From Anthony Robbins’ talk “Why we do what we do.” at over 5million views to Simon Sinek’s TED Talk, “How great leaders inspire action.” at over 1million views, to all the infomercial presenters, social media gurus, and make-a-million-now MLM leaders, VIDEO provides a way to take a message to the world.

This Wednesday, April 17th Let’s Talk Video – popular/viral Educational & Informational Videos

On Wednesday, April 17th – at 9:00AM – watch us on a Google+ Hangout

A panel of experts from a wide background – social media, marketing, creative, and business – will be discussing 2-4 videos:

• what worked in the video
• what didn’t work
• what impact that video might have had
• how you could replicate it
• where these videos are being hosted – and why

To make sure we’re comparing apples to apples - we’re looking at similar videos in this category:  videos that are selling some type of online program/service/membership by the founder.*

They each talk about how they’re ordinary people who have learned how to do something special – and they’re now offering access to this “something”.

- the first video is on the home page of Chris Farrell, an internet marketer with an online membership site. This video is not hosted on YouTube, but on Wistia, so we have no idea of the exact number of views.  Here’s where you can see the video: http://www.chrisfarrellmembership.com/ .  If a viewer puts their name/email into the box as requested in the opening video, then another “thank you” video plays where Chris Farrell then talks about his membership site.

- the second video is Brendan Burchard, author and founder of The High Performance Academy. This video is found on a homepage, and encourages viewers to put in their email to receive “6 High Performance Secrets of Multi-Millionaires” in a 3-part video training series. This video is hosted on YouTube, but you can see it on his webpage: http://www.highperformanceacademy.com/

- the third video is on the homepage of Vick Strizheus, an internet marketer with a “secret to success”.  This video invites you to enter your email to receive a series of videos that will explain his secret and change your life. Once your email address is entered, you’re directed to another video – the first in a series of three – where Vick begins to explain his secret. That’s as far as we got in this process.  I believe we’ll receive other videos as time passes…  Here’s where you can see the initial video: http://bigideamastermind.com/accidental710k/?id=delos

- the fourth video (if time permits) is on the homepage of Jonathan Budd, an internet marketer.  Again, this video is not hosted on YouTube, but on Amazon’s hosting service S3.  The video is meant to welcome the viewer, and direct you to put your name and email address into the box beside the video.  Once you’ve done that, you’re redirected to a page where you can watch a “feature” film about Jonathan Budd’s process, and download 2 PDF gifts and watch a 3rd video (voice-over/slide presentation) with an invitation to join his “Unstoppable Millionaire” program. Here’s where you can see the first video: http://jonathanbudd.com/  that we’ll be discussing.
