What has done well is a combination of a sales page plus a video (and in some cases this means you can cut down the overall text on the page). So it's the combo approach I'm pushing more toward (and this has been true for the majority of the clients I work with as well). It's not either-or. It's a combo of both.

I realize now it works best for marketers who get their traffic from JVs. I single page opt-in with just a few bullet points and a video won't work for SEO, but would work really well for trusted traffic sent to it. I think the first landing page I saw with this technique was last year for an AdWords product from a well known super affiliate. Have you tested this technique yourself?

If you're a beginner, often you make mistakes at every step. But as you go on, you learnt a few tricks from reading. Great videos will significantly increase sales on your site, sales pages, squeeze pages – call them what you will but Lousy videos will drive potential customers away. BTW, great blog!

I can still see a need for some supporting text around the video to capture the eyeballs when it isn't running, but will the text on the screen along with the video do what you want? Terry

I've been doing a bit of experimenting with video to put on my own site, and your comments about using sales copy along with the video certainly make a lot of sense, good info and advice and taken on board. thanks buddy Hi Terry.

People need to understand that on the internet we loose the 'personal' touch of selling. When you are selling in person you can adapt to the client. You can feel them out and match their personality. If they are loud and crazy, you be loud and crazy with them. If they are soft and shy, be soft and shy right back. Online we loose that. Fact is that some people like reading...some like listen...some like watching and some don't care. By providing a video with audio, and some text like you suggest you are hitting all the mediums and that is key! Great post and I look forward to more quality content as usual. -Kenny Cannon Terry…once again you are DEAD on.
