FREE Gift That Took Me a LONG Time To make..!

58 replies
Hey folks,

I spent a LOT of time making this video, so put it to good use.

No opt in or catch - was going to SELL it originally but know many of you need help getting your first client, this will help.

Create a list, target the business owners via email or mail and direct them to a squeeze page with this video, then add an opt in form next to it. You will look Much more professional than those people using the animoto videos out there .

Live Example with music:


Download without music: Download

You may not sell this video, it is for personal use only. If you are found selling it - I will have to kick arse. Enjoy!

Let me know how you get on.

Best,
Steve

      Very nice and to the point video. Well done. It also gives me an idea about using video to offer to clients as an add on service... or even do a video course for them to do some of the simple tasks them selves

    It is a very nice video. One small point however, there is never an acceptable use for two periods, and you did this a lot. Ellipses are always three periods. I would suggest you update it just because, while many won't notice it, many people will and immediately be turned off by this.

    Awesome video Steve! Very "clean", I like it! It is probably better that you didn't try to sell it, at least on here at the WarriorForum, in my opinion. This is not because I believe it is not worth selling, just the opposite in fact. I believe it to be easily worth several hundred dollars MINIMUM.

    Based on a few of the responses I got from my recent QR code promo video WSO, I just don't think most people on this forum recognize or value the amount of time, knowledge, and skill that goes into creating a professional-quality video with a professional video editing suite like Adobe. I personally have no problem using fiverr and animoto-like services for mass producing videos and syndicating for backlinking purposes for both myself and my own clients, but I am not going to turn around and use these same types of videos as a primary "front and center" avenue to attract, educate, and get more clients.

    In the online community, video and video services are simply a commodity at this point. In the offline world, this type of work is HUGELY respected and is usually a pretty lucrative career choice. I had a little bit of hope that some here really do see the value in GOOD video promos after witnessing the success of my "3 Benefits in 3 Minutes" offline video series on this forum the past few months, but for the most part it is just not worth even offering video solutions like my videos and yours on here anymore I feel.

    It is and has been obvious to me for quite some time that offline is where the $$$/value/respect is, but I'm surprised people don't even wan't to pay more than 5-10 bucks for this type of stuff anymore. A professional-quality customized HD promotional Video has now been essentially reduced to having the same value as a 500-word article to most people on here.

    I am not saying there is something inherently wrong with believing this (it is what it is). It was just an eye-opener for me recently, and a real "deal-closer" as far as whether I'll be offering some of my other video promos I've developed for my own business for sale on here. I'd rather let people keep using the fiverr videos to promote their services. And as I've come to believe recently, we certainly don't stand to gain any significant extra revenue by offering our videos and video services here it appears.

    For example, a video like yours above that was designed to advertise an offline business and they use it on their website, social media, even local tv, etc....well that would go for a pretty penny just about anywhere OFFLINE. Your professional video above, if designed to advertise any service business, would be worth thousands to a local business owner, easily. A business owner would see the value and it is doubtful they are going to be like "well I could just get the same thing done on fiverr and animoto, same quality and everything, etc".

    Just my two cents and a bit of a rant I suppose. Thank you again for offering the video for free.

    - Jim

    You are welcome warriors.

    Sorry for not replying all day, been very busy which is a good thing!

    Yes jsherlock I know, I had originally made the video to sell at $47 (LOL) but nobody seemed interested although this free one has been downloaded over 60 times in a day?

    Offline is where it is at my friend! Don't waste time educating, just go to the ones who already know or you will just burn out and get frustrated. It doesn't mean those who don't value it are "wrong" conceptually, the fact is it doesn't matter. Find your market and GIVE - that would be my advice to you.

    Do a super dooper (yes, I did say super dooper) Video for a big restaurant or similar type of business in your area with your credits, number and url on the end of the video maybe. You might get competitors call or a local biz owner who sees it.

    I had a guy on here want the video in my sig for next to nothing AND to be able to resell the video as a template on wf and cb etc. Then he got annoyed when I said no! Crazy imo, but then what can you do? Get annoyed? No thx..(.)

    I will use what I know about vids as a tool for offline clients, if they need one or could benefit from them. Speaking to a dentist tomorrow who contacted me and another company who I am speaking to on Thursday. HD vids (not animoto or camtasia) can be great upsells.

    What I want to do is have massive QR code posters that direct to mobile websites with a specific video on there and opt in form. Not tried it but might be a great way to run certain promos for clients, just an idea I want to try and will cost me nothing to do other than time (the dentist I am speaking to tomorrow has a competition on to win free veneers but is marketing it terribly).

    If enough people want me to make another video with 3 periods in it (...) then If I get time tomorrow night I will render another 720p video for you guys. They just take a while to render is all.

    If you use the video and have success with it, remember to come back and tell other Warriors how you did it and maybe it will help them get going in the offline arena.

    The video above is for selling Google Places listings really, opt in form on the right with name and tel number then call the business owner with the number he leaves you with. Direct them to the squeeze page from mail campaigns or even qr codes on business cards at your local chamber meeting.

    Have fun and good luck.

    Best,
    Steve

    This is an outstanding video Steve! Thank you very much for freely giving this as a gift to everyone here. I am actually quite particular about video which is why I haven't really picked up on many video offers around here at the WF. This however is very clean and well done and conveys a perfect message. I really like the music track you chose too =p

    I'm downloading but I'm also very interested in paying you to have this video branded if that's something you may have time for or are interested in. I'm also actually interested possibly having other videos created by you if it's a service you'll do.

    If this is something you can do please let me know and I'll be happy to message you for details and prices.

    Thanks very much again!

      Hi Amir,

      Have replied to your pm.

      Every project on there is my work from scratch, the only on being the social media video I made was based on another video I saw with my own twist on it. Was still made from a blank screen.

      Give me more details and I'll give you a price I can do it for.

      Hi,

      You can download the video from hotfile, Megaupload or Rapidshare I believe, no connection to youtube so you could still own the video for free regardless

      If you need help with something then just give me a shout.

      On the page that opens, scroll down and you will see the services I hosted the video on - click on "one" of those and follow the sites instructions.

          Hi Mike,

          You just change the embed code. So if a HD video is 1280 x 720 pixels then you can change the video to say 640 x 390 to conserve the pixel aspect ratio yet have a smaller video (the width and height of the pixels shrink directly proportionally to each other).

          To add music you can open camtasia, windows movie maker or whatever software you might have.

          I don't use these programs myself, but they are basic software that can allow you to add music to the video and just re-render the video (as I don't own right to sell music I don't own right to).

          Hope that helps,
          Steve

      Hi Steve,

      I downloaded the video. The more I listen to it - the more I love it! Short, effective and very professional.

      I have a couple of questions. (I am not familiar with making videos, but I have someone who can help me.) Is it better to take the downloaded video, add the music and upload to my own site than just imbed the Youtube video? I am using Wordpress. Is there a particular file format I need to use for the video?

      I know how to imbed Youtube videos. I just haven't imbeded or uploaded any other type before.

      Thanks again!

        Hey Kayla,

        You're welcome.

        You can just embed the video above by getting the code from youtube if you like. You can of course add your own contact details etc inside of the video if you are selling Google Places packages.

        If you upload the video elsewhere then you can try screencast.com - they have their own embed feature too.

        Plenty of options!

      Hi James,

      I'm pretty sure it is free. If you go to my first post and hit the download button then you should be able to click on a mirror website, get it straight to your computer and start getting those Google Places Leads in.

      I think you were referring to the video in my signature though? That video is $37 and no it isn't free but try getting a similar video offline and see what they charge you!

      I don't think I'm obligated to give away everything I do for free but as most warriors appreciate the stuff I do give away and take the time to say thanks, I'm sure negative posts won't stop me from continuing to make freebies in the future as long as people still find them useful.

      Enjoy your free video,
      Steve

      Also, I live in England

        Funny how some here will change 500.00 -1000 plus to an offline client but will not pay a few bucks for a quality video...
