I've long recommended JV merchants to use video in their JV introductions (on the JV squeeze, generally), in their prospect introduction & pre sell content.

It's starting to become a Web 2.0 staple right alongside article, squidoo lense, hub page, and digg submissions to post videos to all the popular video hosting services ... for both merchants and their JV partners.

Two early adapters on the affiliate side of video promotion are fellow partners Michael Rasmussen and Dave Guindon, both greatly increasing the size of their lists ... and subscriber productivity, major success as affiliates, and much higher sales of their own products ... since incorporating video.

I'm sure a major reason for this is that using a medium like the Internet has many advantages, but one major disadvantage is the obvious lack of physical interaction. Notice that as we have gone from simple text to graphics ... and then voice, and finally video ... we are coming closer and closer to that physical interaction that provides the maximum sight and sound connection, and personal touch, we can achieve without actually making actual eye to eye physical contact.

Do you have anything you have either tried or have thought of trying, video wise, that might benefit this discussion?

Please ... feel free, as this is a very important topic ... red hot.

Cheers,

Mike
