If you have spent any time recently on internet marketing forums, you cannot have failed to notice the burgeoning interest in online video. Google’s high profile acquisition of YouTube has brought video right into the public eye. With YouTube it is possible to create a video, and then paste some code into your own site, and have the video play there. If you do this, you can have the video play with a squeeze box right underneath it. Your video content will explain to the viewer what is to be gained by signing up. This can be a powerful showcase for whatever you have to offer.

As well as having video play on your own site, you can leave a large number of videos on video submission sites with your URL displayed in the video. This can be as simple as having yourself, or someone from your business, stand in front of a board with your URL on it, just as sports interviews are carried out with the participants standing in front of a board with the sponsor’s name on. You can go to far greater lengths than that if you want to. If you have the right software, you can create a “ghost” URL in front of the whole video. Any time these videos are seen, there is a chance that the viewer will go on to visit your site.

As well as standard video shot with a video camera, there are other possibilities. You can create a video using Camtasia or Camstudio which will use screen capture. These videos can be added to video sharing sites, and they are especially useful on your own site, where you can demonstrate your own products right in front of your customer’s eyes, whenever they want to see them. At the end of a Camtasia video, you can have the page redirected to any page you choose, which should obviously be your sign up page.

Well it’s that time of the year again. It’s time for the Easter JV Giveaway event. If you haven’t heard of the Easter JV Giveaway it is an annual event hosted by Brad Smith and this year with his partner Guido Nussbaum where you can download loads of great gifts.

At the moment Brad and Guido are collecting contributors and as I’ve been given BACK DOOR Access to this event, which allows me to invite a few other people to contribute to the event, I thought I would write a post about in case any of my readers want to get in on it. It is a great opportunity for you to build your list in 2008. If you are starting out it can give you a real boost. This is how I kicked my list building into overdrive two years ago in the 2006 event. I ended up with over 700 subscribers from just this one event.

Brad and Guido are using their magic new system, called Giveaway Manager 2, to handle the event. It’s the system that earned Odinn Sorrenson several thousands of dollars of cash, on top of thousands of eager subscribers, in just a few short days.

If you want to be part of the event and build your huge list of subscribers then Easter JV Giveaway 2008 is going to be the place where your online career starts or gets better.

You know by now that you should be building an opt-in list. It’s one of the best ways to earn money on the Internet.

When you have a list, you can send members a newsletter with one or more interesting articles along with ads for products related to the topic of your list. The larger your list, the greater the positive response will be to your ads. And, the more money you will make.

Creating and managing an opt-in list involves a number of tasks, including:

- Defining an appropriate topic for your newsletter
- Implementing software or subscribing to an external opt-in list service
- Attracting potential list subscribers
- Preparing articles and ads to send to your list

In this article we’ll discuss an aspect of attracting subscribers by offering a free article or ebook.

Today, nearly everyone expects an incentive in return for giving you his or her name and email address. It’s not enough merely to receive your periodic newsletter. After all, they don’t know the quality or content of your newsletter. So they expect something of value up front.

The typical product you can offer as an incentive is a free ebook or article.

To successfully get new opt-in subscribers you’ll need to offer an ebook or article that provides immediate benefits. That is, your product must solve some problems or answer some nagging questions of your target audience.

You can offer an ebook or article you have resale rights to or you can create your own. Most existing ebooks with resale rights have been marketed for some time and often people with more resources and experience than someone just creating their first list have marketed these products. So, the information in these ebooks is often familiar to many people.

You’ll often find that if your product has unique content you can corner the market for your particular set of solutions. This offers an advantage because your target market can only get these solutions from you.

How to Develop Ideas for Your Ebook

As you gain experience with your topical area you’ll probably be able to identify some of your target audience’s problems or concerns. And, knowing their concerns or problems, you’ll likely be able to offer a few solutions.

Once you have identified some solutions, you can expand your thoughts to a few paragraphs. To explain them clearly and give examples, each solution may be become a chapter of several hundred or even thousands of words.

You can often research your topic and look for additional solutions by using the search engines or by searching various article sites. Once you locate material that describes solutions you can express those solutions in your own words. You can add your own examples to make your expression of the solutions unique and more personal.

While copyright protection applies to the expression of ideas, it does not prevent you from expressing those same ideas in your own words. There are many books and ebooks that express the same concepts in different words. So, your expression of the solutions you choose to present will not conflict with the rights of others.

Preparing and Publishing Your Ebook

Most people use a product like Microsoft Word to prepare their ebook or article. With it you can check spelling and grammar, create chapters, headings, bulleted lists and a table of contents. You can also add photos and clip art to help explain and illustrate your ideas.

You may already have access to a commercial clip art package. Many packages are available at your local computer store.

Microsoft allows you to download and use any of over 150,000 images and sounds from their online library. To search and download art from Microsoft using Microsoft Word, select Insert -> Picture -> Clip Art. Then select the Clips Online tab. You will then be able to search photos, clip art and sounds for just the right images to illustrate your ideas. As long as your purpose is to enhance your own product, you can freely include Microsoft’s images.

Once your ebook or article is complete you’ll want to create a PDF file. This is the most popular format for downloadable ebooks and articles. People using both Windows-based PCs and Macintoshes can view documents in PDF format.

You can “print” your document to a PDF file using any of several free conversion applications. Newer PCs often come with this conversion software preloaded. If your PC does not have this software you can get it free from several sources. Three free products that create PDF files from virtually any Windows applications are:

- PrimoPDF (http://www.primopdf.com/)
- PDFCreator (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/)
- doPDF (http://www.dopdf.com/)

After creating your PDF file you can then upload the PDF to your server. You’ll need to upload it in BINARY format rather than ASCII format. To make sure you did everything correct you should download your PDF and test it to make sure it is viewable.

You’ll also need to create a web page that promotes the benefits of your ebook or article, describes your newsletter, and includes a subscription form. In addition, you’ll need a “Thank You” page that has a link to your ebook PDF file so subscribers can download your product.

With unique content that offers an immediate benefit to potential subscribers, you’re sure to have a successful list building experience.
