When
SiteSell.com president, Ken Evoy,
recently ran a promotion called "The
$10,000 'Why-I-Love-SBI! Video
Contest," he called upon his
customers to submit a video
explaining why they loved using his
company's service and being a member
of his community.
Ken
anticipated a good response. But
even he was surprised when more than
140 of his members (most of whom had
little or no video production
experience) submitted a video entry.
Ken
was simply thrilled about the
quality and quantity of the
submissions he received. As a
result, instead of handing out
awards for just 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place, he gave out prizes to a total
of 38 "winners"!
But
here's the best part: By
utilizing the WwbZoneVideo
'Video Affiliate System,' Ken will
soon be integrating those 38 videos
into his affiliate program.
This
means that the thousands of people
in his affiliate program will soon
have the ability to add any of those
prize winning videos to their own
sites. This will enable them to earn
commissions by referring new
customers to SiteSell.com via the
affiliate links built into the Web
Video Players appearing on their
sites.
Many
of the videos really were quite
impressive. One of my favorites is
from WVZ member, Josephine. She not
only took the 2nd place price for
her video about her horse business,
but she also sold some horses as a
result. Josephine says...
"After
I had uploaded the first contest
entry [to YouTube], we got a call
from an overseas client who needed
to see five horses - fast. He had a
corporate meeting in three days
time. (These horses are an
investment - rare and valuable.)
The
client was bowled over by our
professionalism and rapid response -
his words - and one horse that was
sold entirely by video arrived in
California just a few days ago."
Ken
sums up her efforts, "Josephine's
story is the ultimate example of how
SBI! is for anyone with a niche.
Magical, straight-from-the-heart,
the type of video that PREsells
professionally and powerfully, this
is a video that any affiliate would
be proud to use to PREsell."
So,
what should you take away from this?
- You
don't have to be a professional
video producer to create *effective*
web videos.
- Use
video to tell your story and bring
people together.
- Take
the time to educate, inform,
entertain - and as Ken says, to "PREsell"
your offerings.
And
let your passion show.
