Newly launched ConsultingIncome.com

Posted on 2011/10/16 by Mark Edmunds

You may not of heard much from us at ShootingBusiness recently…. this is simply because we’ve been in product creation mode.

With fellow Internet Marketer Raglan Tribe, we’ve launched a product called Consulting Income which is all about catapulting your consulting career in just 7 easy steps and discovering how to turn casual discussions into lucrative consulting contracts.

Not wanting to give anything away, the price of the product is enough to make you “think” before buying it. So as the visitors to the Consulting Income website do not know Raglan, there is a launch sequence which introduces his background, gives them some free and very useful tips on getting clients without the gut wrenching pain of cold calling. Only after he has built a relationship with the view, which is what video is all about, does he then make the sales offer.

I’d recommend signing up and watching the launch sequence just to see the how a good launch sequence should be formated.

How important is YouTube to your business?

Posted on 2011/09/21 by Mark Edmunds

7 billion views a day world wide. 30 million people in the UK go there every month. And it’s a site owned by Google.

If you are not using YouTube to promote your business, you are missing out.

YouTube is powerful for TWO reasons.

First, it is a resource which is used by people to search for answers. Yes, you can see many videos of cute cats and fireworks where they shouldn’t be however it is also a resource to find stuff. In fact so many people search on it, that it is often described as the second biggest search engine.

However, this is not the main reason why you should consider YouTube. The real reason why YouTube is so important is because of “who” owns it. Google.

This means that if you do your research properly and ‘announce’ your video in the right way, you can dominate a search term and be on the first page of Google within hours. So, what would getting to the top of Google within hours do for your business?

Something different: An interactive music video controlled by the weather…

Posted on 2011/09/15 by Mark Edmunds

Whilst getting ready for tomorrows 3rd Friday Seminar on Interactive YouTube Marketing, I came across a music website with a difference.

Next time you want to know what the weather is doing and be entertained at the same time, have a look at http://www.lissie.com/weather.

If you are like me, you’ll be scrolling around the map trying to find all the different weather patterns.  And remember, beware the cheeky raindrops and keep all pets indoors.

 

straight-talking Midwestern girl, all flaxen hair and big blue eyes, and this girl is smart and gutsy and tough, with a big old voice to match it: Laurel Canyon prettiness stewed in campfire and bourbon.

Customer video: “ACT-On Solutions”

Posted on 2011/09/05 by Mark Edmunds

Paul Newton and Val Down recently came into the studio to film a series of videos for their website. We created a video for every page which, once embedded, will increase the ranking of each individual page which will increase the chances of their website being found. Also, people buy from people so viewers can instantly identify with both Paul and Val and are more likely to pick up the phone or email Val for more information.

Claire Butcher, from Clarify Training wanted a video for the System page on her website www.ClarifyTraining.co.uk.

The video simply echos the the page it’s going on to.  However it also introduces Claire to her viewers so that they can meet her before picking up the phone to find out more.  It’s all about “people buy from people”.

Something a little different. Is it TV, is it a computer game, is it social media?

Posted on 2011/08/02 by Mark Edmunds

Christina Perasso is trapped in a room with just access to Facebook and with the help of her friends, family and “you” she might just be able to find her way out…..

The Inside Experience is a Social Film experience bought to you by Intel and Toshiba as product placement advertising Holloywood class feature. A great way of indirectly advertising the Toshiba Satellite P775 i7 laptop – if they can get a good following.

I’ve watched the first couple of 6 minute episodes and they seem intriguing though don’t think too much as a a quick lookup of the ip address will pretty much give her location…..

Simply check out this video to learn more about the making of it and go to http://www.theinsideexperience.com/ to find out more, watch the series, interact with Christina on Facebook and even get a chance to be involved.

An interesting marketing concept…. Would love to know what effect it has on their sales.

Zappos: videos galore

Posted on 2011/07/27 by Mark Edmunds

I often mention Zappos when I talk about video and how it’s used to increase sales conversion and keep people on a site for longer.

Zappos, an online shoe and accessory retailer, heavily utilise simple “real world” product videos of people just talking about their products as part of their online marketing strategy.

Nothing flash, just simple videos.

According to Mark Robertson, a video seo consultant for Zappos, they produced nearly sixty thousand videos in house last year. This year they plan to increase it to over one hundred thousand.

And you’d understand why if you read through the following article. Mark attributes a whooping “$551,731 increase in revenues due to its video SEO efforts every month”.
