Viral Videos For List Building !

All experience marketers know the old adage that “the money is in the list “.Network marketers have developed contact lists in many different ways over the years. Generally a sign up form is offered with a free giveaway. Someone simply fills out the form with a name and e-mail address to “opt in” to the autoresponder and the free giveaway is provided to them. In return for that, they generally understand that they have granted permission for whoever made the offer to follow up with other e-mails with other offers.

Several years ago the singular e-mail opt-in was taken a step further when software was developed that asked the first recipient to forward the offer to 4-5 of there friends in order to qualify for the free giveaway, or perhaps even a very low priced offering. Hence, list building became viral, meaning that a single e-mail to a single individual could be multiplied in a near exponential manner as each level of opt-ins continued to forward the offer to even more people.

The Web 2.0 World

Of course the latest to trend in the network and internet marketing community is the Web 2.0 world of blogs, YouTube, Twitter and the like. The use of videos in various social networks in order to communicate and establish a following with the subscribers has become ubiquitous. The net result of all this is that seemingly the most effective way to communicate with potential subscribers, or even to acquire subscribers and customers these days is probably through the use of videos.

Videos have a number of advantages, including the ability to present yourself as a sincere and a knowledgeable person in a face-to-face way. A potential subscriber or customer is more likely to buy from someone they they feel like they know. So
consequently, it’s almost imperative these days that you use the video medium in order to communicate with potential prospects to turn them into eventual customers.

The New Viral Video World

Interestingly, a new video software system to build a contact list and potential customer list virally has been introduced. Internet guru Joel Therien, CEO of Kiosk.ws, is in the process of launching very easy to use video building software called Easy Video Producer that has the potential to be a very effective way of generating contacts in a viral manner. This system is unique because the software itself is being offered as the free giveaway for this video “tell-a-friend” system. Essentially, the system will offer you free and extraordinarily easy to use video generating software that builds and posts your personally produced video and information capture form on a website or blog. A contact management system is included with the free offer as well.

The viral concept is that you would then attract traffic to introduce yourself to the prospect in a more personal way, offering them the opportunity to opt in and use the same free software that you used to prepare the video. The prospect and new contact would in turn use his free new system to attract even more potential contacts for his list and yours as well.

As in the earlier e-mail systems, the originator of the viral distribution of the free software would have access to every subscriber in the levels below him. So, what is offered is a system that provides a free and very simple (even a cave man could
do it) method of posting videos to the internet that have a specific purpose of giving away additional software in a viral manner to capture a fast growing network of contacts with whom you can continue to build a relationship.

The Issues I See

The problems with this system are not dissimilar from those in other earlier systems of using free giveaways to build a list. . You first must be able to get your video in front of an audience and in order for them to subscribe, and they in turn must have an audience to subscribe in order for the system to work effectively. It can probably be most effectively used by someone who already has a subscriber list and wants to expand it rapidly.
Another potential negative is that the the new contacts you generate with this list, both directly and indirectly, are not yet buyers and it’s likely that many of them will have no interest in your particular marketing niche. Proper strategy of course is to build credibility over time through a series of value adding free offers that are designed to help categorize their interests. Only then should you move on to the stage of offering them the opportunity to buy your stuff.

Easy Video Producer is an awesome product!

EVP is an awesome product. After many years as a commissioned salesman, I know that the personal,face to face sit down is key. I also found it hard to transfer my offline success online. Until, I started using WEB 2.0 tools to my advantage.

However, those only work once you have captured the right details, and built up trust through, written communications. For most of us this is hard to accomplish. We wind up having to learn to communicate in a medium that is not comfortable to the majority of us, and hard to instill confidence in your customer or potential partner.

Easy Video Producer has broken that barrier for the average person. We simply hit record and leave a message for a friend. All those important facial expressions and tones are conveyed immediately to the visitor and does increase sign ups to your list.
Every person that depends on customer relations to earn an income should be using this medium to share and brand themselves as the person you want to build a relationship and/or do business with.

Imagine showcasing your products with a live pic right from you home office.

What Is A Social & Business Network Good For?

If you want to Promote yourself, your Business or your Product Social & Business Networks is a good place to start getting yourself set up. Social & Business Networks are probably the best Resources that you could have if you want to be successful.

You start by making yourself a page, take your time laying out it all out promote your business or product on your page. Once you have everything the way you like it get as many people as you can to look at it.

How do you do that? you go to the members section and you click on a person then leave them a comment introducing yourself to them, invite them to see your page. This is how you make friends, and contacts.

Once you have a collection of friends, build a relationship with them. You may think that some people might not be interested in what you have to offer, but this may not be the case. Depending on how you present yourself, your product or your Business, this may determine what they will be interested in.

The Goal is to get yourself seen, make your presence known. Let people know who you are. One of the things I have noticed when I am viewing the members in most Networks is that there are so many people that have been members for along time and they have no friends. They have not set up there page telling people why they are there.

These people are the kind of people you want to build a relationship with because they need your help. They are the ones that are not sure what they are suppose to do, or they are looking for some guidance.

If you take them by the hand, build a relationship with them, they will more than likely want to follow you and be a part of your business because you took the time to help them.

One of the things I would like to do is share a little bit of my experience with you. I have been in and out of a lot of programs and systems throughout the years. I have spent a lot of money on a lot of things. I have been involved in programs that have promised to help me to succeed and coach me along the way only to be left standing there on my own.

Now that's not to say that it was all there fault, I was just as much at fault for not trying to contact them,or use them as a valuable resource, thinking I could do it all on my own. There was also the time factor, having to work during the day and trying to run my own business online in my spare time so I would never have to work again.

I'm sure we all know that story. One of the things I can say is I never gave up in the sense that one day I was going to make this work. Because even though you may waste a lot of time and money trying different things, you do learn a lot of things along the way. I am sure that if you talk to those that have become successful, they will tell you the same thing. It was a long and hard road but they kept trying until they finally did it.

These are the kind of people that can help you to succeed, because they have been there and they are willing to show you by doing there best to help you to succeed. They try and let you know what works and what doesn't. They give you the resources that you need.

Take advantage of as many resources as you can, get yourself out there. Find something that you want to promote and stick with it. Many people do not make it because they give up or they jump from one thing to the next.
