Video Marketing by Dean Dryer
Video marketing is just what it sounds like, selling a product or service through the use of video.
You may be thinking that the use of video would not be worth the potential cost. However, studies have shown that video, used correctly is an impressive medium for sales.
Studies have been done over the years on the effectiveness of video and here is what many like the Wharton School of Business found to be true:
• Video boosts comprehension by 50% over the same presentation given by a live speaker. • 97% of videos are watched, people believe that videos have intrinsic value and will not as readily throw them away, unlike the junk mail they get every day.
• Some studies say that as many as 94% will then pass the video on to someone else.
These are some impressive numbers when looked at from a marketing perspective. It is clear that there are some valid reasons for adding video marketing to a successful business. There are three ways that you can go about putting video in the hands of potential clients.
1. Mass mail to a current list of potential clients
2. Send them in response to a request
3. Add it as an incentive to purchase, included is this free video....
These are all valid marketing ideas, however today we live in an age driven in large part by the internet. Rough estimates put about 80% of Americans online, that is a large number of people that are reachable. The thing about marketing the internet is that by the time a customer finishes searching for a product their attention span is shortened. This means you have a small amount of time to make a good impression, communicate clearly, and sell them on your product.
Video is a great way to do this, the key will be in creating a brief video that captures attention but is not so overbearing that your potential customer is clicking their way to the competition.

Connecting With Your Customers Makes Your Life The Best
The "About" Page, also known as your bio page, is one of the most visited pages on a blog. Readers want to know the author of a blog: their story and why they are blogging. Yet most business bloggers are missing this opportunity to connect with readers. Many blog authors write about their education and job history in a dry manner.
Your 'About' page should be written appropriately for your blog - not copied from a professional bio or CV where you talk about yourself in the third person.
Remember a blog is a conversation, more like writing an email to your favorite client. The more you can connect with readers by using the "I" and "you" pronouns, the more it will feel and read like a conversation.
More importantly, rather than delivering your past experiences and education, your about page is an opportunity to connect with readers on an emotionally profound level.
What's your story?
Why did you decide to start a blog?
Why are you passionate about your niche?
What were the pivotal moments in your life and work that led you to where you are now?
People want authentic stories. They want to know who the person is talking to them through the blog. Why should they care what you have to say? What makes you the expert? Why should they believe anything you say?
Tell readers about the challenges you've faced and how you've overcome them. Be real with readers. When you are transparent, you become someone readers can relate to; readers will begin to connect and see more than words written on a web page.
Your business blog is more than a brochure or a marketing tool. It's an opportunity to establish intimacy with readers who are searching for inspiration and solutions to their problems. People do business with people, not companies. It's up to you to breath life into your blog and the "About" page is the place to start.

Strengthening Personal Character Makes My Life The Best
Well, a new day is dawning in the USA.
Whether you are happy about the results of last night's election it is time to stand behind the people who are in the leadership positions and support them.
By support I mean ultimately do what our laws dictate but use discretion and decorum when stating your thoughts, beliefs, and different point of view.
I think one reason why Obama and McCain were able to make it as far as they have in US politics is because of their ability to understand and see what people are saying and their motives even if they don't agree.
Their ability to empathize, to be tolerant, and flexible are true signs of being a leader and I think everyone can learn from their example.
McCain did an awesome job conceding to Obama. True class, dignity and decorum.
Those characteristics are what have made him an amazing leader.
(I only wish we saw more of it during the campaign...on both sides).
So, Why am I talking about this, here. I know I am not a political sight. I wanted to bring a real example of the characteristics to strive for in becoming a good leader, parent, friend, and business owner. These things really really need to keep in the for-front of our thoughts each day we are doing what we know how to do best... give to others.
Well, there is my soap box for the day!
Here's to HOPE!

Are You On Your Way to Making Your Life The Best?
Have you been wanting to learn more about how to really work from home and become financially free? There are so many "get rich quick" advertising, programs and systems guaranteeing to change your life, but how many programs really stand behind what they say?
Sure there are many false advertising, scam programs out there. There are even more great companies out there to partner with and become affiliated with. But what are some things to look for when deciding to take the plunge and risk it.
Obviously, the criteria for any good business is to be legitimate, reputable, have recorded longevity, and actually do as they say they are going to.
Some other criteria may not be as obvious. One such having great "customer care" or "customer service".
True, most companies are smelling like roses when you read, see, and are lambasted by their advertisements. Most companies are still smelling good after initial interest is expressed (if it isn't run; run fast and run far). Still many are still smelling appetizing during your buying process (hand over your card and the company is all too giddy to take your credit number, expiration, and code).
However, the companies that really stand out and become recognized as "stellar" and "extraordinary" in what they do are the ones that anticipate what your needs are and offer the services to you just before you realize you need it.
These companies are far and few between. Unfortunately, they too, are reserved for the higher income bracket of our society. Plus, those of us not in the highest socio-economic level, often, can not relate to and/or believe that type of service exists. These type of service is generally viewed for only those who employ a personal assistant.
I am here to tell you, or rather remind you there are businesses who are thoughtful, conscientious, and responsible to their customers.
I am not normally one to gush over any type of affiliate, direct sales, indirect sales, etc. kind of companies, but I am totally blown over and utterly impressed with the sincerity, integrity and purposefulness of this company.
I personally know the CEO of this company and it is with extreme pleasure.
I was offered an incredible opportunity to know the CEO personally not because I am a leading affiliate, nor the referral guru, but because I am recognized as a person who has used the program as it was intended. My life has been entirely changed by this experience.
My hope, faith, belief, and soul has been made stronger and more resilient.
I am incredibly grateful and indebted to Mary Gersten!
If you don't know who she is you need to! Go here to find out more!
Because of my decision to become involved with Mary Gersten's company I am on my way to achieving my dreams.
My dreams were not made over night nor will I be able to achieve them overnight. But, because of Mary Gersten and her company I am on the road needed, set in the right direction, and provided with an accurate map.
"Nothing comes for free"... we all really know that, even when our impulsive desires trick us at times.
Achieving your dreams is not like going to bed and waking up the next morning to a fantasy. It is identifying what it is you want and finding a way to get there. Mary has done that for me.
Thanks You Mary, From the bottom of my heart!! You are helping me to "Make My Best Life Now!"

Kids' Keys To Success has just released their latest program "Parenting LEVERAGE"!
Parenting LEVERAGE is a super affordable monthly membership to change the way mom and dad view parenting and make parenting fun and easy.
I know every parent wants to be the best parent they can be.
I know this goal often gets lost in the chaos of work, schedules, school, errands, chores, etc.; all the demands that tug and pull you away from being able to focus on your ultimate goal: raising your child to be well-rounded, have an rock-solid confidence, adaptable personality, and an empathetic soul.
As a result of constant demands away from our parenting goal we experience awful consequences: frustration, feeling overwhelmed, tired, inadequate, not living up to the goals you set as a new parent... to name a few.

Driving Traffic Makes Your Life The Best
The best way I know of generating traffic is by using articles. If you can make a sincere promise to yourself that over the next 12 weeks you will create a minimum of five articles per day, then after 12 weeks, you will see a tremendous difference in the number of subscribers on your list and the improved quality of your list.
It isn't easy, but it definitely works.
What you need to do on a regular basis is to sit down and create your articles.
You first need to create an enticing heading. The heading must be compelling enough to get readers to click on and read your article. Then you need to create an article that is full of valuable information.
You can teach your reader something new in your particular niche, or you could tell them some new information.
Whatever you do, it is important that your article helps the reader.
Then you need to find a list of four or five article directories that will continuously submit your articles online.
These directories must have a list of regular readers.
There are some article directories available that will produce zero traffic, and it is very important that you avoid these like the plague. It is also important that you have a squeeze page with which to generate your list.
When a reader clicks on to your article and clicks on to your link at the bottom of the article, there must be some kind of mechanism such as the squeeze page that will take your reader's name and e-mail address, and in return, give them a free product of some description.
An e-book is perfect.
An e-course is good.
A recording is also effective.
The final thing you should be able to do is to monitor your statistics.
How many articles are you submitting on a regular basis? How many readers are reading your articles? How many people are clicking through your articles to your website, and how many are actually submitting their names and e-mail addresses?
With this sort of information, you will be able to make dramatic improvements to your traffic-generating skill. Over a period of 12 weeks, you will dramatically increase the number of people, the number of subscribers that opt in to your list. And this, in return, will manifest itself in greater sales of your products and services.
