Whether you like it or not, a new era of the internet is here.
The Time Of Online Video Is Here.
I don’t know how long you’ve been “online,” but 10 or 15 years ago, video used to be very uncommon on the internet.
Most people (including me) had dial-up connections that couldn’t handle video. And there just weren’t good ways of putting videos on websites. But today, peoples’ computers and internet connections are video-capable.
Not only that, but video is becoming a standard for websites.
It seems like every other website you land on has video at least somewhere on the site. Does yours? After all…
Today, People Are “Wired” For VIDEO…
Did you know that in 2006 alone, movie ticket sales were up by 5.5%?
On the other hand, the percentage of adults in the USA who read literature for fun has DECLINED by over 10% in the last 20 years!
A 1999 study showed that the average household with children has about 3 TV’s – and it’s probably only increased since then.
Everywhere I go, I see video.
You see advertising TV’s in the checkout lanes of the grocery store. You see TV’s or DVD’s playing in the doctor’s office. A few days ago, even, I pulled up to a gas station and a prerecorded video message started playing on an video screen above the pump!
Nobody can tell you how exactly it’s happened, but…
Video Is Triumphing Over The Written Word
Obviously, the written word isn’t dead. And I don’t think it ever will be.
But that’s not the point. The point is that people today respond more to VIDEO than to TEXT.
What can you do to take advantage of this change and benefit from it?
All you have to do is start using online video on your website!
Video sparks your visitors’ interest and makes them pay more attention to you.
For business owners, that means BETTER CONVERSIONS and EASY PROFITS… more product sales, more email list subscribers and more people staying on your site!
But look at the flip side of that too. If you don’t start using video and start catching up with the web’s standards, you are going to simply THROW AWAY potential profits. Long-term profits, too.
Maybe you’ve thought about starting to use online video for your websites, but just haven’t done it yet. If that describes you, listen up. I’m about to crack the whip. 🙂
But first, let’s pause for a second while you…
