The Video Camera Buyer’s Guide: What to Buy and Where to Get It

Here are two MAJOR reasons why web video works.

1. A video on your landing page makes that personal contact with your website visitors. You can say in a 1 minute video what it would take a few pages of marketing copy to say.

2.  People are inherently lazy and would much prefer to hear and see the main features and benefits of a product or service, rather than wade through pages of web content to try and find the information themselves.

Until now the reason most people have not adopted video is that it has been expensive, needs expertise, or is difficult.

Also once you have your video equipment you have the difficulty of knowing how to best set it up.

You could of course hire a video marketing agency to do the videos for you,  but a friend of mine was recently quoted $14,000 to create just two marketing videos for his furniture business.

At this price, I would definitely choose to do it myself.

The guys who created traffic geyser have submitted more than 3 million Web videos and have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars researching and experimenting which camera equipment works best.
