Comment on Is video really the future? by Troy

Sean, thanks for the comment (you’d gone to spam)

I don’t know if people are going to video more and more – not for information. Most people can skim a page of text in a fraction of the time taken to watch a video.

But yes, ideally pages should have both (so long as the video can be stopped easily – or not be autoplay at all)

I have to say video is being used more and more and people look to it more and more. However for the IM niche and the types of things we do I feel written content along with video content should play hand in hand. Have both available for those who want to learn by reading or by seeing. Everyone learns differently.

I had a feeling I wouldn’t be the only one Louise!

Agreed, I want to spend almost zero time if it’s just for an opt-in – I’ll decide on the first or second email whether it’s of value.

And as Jackie says, there’s nothing worse than wanting to go back and check something out when there’s only a video. Especially as the latest players won’t even let you FF or rewind.

I hate them, Troy. No, that isn’t strong enough. I absolutely loathe them.

As Jackie said, I want to see bullet points. I want to see something clear and concise that takes me no more (preferably far less) than 5 minutes to take in.

If I’m new to whatever it is you’re offering, I’m not going to sit there for 20 minutes while your video buffers, plays a bit, locks up my browser, plays a bit more, until I’m left at the end wondering what it was I just sat through.

I may be missing out by doing this, but if all your sales page has on it is a video, I don’t watch it. I just move on.

Excellent post and about time someone spoke up about this.

I agree that video-only sales pages and emails are the “lazy” approach to marketing. I’ve found many people that use this method are either not good at writing content or just don’t want to do the work involved in writing good sales copy.

I almost never watch video sales pages. I can read a LOT faster than you can talk and I’m not going to waste precious minutes of my life listening to people babbling on.

Give me the facts….give me the benefits in bullet points and actually WRITE something that I can refer back to instead of having to listen to the video AGAIN because of something I may have missed.

Now if someone wants to include a video ALONG WITH ad copy that’s fine. Then I will read your copy and may even watch your video afterwards
because you took the time to sit down and write something .

Hi Sia

Thanks for the compliment. There’s not ‘nearly’ no limit, there is no limit

I’m sure EH4U won’t impose one lol

WOW, this was a cool post, I never knew Easyhits4u was a multilevel program. I also just got to know that there is nearly no limit for the number of refs you can have. I have always loved easyhits4u, but, now I love it more! And will promote it in many ways. Thank you Troy!

PS: Can you drop me an email? I would like to tell you something in private!

Thanks,

Hi Jessie
Thanks for reporting that…it’s fixed now
You would have been successfully signed up for the newsletter anyway, it was just the return to the site that didn’t work.
