We’ve all seen an increase in Video over the past year.

You could see it coming a mile away. 2005 was the year that Online Audio hit critical mass and now in 2006 it’s been a battle between Podcasting and Online Video with sites like YouTube.com and Google Video going head to head with iTues and PodCast.com.

So what does all this fancy new technology
mean to people like you and I?

Sure we can consume it, it’s fun to watch videos online and if you have an MP3 Player, podcasting is a great way to take your content with you.

But how can we use it in our own business? What’s the angle?

I’m going to focus more directly on Video in this post and I’ll cover podcasting on another day.

Okay, VIDEO… Let’s start by doing some brainstorming on how Video can be smoothly injected into any online business and help to increase click throughs, revenues and of course build rapport with your audience.

You could:

Broadcast Industry News
Setup your web cam and simply keep up what’s going on in your niche market. Then do a 30 second to 3 minute news spot to inform your subscribers on what’s hot and what’s not.

Post Video Updates
Sure you can send email, you can even use a blog like this one. But why not let your audience get to know you in a more personal way through video.

Invite People to an Event
Alex Mandossian has done a phenomenal job with his WatchAlexTV.com web site where he does a 60 to 90 second spot and drives thousands of visitors to what ever is up and coming.
Speaking of which, if you haven’t seen how he does this… you must see for yourself.

Create Opt-In Video Squeeze Pages
Rick Raddatz has proven time and again with his InstantVideoGenerator software that a video squeeze page (Shy-Yes pg.) can out pull almost any other page over and over again.

So I encourage you to think about how you can start using video in your web business to generate new visitors and convert more loyal subscribers.
