Suggestions Needed For New Video Course

6 replies
Hello,

I'm all set to create my first video course.

In your opinion would it be better to:

1) Create the videos and make them downloadable in .avi, .wmv, etc format

2) Create the videos in .swf format and host them on my website

3) Other

Thanks for your input.

All The Best,


Tony

    I'd say both. Let visitors stream them online, or download them. Same with any audio you offer. Good luck! - Russ

    Ideally from a member's perspective you would do both.

    But, from a marketer's perspective I would host them on your site. That way you get continual traffic to your pages from your members. You then have a better opportunity to get future sales messages in front of them.

    It's also easier at that point to provide them with unannounced bonuses that help to build your reputation for providing great value.

    I run several video sites and it depends on what your going to do with the videos, but in your case with a video course, I would let them watch it online and also let them download as well so they can view anytime they want.
