If you have a blog where you want to reach more people and share your ideas, or an online business where you want more customers; (and who doesn’t want that?) you really need to be creating videos and uploading them for people to view – Video Marketing is BIG!

If you aren’t doing this and your competitors are, then they are taking customers from you that don’t even know you exist. If they aren’t producing video for YouTube or their own sites then you need to make sure you get those customers they are missing.

Compete.com shows YouTube as having 85 million unique visitors July 2009! Imagine for a moment what sort of traffic you would get from a viral video with 100,000 views… 200,000 views…. 1 million views! A certain percentage of those people would visit your site and a percentage of those would sign up for your newsletter or buy something from you.

Now if my math is right, and you get 1 million views for a video and only 3% of those viewers visit your site that is 30 thousand visitors! If only 3% were to opt in or buy your product that’s 900 sales or opt ins! Sound pretty good?

I know it’s very difficult to get a video with 1 million views, but take a look at YouTube and see what videos are that popular. Why are they so popular? What is great about them? It’s not the production value, it’s not because they have celebrities or cost a large amount of money to create.

These videos are crazy popular because they are extremely funny, or cool, or amazing for some reason. The videos can be planned or spontaneous, but they are NOT selling something, they are NOT outwardly trying to get customers or build their mailing list. If you want a video to have a chance at going viral, you can’t be selling in the video; you must let the video sell for you!

In door-to-door sales years ago we had a saying that you should “sell the sizzle, not the steak”. What does this mean to you? If I’m selling plant food for gardeners, do I tell them how wonderful the fertilizer is and how many nutrients are in it? NO! I don’t want to sell the customer on the fertilizer, I sell them on the end result my product gives them: BIG tomatoes, and that’s the sizzle!

Give the viewer something in your videos for free. We are a digital camera repair shop and can’t make videos about how to repair every camera, but your customers are looking for something regarding your business, so find out what it is and give it to them!

Teach them something, give them information they are looking for, entertain them. Become an authority on your topic, and they will love you and gladly tell others about you.

You don’t need professional quality videos, but you do need to make them viewable and understandable.

• You don’t have to have an HD quality camcorder, but make sure that it is good quality and you have plenty of light!
• Make sure to have a good quality microphone. Poor audio will drive away most viewers, guaranteed.
• Use a solid backdrop, don’t show your cluttered basement or office or bedroom unless this is part of your presentation
• Write a script or at least notes regarding what you want to say
• Practice and view your results before publishing it. Ask others for opinions and feedback!
• Everyone hates the sound of their own voice; but that is how we hear you so don’t worry, you sound fine.

Keep going, things will keep getting better along the way!

Now I’m off to try and figure out what my customers are looking for regarding camera repair or more specifially, Canon digital camera repair and then just give it to them.

Lots of people are interested in a home business to make a little extra cash, to help pay the monthly bills, or to create financial freedom and security.

Either way, internet businesses can help you.  The trick is to find a good one; don’t waste time or money chasing empty promises or pipe dreams.

I used the following model to select my internet marketing business – a similar process should work for you as well.

Step 1:  Identify Home Business Opportunities

You can easily surf the Net to identify interesting opportunities and obtain their basic information. Use this checklist to help you narrow down the possibilities.

Step 2:  Evaluate Selected Business Opportunities

1.       Legal?

Avoid things that sound too good to be true – chances are, they are just scams.  .

2.Sought After Product?

Is there a big enough demand for the product?  A lot of home businesses go after small markets that may not be large enough to make you any real money.

What we want is a large, hungry, market that will buy from us now; and buy additional products later as well.

3.High Profits?

Is there a big enough profit to be made by selling this product to make it worthwhile?  After all, there will be a number of start-up and ongoing expenses to consider.

4.Competition?

Make sure you can compete effectively on price.

Similarly, it is very difficult to make a sale if you can’t even get your potential customer’s attention.

5.Adequate Commissions?

Will the proposed commission plan require an army of down line members in order for you to make any profit?Could that really happen?

Is the proposed commission reasonable? Will you get a fair share of the commission?

6.       Labor Intensive?

Personally, I’m looking to remove myself as a bottleneck.I want to remove myself from the success equation.

The best home businesses I’ve seen have systems and processes that will work for you 7x24x365 – whether you’re spending the day at the beach with your kids, laid up in the hospital, or sailing around the world.

7.Qualified Prospects?

Prospects are the critical success factor – you need lots of qualified prospects to succeed.For online businesses, the key is targeted traffic.

Will your up line help send you quality traffic?

8.       Generous Training?

Learn about the product and marketing, in general.Trying to do it all on your own is not the best pathway to success.

So, another key is to make sure that your sponsor provides adequate training.

9.       Technical Support?

Computers are necessary for today’s businesses.  If you’re doing any form of internet marketing, that computer will likely be yours.

For internet marketing businesses, a lot of the technical support will be needed up-front, getting your system set up before you can even start doing the business.You’ll need good technical support.

10.   Customer / Sales Support

Regardless of the product you end up selling, there may be problems, returns, changes, upgrades, etc. involved.You’ll also need adequate back-office support.

Look for businesses that also include customer and sales support.I hate to make cold calls, so sales support from my upline is important to me.

Step 3: Take Action

Winners act; losers don’t.Evaluate the opportunity against this checklist. Don’t wait, act now to secure your future.

Find the Fastest Way to Make Money From Home

To so many people that question is a fairly tough one as at the moment there are an awful lot of people online who are not making money online. In fact it is true to say that there are a great many who cannot even earn enough to cover their daily bills. Let alone give them a lifestyle that many dream of. So not only is it difficult for them, it makes it extremely difficult for their families as well. Working at the computer for many hours at a stretch is not an easy task especially when there is a whole world outside and it is passing you by. For those who are thinking that they will never ever make enough money online to even cover their bills let alone leave their day job, (if they have not left it already!), it may seem like a daunting task indeed. Well I for one can testify that it can be a long hard struggle especially if you have to learn everything and do not have the means to either enlist the help of friends or outsource their work. So the question is can you make money online?.

You need to know yourself what you can offer to people. Understanding how to make money without money depends on how you view yourself. If you are in a situation where you need money right away will be directly correspondent on how resourceful you can be.

Take that same thing and do something with it online and you have a way to make money. You see, the Internet society supports each other far more than the community you live in. Everyone who works at something online is a piece in the cog that keeps the World Wide Web turning and growing.

What you do will depend on how much money you want to make. If you want to start earning money immediately, I suggest you become a secret shopper and start doing paid surveys. Both of the are the fastest way to make money online, but neither of them pays a great deal. But you can do both and still keep hunting for something bigger and better.

When you can do that then you need to see what other people are doing and get ideas or learn from what they are doing. Do not copy or rip anything off but see if there is anything out there that you would like to do then see if it can either be improved or enhanced to make it better than what it is at the moment.

Anyone can accomplish great things online. The more you understand about what makes the Internet spin, the more money you’ll find a way to make. Get excited and put some effort into it and soon you’ll find cash making it’s way to you.

Many people who are interested in starting a home business assume that because the country is in a major recession right now, this is not the time; however, I ask you to consider the facts.

1. As with most of the major life decisions (e.g., getting married, having a child, starting a busines) – there is never a “right” time; there is only today.

2. If you want to get rich, you need to own your own business, as 93% of the already wealthy do.

3. In 2006, Fortune magazine called direct selling, including network marketing, “the best kept secret in the business world” with a 91% growth over the previous 10 years and a market of $30 billion in the United States and $100 billion worldwide. By 2012, that figure is expected to reach $326 billion.

4. Financial experts call it a “recession proof” industry.

5. Warren Buffet called his purchase of a network marketing company the best investment he’d ever made.

6. Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, called it the first truly revolutionary marketing shift in the past 50 years.

7. Home-based businesses don’t feel as much impact from the high costs of gas, parking and children’s daycare.

8. There are significant tax advantages from owning an online business.

9. Internet businesses are generally easy to start. Just bring some basic language skills and the ability to point, click and follow directions.

10. When you have your own online business, you are in control of your financial future – not some “boss” you must impress or hope is not putting your name on the next list of job cuts! The upside is great – you can make a lot of money.

Hundreds of thousands of new businesses will launch in the next 12 months, regardless of the recessionary economy. Shouldn’t you be one of them? Aren’t you ready to leave the 9-5 rat race behind you?

Carpe Diem! Don’t waste any time, seize the day! This is the time to start your own business .

If you market on the Internet for any time at all, you eventually realize that you need a quality subscriber list if you want to be able to make quick cash. After you’ve read numerous reports and asked advice from IM experts you at last decide to give birth to an opt-in list of your own.

That’s when it happens…

You think that you know everything there’s to know in regard to  subscriber lists, have followed the experts advice to the T and, even so, you still were not able to earn a profit.

In fact, you very well may be going further in the red. You may be contracting writers to assist you or there may be additional expenses involved — it all costs money! Even if you have a large list, but only a small percentage actually buy from you, you are still losing profit.

Unless youkeep careful records, you might not see that you are leaking money until after a few weeks when you review your reports and sales totals. By that time it could be too late!

Well, what went wrong? Why could others have success where you have failed?

The most common mistake is that you dove right in. You picked a subject YOU believed would be quite in demand and would generate lots of money.

This isn’t how it works. Just because YOU thought the market would desire your product does not mean the market will want to buy it. It’s not about you. Remember, your prospect — no matter who he or she is — is always tuned-in to the same station : WII.FM (What’s In It For Me?)

Here is a little important advice, if you have started an subscriber list and failed, you might breathe life back into your failed undertaking. Here’s 3 quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.

1) Get your prospects to trust you and your products first. Just having an opt-in list does not elevate you to a guru and a believable seller. Post many reports first before you start to build an opt-in list. Write about subject you know. Post to and participate in forums to learn about your prospective marketplace and about their wants and needs. Target those wants and needs.

Provide expert advice and recommendations on other forums as well. When you feel that people trust you, you will be able to start your own subscriber list. You can build a subscriber base as well with others you’ve met in these various locations. You might ask them to opt-in to your list. Friends are always good subscribers. Put up a link to your domain so that they can see what your business is all about. You can make quick cash if you do your homework first.

The truth is, the money will only come in when prospects get to know you. They want value in exchange for their investment. People are not going to buy something on your say so if they don’t believe in you.

2) Offer something that prospects really want . Although it may not be your strong point, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about, you can succeed. 

3) Make friends with other subscriber list marketers. These are people that have the experience in this type of venture. Nothing takes the place of experience. While there are many articles available for you on the internet, nothing campares to getting it straight from the source — from an expert you know.

Knowledgeable opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and — just as importantly — what NOT to do because they have experienced it firsthand. Although different situations occur for different people, the general concepts can still be very helpful.

Building a profitable opt-in list don’t happen automatically. The best opt-in lists are built from scratch. Get help if need be. Be sure that your list is happy and satisfied and they will insure that you to make quick cash!
