Video Training… Are You Watching?

Videos are definitely where it’s at on the Internet.  People spend hours on the internet surfing YouTube for something funny, interesting, motivational, a music video or an answer to a question they have.

Videos touch both our vision and hearing senses like movies and TV, only cheaper and with no commercials (or at least very few ads).  The more senses you can involve in an experience the better we humans like it.  Senses like taste and smell will be added to that video experience once someone perfects their own version of Willy Wonka’s “Smellovision”.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand – videos!  Youtube has been joined by many other video sites like Revver, LiveVideo & Dailymotion.  Although the entertainment factor of videos is awesome, there is a greater benefit at work for teaching new concepts in internet marketing.  Since IM is full of gurus sharing their knowledge, what better way for them to share that knowledge then with videos.  Videos can provide information & links like ebooks, but they also provide great value.

• Videos help build relationships between the teacher and student since the video can allow the student to see the teacher in action.
• Videos show real  step by step lessons on how to do something.  Many times in an ebook, a step by step lesson would be vague and high level.   For example,  Step 1-Find Targeted Keywords Step 2-Build Website with those Keywords  Step 3-Get Traffic to Website.  OK, maybe not that bad, but close.  Now, videos allow you to look over the shoulder of the teacher/guru and see exactly what they do and how they do it.
• Videos also provide entertainment while teaching.

If you are looking for the secret of success or an explanation of social media marketing on video, all you have to do is go search for it either in your favorite search engine (ie. Google) or directly in your favorite site (ie. YouTube).  Here are some videos that I like and wanted to share with you.
