This Blog Is Moving...

Someone finally lit a match under me, and I've moved all the entries from this blog to my new website: www.CrashBangDigital.com/blog/. All new blog entries will be posted there from now on.

Web Videos for Small Business

Start Your Engines!

If you want to be in the race for affiliate prizes, you better get started. Everything from cash bonuses to an Apple iPad are being offered to the affiliate marketers who refer sales of the Baby Boomer or Senior guide. Here are the contest details:




The UK-based author of the guide, Anna Bell, did a great job researching and writing the content. I think it's an affiliate product with true value.

Finally, a Quality Affiliate Product

A lot of Internet marketers have jumped into affiliate marketing, only to come away disillusioned. I personally think that's because many of the affiliate products out there are of dubious value. I just had the chance to produce several videos for an affiliate product that changes all that. A 750-page guide for seniors and baby boomers that covers everything from where to retire, to health and finances. It was extremely well-written, and professionally produced. I think it's going to be a real success story for affiliate marketers.

From Coast to Coast...

That's the range of Canada's PrintingOnDemand. We produced this video for InViewMarketing, the Toronto-based website developer and Internet marketing company. They recognize the value that video has in compelling website visitors to take action.

Grab a cold one and watch the game...

If you're looking to enjoy the true "home theater" experience (and you're in the Toronto area), you should really contact Toronto Home Theater. We just finished a video for them that shows of their installations. Take a look!

Work Up a Sweat Defending Yourself

Keith at Absolute Martial Arts in St. Louis commissioned us to create another web video for his business. In it you'll learn the questions to ask before selecting a school to learn mixed martial arts. A MMA class combines Muay Thai kickboxing and No-Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Keith says after this high intensity cardiovascular workout you're guaranteed to leave class soaked with sweat!

The Boat Show!

It was a snowy week here on the East Coast, but that didn't stop me from going to the boat show in Atlantic City. We were hired by the East England Company to produce video for their website, Sailboat-Secrets.com.

I roamed the halls of the convention center, and conducted short interviews with some of the vendors. We're in the process of editing them down to eight videos that will be available through Sailboat Secrets. Here's a teaser:

Ask, Listen, and Retain

That's the name of a marketing campaign we're supporting with video for Compechek. They are a leading provider of customer satisfaction surveys (Ask your clients questions - Listen to their responses - and Retain their business). You can view the squeeze page video here: www.asklistenretain.com.

We've produced 20 videos so far in the Ask Listen Retain series. Five of them are longer, and describe the benefits of the Compechek process. The rest are shorter, and cover the FAQs and SAQs (Frequently Asked Questions and Should have Asked Questions). They were all recorded in front of my "green screen" so we could vary the background graphics. Here's an example:

Tanks for Everything

My clients in Saskatchewan, Canada literally have a tank for everything. AGI Envirotank manufacturers tanks for everything from gas stations to agricultural products. Here's a video we produced for their line of modular gas stations. They are less expensive to install, and more enviromentally friendly than traditional service station designs.

Kick Yourself (out of loneliness)

That's the title of the lastest video we created for WinstonHenry.com. The website offers a wide variety of motivational messages. The video is based on one: tips on how to stop being lonely.

The Perfect "Squeeze Page" Video

We just created a compelling squeeze page video for Internet marketing guru, Fabian Tan. It combines all the attributes of a successful squeeze (free offer, "but wait there's more...," and a hint of controversy - Murder Your Job).

Fabian is ranked as one of the top five Asian marketers. He has spread his offers globally (how about 5,000 ezine articles!). His ventures include affiliate marketing, information marketing, and joint ventures with other Internet marketing gurus.

Moving On from a Failed Relationship

It's always good to start the new year with positive motivational messages. And that's what we helped Winston Henry create. Based on his article "Moving On from a Failed Relationship," the video makes the point that you shouldn't forget the good times you had with your ex. But it's important to acknowledge the reason for the break-up, and then start focusing on yourself.

You can read more motivational messages on www.winstonhenry.com. And coming soon - another video: How to Kick Yourself Out of Loneliness.
