Increase Your Sales by Using Short Videos To Grab Your Customers Attention and Convert Them From Browsers To Buyers!

I'm sure you've noticed that selling in a crowded market is tough. With more and more sellers coming online everyday it's hard to stand out from the crowd. However, there is an easy way you can stay ahead of the competition. It's using video clips in your auction listings or on your website.

There are so many ways to record a video now it's easy to get a short product demo that will make your listing raise above the crowd. And with You Tube it's free to get your movie in front of thousands, possibly millions of eyes. Camcorder makers and software companies have done an amazing job of making videos fairly easy to shoot and edit. That is, if you know a few simple steps.

My name is Cindy Shebley, I'm the author of Easy Auction Photography. Before becoming an eBay PowerSeller I grew up around photography and majored in Mass Communications - which included time as a videographer and audio engineer. So, it came as a bit of a surprise, first the amazing quality that consumer camcorders produce and second, how everyone can edit and produce quality videos at home. Now, anyone can create videos that will sell their products. The investment is minor, all's you need is a way to record a video, a computer and software (some of which is free and already installed on your computer).

Now instead of sitting inside a dark control room with slider bars, knobs and tubes you can simply record the video, upload it to our computers and start editing out the bad parts. But long before you can get to that part you should know a few things to get started.

For example:

• What type of camcorder do you need?

• How do you light a video?

• Do you have to have sound, and if so why can't you get good sound with your on camera microphone?

• How do you create a mood that will entice buyers to spend money on the product?

• How long should your video be and how do you map out the production?

When I bought my first camcorder I received a nice DVD from the manufacture introducing me to simple techniques for taking videos. But the DVD provided no solid information about how to get the footage from the camera to my computer, how to save it (it's called rendering in video terms) or how to edit the movie for best viewing by everyone. Without this information, I was hesitant to start. It seemed too complicated! And I spent time in a TV control room! LOL - of course that was a few years ago, before the digital revolution and a few things have changed.

Now as long as you know some basic set-up techniques, you have the proper lighting and a plan making a video that will sell your product is easier than you might think.

I had to go back from the beginning throw out a lot of the stuff I thought I knew and relearn how to produce a short video. It took me hours of research and I had to pay good money to join membership sites, do searches on the Internet and drill down into the camcorder websites to find information. 

As I worked my through the steps of taking videos, transferring the files to my computer, editing them and putting them on You Tube and then into my eBay listings I realized that this process isn't brain surgery, but to get the best quality video for your listing it does require a few very precise steps.

I know staying competitive in a crowed market is hard, and this is why I decided to share my video creation techniques so you can maximize using video to showcase your products and minimize the time and frustration. I've created a video series designed specifically for online sellers who want to stay a step ahead of their competition.

When you are ready to start producing videos that sell your products this series will show you:

Wow, it seems like there is a lot to learn to take advantage of this exciting new medium! However, you can bet your competition is wondering how they can stay ahead of the sales and will soon, if not already, be using video clips in their marketing.

If you do a search on the Internet you'll see lots of proof that adding videos to websites and listings improve conversion rates - no matter if your goal is to sell a product or add subscribers to your newsletters. Here are some of the facts that can be found:

In a case study done by Google using video AdWords a user saw a immediate 15% increase in sales and over the next couple of months his sales went up 40%!

A marketing company tested using videos to increase subscriber rate and found a 1.5% conversion from viewers to subscribers using a non-sales video, in other words one designed to entertain, not sell, and they still got newsletter subscribers.

One blogger estimates that after using video in his Yahoo store that traffic has been up 35%

My subscriber rate doubled earlier this year when I added videos to my newsletters.
