Get away from the boring, regular medium of email and blogging and leverage VIDEO for reaching your customers.

People are expanding their businesses and having a stronger impact by taking their email to the next level with video email, video podcasting, video blogging, etc.

This can help you communicate more effectively to your target customer audiences, show and demonstrate products or services, and more!

A great tool to look at is HelloWorld. It is low-cost, yet high-impact one-stop-shop tool for all these services, all online!

Visit http://videoemailiseasy.com/ for more information and you can contact me with any questions.

How long have you been in business??

I have been an affiliate for about 3 months now. I have a strong background in IT though (12+ years), a Masters degree in Technology Management, and an Information Security certification.

Do you have a Business and Marketing Plan??

My plan is simply to leverage the web for widespead communications and word of mouth locally to tell as many people as possible about HelloWorld. To me, the product sells itself, especially to people looking to leverage it for their own existing business. It's just a matter of introducing them to it.

All of my hosting is done in Angels Camp CA. Do you work with the ISP providers to get this out...?

Our marketing scheme will start mid summer of 08 and we have a video for the website and brochures. Would we be able to do a small flash demo in the email as well?

If you send me an email at mandreano (at) helloworld.com, I will reply to you to show you what the video email will look like. Also, you can upload any existing media file to your "media vault" and publish it through an email or to your helloWorld blog or link your RSS feed from your helloWorld blog to other sites as well.

I would hate to get a bandwidth hogging flash or video email. I'd much rather have a link in an email that I can retain control of my environment, instead of getting something that auto plays right in the inbox.

Imagine: I am at the office, working quietly, checking my email, and suddenly an unwanted commercial starts blaring away. Leaves a nice impression, no? And if it's blocked by spam or corporate filters, then I see nothing (?? - asking). If so, how is that brand building?

Also, what about blackberries, treos, etc? does it even work for them?

Put the video on your website (and Flash demos are included in that bucket), and link people back to it - put the control back with to your client, not some pushy video that takes control of your screen and speakers.

Can you tell I am opposed to this?

Actually, the email has an image in it of the video (either the first frame, or a "filmstrip" image of the video and you click the image and it will then take you to a new browser window with the actual video message. It does not autoplay.

If I were to try and use this technology to send email in mass, would the email ISP's accept it?

The ISPs would accept it just like any other email with a small/medium embedded image in it. If your emails are rich enough and balanced in text/video images, it should be fine.

For example, while I am emailing people, I usually add 2-3 lines of text (like this message) for an "executive summary" and attach my 30-45 second video that contains the details, etc.
