Videos for Infinity Downline.

I have been working lately to create more videos for my Infinity Downline Team business. I've realized that creating videos using simple video editing software is really a great way to market your business.

With a little time and effort, you can put something on YouTube or MetaCafe that can link people back to your capture page, blog or your website. It's pretty powerful. Now let me just say that I did know this before, but it's not until recently, since I started creating my own videos, that I am really seeing it for myself.

So, what you want to do is get yourself a video editing software such as Camtasia Studio. This software or any other like it (and there may be some free one's out there) will allow you to edit video, and record your computer screen. With a web cam you can quickly become Steven Spielberg while also driving traffic to your business.

The reason this works is simple. Its all about content on the web. The more of you that you put out on the internet, the higher the likelyhood that someone will see you and decide to join your business. That being said, your chances of conversion from traffic to your capture page or website is really going to be dependent on whether you are really offering your prospects something of value. For example, a flashy, loud website that splashes money around on screen will most likely not help you.

However, if you keep everything you disseminate onto the Internet as something of value, you will really move your business forward. Think of it this wasy, if you market yourself like a loud, obnoxious used car salesman using tacky websites (usually provided by your affiliate company) you're most likely going to be banging your head on the wall. However, if you have a website that offers value (tutorials, training, tips, tricks, goals, etc) that is what will keep someone interested in you and your team.

Training videos, personal videos, even simple inspirational videos put online at various websites such as YouTube will get your name and that of your team out there. The more the better. So start going Hollywood and get videos out there.

Lastly, don't think you have to be in front of the camera. I hate being in front of the camera. Most of my videos, which you can see on my channel Ivan Reyes Marketing are void of me in them. You can hear my voice, but I haven't gotten to the point of being an actor. It still gets me out there though. So remember, make a video, any video, and start getting yourself out there.

Inspiration...Seek it wherever you go.

Hey guys. I haven't blogged in bit, but lately I've spent some time setting up my Twitter account and doing a few other things to get my business moving even faster. One thing I've been focusing on is getting a little bit of inspiration, and that's what I wanted to briefly talk about.

The one thing I've been realizing is how difficult it can be at times to be inspired. Let's face it..life can sometimes be boring, and unimaginative. It can also be hard to give yourself that kick in the ass that you need to change what is withing your power of influence. So tonight and over the last several days, I've taken the time to view as many inspirational videos as possible.

Some of the video where just on business and being an entrepreneur, and some were more on life and how you might fit into this crazy world. Though the topics were a little different, I did get the same thing out of all these videos...a wanting to push harder to reach that level of success that I've wanted, but has alluded me.

And so I listened to Jon Mroz as well as Jonothan Budd, Kiyosaki and a few others. All I can say is uplifting, uplifting. It makes you want to charge harder, and it does put things into perspective. I'll admit that I first...even sitting there alone, I felt weird. Almost as if I were sitting with a therapist, but maybe that was point. Because now I realize have less challenges then when I started. 
So all this being said. Take the time to just sit and listen to some really good inspirational videos. The few I mentioned were great. Doing so will break up the learning and bring it down some. This also reinforces a lot of the things you might be learning regarding pushing your business to the next level.

Lastly, I titled this blog entry "Inspiration...Seek it wherever you go" simply because I now realize that you can be inspired by anything around you. For example, I saw someone driving the car of my dreams last week. That inspired me to go test drive that car and put it into my mental databank. It will be mine soon enough.

So happy trails and take a moment to be inspired.
