Virtual Information Marketing Is It The Future of IM?

[finesse7]

Hey Bryan Dulaney here...

I was on the call with Rob Toth the other day from Info-Riches.com and was interviewed on 3 primary questions:

1. Where is the future of Info-Marketing headed?
2. What is your number 1 success tip?
3. What is the biggest challenge or obstacle to Info Marketers?

You can listen to my FREE interview at: http://info-riches.com/blog/futureofinfomarketingcom-series-brian-dulaney/
(He spelled my name wrong...I'll have to forgive him)

The primary premise of the call was the future of information marketing. As you can see the internet is becoming loaded with Video content and that's primarily because people would rather watch a video than ready any day.

I'm not sure if you saw Mike Koenigs speaking with Tony Robbins about integrating Web 2.0 and Video Marketing into his strategy.

Since 57%+ of the internet space is video...if you're not including video in your marketing you are way behind the times.
Tony Robbins is just tapping into the power of it though ; )

So here's my question:

What do you think about Virtual Information Marketing?

What comes to your mind?

Have you seen a Virtual Event?

Have you heard about Second Life?

How about Myspaces Virtual Community?

Well I can tell you what Microsoft, Dell, AMD, Sun, Lenova, Cray, Verari, Appro, VMWare, Oracle, The Energy Forum etc...think about them!

They are using Virtual Platforms to interact with Buyers.

Give me your thoughts but Remember this is Web 3.0 and while everyone is so caught up in Web 2.0 the innovators are creating Web 3.0!
How would you like to be the guy or gal who had market share of You Tube right before they went public?

I look forward to our discussion either way...

Best,

Bryan Dulaney

DEFINITELY!

If you ain't integrating video into your sales and products then you're being left behind.

My upcoming launch will be using a video sales letter for the OTO and the product is completely visual/video base. Also implementing the 'physical product' side of things with them all on DVD, and digitally of course ;)

Live video seminar events will start to pop up more n more as theres the ability to fill a 1000 seat virtual room, while the presenters can be scattered all over the world!

Although a lot of the time it is about the 'networking' so offline events will still kick on.

You had me at 3.0 :P

What product launch do you have coming up?

Yes, offline events will always live on as long as gas doesn't go to $10/gallon!

We're behind our computers enough and seminars and marketing conventions are always the best for deal making...

I got an email from Eben Pagan the other day that talked about How he was going to host a Trade Show for Internet Marketing and Online Business.

That's a Great idea and you better believe that I will be there, will you?

Hi Bryan,

since you've been interviewed about it, it seems you are an expert on the topic.
Can you share a few of your thoughts with us?

Thanks,
Ralf

Hey Bryan,

I agree we are headed in a multimedia direction. Think about the recent launch of traffic crusher, that 30+ minute video is converting traffic into buyers at around 2.3%. That is pretty good with no video. Of course the results are not typical because the people promoting are big name marketers, and the response rate from sponsored mailings are always high, but still it's good for a $500 product.

No one, or at least very few people sell only e-books anymore. Plus video has to be the greatest form of free advertising conceivable. Plus interacting with your prospects and consumers has always proven to increase response rates and video is one of the most effective ways to do it.

Plain and simple, marketing without video in 2009 is dead. Good luck to everyone in implementing video effectively.
