We have a few people here in Houston that are starting to set up training videos, but they're not doing a great job. Would appreciate some additional thoughts.

Could you do a screen capture video that shows the vendor's sales letter and talks about the benefits of the product? Or do you have to do a video of yourself talking?

Yes, I'll probably HAVE to give it a try (sad grin)... But I can't for the life of me understand why people rather watch a 5 minutes video than read 30 seconds of text! When a sales page, landing page or any other marketing page expects me to watch a video, I rarely do so. It simply doesn't work for me, even stronger: any sales person that requires me to spend 5, 6 or 7 minutes on watching his message instead of the 40 or 50 seconds it would take me reading the same, irritates the heck out of me. That's my attitude towards buying: I haven't bought anything through a video yet - simply becasuse I don't watch the bloody things. However, as far as my attitude towards selling is concerned: I agree with you that I will soon HAVE to give in and put some videos on! If the punters want to watch colored moving pictures... well... who am I to deny them the joy (grin)?! Be well! Jaap Verduijn, The Netherlands. Hi Derek!

Secondly, not only did I say to use video on your actual landing page, but its a great way to increase traffic to your affiliate site. I have a youtube channel where I do video tips and tricks on a subject and have currently over 5,000 subscribers to that channel, which I can use to leverage to send traffic to my site. Of course video doesn't work on every landing page and with every niche, but it can increase your conversions if used properly. Give it a try, you may be surprised!

I don't use videos in my affiliate marketing, and it seriously bothers me when marketers do it when trying to sell ME something! It goes like: "Watch this 5 minutes video", and when I do, I find that READING the stuff would have taken me 30 seconds or something like that. I consider videos on sales pages a waste of time (the PROSPECTS time!), and I sure will not do it to my own clients. However, lots of marketers see this differently, and since most of them earn much more than I do, I guess there must be SOMETHING useful in the video concept. But personally I found that watching a video takes about ten times as long as reading a text that explains the same. Be well! Jaap Verduijn, The Netherlands. Greetings all!
