But just like squeeze pages or sales letters they should be structured according to a formula that works. A bad video can hurt sales just as easily. Split testing is a must.

I believe Darren is also interested enough in the production process that he will work through the production learning curve at least enough to learn how to avoid the common mistakes that many D-I-Y video producers (especially bloggers) make. Most seeking to produce video for their blogs will not be enthusiasts and would do better to partner with a local producer (say a local wedding videographer with some time on his/her hands) in return for allowing the partner to advertise within the video. Such a partnership could lead to video that is several steps beyond the quality of any D-I-Y effort, will free you up to focus on content/blogging not production and allow you to take your show on the road (interview local personalities, cover related events and broaden your content in general.). While my production company supports commercial needs, I know of many non commercial producers (wedding video firms, etc) who if pitched this idea would welcome the opportunity to partner.

I have arranged with a web site that carries podcasts to have both my podcasts and videos on its site. When you go to WWITVN.com you click on Carole Nelson and it takes you to a choice of two shows. Each contains a blog, welcoming video and past shows. The blog they see is actually wordpress but of course wordpress doesn't allow ads so the way to reach me by e-mail carole@wwitvn.com I am new enough at this to perhaps being making a big mistake in the way it is set up. Would advertisers go this site or does it have to be a conventional blog? I am starting a new talk show Carole Nelson Live on WWBC 1510 in Melbourne Fl. in May. I figure I can cross promote although I also have paid interviews (if I think they have worthwhile content). I have been in TV and radio for 30 years but integrated marketing is new to me.
