I posted an avatar but it hasn’t shown up yet. I don't even have a hyperlink in my sig yet.
Thank for everything,
Dave

ok, as far as video marketing goes I have a little trick I use. Some people might consider it a little grey hat but it does work for extra traffic.

I have found its hard to get traffic through youtube, so I started thinking of the best way to do so. I noticed that all of the videos with girls on it got alot of views.

In all honesty I have only used this for personal videos (as im am an actor also) and it has given me over 500,000 views on some videos. I did it for exposure and have not tried it for making money online yet or anything like that.

I suppose this would work best for some like making profits from adsense. But anyways all I simply did was find a picture of a pretty girl and insert the pic in the exact middle of the video (because this is the pic that youtube puts as the main video icon.)

So simply create your video and split it halfway in the middle and insert a picture of a pretty girl and you will see your traffic spike. Now title the video something like "hot girl dances" or even your orginal title plus "hot girl dancing."

Basically your just getting all the guys searching for pretty girls on youtube, this works well for exposure but I have never tried it for making money. None the less you can get some major traffic from this method, although its not targeted. But if you can figure out a way to use this traffic it always brings me at least 100k vistors to 500k.

The time frame is from only days to months to when all of the traffic comes in. I remember one time my video had over 10,000 views within the first 8 hours of uploading it, but then others it takes a week before you even see your first few thousand views. But I do this for exposure to help with my acting career, so hope this helps someone

People like John Reese (With Traffic Secrets 2.0) have done this before, for products that cost 10x more than what my e-book costs. Right here, in the WF as well. After they have sold thousands also.

I'm just giving back to the community after the community has helped my success quite a lot.

If you want to bash my give away, you might as well bash on the thousands of marketers and companies (online and offline) that give away their products after they have sold many.

Great, this is what I get for being nice and giving some stuff away.

[James Campbell]

Free is good.

I'd like a copy if I could snag one

Best Regards,
James

Here's a cost effective video marketing tip:

1. Create a powerpoint presentation of your article/review/sales presentation.
2. Use iSpring Free | Free PowerPoint to Flash Converter to convert to flash.
3. Upload your new flash movie to the web.
4. (Upload your slide show to SlideShare is the best place to share powerpoint presentations)

Is that worth a free copy???

Why video marketing:

The attention span of today's internet user is remarkably short. Places like YouTube take advantage of this and thus have become immensely popular.

The idea behind video marketing is to serve as a welcome mat, an invitation for the watcher to explore your site or other videos further.

This website claims that a successful video comes down to this formula:

"Secret Formula" - .50C + .15M + .20T + .15P = Success

50% content
15% metadata
20% Thumbnail
15% Promotion

Good content means many different things:
*Keep it short (as possible)
*Inform the watchers upfront that the video will be short and only take a moment of their time (not necessary, but a simple trick nonetheless)
*Use relevant visuals. Record yourself talking (webcam) or record your desktop while (for example) giving a tutorial on how to use a certain program or implement an IM method.

Metadata comes down to the tags you use and can help is youtube search rankings. Further metadata can be added to the video itself, although this is may be considered a more advanced topic. See here for a tutorial.

Thumbnails can be a killer. It's already been mentioned, but a thumbnail of a hot chick instantly improves view count. In youtube, simply make the 1/2 point of your video a still of a model or some other eye-grabbing picture.

Promotion can mean many things. Basic article marketing (to get backlinks to your video) or even better you can use the social functions of sites like youtube (add friends, subscribers, etc) to promote your videos. See here for an example: Search Marketing Standard Blog | Video Marketing on YouTube.com

Other simple tricks include adding a watermark to your video, ending your video with a call-to-action, and adding appropriate links in the video info box.

Good one avratz, you get the 3rd.
