Increase Website Sales with Online Video
"Videos can be very powerful, or quite amusing, but I have 1 suggestion: If it's going to be over 5 minutes long it's likely that a lot of people may listen but not watch - while they're driving (or doing the dishes), for example. Half-hour chunks of time are not lightly granted by the masses unless it's really entertaining, or vitally important. Not that great things shouldn't/can't be said at length, but be forewarned that people who'll take 5 minutes to read a blog won't easily give up 30 minutes to watch or listen to your ideas - look how hard it is to grab a TV audience share - and there's far fewer TV channels than there are blogs. businessavante"Diary of a Whimpy Startup: Part Two
"Years ago, a friend of mine spent 3 YEARS researching which VCR to get - just by reading features in magazines & buying guides. That means I listened to his "theories" for 3 YEARS! He never went to a local electronics store to see if the "dream" machine would play his old tapes w/o a time lag in the video/audio synchronization (if you think it should be automatic thanks to SMPTE code - WRONG - all that mattered was the distance between the video & audio heads). He finally got his fancy new machine & you guessed it - had to send it back to NYC (cheaper there than locally). It wasn't compatible. Too much theory, no testing. businessavante "What is the Best Time to Tweet
"From watching this site pretty much around the clock for a few months I'd say it's a waste to post a blog from about 6pm Eastern Friday till Monday morning. No one's "home" - Friday night/Saturday morning blogs will be buried by Monday. (My 1st "Tip" - will anyone listen?) businessavante"What is the Best Time to Tweet
"After I wrote the 1st comment above, I realized I left out 1 important factor - there are a few "Stars" on BizSugar who get votes whether their posts are buried or not. They may alert their fans in a news letter, or the people just search them out in "Recently Submitted". The bloggers who aren't getting what I would say is their fair recognition, given the high quality of their output, are the ones I'd advise to post late morning/early afternoon during the week. More readers will have easier access in the 1st few pages of "Recent". businessavante"Subscribe
