The Easiest Way To Create Video - Marketing With Audio And Video

The easiest way to create video is to "plug-and-play" with a web cam or a flip video camera. They are great for creating a short clip to upload to the internet. However, what if you want to create something a little longer than a minute or 2? The easiest method is to record multiple, short clips and combine them together with a simple video mixer. That's what we will discuss today during this video excerpt from the http://MarketingWithAudioAndVideo.com show.

Marketing with Sweepstakes And User Generated Video, Part 2 - Marketing With Audio And Video

In this second Marketing With Audio And Video excerpt, learn about multimedia marketing combined with Sweepstakes. Penny Haynes interviews Carolyn Wilman, the Contest Queen (http://ContestQueen.com), and they discuss how Amtrak didn't do back end marketing and ended up having one of their own contestants arrested. Getting Consumer Generated Video from contestants helps increase involvement and visibility, especially with video. Once you do decide to put audio and video on your web site, make sure that people can find it on your site, and also utilize RSS to syndicate the media for more visibility.

Podcasting For The Long Tail (Long Sales Cycle) - Marketing With Audio And Video

Learn how podcasting can assist the long tail of your sales cycle in today's excerpt from http://MarketingWithAudioAndVideo.com. Chuck Rathman of IFS shares how his $350 million company uses podcasting to inform his potential clients (especially the influencers of his end users), and also allows these clients to do due diligence on the product and the company before purchasing. With a 7-digit price tag, a sale may take years to consummate, so keeping potential clients interested is important over the long haul.

Simple Video Shows vs. Complicated Videos, Marketing With Audio And Video

In this last excerpt from the Marketing With Audio And Video show with Andrew Lock of http://HelpMyBusiness.com, we talk about the difference between creating simple and complicated videos, and how you don't have to do anything complicated to create a popular show. We take a look at Gary Vaynerchuk's wildly popular Wine Library TV as an example - one camera, one shot, 20 minutes, and he's done - and nobody's complaining about it. Maybe because he's worth $50 million???

I've started a new contest to help motivate people to share the free 30-page excerpt from "101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business)". I'm giving away over $6,000 worth of prizes just for helping me spread the word about the book. Everyone has a chance to win something.

Get Sales Information PLUS over $2200+ in bonuses INCLUDING 30 days of help from me

I don't do this kind of stuff - you guys should know enough about me by now. But Terri Levine is a sales MACHINE. This woman KNOWS how to sell, from small to (especially impressive) HUGE price points. If you want to learn the secret (I hate that word, but effective sales IS a secret to most of us, including to me) of making sales, then Terri would be the woman to learn from.

The bottom line is that she just released a book called Sell Without Selling: Lessons from the Jungle for Sales Success. It's ONLY $11.86 - that's it. At that price, even stingy ME will buy it, which is the only reason why I am participating in the promotion of this book. I won't tell you about it unless I'm willing to buy it myself and I think it is a great value.

And if you are someone who loves value and lots of bonuses, this book comes with over $2250 worth of bonuses. Part of that value is 30 days of help from me with your audio and video projects. That's right, if you haven't signed up for the Commercial Creation Center yet, which is where I offer personal assistance along with my simple software to help you create and market with audio and video, then this would be the perfect time to give it a shot.

In addition, you will get my 30 page excerpt from "101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business)", which will give you a ton of information about what to do with your audio and video once we create it.

The Psychology Behind Segments In Your Video - Marketing With Audio And Video

In today's Marketing With Audio And Video show, Andrew Lock shares the psychology behind the way he segments his show. I invite you to check out Andrew's fabulous marketing show("Help! My Business Sucks!") at http://www.HelpMyBusiness.com. His latest show is hysterical, as he goes a little off topic about movie trailers ruining movies, and a lady who thinks you have to dress up to go to Walmart.

Andrew's experience in television helped him determine the best sequence of segments in his show, starting with a headline, moving into chit chat, getting audience participation, and then going into the heavier information and lessons. His emphasis always is, however, on entertaining, which is how he attributes his #1 status on iTunes. I love to watch him because I always learn something, but I laugh basically all the way through the show. Plus, he's brutally honest in the Listener Questions section, even when it hurts - but it ALWAYS helps.

Do you have segments in YOUR audio or video show? If so, what are they and what is your thinking behind doing them? Do they help or hinder? Have you learned from them and changed them along the way? I'd love to hear from you about it, so please leave a comment below to share what you have learned.

Again, I invite you to download the free 30-page excerpt from "101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business)" at http://101ThingsAudioVideo.com. If you know of anyone else that can benefit from this book, please pass the information along to them as well. You can also send them to participate in our show live every Monday night at 9pm EST at http://www.MarketingWithAudioAndVideo.com. This show is brought to you by Penny Haynes and the http://www.CommercialCreationCenter.com, where you get personal assistance from me plus simple software to create and post audio and video to promote your business.

Creating A Script That Sounds Natural (Part 2), Marketing With Audio And Video

In this Marketing With Audio And Video excerpt, Kristy Nichols and I (Penny Haynes) conclude our discussion of how to make natural script writing easy and quick. Some tips include starting small at first with shorter, simpler projects, and using a free teleprompter you can find at http://www.FreePrompter.com.

As a late breaking news brief, I have more proof that marketing with audio and video works, and works well. Tonight, I was contacted by someone from a local radio station who found me by searching on Google. He followed the breadcrumbs, and went from site to site of mine, and called me immediately about possibly being interviewed on an early morning radio show talking about podcasting and online video, and also possibly helping their sales force use online audio and video to better produce and make their presentations with the Commercial Creation Center.

Now, all I am doing is posting audio and video, and making sure that I always put a link to my important (or relevant) sites. Doing it on a consistent basis helps me stay at the top of search engine rankings. You NEVER know who may run across you while they are researching a topic.

So, as I have said before, put a link back to your business in EVERY POST. It bolsters your search engine rankings. In my blog feed, I have an automatic "signature", which adds my name and Commercial Creation Center link to the bottom of every post, so I don't have to worry about forgetting it. So everywhere that my blog/podcast is syndicated, there is the link to my business.

Lastly, '101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business) comes out next week, come hell or high water (which means with or without graphics, in my case). I just want to get the show on the road, and get this book into the hands of people who are struggling to build their business, and show them that it can be quick, easy and inexpensive to do it.

Looking for 10 Sponsors For the '101 Things To Do With Audio And Video' Free Viral Ebook

101 Things To Do With Audio And Video will have a free viral ebook excerpt & this is how you can be a sponsor.

I am about to release "101 Things To Do With Audio And Video (To Promote Your Business)." I will have a free viral ebook excerpt, and the full version for $19.99. No one has ever done a book on this subject, so I have cornered the market on the topic. Additionally, this topic is generic enough to fit any entrepreneur. I'll be promoting it all throughout 2009.

The point of the ebook, beyond sales of the full version, is to invite people to try the Commercial Creation Center, with which very few of you would be in competition. I help people who have never created audio and video before produce and post multimedia to the internet. I don't offer copy writing, other marketing information, VA services, etc. - I focus on creating multimedia and then posting it to social media and social networking sites. That's all.

I have decided to add 10 sponsor ads to the viral ebook. I already have partners ready to distribute it as a free resource. I will also be doing another Online International Podcasting Expo again this year, and this will be what I will be giving away to registrants. The ads MUST be related to the topics of audio, video, social media, social networking, marketing, business and business resources.

There will not be any competitive ads, so ads will go first-come, first-served per niche. Therefore, if you are a VA who helps people with posting podcasts or doing social media, only one of you will be promoted.

Other great complementary sponsors (apart from a VA) would be

* Copy writers, or people who help people with copy writing
* Info product coaches
* Internet Marketing Coaches
* Social Media Experts (I can do different experts who specialize in different sites)
* Social Networking Experts (I can do different experts who specialize in different sites)
* Advanced Video Production Experts (using Green Screens and lighting, etc.)
* Public Relations
* Graphic Artists
* Web Designers
* Ezine Specialists

Even if you don't see your industry listed, if you think you would make a good match for this ebook, send in your idea.

The cost is $100 per month, with no contracts or minimum of months. You get a 1/2 page ad, never on the same page as or near another ad, so nothing else will be competing for their attention. Anyone who reads this book WILL see your ad.

If you decide you no longer want to advertise, then your ad will be removed from the ebook and replaced with someone else's. Payment will be via Paypal Subscription, and you can cancel whenever you like. But you have to give me 2 weeks' notice to replace your ad.

For being a sponsor:

* I will send you a copy of the unformatted text, so you can see what I am sending out.
* Sponsors will also get the full version for themselves,
* I will give away a full version of the book as a prize to your clients (1 for every month you advertise).
* People get the free ebook by registering at the Commercial Creation Center (CCC), so if you register there and share the book using the affiliate link, as a sponsor you will receive 50% commissions on the book.
* I will also create a special version of the ebook for you that puts YOUR ad on the inside cover, so it is the first one they see. When people sign up under your affiliate link, they will receive YOUR version of the ebook (as long as you are still a sponsor).
* I will also place a personalized Paypal Buy Now Button in your version of the ebook. That way, if anyone forwards the ebook and the receiver buys the book without registering at the CCC, you will still get commission from the sale.

So please comment below if you would like to be a part of this book. I would like to release it no later than 1/19/09.
