Lights! Camera! Action! Make Money Online With Video Marketing – How to Make Money Videos!

Many affiliate marketers are now using video marketing in their efforts to make money online with their home-based businesses. Video marketing is the latest tool in the toolbox of affiliate marketers and is being used widely for any business that can be advertised online. You can become a video marketing success by following the tips in this article.

Producing videos that have good quality content on a regular basis is almost expected by your customer base who are seeking new ways to view your product and to decide if they want to buy. The more videos you have uploaded on YouTube the more likely you are to experience success in your marketing campaigns.
If you produce your own videos as opposed to outsourcing them you must be confident when recording your ad copy. Customers can feel the confidence in your voice, so it has to be well-delivered and professional and your content has to keep their attention while they are viewing your video. Include your website address at the beginning of your description field using good and proper HTML techniques. By doing this with all your videos, you will make it easier for your viewer to click on your link and be taken immediately to your website where the sales copy can take over to sell your prospect. Always include your primary keywords in your description tag as well as alternate keywords so that the search engines will look favourably on your site and rank it high.

Always start your video by telling your viewers what they are going to learn by watching the video, or review your product if your video is a review type video that explains the benefits of purchasing your product. Target your videos to the specific audience that you are niche marketing to and be informative and believable. The more believable you are on the video the longer they stay viewing it and the likelier they are to purchase your product.

An effective video is one that is both visually appealing as well as pleasing from an auditory perspective. Always write a script for your video beforehand so that when you record it, it will sound natural and flow easily. Use appropriate language in your script as well as visual imagery to engage your viewers and keep them glued to the video.

Brevity is a desired characteristic of any good video. nothing is worse than a video that is too long, or takes too long to get to the point of it. One of the best ways of learning how to make money online with video marketing is to learn how to do this well. You can make a lot of money online by producing good quality and goo content videos in your advertising campaigns for all your affiliate programs.

Brevity is the norm for well-produced videos that make a point to the audience. Your videos should be no more than three minutes in length and should not reveal or disclose everything about your offer. Leave something for the viewer to read when he is directed to your sales page otherwise there is no need for any viewer to go there after viewing your video. The old adage KISS – keep it simple silly – works well in all cases. Keep it simple and your video will carry your message well.

Be honest in your videos. Your viewers will quickly sense whether you are being honest with them or if your are trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Visualize that you are speaking to a professional audience and they will sense your sincerity which will go a long way to achieving credibility with your viewers. Be yourself, but never disclose anything too personal about yourself. You are trying to win over a sale, not make friends with your viewers.

Include a tagline prominently somewhere in your web page. You have about eight seconds to capture your viewer’s attention and a tagline will help you captivate him immediately. If a viewer spends more than eight seconds on your site, chances are they will become a buyer. That is just statistics. Always include a link to your homepage on every page of your site so that your visitors can always navigate their way to that home page, otherwise they may leave pre-maturely if they get frustrated with any navigation problems they encounter. The sizes of your files should also be kept to a minimum so as not to delay the loading of your web page. Web pages that take too long to load are quickly exited by the visitors who find their way to them.

Powerful video marketing campaigns have a distinct advantage over any other form of social media like Facebook and Twitter. whereas they are text in nature, video marketing is visual in nature and can convey something in real time that the others cannot. Most people are visual as opposed to readers, so a good video will always be preferred to text based social media.

A good title is extremely important for your video. Always incorporate one or two of your targeted keywords in your video’s title so that the search engines swallow it up.

Finally, take the time to write a compelling and convincing call to action that will motivate your viewer to click on your link and be taken to your sales page. A good call to action is a must when ending your video preparation so take the time to do this well. If the purpose of your video is to entice the viewer to do something other than buy your product – such as rating it, or providing feedback – then ask them to do just that. Every well-prepared video ends with a good call to action, so make sure that yours end in this manner as well.

Conclude your video with a strong call to action to the viewer. Ask them to click on your link and to visit your website. Ask them to rate your video. Ask them to share your video. Ask them to do something. Do everything right and your video has a chance to go viral and to also be reviewed by others who would chose to comment on it because they like it so much.

How to Find a Great Realtor to Run Your Property “Comparables” (Comps)

Establishing value on your property is critical. Skill number one above all other skills to master.

The most important aspects of being a real estate investor is the ability to establish value on houses or properties you are considering buying, wholesaling, or flipping. Irregardless of location, be it California, New York, Houston, or Dallas its a must know skill to learn in time.

But how do you master comping property if you do not have Multiple Listing Service (MLS) access? How can you practice and practice running comps (like I have until you breeze through it), looking at land, comparing variables like year built, location, lot square feet, bed and baths, subdivision and lastly what is the property next too? Is it next to a commercial center, stinky ranch or pig farm or a nice area with a creek or lake? These factors are important to know in learning to master running comps on property.

Before you can become proficient with running comps you need MLS access from a realtor if you are not one already. And this is how you do it. You want to find a realtor you know on a personal level, maybe a friend, friend of the family, or relative. If you don’t have a realtor on hand you need to make friends with one.

This is how you go about making friends and getting MLS access. Drive for dollars and find a vacant, boarded up house ones you want to consider buying or wholesaling. Find two or three, then call a few Realtors up tell them you are real estate buyer or investor and need a good realtor to buy through and run comps.

Start off only giving them a few addresses to comp then a week later give them a few more, meanwhile take them out to coffee get to know them, their likes dislikes, hobbies, etc. Form a relationship with them. A week later give them a few more comps to run, be sure the houses are in your actual buying areas of interest. In other words make sure its real comps of real houses. Its one way to get to know your platinum areas.

Phone your realtor talk to him or her about the houses he or she comped. Make the chat a casual conversation. Ask them if they would like you to refer them (realtor) to the sellers who want to list. Of course the realtor will say yes! Let them know not all sellers you meet are desperate or motivated sellers and some simply need a good realtor to list with.

Then when a seller does not want to sell ask them if they would like to talk to your realtor to see if listing is right for them. Call the Realtor and give them the seller’s name, phone, address, and the condition of the house. This will show the realtor you are serious. No one works for free. Keep track of those referrals maybe the realtor will give you a small finders fee once listed and sold, just don’t ask for one at this point. Your sole goal is MLS access! The gold standard of running comps.

Somewhere in the discussions you are giving them the comps to run, they start to get a bit overwhelmed at the extra work load of running the comps for you. This is what you want. They need to realize in the back of their minds without you mentioning it, they should just give you MLS access.

However, when you feel its a good time tell them you can “save them time buy getting MLS access as an “real estate assistant” or such, just whatever is easier for them” which they can ethically do. This is why, they have real estate assistants who run comps for them, look up properties on the MLS and help out in the office for them.

If you are giving them leads they are going to be more than happy to give you the access you need once you establish trust with them. It is wise to be working about 2-3 Realtors at once to see who is actually a big picture or forward thinker. Do this until they get you the MLS access. Do this until you can speak their language. Do this until you get your MLS access. But stay in touch with the other Realtors, because you never know when you will need them too.

Let this soak in a bit and see if it helps you to get the MLS access you need. Zillow or no other comp service is worth a darn, hey its hard enough to establish value with the MLS as it is. Some Realtors will say they can run the comps but a realtor see’s comps through a different light than the investor. Here is one major difference, WE write the $200,000 check to BUY the house, Realtors only list the house. We better be right-on with our comps! Get it!?! So they see running comps through a different pair of glasses, and this is one of many reasons why you need the actual MLS access yourself.
