The Three Biggest Web Video Mistakes

Hello good people,

Anthony here with you.

So  what are  3 of the BIGGEST web video mistakes people are making??

Firstly, let me start out by saying if you are NOT using web video yet, you MUST start today!!

Web videos are an incredible way to build links to your website and to bring targeted web traffic.

Also, web video is a fantastic tool to increase your sales conversions (you’ll sell more using web video!).

If you are not using web video you are leaving a pile of cash on the table.

The  3 BIGGEST MISTAKES to avoid in regard to creating & using web video!

* MISTAKE NO 1 *

“Thinking you cannot create video because it’s too technical or it will cost a lot of money”.

WRONG….

Web video is easy to do and  cheap especially with the right resources.

See some of the resources we use. (we have a number of web videos HERE that show you what to use).

* MISTAKE NO 2 *

“Failure to upload your videos to enough of the correct video sites”.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BIGGEST  MISTAKE WE SEE!

Youtube ONLY is NOT ENOUGH.

Youtube is obviously a very impressive site, but to really take your rankings into OVERDRIVE  you need to upload your video to a  LARGE NUMBER  of websites, 50 to  100 or more !

Now you don’t want to be doing that MANUALLY, do you?

I don’t know about you, but spending  that amount of time would DRIVE ME NUTS!

I mean when would I get time to play guitar if we had to do everything manually?

I’d much rather find a way of achieving the same result in a FRACTION OF THE TIME  and preferably on AUTOPILOT.

Thankfully there is a cool piece of software that my brother Tim found and TESTED that AUTOMATES this video uploading process.

It  makes it an incredibly  MUCH EASIER  process to get your video uploaded to many sites at once, quickly and without fuss on AUTOPILOT.

It submits to 100 sites automatically  in fact!

Tim HAS A WEB  VIDEO HERE outlining how it all works. 

* MISTAKE NO 3 *

“Thinking that your web  videos cannot be used in your particular niche”.

This is WRONG WRONG WRONG (did I say this thinking is wrong?).  

Google OWNS YouTube and wants videos on EVERY page of the search engine results.

If you happen to have a keyword with no video results on page one?  Guess what?  That’s an easy way for you to get to page one!

IN SUMMARY

Avoiding these three common web mistakes will put you AHEAD of about 90% of your competition!

We urge you strongly to make web video a part of your marketing from today onwards.

Some Keywords Sell Products and Services & Some Suck!

Hi ya everyone,

Got some fantastic INFO ON KEYWORDS for you in today’s post…

We  have found a very good video on KEYWORD RESEARCH using the Market Samurai software, that we suggest you watch.

Most people know  keyword research and assessing competition is important.

We think it’s MORE that important…

IT’S VITAL TO GET RIGHT!

It’s absolutely imperative and could be the difference between getting a constant stream of targeted web traffic and ultimately how much PROFIT you will make).

MORE Targeted Web traffic = (you guessed it) more conversions and more cash.

There’s no hype there. Plain and simple right?

More traffic results in more sales, even if you are not the best at selling.

You’ll see there are a big collection of videos we put on the page.

We collated the best and most important of their videos and put them all on the one page for you below.

The one we are talking about is the FIRST ONE at the top of the page.

If you TRULY want to understand how to do this with almost foolproof results we suggest you  watch ALL these videos but for now at least watch no 1.

Enjoy and hope to hear from you soon.

Why Not Replace Yourself & Work Less?

Tim & Anthony here,

Welcome!

Have you considered replacing yourself and letting someone else do most of your “mundane” work?

A few days ago we mentioned an outsourcing solution we are using called ReplaceYourself.

A heap of people emailed in asking questions about it so we wanted to give you a few tips that have helped make outsourcing work well for us.

For those that didn’t get the email with the video we put together about outsourcing, we suggest you WATCH THE VIDEO HERE now.

TRAINING STAFF

—————————–

We found it (and still find it) generally best to train up our staff somewhat rather than looking for someone fully trained.

Replace Yourself  has great training resources for your outsourcers.

For example – one of our writers had no experience writing online articles.

With the writing training provided in “Replace Yourself” she is now one of our best (and most loyal) writers.

Why consider at least part training your outsourcers yourself?

For 2 main reasons;

1. Loyalty – by assisting someone to learn a certain role in your business, they are much more likely to remain a loyal staff member.

2. Cost effectiveness  – someone “new” working for you that has NOT  been exposed to the likes of Rentacoder and  Elance etc etc is starting “with a clean slate”.

Many (certainly not all though)  of the staff available on these and many other outsourcing websites have been subject to some buyers who have no idea of prices and and who  end up paying 5 or 10 times the going rate.

This results in many workers overcharging and trying to manage too many projects at a time. By training up a worker, outside of these websites, this issue can be prevented.

WEEDING OUT THE DUDS WITH A SIMPLE TRIAL!

——————————————————————————-

The “trial” is a must, and we normally do a “pre-work” minor trial to get rid of the “tire kickers” (those people who say they have experience in a certain thing but don’t).

For example we might require a person to install blogs, post comments, etc (and their resume might say they know how to install plugins on a blog).

We would give them basic instructions to “login to this blog and download this plugin and install it”.

If they couldn’t do it (but indicated it on their resume) we’d take that as a sign NOT to use them.

We virtually 100% of the time interview people over Skype (text chat only) and by asking some “hard” questions we weed out people even further.

A TRIAL EXAMPLE

For example if the outsourcer  says they are an “expert on link building” we would ask for an example site they have previously worked on, ask for keyword(s) they were targeting and paste it into rank tracker in Market Samurai and check the results. If the keywords were on page one (or where they said they were) then good, if not we’d query it.

For writers you can ask for a test article and then check it for unique content, use of correct keywords etc.

By doing this, it really helps you qualify people.

It take a little longer to interview but worth it, because you end up with better people and save time in the long run..

We currently  have ten (10) full time Philippine workers, so yes it can work!

We have certainly had some issues getting things sorted and  cannot say it’s perfect but after the initial period of time getting them trained in exactly what we want done, we can say we are getting good results from them each day.

If you are expecting them to magically understand your business from day 1, then you will will be in for a shock, you do have to put a little work in.

But it’s such a liberating feeling saying “setup a link campaign for xyz now please, here are the keywords, and here are the articles” and off they go and the work get’s done.

We suggest you get yourself a good  project manager as soon as possible to manage your workers.

But if you are just starting out,  you certainly can  get great results by interviewing and running a trial and managing the workers yourself…
