Hi Friend, 

In the past month, how many YouTube videos do you think you have watched? 1? 5? 20? More?

Well, the writing is on the wall as to the fast-growing popularity of online video today. A recent post from the popular technology blog Mashable cited that 75% of all broadband users in the United States watch video online!

In fact, the blog post goes on to state:

If online video watching continues at its current rate of growth, in just under 5 years, almost every American with an Internet connection (i.e., the vast majority of Americans, period) will be watching video online. Mashable, June 4, 2010.

So, it is clearly evident why online video is quickly becoming one of the most prolific and effective marketing channels for your business in 2010 and beyond!

There are five simple reasons why businesses are loving online Video Marketing:

  Video creates a personal connection unlike any other medium.

  Video increases your trust and credibility.

  Video expands your web presence 24/7.

  Video improves your search listings and rankings. (Google loves video.)

  Video accelerates the sales process in securing new ideal clients.

Given these powerful benefits as well as the staggering predictions on the growth of online video, how important do you think online video will be to your virtual business moving forward? I would say it is HUGE for two reasons:

Your client audience is likely becoming increasingly interested in online video, but may lack the skills and know-how to create an online video marketing campaign.

The use of information videos also presents an amazing opportunity to ignite your own business visibility and results like never before!

Well, our members at VAClassroom have been hotly requesting that we again teach the "nitty-gritty" of actually creating, editing and producing online videos.

So, we thought the best way to teach you how to create your own information videos was to offer a "hands-on", live training time with an expert video trainer who has literally produced 100s of online videos and demos for her clients.

I am happy to join one of our esteemed faculty members, Michelle Schoen, in presenting a live, interactive "Online Video Skills" Clinic!
