When TV first hit the airwaves, it was an amazing medium. Response rates were unbelievable and advertisers flocked to get their message on TV. Naturally this has waned over the years, but it illustrates the point that new technologies give those who get in first, an unfair advantage.

The internet is changing at lightning speed. Only last week I connected to ADSL2 which means that my streaming videos run just like TV. The Australian government is building a national broadband network to provide instant video to everyone and other countries are ahead of this. This changes the game completely.

Presenting Video Email.

It may seem hard to believe, but video email has arrived! Finally we can directly email people and when they open the email there we are, ready to talk to them! What a brilliant idea.

Imagine Receiving An Email Like This

Now using a webcam, you can record your message and send it to your list, communicate quickly with family, and invite people to your training sessions. Who knows, the right video could even go viral, and spread around the world!

Is There A Market For Video Email?

I asked myself whether anyone wants video email or whether it is effective in getting your message across? After all, it wasn’t long ago that marketers started using videos on sales pages. Well take a look at these stats and you will see that 2010 is the year of video email! You are right at the front of a massive new wave in internet marketing and communication. This was a survey done to business about what they intend to do with video email.

“Usage Rates Will Skyrocket This Year
When asked if they used video email in 2009 and plan to use it in 2010, only a combined 15.7% of respondents said they used it last year. However, more than 80% of respondents plan to use video email this year, with 11.9% saying they used it last year and will increase usage this year. Only 0.8% of respondents said they used video email last year and will decrease usage this year.

Video Emails Seen as Conversion Tool
Almost 66% of respondents said video email can result in significant or moderate increases in conversion rates. Only 5.1% don’t think video email has any influence on conversion rates, with 28.9% unsure”.

Did you get that. Usage of video email is expected to rocket from 15.7% of businesses last year to over 80% this year! This is astounding. You can guarantee that those in Internet Marketing and Network Marketing will be on to this very quickly as they are amongst the fastest innovators on the net. A year from now everyone will be using video email.

When I first heard about this, I was stunned. In fact I looked at it for a few days and did my homework. I discovered that video email is in its infancy. There are a few options, but they usually involve a text email with a link to a video page. This is like firing up a coal fired steam train compared to an electric train! These days everyone wants everything instantly and most won’t bother to click on your links. Now you can send the video right on the email. Your friends simply hit play and there you are!

Is This Expensive?

Well, no. that really surprised me. You can have a 1,000 mailing list for just $20 a month. Heck, one sales or one motivated person more than pays for that! That’s why I joined. Better yet, it has its own business plan, so you can make a handsome profit marketing this concept.

It Takes A Lot

Those of you who know me realize that I get a new pitch every week. There are a whole host of companies out there with sometimes great ideas. After studying MLM for years, I know that those who sell the tools often make the most money. This is going to be the ultimate tool in the next few years. The survey said they expected 45.5% increase in conversion using video email. Once that gets around everyone will jump on it!

What Is Stopping You?

If you are entrepreneurial, you know a good deal when you see it. Video email is about to explode, and this is obvious! Advances in technology assure that. You can literally have your face in front of someone in less than 5 minutes, a fact I will be demonstrating on a future post! Right now, you can do one of two things, unless you want to pass this by and miss the wave, that is.
