Ken, I really enjoy and value the information you share with us. I signed up to be notified for these calls but I must have missed the email. hopefully I will catch the next one. One question for anyone, any thoughts on using a white background or a black background for a video when one person is making a sales pitch? Thanks
Rick

As usual Ken, your pearls of marketing wisdom takes my breath away. The biggest a-ha moment for me is also…

Wish I’d caught your show but I’m extremely excited about all the pieces of the internet puzzle that are beginning to jell for us. I’ve gotten my first video clips of John doing a demo( slapping meat around and cutting it up) and we’ll post on the new website to promote his book Confessions of a Butcher-eat steak on a Hamburger budget and save$$$ I’ve found a college kid that will do this for me but would like to do it myself before he moves on, so all tips are welcome

Ken,
Are there any firms that have subscription shopping cart systems and membership management software specifically for video on the web?

Ken,
My name is Bob Perl from the Atlanta area andI am the video producer who asked those questions about Internet Video. Your answers
confirmed what I thought about the coming explosion of small business using streaming video on the internet. Traditional advertising and marketing methods (newspaper, TV, etc.) are quite expensive, wasteful and non-trackable. A newspaper is
discarded once it is read and is hit or miss. TV ads require costly production values (special EFX, etc.) and are billed on
a pay-per-play basis which is very costly.
It seems that streamed video on the client’s
website (or the portal) would be far more
cost effective for the client (bandwidth is
way cheaper than broadcast time), and is
trackable (e-mail response). I believe that
advertising dollars are flowing away from
traditional advertising and toward the internet. Your insight about “1994 all over
again” has given me my new business plan!
In the world of internet marketing I believe you are the man who knows what he is talking about and presents it in the most credible, professional way.
Thank you.

It’s amazing how easy it is to do business when you start dealing with any non internet marketing niche.
And the potential for online video is astounding.
We just did a video test for the American Viniyoga Institute.
A rough video slideshow with a really average audio.
This made some very unexpected sales…

If you take a look at this video you’ll pick up quite a few ideas on niche markets perfect for online video (travel and real estate for example).
Kindest regards,
