For as long as I've had an office, I've posted stories of people who've overcome every obstacle on their road to success. It's served as inspirational reading and last year was an incredibly painful time as a result of 4 personally traumatic events. It's like I was stuck in a bad novela!

I know I will never be the same as I've been softened as a result of profound loss. I'm grateful today for the gifts the losses eventually brought me and those stories helped me to never give up in something I believe.

Since I'm in the land of video, I thought you wouldn't mind if I shared this with you.

I've been moved beyond words by this man. He is beautiful and inspirational and let's us know with his grace that "we should not compare suffering".

Enjoy.

There are so many videos produced by small business professionals and while there are a few that do look good, the ones that don't, hurt the business owners' credibility and it becomes obvious to your prospect that you're cutting corners.

In Loving Memory - Butch 1998 - 2008

noreply@blogger.com (LiquidVideo Artistry) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:57:00 +0000

On this Thanksgiving Day, Butch made the transition to be with Cassidy and Sundance. Not only were they born the same day and came to live with me within 24 hours of each other, they went home the same year.
I am forever grateful for the unconditional love I gave them and they gave me.

The holidays are here. In reflecting back, this year for me has been an amazing one for personal growth, professional opportunities, and experiencing true love not only through my pets, but through my personal relationships and through my work as well.

May you all feel love and compassion in all that you do, and put that love towards your work and your loved ones. The world (or at least your world) will be a much more joyful place!

peace,
Maribel

Video a Luxury?

noreply@blogger.com (LiquidVideo Artistry) — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:32:00 +0000

Is the financial fall-out getting the best of you and your business? Do you really think the government has a vested interest in your retirement? Or are you going to take control of your future by having your own business and doing what needs to be done in order to thrive? Are you doing your dream?

I'm sure it's not something you want to read or hear, but let me briefly cite two clever entrepreneurs who market to the affluent. They're giving away their free lectures that were captured on DVD to prospects and referrals. One of them is Harvard trained and gave a jam-packed lecture definitely worth watching more than once. She is cleverly using video as part of her marketing plan. The other entrepreneur is selling his lectures.
How's that for 'residual income'?

While video can be used to creatively capture the emotional ambiance of a sentimental party, it will not pay the bills.

However, if you're using the internet to further increase your visibility and your services, then you cannot afford to skimp on video. If you're considering using video for your business but have decided to wait, I've got news for you: your competition is going to eat you alive!
And here's the real kick-in-the-butt-lemme-give-you-something-else-to-think-about, you've been in business for awhile and your marketing plan depends on word of mouth. Guess what - your smart new competition is now leveraging your market.
And you know why - right? OUCH.......

Most people today have the attention span of a gnat - think about it.

And if you've gotten this far and have wondered why I'm not on video, keep this in mind:
it's not about me. But I am here to help you so drop me a line and let me help you.

Video Sales Letter

noreply@blogger.com (LiquidVideo Artistry) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 00:42:00 +0000

Online video is the how sales are being
made online these days.
And this is the only way I do business - it's the best
word-of-mouth there is.

Forget the $1600 I spent on print advertising. I got zero customers
and then got ripped off by the magazine in which I advertised. Urgh.

But providing video for other small businesses is when my business really took off.

And now - my friend, Mike Stewart,
simplified the science of selling online with video by
combining the ease of making simple videos
and posting them in a webpage made in the
world's most popular web content management
program, Wordpress.
He calls them Video Sales Letters.

I'm on blogger because that's where I started.
It was certainly easy enough for me to do.
What's beautiful about his program is that it's bundled.

If you can type, you can put text and buy
buttons instantly on a page using Wordpress.
If you own a camcorder and can prove you
solve someone's problem, you can get customers
to buy by talking to them with video with show and
sell, which Mike calls direct response television.

Want to know more, just go here
http://tinyurl.com/3sr4ke

and let Mike explain it all in just 2:30
at his video sales letter.

USA Today recently had an article about the
gold in online video marketing, and it makes broadcast
advertisers very nervous. Because my friends, this is
for anybody and everybody, so go check out Mike's fast and easy
program now to see what I mean, only takes a couple of minutes!

Don't make it hard for your customers to find you

Once they're on your website and you happen to

have video on it, don't make them search for it in an

obscure place. They'll leave your site.

Video has taken off since the early days in the nineties.

But video blogs and youtube have propelled it into the 4th dimension.

So if you need customers to find you, don't make it hard for them.

They'll skip right over you.

Infomercials

noreply@blogger.com (LiquidVideo Artistry) — Sat, 26 May 2007 15:07:00 +0000

My networking circles have grown in the last few years. Most of my business is
through word of mouth from satisfied customers to their friends and business associates.
Wouldn't it be great if all of our start ups and small business professionals had that same opportunity- word of mouth marketing?

Well - videos on your website or mailing distribution accomplishes that.

Let me explain and give a little history while I'm at it.

Gossip for example, spreads like crazy. So do jokes.
And if you're old enough to remember, chain letters at one time were popular. In these letters, it was requested that you send out a pre-determined amount of the same letters to your friends and if you chose not to send out those letters, the original letter would often state things to the effect that no fortune would be yours. If memory serves me right, chain letters had a negative connotation associated with them.

Well video does the same thing essentially without the bad connotation. You see a video isn't born viral. The very nature of posting a video on the internet and telling folks to view it is the seed of viral video or viral marketing if you prefer.

Most of the professional videos have the intent to inform consumers of their business. How it gets distributed is in your power.

Are they really infomercials? Not exactly - but an under 2 minute video clip describing what your business is about well generate viewers for you. Poorly done video may not get you the results you're looking for and I advise seeking a professional to avoid that.

What goes into an infomercial and what goes into a 2 minute video clip can be very similar if it gets attention, informs the viewer, demonstrates, and lastly asks the viewer to do something.
Infomercials go into these things on a much deeper level and generally takes a longer time to do it for a greater effect. Infomercials have been around and are still around for over twenty years.

There is a reason for that and that is - like it or not, they work.

So if your business doesn't have at least a short video somewhere, you're loosing out on money.

Until next time,
Maribel

It's the operator not the equipment

noreply@blogger.com (LiquidVideo Artistry) — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 17:56:00 +0000

LiquidVideo Artistry is frequently approached by other small video production companies that are just starting out. While this potentially helps out my company, I always ask what their focus is and what type of equipment they're using. As consumers are bombarded by manufacturers that HD is the new generation and HD delivery is for all intents and purpses now here, so is the ability to capture events by non-professionals. That's good to a point.

The individual that approached me told me the camera model they were using, and that they were shooting HD. Well, since I stay on the leading edge of technology and not the bleeding edge, I had already done my research and had already documented something using that same camera because the company specifically requested it.

A camera is a tool - it is not the only element into what makes a video good.

What follows is simply a tip or two if you plan on purchasing your own equipment.
HDV is not the same as HD.
Just because the camera has 24p or 24f, it is not necessary for all purposes.
Not all 3CCD cameras have the same size chip.
They don't handle low light equally.
And if you care anything at all about audio, not all XLR imputs are independent of each other.

Now if this is something you do not care about, good for you. Hopefully the professional you use will provide you with the benefits of using a professional as opposed to using a person with a big budget that doesn't know the difference between the camera's features and a competing manufacturer's.

LiquidVideo Artistry is committed to providing quality documentation that will make you more visible and profitable in a way that is best for you and your company.

We shoot to your success!
This is what gets me out of bed in the morning.

Are silent movies still good?

noreply@blogger.com (LiquidVideo Artistry) — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:14:00 +0000

If your visitors are coming to your website and they don't see any video,
then it's like asking them to watch a silent movie!

This morning I had an interesting conversation with an IT business provider who will be giving
a seminar at a conference in a few months. This is a perfect opportunity for him to make even more money.
He may not think so because he's already an expert in his field.
Here's my tip: This will increase his visibility further if he has this videotaped and creates a
CD or DVD package, it will increase his value. Immediately.

Hope this helps you!
