Help! How Do You Handle Video Marketing For Your Clients! Pls

Whew!! Ok. Down to the last of my savings-last $400. Rent is $2000 yikes!. And I just brokeup with my Boyfriend...Yea!!!!! Finally ready to get started. Just need some clarity.

I've purchased and read so many WSO's the past month, but still can't quite get it.

I want to focus on video marketing. I love Final Cut Pro and shooting. I've finally amassed a few clips of my work. Not the best, but a start. Each has been better than the last.

But I really want to offer value to my clients and I think lead generation is going benefit them in addition to the traffic from the video.

My Offer
I want to create a video and a squeeze page for them. This also entails keyword research, 2 articles, and an aweber account.

Not sure of the pricing but I'm desperate for money will probably charge $500 a month. Recurring being video + video promotion +keyword +bookmarking

Questions--Please answer these
Do I use my credit card for the aweber, domain name, and hosting account or do I have the client sign up using their credit card?

If I use my credit card then do I sell them the accounts if they don't want to continue with me anymore, if so how much for domain name, aweber account, hosting account, social bookmarketing accounts, video uploading accounts.

Is it stupid to drive all the traffic to the "lead generating site" that I create or better to drive it to their exisiting site.
(Working with a free person now, and they don't want me to touch there site and won't pay anyone to optimize it for them;( so I'm just curious how to avoid this resistance in the future.

How do you handle clients with existing sites?
Do I give them the squeeze page to upload themselves or have their webmaster to do it or do I do it. I really don't want to touch anyone's site given my low knowledge. I'm great with wordpress which is what I'd like to offer.

Squeeze Page creation?
What do you use. I found a html template that works pretty well when uploaded to the root directory of the site.

Side note: I keep reading about Ping.fm but what do I ping. The video urls that I've submitted to multiple sites.

Thank you all for your help. I can't wait to offer my first WSO. I've learned so much here and am so grateful for you all.

But now it's time to take action. Just hope I don't get too scraped up along the way

    You use YOUR aweber account - period. Then if they want to use your list to generate business - CHARGE THEM. Of course you will be the one owning your list but you can send mail for them.

    Video Marketing, to me anyway, is pretty easy.

    You just have to target a video for the keywords. Name the video file the keyword, name the video the keyword, put the keyword in the description, and then broadcast it on Tubemogul.

    you'll be on page 1 of G within a few minutes usually.

    Show them THAT and then see what they have to say!

    Let them sign up through your aweber Affiliate link using their CC if you want or do what winebuddy suggest

    Driving traffic to the Lead Generation Site is a lot better for both you and the client.
    - leads captured can be a measurement of your work
    - you can split test your lead generation site

    Are these online or offline clients?

    Depends on the client. You can put all these under your own name, but it leaves them out of control should something happen to you.

    I recommend to my clients to get the accounts in their names, but I give them my affiliate links.


    If I use my credit card then do I sell them the accounts if they don't want to continue with me anymore, if so how much for domain name, aweber account, hosting account, social bookmarketing accounts, video uploading accounts.

    You need to show them why their current site sucks. Assure them the changes you make will not be physically different in appearance.

    Then let it be known that (wordpress) is your specialty. Are you afraid of ftp? recognizing files on a host? Get over your phobia, and in the mean time find someone you can connect with who will not be afraid of loading files. I also convince people to change their current hosting to a host I'm familiar with (and add that affiliate link again )

    Really simple video squeeze page. Ping (I believe) is for managing several social media sites at once? So you post to ping and it goes to facebook, twitter, etc - (I think)

    The video squeeze can go anywhere on the site, and just drive some traffic to it.

    Thank you all so much for clearing it up.

    I've stopped buying WSO. Really. I'm going cold turkey!

    I'm doing Offline Marketing. I hope marketing is good. TurnHere is the biggest competition but they only make video brochures and don't help owner promote video. I'd feel too guilty taking money without delivering value.

    Thank you all.
