Recently, I’ve become a bigger and bigger fan of videos (I know I am quite late on this craze). But, as I’ve begun testing videos, my promotional results have been going through the roof!
This is funny, but even if I make a screen capture video and I never move off of a page, but just talk the whole time – I STILL get better results than a regular promotion.
I think it pretty much makes sense, not only is it *new* but TV has proven that we rather just sit there and watch something than read or even listen to it (I know that’s true with me).
On that note, lately, at the AC blog, we’ve had a lot of “case study” posts and other posts regarding videos. Well, the CEO of 10SpeedMedia.com noticed that and hunted me down at the Affiliate Summit.
All I can say is that they are doing some very cool things there, not sure yet if it will catch any wind, but DEFINITELY a great idea (which is what I am jealous of 
They are creating an affiliate network all based on video promotions (and last I heard they’re even helping their clients create the video ad!).
I just thought everyone should be aware of this, given YouTube.com, Google videos and the many other video sites being released, we should keep an eye on 10SpeeedMedia.com.
Chris Knudsen (the CEO) showed me a live example at his blog – Check it out…
The 10SpeedMedia.com site is interesting, although it would have been great to learn a bit more about what is on offer.
Also some of the JiveCast videos are no longer available, which doesn’t give such a good impression.
However, there is enormous potential in marketing and promotion using Audio-Video presentations, and this is something we should all be trying to get into as quickly as possible! (I’m learning about Camtasia Studio at present, and it’s an impressive package.)
Any more news or comment on Video will be very welcome. I would be particularly interested to learn of services which will both host Video, as well as enable public access to selected videos to be billed at a moderate cost (in the same way you can automatically receive payment each time an eBook is downloaded).

Hey Geoffrey,
yeap, well they seem fairly new. It just happened to be one of the more interesting new concepts I have seen lately.
My guess is if they execute properly, this could be something big!
