Why Videos DIDN'T Work Before, But Do NOW!

Just a decade ago, the web had nothing more than text and images. Then came audio streaming and MP3. Internet users started downloading MP3 music from P2P networks. The Internet had slightly more to offer.

Up until this point, video streaming was, for most parts of the world, impossible. After that, the first Internet broadband was introduced and in the mid-2000s more and more Internet users in developed countries started to hook up to the net with speed a thousand times faster than a mere 56k modem.

Then came video streaming sites like YouTube. Marketers now no longer have to depend on shipping CDs and DVDs when their customers can just download videos off the net after purchase, saving a bundle on shipping costs!

We're in the middle of history in the making. And yes you too are in the right place at the right time to tap into the power of video marketing. Be it you work in a team, a company, or even an Internet Marketer on a shoe-string budget.

To achieve substantial results from video marketing you need to have the following ingredients in your video marketing campaign:

� Interesting to view - if your videos are boring, there's no reason for your viewers to continue watching. Remember: they're one click away from closing the browser!

� Viral property - it must be newsworthy so that your viewers will tell others, who then in turn tell others, about your video. Thus allowing you to leverage on the best form of advertising i.e. word of mouth!

� Call to Action? This is usually missing and experienced marketers can tell the seasoned pros apart from the rest just by observing whether the video has a call-to-action of some kind.

But you're going to be in for a treat...
