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.

The Fear

People become fearful when they are told to give a presentation. The fright of standing in from of a room full of businessmen or colleagues can be very scary to an individual who approaches the act of giving a presentation. The best thing to do is relax, and understand that your presentation is just a more structured way of telling someone or a group of people, the ideas that are in your head.

Brainstorm

Try and take the time to sit back and brainstorm the main ideas of your presentation. What is it that you need to talk about? Are you presenting a new idea to possibly take the place of an old one? Are you trying to get financing from an investor or investors? These questions must be asked and answered by you in order to successful begin the process of building a wonderful and informative presentation.

The Outline

Making an outline is a good place to start, when it comes to crafting your presentation. The outline will act as a blueprint to flushing out all of the important and vital information that you wish to convey. An outline also allows you to speed up your preparation time, as well as govern a more flexible presentation time. There are a few parts to the outline process, and here are some simple items to remember:

1. Decide what your main topic will be, and break that topic down into subtopics. You can view the associated Mind Map to give you a clue of how this is done. For instance, if you are going to give a presentation about starting a business, you would have main topic headings such as, “Benefits,” “Features,” and, “Competition.” Each of these three main topics will have subtopics like, “easy to use product,” “fast delivery” and “Company ABC.” Keep in mind that you can continue to make even more subtopics from the subtopics you’ve already created. Get as detailed as you can, but fill in only the most important information.

2. Structure your outline in a linear fashion, so that you create an order to your presentation. What information should be saved for closing? You must organize your material so that it has the best pacing, and is the most dynamic within the shortest amount of time you can.

3. Ensure you set a time in your mind for how long you want your presentation to be. Some presentations last for only 5 minutes, while others can run for hours. It really depends on the scope and magnitude of the material you plan to present, and the amount of time you have to present it. If you are given 30 minutes to give a presentation, try to sculpt it so that it wraps up in 20 minutes. You want to set your presentation time shorter than the actual given time, because, unconsciously, time slips away from us. In one moment we’re beginning the presentation, and in the next, your timer is going off, alerting you to the windup of your speech.

Visual Aid

Many people prefer to give presentations in many different ways. Some people love to use Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, because they add a more visual appeal to the presentation. History, and sciences tells us that we learn better when they utilize as many of their senses as possible. The more visual aids you have, the better your presentation will turn out. If you don’t know how to use PowerPoint, there are other alternatives available. You can cut out pictures from magazines and past them on craft paper. You can print out pictures and images that best assist your presentation. Above all, make it not only visually appealing, but informative as well.

Voice

After you have drafted up a decent outline, it’s time to write out, on note cards, what you’ll say. Take the most important information from your outline, and place it on the note cards. After you’ve done this, arrange the note cards in a fashion that compliments the same order you arranged with your outline. If you decide to change the order, that’s fine, as long as if flows in a decent manner.

Practice

Once you have your entire note cards set up, flip through them, reading them out loud. What you are trying to do is create a natural flow to your speech. If you notice that you can’t say what is written very smoothly, edit the text on the note card so that it’s the most comfortable for you. Since it’s best to give yourself at least a week before you give a presentation, you should have a decent amount of days to go over your note cards somewhere around three times a day, everyday until presentation time.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall…

Once you have gotten into the groove of delivery; speaking your note cards, begin to stand in front of a mirror and recite them. Take note of your facial gestures. Are you smiling enough? Even if your presentation doesn’t require smiling, you want to make sure you are control of those face muscles nonetheless. Many people look confused and anxious while they give presentations, or completely lethargic. If you can see your body movements, try and pay close attention to them as well. You want to appear relaxed, in control, and confident.

Incorporate as Much as You Can

Remember your visual aids? Well, it’s now time to incorporate them into your presentation. If you have any physical items that relate to your presentation, by all means, include them. For instance, using the business presentation for an example, you could show the product that’s being sold, and the additions they’ve added or something similar. The viewers of your presentation are concerned with understanding your mind, as well as your vision. The best way to do this is to take as much of your vision from your head and bring it into fruition.

Preparation, Practice, Research

Once all of these tips are applied to the preparation of giving your presentation, things will turn out wonderful. Just keep in mind that the more preparation, practice, and research you put into your presentation, the better it will turn out.
