Dear SD Readers,
I know I won’t shock you by saying that videos are all the rage right now. You know it, I know it, yes, and everyone knows it, right?

They are an unbelievably powerful way to capture the attention of your target audience.
Let me ask you…Why do so many marketers use simple videos to market their products and affiliate offers?  Because it works and it works great!

People, just like you, are crushing it online simply by uploading videos.
Now, if you think about it for a second, you will realize that smart marketers have invested a considerable amount of time and money on platforms like Youtube, Vimeo or Google Hangouts over the past few years…. Well, especially with Google Hangouts leading the pack nowadays.

However, up until of late, having quality videos used to be a privilege.
But not anymore!
Yes, because a new wave of maverick entrepreneurs like YOU are changing the rules of the game, by taking control of their own marketing!

The issue is, not everyone is taking advantage of this new rave…
First off, ‘Do you have products to sell but have no time to waste?’ or put another way, ‘Do you have people you want to sell their product but have no time to do the marketing?’

If your answer is YES, then I need your attention for five minutes!
Okay, maybe you're not an Internet Marketer yourself, that does not matter, but you have clients who want to market their products. Either way, you’re pressed for time or actually, what you need is to sell more products without investing more time and effort than you are already spending on marketing and promotion.

That's why I'm writing this to you today. I want to tell you about the new and exciting ways that I am able to help you with your Product marketing and sales.

Okay, you guessed right... it’s all about Video Marketing!
Well, I have spent the last few weeks working hard to package all of my experience from working with Product merchants and clients including my other relevant skills into several affordable and effective new ways to market.

And now, you have the opportunity to get your hands on the FREE Tools and the skills of using them to produce your own product quality marketing Videos for yourself and others for profit if you don’t mind! Yes and that you will do that without breaking the bank.

Now, let’s face it; whatever you do online content is still the king…
Therefore, without quality content your site will remain a no-man’s land and you will make no dime from sales!
That’s right.

Gone are the times where you could just ‘slap’ a $5 article on GoArticles and expect floods of traffic coming to your website.

In case you have forgotten, wake up we’re in 2014 now. Yes the times are changing, whether you like it or not!
Now, everyone owns a Wordpress blog, a YouTube Channel AND a Facebook fanpage and the only way to stand out is by screaming out your uniqueness.

And from what I have seen so far, it’s crystal clear that most people have been doing it wrong…or doing it with expensive tools that always leave holes in their pocket.
The truth is…

Uploading a video to Youtube is simple.  Marketers use that strategy to gain traffic, backlinks and ultimately sales.
But... for most people - that is where they stop and it simply isn't enough.

 Not enough 'eyeballs' on your videos, not enough traffic to the sites and when it is all said and done...  NOT ENOUGH SALES!

Look at it this way:

1. Video marketing allows you to instantly brand yourself as an expert or an authority of whatever niche(s) you may be in

2. Many studies agree 100% that video marketing increases sales and user engagement, allowing you to drive more traffic and therefore, make more sales.

3. It is also a fact that videos get 267% more backlinks than normal posts - and 20% of people will read text while 80% will watch a video with same exact content.
Needless to say, video marketing will increase your brand authority, popularity and even your sales… yes, you know that, and I know that too.
 
However, the only problem is…creating quality videos for your marketing without losing your shirt!
 
Let’s face it, creating your videos the proper way does take professional skills. First, you need to figure out what the best image ratio is for videos (and trust me this is already no mean feat).
 
Secondly, you need to think about which are the best fonts for lower third graphics and then find (hopefully not steal) vector images, patterns, call-outs and other graphics to make your videos stand out.
 
Well, you should know how important ‘Call to Action’ strategies are for your videos, right? Yes, they make all the difference between you getting a sale or no sale and also getting 1 to 10 sales per day.
Finally, you need to come up with good-looking designs that can draw visitors to trust your brand and actually buy stuff from you. But, don’t even think about using Paint to do these stuff….You can try with Gimp if you are one of the braves. Well, to be honest, I wouldn’t even recommend these as they are not just laborious but you may end up not getting what you want.

Truth is…

You Don’t Have The Money To Buy Photoshop, You Don’t Have The Skills To Use It Yet And You Don’t Have The Time To Master The Skills.

And maybe to add to that, you don’t have Camtasia or the skill to use it either!
So what do you do?
 
You might try to hire a “lower third graphic designer” on Fiverr…. I can safely bet you’ll be handed yet another sub-par template, your videos will look dirt-cheap and you will likely lose customers over it.
 
Or you might even try to buy some lower third templates from marketplaces like VideoHive…But who wants to shell out $600 just to be able to customize these templates?
 
Yes, most video marketing graphics requires ‘After Effects’ to customize those templates.
 
For the first time ever, we will be showing you how you will create that video without spending through your nose! Yes, you can do it with free tools and we shall be putting them in your hand during the workshop. Well, that is because there is a ‘FREE TOOLS’ alternative for you…and you will create your quality video that will give you sales too!
