I was afraid to spend funds I could not really use but

it was a good investment replacing my 7 year old DEAD

computer with a wal-mart cheapie, it paid for itself

in EIGHT days. :-)

 

I had to put my fundraiser/firesale on hold because

I have a little over 30 days to FILE for my bankruptcy

before I go to court on December 10. I was trying all

I could do NOT to have to file but there really is no

alternative. I am still also running my brick & mortar

store that helped me get so much int credit card debt,

hoping to sell off some of the inventory and praying

that Christmas shoppers will realize what great

bargains and how many great gifts I DO have there.

Using Videos in Viral Marketing

 

 

More and more advertisers are using video as broadband

continues to rise and ad-serving technologies become more

sophisticated. Online video advertising is really taking off.

 

Users’ attention can be captured and ads stand out from the

crowd in an increasingly ad-cluttered online environment.

It is true that video formats cost five to ten times more

to serve than standard banners and they involve a lot more

production and implementation work but they may well be

worth all of that if they achieve greater response rates.

 

Where to use online video if wishing to maximize its effect,

is what advertisers must carefully consider. Video to be used

on the Internet should be information and communication focused

while video to be used on television should be focused on

entertainment.

 

Like everything else, there are good and bad ways to use

video advertising. Right now most marketers are incorporating

their audio-visual content into existing embedded ad formats

like banners or over-content formats like pop-ups. Though this

could reach a potentially large audience, viewers are likely to

be less captivated and more annoyed by these disruptive

and distracting placements.

 

Cached or streaming video on a specific destination site offers

the best chance of interesting consumers in brand messages,

but it is not likely to reach a large audience unless it

generates a viral outcome.

 

Whatever you come up with, don't forget to make it easy

to open and distribute. File size is important, as is

the media format. If your viral video has been created

for a particular type of software that not many people

use, how will you get people to spread it like wildfire?

 

Also, if you've made a video the impact will be better if

you send the clip as an attachment rather than stream it.

It's cheaper and, if you're not hosting it, it's more viral, too.

 

 

Now is the time to master business blogging and put it to use

for you! Do it before other proactive business owners step into

your ideal niche and muscle you out of this primetime opportunity.

Jan --

 

I want to thank you for coming to my rescue the other night

when I was about to launch my new POSITIVITYMasterMind.com website!

 

I really wanted to get it up that night but I also knew I had

worked on it too long to find do my own proofreading!

 

Then I remembered YOU! I DM'd you on Twitter -- you responded

almost instantly -- and very shortly thereafter you provided me

with a list of corrections I needed -- BING BANG BOOM  I was up

and running!

 

You are a ROCK STAR and I ADORE working with you!

Your charges for your service are extremely reasonable

but more importantly --  You always have a bright and

helpful attitude and we all know that is PRICELESS! : )

 

 

Blessings!
