Marketing on a Shoestring

In the Beginning, Edison said Let their be Moving Pictures. Well, not exactly, there had been several attempts at creating moving pictures, but, in 1896 Edison invented the Vitascope-the first commercially successful movie projector in the United States. Virtually overnight, moving pictures became a success. Today, we call it video and if used properly, is virtually an untapped source of website traffic.

You can put up marketing videos on any number of video sites like You Tube and if the content is good, it might be viewed by thousands of video fans and result in massive traffic to your website. Not only that, video has become so easy to produce that when they get to your site, they could be greeted with video right on your site and if you don’t think that this will improve your website conversion statistics, you are living in the past.

If you think that it might be too expensive, think again. Almost any digital still camera will produce professional looking videos that you can use on the web. Not only that, there is plenty of video editing freeware that will help you produce professional quality results.

I don’t know what is going to be the wave of the future in internet marketing but, I do know that video is the wave of the present and if you are not using it, you are giving potential customers just one more excuse to visit and buy from another marketers site.

Don’t live in the past, get on the video bandwagon and reap the benefits of this new and effective form of internet marketing. Hey guys, it is the 21st century and video rules.
