Tuesday, January 24th, 2012

TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST VIDEO

  • Write a script. Don’t try and adlib. You may think you know your subject really well, but once the camera starts recording you get nervous and stumble.
  • Practice using your phones camera. This helps you iron out your script.
  • Plain clothing, no fancy patterns. Unless your a clown!
  • Don’t waffle, keep it short, better to do 3 two minute videos than one 6 min video.
  • Have a prop or something visual, you just talking will get boring.
  • Make sure you have a clear call to action at the end of the video.

Friday, January 20th, 2012

VIDEOS HELP SALES

  • American site ‘Zappos’, sales increase by 6% to 30% when a product has a video (bought by Amazon for $1.2 billion).
  • A video can show the product being used and how to use it.
  • Demonstrations confirm in the mind of the potential buyer "it does what it is supposed to do", and more importantly how easily it is done.
  • Putting people on camera makes you and your team real to your customers.
  • A video of yourself, say if you are driving instructor or lawyer for instance, can instill confidence in you.

Google (SEO) Tips : Part 4 : Day 2 day updates (well ok perhaps weekly)

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

Add content to you site on a regular basis. Google loves fresh content, especially about your subject.

Make sure your new content includes your keywords and key phrases.

If possible syndicate your articles and link back to your site.

Get links to your site by posting replies in forums. Most forums will allow you to have a signature, where you can link to your website.

If you business to consumer, then link your articles on Facebook.

If you don’t have the resources or knowledge to update your site, employ someone that does, you will see a difference.

If you are struggling for ideas then ask someone outside your organization to interview you, imagine you are at a social occasion and need to explain to someone who doesn’t know your industry.

Thursday, September 15th, 2011

Portrait & Landscape

Mobile phones and tablets have the ability to turn through 90degrees. This means that the web designer needs to make sure the site can ‘Resize’ on the fly. In most cases the phone or phone takes care of the resizing, but a wide website with lots of details is going to struggle.
