Ask Mr Video Weekly Newsletter September 22nd, 2008 Dear Videographer, Yes it HAS been a long time. We (you and I) have both been busy and I have been saving up a bunch of great video info for you to enjoy for this edition of the newsletter. I have been traveling and shooting some very fun stuff and doing a lot of editing. I am streamlining my shooting and delivery and now capturing straight to a HHD. I'm still recording to tape but at the same time I am recording to an FS-5 HDD. It is one amazing piece of gear. I'll have a full report and review posted up this week. My USB Delivery for my Aspen trip with Maverick Business Adventures was a huge success. We handed out Flip Cameras and I downloaded video to my laptop each night. On the last night I did a quick edit of all the footage and put it and all the photos the group had shot and gave each participant a USB drive to take home. Instant access to all the memories of the trip! Before the last day was over, photos and even the video were posted all over the net. Great advertising, social proof for our events. Before I forget - I am hosting a teleclass this Thursday at 9pm called SCRIPT SHOOT SELL - Creating Instant Video To Reach More Prospects. On this call I'll be going over some new tools and developments in the video marketplace. Mostly, I will be teaching you how to OWN your niche using a few simple strategies. Space is very limited so I am requesting you sign up now to get all the call details. You can get more information about the call here: http://www.askmrvideo.com/public/374.cfm If you would like to promote the call to your friends and associates, I'd really appreciate it. FALL PLANS Fall plans for AskMrVideo.com are too numerous to mention - but I will mention some of them. I am committed to getting this Newsletter out every Monday. Additionally, you will be getting a weekly video and more great articles by your's truely and other industry professionals. I got to give credit to member Bert Grim. He really kicked my butt in a good way and thanks to him, I'm delivering more and better content. It really is great to have people in your life that call you higher! New products coming out include my Opt-In Video Player. THIS thing is off the HOOK! I will be releasing this soon and AMV members will get a big discount. Questions: I really love your questions and comments - if you have a video or related question, or want to comment on anything we've talked about, please post them on the forum. It's a great community and even better the more you use it! Found Video of the Week Every week I bring you a new video that illustrates great video, great marketing or both. Enjoy! MBA Flip Cams: Mr Video says: Wow - that was fun! It shows what you can do with a few Flip Cameras and some fun activities. This was posted shortly after the trip (next day) and features Yanik Silver, Mike Filsaime and other notable Internet Marketers.   " Case Study - Mark Walters" by Mark Walters (Mr Video Says: "Member Mark Walters is having great success with his online videos. I asked Mark to share his approach and he graciously gave these tips") Here's the skinny. With my videos found at http://MarkWaltersVideos.com I do a few things. One - Educate and give content. That creates value with my BRAND. The result, people find VALUE in me. They sign up for what I offer FRE'E and take my suggestions of products seriously because of the credibility the videos convey. TWO - They stay opted in to my list because of that credibility...and because they have gotten to know and hopefully like me. Three - I continue the connection the videos make in my emails by giving a piece of myself in them too. I do this with photos of my cool life which includes killer adventures and celebrity run ins. That's MY life, and I share 2-4 photos in most emails and I include a creative twist on the story. If people want to know what I'm doing they will have to opt in to my list found at CashFlowInstitute.com FOUR - As for SEO, I often use long tail keywords in the title and description so that I have a good chance of ending up on the first page of Google. I have several YouTube accounts that I use this strategy on. My main YouTube channel http://MarkWaltersVideos.com however, has titles that target the essence of my message. That's because people who are already subscribers are directed there and I want it to be easy for them to know what each video is covering. Save the funky long tail keywords for different YouTube accounts. Recognize the 2 different roles each account plays. Recap - Make videos that have content where people can see the passion in your eyes. You are the only YOU that is out there, so market it and allow people to know you and LIKE you. When they LIKE you, they will LISTEN to you. When that happens you have the chance to get paid...depending on what you're saying. If you can add fun little videos in addition to your content videos, again you give people the chance to think you're special; like you; buy from you; and stay opted in for YEARS! Now that's how you BUILD and GROW a business! Mark~ Did you like this article? Emailing it to a friend is easy. Just click below! Video Gear Review Here we go! My favorite part of every "Tip of the Week". This is where we get to look at some neat toys tools! I love tools that are easy. My good friend Shawn Pringle over at EasyWebVideo.com is the developer of V2F - possibly one of the easiest to use tools to get video on your website or blog. V2F will allow you to convert your video into fvl or swf AND put it into a variety of cool player styles. Not only can you post to your website but you can email video as well. BUT the TWO best features in my opinion are the Jukebox and "Go-To" points. You can set chapter markers in your video! This is UNHEARD of at this price point! The ability to set chapter markers (or go-to points as Shawn calls them) makes this product a must have for your video tool box. Shawn is also giving away two impressive bonuses. Bonus #1 is a teleprompter and Bonus #2 is a free editor! I have worked with Shawn and he stands behind his product 100%. He is serious about video and the products he delivers are top notch. Plus, he gives out free upgrades! A real no-brainer here... Check it out! Do you know somebody who would find this review useful? Email it right to them.

You can't argue with this guys and gals. Carrie Wilkerson and her husband Eddie produce a lot of Still Image Videos (Like TheBossMovie) but they are newbies to shooting with a video camera. Look at Eddie's first effort and my critique and the subsequent sales letter and tell me if a 10% conversion rate works for any of you? Eddie "Just Did It" and is crushing it! http://www.askmrvideo.com/members/370.cfm BTW, this course that Carrie is offering is a MUST HAVE if you are new to internet marketing and working from home - men or women.
