Ken,
I am so impressed with the speed and quality of the change from version 1.0 to 2.0. In the first version I randomly clicked videos and was a little bored. In 2.0 I was riveted.
As a Smart Beginner, I am having a lot of fun watching all this develop.

Hi Ken-
I love version 2.0. This is a great way to customize the experience and help to choose which videos to watch. You did it super fast too!
I know I’ll make use of it to refer my clients who are interested in learning more.

Great! I like the change. It’s really the whole message to market match practice. The system you use would probably be great for demoing physical products, klike confetti, confetti cannons etc.
Looking great Ken!

Cool Ken,
Way better!
I guess there’ll always be conjecture as to who should be in what category etc.
I agree with Jim and see you are already thinking along the making the pages more click worthy line as per one of your comments.
Great stuff.
Sincerely
Brian

That is absolutely brilliant.
At least, my PC does not hang which happen in Version 1.0
This time it works in firefox

Hi Ken
Very slick & a big improvement.
Regarding the Ask a Pro testimonials (The “I’m already pretty darn knowledgeable about Internet marketing…”). Suggest the Dave Harber clip should only be in the Business Owner section. I think that for credibility reasons it would be better to just feature recognised names like Perry & Rob Bell in the Ask a Pro section. (No disrespect to Dave Harber)

I’m pretty sure that the page’s you referenced are a joke.

Ken,
It looks good. But for someone who is not used to using these tools (playback, etc.), the buttons need to be darker, and text, e.g. play and stop needs to popup as the cursor moves over the buttons.

Looks like censorship of video on the net may be similar to how it is on TV/infomercials at some point.

Jim:
I agree about the sterile look of the landing page. Our next test might be to see what we can do to make the landing page more attractive (i.e. clickworthy.)
Alan:
About the source of the videos… it’s true that many of the people we video taped are now faculty members, but when these videos were shot, all these people were students and many of them were raw beginners.
The way we got the video was that I was meticulous about filming testimonials at the early seminars. As a result, I’ve got over 100 of them.
Trying to get the faculty to shoot and submit video?
Some day… but that day is not here yet
Two take away lessons from all this:
1. Start shooting video now, especially of customers. You never know when you’ll have an occasion to use it.
2. If you have Internet-ready video right now, you’ll be able to do things your competitors can’t.
