Converting ebooks to video tutorials. What you think?

I am skills in Screencasting tools, have some fancy video editing tools and for voice overs.

If I was to hook up with other marketeers who have existing ebooks do you think this would fly?

I added audio commentary (no video) to my warcraft guide and refunds have fallen to almost nothing. People love any type of medium that connects with you more than just written words. Videos work even better just take more time on your end to prepare them in such a way that everyone viewing will be able to see them.

Hey Azzam - I've been flirting with a similar idea and where I've been getting hung up is on the pricing. I'f I were creating a video product for myself, I could sell it over and over and justify the time spent. But doing it for someone else, I can only collect a one time fee - so what would the market be willing to pay vs is it worth my time - that's what I've been wrestling with.

Thanks

Definitely can not be a one-off fee. You are looking for long term return and not a one off. It has to be a JV to justify it. I think once you create the first one and gather all the stats it will prove easy to get more deals after that.

1) Pick a sure fire ebook that is sure to convert well if sold as video.
2) Make sure all the statistic are collected in a format that is presentable to the next potential JV.
3) Log the process.

Just some thoughts.

I am good with design, coding, etc. I think I should be able to pull this off that makes one think wow

lol.

Thanks

Excellent idea. Personally I respond to videos far better than a pdf. I think they are the way forward for sure.

  For sure man. Think about how many people don't have the money, time, and skills to make videos but want to. You could totally hook up with somebody like that and combine your talents.
