Hey Ken,
Now for somethign totally off topic to this post…well a little off topic…
How’s this for a “ghetto video”…

Just thought you may want to check it out? My very first effort at selling on eBay using video. And by Ghetto I mean Ghetto!
Mike Stewart has tried this on ebay and says it works. Thought I’d give it a whirl.
I’ll let you know how it goes or you can check it out yourself here…

I have 3 others to go up in the next few days too.
You will notice in them how I’ve cross sold within the videos to the other related items. I thought it was a rough effort to start with but time’ll tell.
Check it out now…

Great article. Here’s a new site that gives a simple look at some of the top videos that started this internet revolution. I thought it was a fun, simple approach.

Let’s see…
I’d rate this campaign as a 96 (using the same scale as wine is rated…)
The content is full, rich and hearty.
The audience is well defined and mature with a robust appetite for new information.
The consistent flow of product is high with 124 episodes available and more delivered almost daily.
They’re doing a good job of leveraging the well-known social networking effects of their market.
And they provide a clear set of options for subscription without pretense – what you see is what you get, sign up here or here or here and get all you want.
While I find the folksy “just me talking to you” production style effective for building a brand that’s true to the style of the spokesperson, I look forward to a bit more polish that matches the level of the rest of this company’s marketing. (See episode #124 for an example of where the folksy effect gets a bit worn out by the end of the show.)
That’s the only thing keeping me from scoring this a perfect 100 and I’m sure this will come as the program becomes more seasoned.

Hi Ken,
Thanks once again for another informative insight – and reminding me of some things I once knew
I don’t normally comment on blogs, but your P.S. prompted me to respond because you have a perfect mechanism on your page which I use exhaustively – I get your updates through your RSS feed.
Sorry if this post is going to conflict with your email sign-ups… just delete / ignore it. I just thought that if you are looking at pushing the envelope on the future then you shouldn’t forget about RSS…
Thanks once again,
Chris
