Dear Budding Video Marketing Specialist,
My name is Leesa Barnes.
My clients and colleagues will tell you that I produce sharp and simple online videos.
But, I have a secret to reveal. I've been hiding something from you.
I have NEVER shared this before because I was afraid of what you'd think of me.
So, here goes...
I'm not an "expert" videographer. I didn't take any classes in video production and I don't have any formal training. I don't have any certificates or degress in the art of making videos.
And this little fact kept me out of the online video marketing game for a long time.
Even though I love technology, I found that learning how to shoot videos the right way and share them online was way over my head.
However, I needed to do something because...
Online Videos Help Prospects Learn Quicker, Take Action Sooner and Buy from You Faster Than Using Text Alone
I was amazed at what videos were doing for some of my colleagues (and competitors). Marketing with videos helped some of my colleagues get TV contracts and secure five figure speaking gigs.
One of my clients started to make money quicker after launching a series of videos on her blog. Another client was happy that his daily video podcast helped his sales team make 20% less cold calls. A colleague of mine made $18,000 for a 4 week telecourse using videos on Facebook to promote her product.
According to one statistic I found in a white paper, prospects are 43% more likely to be persuaded, will pay 26% more attention, learn 200% faster and retain knowledge 38% better if you use videos and other multi media content on your website or blog.
Here's more:
11.5-billion videos were viewed online in March 2008, a 64% increase from a year earlier (comScore).
57% of those who view videos online are between 30-49 years old and 46% are between 50 to 64 years old (Pew).
59% of those who view a video podcast are somewhat to very likely to buy the product or service that host recommends (Canadian Podcast Survey).
When viewing an ad or sponsor's message in a video, 80% of viewers recall seeing it and 52% have taken action, including 16% making a purchase (Online Publishers Association).
Amazing! Yet, I was still stuck.
While the numbers showed me that I had to add videos to my marketing mix, I was confused. Which camera should I buy? How much should I spend? Once I shoot the video, how do I get it on my computer? Which version should I save it in? How do I add music? How much more would I have to spend for extra hosting?
I felt like pulling my hair out!
But then, I remembered something I learned long ago that would solve all my problems.
He Could Barely Speak English, But He Knew Which Buttons to Push
Before starting my own business in 2006, I worked as a project manager for an eLearning company. I managed the technical resources who designed award winning online courses and developed the software to run the courses.
One of my favorite programmers who worked for me was from India. He could barely speak English, but he had a wonderful smile. One day, I peeked over his shoulder because I was curious how our company produced these award winning online courses.
I was totally amazed as I watched my favorite programmer put slides, music, sounds and images together using a program called Camtasia. It took him a couple of days to create the course, but when it was done, it was a masterpiece.
"See," he would say to me with a smile on his face. "All done."
I was fascinated. I got my hands on a copy of Camtasia and started putting together video tutorials just for the fun of it.
I Created Training Videos Using Nothing More Than My Voice and Slides
In the summer of 2001, the small eLearning company I worked for was bought out by a global technology company. I went from a team of 12 project managers to 200 from around the globe.
My task? To train the other project managers how to manage eLearning projects.
How could I possibly train that many people from various timezones? How could I help my colleagues who spoke dozens of languages in dozens of different countries when we couldn't meet in a classroom?
The lightbulb went off!
I used what my Indian programmer was using. I created an outline, designed the slides, plugged in my headset and used Camtasia to create online video tutorials.
For 3 years, I created online video tutorials using nothing more than my voice and slides. The tutorials were a hit with my colleagues and my initiative made my boss look good. It was VERY easy to ask for a raise that year (and yes, I got it).
Not bad for someone who has no formal video training, huh?
Yes! You Too Can Create Online Videos for Profit - NO VIDEO CAMERA NEEDED
You know that videos are the hottest marketing tool online right now. But, the last thing you need is to fuss around with gadgets, buy yet another hosting plan and try to figure out how to shoot videos so it doesn't look like your nephew did it.
Instead, you need:
A step-by-step blueprint to help you use online videos without using a video camera.
A high level coaching and training program that keeps you motivated and accountable.
A curriculum that doesn't stress you out and allows you to work at your own pace.
An environment that supports you and your many questions about producing videos for profit.
If I could show you how to use just your voice, a headset and slides to create online videos that will help you boost sales, get known and attract new clients easier and faster, would we have a reason to work together?

So, Leesa, How Much?
First, let me ask you how many more cold calls are you willing to make to get the business you're looking for?
The Camtasia Made Simple Program will show you how to create screencast videos to help you attract a flood of customers to your business.
I help many individuals and businesses start and profit from their audio and video content through my workshops, breakfast seminars and group coaching programs.
If someone wants to work with me one-to-one, they pay between $5,000 to $7,500 per month. This makes the Camtasia Made Simple Program so affordable.
If you add up all the bonuses plus the cost of this program, I could easily charge $5,000. I plan on charging $1,497 for this program in 2009.
But I won't charge that much. Not yet. You see, I want to create a few screencasting success stories. So, I'm making this program really affordable.
First, there are 3 payment options - $397, $597 and $997. You choose the plan that fits your learning style. That means you'll pay just under $5 a day for the 5 weeks of training, all the materials and the lifetime access to the training. Plus, if you're watching your pennies, you can pay in 3 installments over the next 90 days.
But, you have to act fast. Because I want to help you become a success using screencast videos, I'm limiting enrollment to the first 27 people. I'm also closing the doors on Wednesday August 20, 2008 and won't accept any new registrants until 2009 at the higher price.
Don't miss out. You can continue to waste your money on strategies that don't work, or, you can learn step-by-step how to create screencast videos that will boost your business. It's up to you.
