It’s time for the next event in our free PowerStart Webinars series, this time Video Marketing TODAY! with the ‘King of Camtasia’ Lon Naylor. It’s another live online webcast, this time at 8pm Eastern on Tuesday, June 8th. Attendance is limited to the first 1,000 people though, so be sure to register now

Just glancing around this blog you’ll see I’m no stranger to creating videos or to using videos for marketing online. But what you may not know is I’m also a professional glamor videographer and the author of such e-books as “It’s You… Live!“, a guide to podcasting and vlogging (video blogging) and “Creating Your Own Videos“, a guide to creating your own video products to market online. I’m also the creator of various video tutorials such as “Converting PLR Videos” and the “PLR Tutorial” training videos. So to say I’m comfortable with my video skills is an understatement… ;-)

I don’t say all that to brag, but so that you know I’m a video expert and that when I say Lon Naylor is the ‘King of Camtasia’ I’m definitely qualified to make that evaluation of Lon’s skills. Teri & I met with Lon at JVAlert in Philadelphia last month, and then after my speech there we all went to dinner to further discuss Internet marketing and affiliate marketing in general and using videos in particular. I was sufficiently impressed with Lon’s knowledge on the subject that I instantly asked him to present one of our PowerStart Webinars events on the topics of creating videos and using videos for online marketing and he agreed to creating a video tutorial webcast for you – the webinar tomorrow night is the result of that meeting.

About Lon Naylor…

Amongst his other activities online, Lon is the owner and operator of the Learn Camtasia blog and video training facility. While most marketers haven’t even upgraded to Camtasia 7 yet, Lon already has a coaching program for it! Lon regularly teaches marketers and product creators how to leverage screen capture videos (like those made with Camtasia) for maximum marketing effect.

A 30-year veteran of the computer industry, Lon spent the last 10 years of his professional career during the decade of the 90’s as a senior engineer at Microsoft before ‘retiring’ in 1999 at age 41. There he specialized in high-level multimedia presentations where it was not uncommon for millions of dollars in revenue to be at stake.

His ability to take highly technical concepts and break them down into simple, easy to understand presentations and tutorials is a result of the years of experience gained in his long career working with companies like Honeywell, American Express, and the national labs at Sandia and Los Alamos.

As an extremely early adopter and evangelist of the Internet, he has long recognized and exploited its massive potential for delivering effective sales messages via video to a global audience.

As an authority on the Camtasia suite of video production software, he is a highly sought out resource and the ‘Camtasia go-to guy’ of many of the top internet marketing names such as myself, Willie Crawford, Ken McCarthy, Bob ‘The Teacher’ Jenkins, and many more.

Lon is on a mission to “Rid the world of lousy marketing videos” as he puts it, and carries on this effort from his rural Wisconsin home on the Apple River enjoying trout fishing from his backyard, kayaking, and recording music in his recording studio. But his greatest passion remains in creating effective marketing videos and teaching others to do the same.

About the Webcast…

Video Marketing Today will be an hour or so of solid content – content you can put to use right now in your marketing and/or product creation efforts. Creating videos and using videos effectively will be just a part of the story, as Lon has promised to reveal secrets like the 3 common video marketing myths, the 5 common things you must NOT do with video and the 5 things you should be doing RIGHT NOW when creating videos and using videos in your marketing mix.

While we always hope to make these PowerStart Webinars recordings available to you after the event, we’re all all too familiar with the glitches that can crop up online, so I can’t guarantee the replay will be available – best be online at the webcast to be sure you don’t miss this powerful tutorial broadcast. At the end of the call both Lon & I will be available live to answer any questions you have about creating videos, using video promotions and creating video products, so you’ll want to be there during the live event anyway.

But as I said at the outset, the webinar broadcasting service only makes bandwidth available for the first 1,000 attendees, so be sure to register now and then arrive a few minutes early tomorrow night! Pay attention, take notes, ask your questions and you could be creating videos and using videos online like a true pro in no time – See you on the webcast!

Here’s a great Internet marketing video, for a service I heartily recommend:

Now, you can get into the Plug ‘N Pay site but first I want to talk to you about using video online – you can always join Plug ‘N Pay after you read this, ok?

If you’re one of my more recent converts to this blog, you should know that I had the first actual bundle of Internet Audio & Video Tools online back in 2006 – and you can tell it was that long ago by the fact that I had short hair in those videos – hadn’t been out of the advertising game long back then! ;-)

At the time, everyone – well, almost everyone, thought I was crazy to say that video was the future of the Internet. But to their credit, Willie Crawford and Jim Edwards each had ONE video at YouTube at the time – mine was the 3rd-ever Internet marketing video on that site. But for everyone else, online video seemed like a pipe dream…

Fast-forward 4 1/2 years and video is everywhere online – especially in online advertising like the video above. If you’re not using video yet you better hurry and get it together, because otherwise you’ll be scooped on every affiliate marketing or Internet marketing promotion you run.

Already using online video as part of your Internet marketing arsenal? Is the quality up to the one above – or at least close? Because that’s the coming wave of competition, so sharpen your skills as an Internet videographer if you expect to stay in the forefront on the big launches!

If you aren’t using Internet marketing videos or affiliate marketing videos yet it’s almost at the point where you have to play catch-up now – and in a while it may even be too late to make up the ground you’ve lost. After all, online video drives sales, drives opt-ins, drives traffic and drives your marketing promotions up the search engine results pages (SERPs).

But don’t despair – I come not to bury your hopes but to enable them! ;-)

Here are two choices to get you up to speed quickly with marketing videos:

1) Creating and distributing videos is part of the curriculum in the 4-week PowerStart Marketing Coaching class. You can start as soon as March 1st and have your first videos online by April 1st – marketing videos you yourself created!

2) If you’re quick, you can get iFlash Video, the company that made the video above, to make a custom Internet marketing video or affiliate marketing video for you every month for just $50 – normally they charge hundreds per video, but right now they’re about to launch a monthly service. But be quick and get on the pre-launch list – the site will only be taking members for four days, max.

So if you’re ready to start making Internet marketing videos or dying to start making affiliate marketing videos then get into the PowerStart course right away. If you think video is still beyond you, get into the monthly service at iFlash video right away.

And if you really want to start rocking and rolling with online video, do both for maximum exposure! But you DO have to hurry – your competition is already starting to leave you behind!

Yesterday I uploaded a free downloadable gift from Teri & I – a short report and an audio version of it. Did you get your gift downloaded ok?

FREE Article Marketing Overview Report and Audio

If not, grab it now. If you did get it, have you listened to the audio yet? Pretty cool way to deliver content, isn’t it? Same with the podcasts on my blog, which are just audio versions of the articles there.

Notice the Intro and Exit portions of the recording? That’s how you brand yourself with audio, establish name recognition and add a call to action at the end. And the beat and style of music track you choose to put under it sets the tone and pace, usually helping you to get your listeners more fired up or better relaxed, depending on your goals with that audio.

It’s the same with your videos too – using the same music & voiceover style for your videos will help build your brand as well – in fact, the lack of the music & sound effects is one of the ways to identify amateur efforts, and your mind knows that instantly. When you think about it, even your loacal News & Sports, on TV or radio, use music tracks to identify themselves.

But how do you get these tracks? Pro tracks that are royalty-free so you can use them when you want to? Maybe even resell them to others? Here’s a rare insider tip for you – almost every big name in the biz gets their tracks from the same person – our friend Ginny Culp. And now YOU can too:

Royalty-Free Music Tracks For Internet Marketing

You get fresh tracks, audio e-courses, squeeze page audios, sound effects, audio e-books – all for less than having one custom track done for you – although Ginny does that too on ocassion. Best of all, these are aimed specifically at those of us in the IM and niche markets, so they’re appropriate without any heavy-duty editing. Take a cruise through the site and look at all that’s included there for you – Download Royalty-Free Music Tracks, Audio E-Courses, Audio E-Books & More!

PS – Be smart about this one – you already know you’ll have to get into audio and video before long if you aren’t already using them, so lock in this source now. You can go month-by-month, or choose 2, 3 or 6 month plans – the 6-month plan is less than half rate, so go for that if you can – but choose the plan that fits YOU best…

Get YOUR Audio Resources Where The Big Dogs Do!

Face it – you don’t often get to see where the big dogs get their resources, so when you do get that rare peek, be sure to jump on it and use the same tools they do!

As you know, video is exploding all over the net these
days – video squeeze pages, video testimonials, affiliate
videos, video salespages… And if you read my new e-book
last month on Podcasting and Video Blogging you know that
video blogging is starting to catch on too!

So just how are YOU using video online? How about as
products? Our PLR Tutorial Videos are our
best-performing product still, although our newest ones,
Using PLR Videos will probably take over
the top spot soon…

Why? Because far from just being for those using PLR
videos, the training in that bundle teaches you how to
edit ANY video
– PLR, your own, affiliate videos, those
you outsourced, etc. And precisely BECAUSE video is now
exploding everywhere online, this bundle will become
more and more important for the next couple of years
at least.

Think about it – there’s nothing else out there in the
Internet Marketing arena that teaches you how to actually
edit video, how to create videos from scratch, how to
convert PLR videos for your own use as unique products,
or how to create video intros & exits you can just drop in
place at the start and end of each video you want to use.
Only one is the bundle at UsingPLRVideos.com

Do you doubt that the whole industry – the whole
Internet, in fact
– is heading towards video? Do you
doubt that you’ll need to learn the technology just
to keep up? Of course you don’t - you’re too
smart for that!

So why wait til the last moment & face a major
learning curve just to catch back up and try and win
back the visitors and results you’ve lost by then?
We all learn easier when it’s still fun and creative,
rather than when we’re under the gun to learn just to
survive – so use those smarts you have and join the
dozens of Internet Marketers, videographers, bloggers &
webmasters who’ve already secured their copy of
this powerful training resource! Head over & start
your download of Doug Champigny’s Using PLR Videos
bundle now!

Empowering YOU To Dominate Video in 2009…

PS – Yes, the bundle was just released yesterday, and
yes, dozens have already downloaded it from the site at
http://www.UsingPLRVideos.com. Some of them will use
the information to pull ahead of you… Unless you use
it to crush them first. Who’s going to dominate the new
video technologies – them or you? It’s your choice…

Helping you succeed with video… DC.
