That every single marketer on the planet is now making videos for us. Imagine just for a moment that you belong to just 20 lists (most of us belong to a lot more than that). Let’s speculate for a moment that each individual ezine list owner creates a video that you absolutely “must see” and “it’s only 10 minutes long to save your time”.
Sounds short enough, right??
Well, now, I’m not a mathematician, but 20 X 10 = 200 minutes out of my busy day. Um, that’s over THREE HOURS of my time! Who among us has 3-plus hours every single day to go watch someone’s video that very likely isn’t teaching them much of anything but rather is more likely pushing a product???
Just a thought that popped into my head, and I thought I’d use it to test Windows Live Writer blog publishing tool right from my desktop. It works fabulously, by the way. It is still in beta, and it is free from Microsoft… cool.
Hey, wanna go watch a video? haha….. but seriously, perhaps we all should consider this in view of keeping our subscribers happy, and ONLY publish a video if we have something ultra-special to impart to our lists or if it isn’t something already over-saturated in the marketplace.
