Today there’s not-a-lot of a particularly technical nature to post: Rather, having spent the weekend setting up and testing various lighting and sound set-ups in the small amount of office space that I have, (That wasn’t an easy mission I can assure you: Finding the best positions for, first of all me, then the lights, the teleprompter screen, and the microphone was one thing; actually creating the room to put them in position was another.) then doing several takes of a promotional video, before editing and producing a final cut; I didn’t get any posts written, edited, and scheduled to go out this week.

That’s not to say that there will be no posts this week: Indeed I intend to write some and post them as they are produced. – But; what with this setback as well as trying to get shazzalive.com running, I’ll probably only be producing around 3 posts  a week, including the Friday newsletter. – In fact I think that once a week is currently a bit too regular for the newsletter – So in future, after this week, I’m only going to be producing a newsletter on a scheduled basis once a fortnight; bi-weekly in other words. I’ll still endeavour to post something every Friday all the same.

OK then; so after my weekend as lighting technician, sound recorder, producer, presenter, production supervisor, video editor… and everything else associated with making a video; you’re probably itching to see the result. – Well it’s passable in my opinion, but it could do with a few tweaks; such as the camera being placed more in-front of the teleprompter screen, as well as another light placed just below bottom-right of the picture as you see it.

This is in fact only my second video that I’ve actually produced and displayed publicly on the internet; so I’m not exactly well-practiced at the art of video-production. Recently I’ve listened to an audio-only interview that Gideon Shalwick did with Maria Andros over the phone; America-Australia. – The long-distance line held out fairly well all through.. This got me thinking, and I realised that I wasn’t putting enough content out there and that I wasn’t claiming enough real-estate on the internet, and my visitor numbers and search-engine ratings were suffering as a result.

Now this step will eventually filter down to my blog; in that I’ll be including more self-made video-content on it eventually. Whilst I am fairly certain that many of you will like to have articles in audio/video format, I’m aware that some of you would prefer to read text-only. This blog’s been mainly text-only up until now, and has attracted many visitors – Therefore I’ll provide at least a basic transcript along with the video when I am able to do so.

On that note, all that remains for me to do is to show the video, along with a transcript underneath it: -

“Hi, and welcome to this video. My name is Sharron Field, and I’m the owner and creator of kkomp.com. In this video I want to tell you about someone who has made it big in the field of internet marketing:-

This person started off blogging as a hobby, even before it was called “blogging”. He’s now one of the biggest internet marketing gurus online. His name is David Risley; and you may have heard of him yourself. Having himself made it, he wants to share his success with others. He has a number of major projects currently running; one of which is called 3-Day-Money.

3-Day-Money is an online business-training course. It’s called 3-Day-Money because it can be completed in 3 days; although you can take as long as you like to study it. 3-Day-Money goes through, in detail, all of the steps you’ll need in setting up your own successful internet business. 3-Day-Money discusses everything from setting up your own blog through to business-models and techniques that David himself uses to run a successful online business generating a six-figure income.

I’ve purchased the product myself, and since then I’ve had time to put it to the test: This product comes with my personal recommendation as a 3^rd party.

I’m not going to rabbit on any further about it in this video though: I’ll let David do all of that himself. If you go to my blog at http://kkomp.com and scroll down the Welcome page, you’ll see a banner ad for 3-Day-Money. Just click on that and you can watch free videos, made by the product’s creator himself, which explain the course much better than I ever could. There’s also a free 5-page pdf document that I wrote myself on 3-Day-money advertised right underneath the banner ad: You can take a look at that if you like too.

Thank you for watching this video. While you’re on my blog; why not take the opportunity to join my mailing list and get extra free stuff delivered to your inbox?

Here’s to your success. I’m Sharron Field; owner and creator of kkomp.com.”

“Wait a minute… Why does the video say that I have to go to the Welcome page and scroll down to find the banner when the banner’s here all along?”

Well spotted. Here’s the reason why: The video is on You Tube; there’s no article on You Tube; just video, therefore people can’t get to the banner just by scrolling down the page there.

OK so why, after 36 hours or so since you released the video and post, have you just added the banner to the post?

Again; well spotted: I wanted to do a limited experiment to see what percentage of viewers actually bothered to go from here to the Welcome page and scroll down. – While the results aren’t fully processed yet, it appears that the answer is less than 50%

“Hasn’t that impacted on your campaign’s initial success?”

Maybe, maybe not. We geeks are scientists too; and no research comes without a price.

Haven’t you clicked on the banner yet? – What are you waiting for?!
