Vídeo en lugar de la fuerza de venta

by bevilacqua on 17 junio, 2009 in Evergreen, Internet TV, Promoción, Vídeo with 4 Comments

Funda invisible de vinilo para todos los modelos de iPhones, LG Arenas, Flip Camcorders, smartphones y móviles o de cómo una vídeo demostración vende  y además convierte a los compradores en su fuerza de venta.

Tengo un gadget nuevo, una videocamara en HD, más pequeña que un móvil.  Es tan ligera y fácil de usar que no tiene ni el libro de instrucciones. Y hace vídeos en HD incluso con poca luz.  Si a alguien le interesa, es una Flip Mino  HD ,   a googlear o a esperar que suba las pruebas de grabación en movimiento, con poca luz, con el trípode…  es en lo que estamos estos días. No se vende en España, pero puedo compartir mi experiencia de compra. Si te interesa, envía una nota.

A lo que voy es a otra cosa.  Acabo de encontrar la solución a su único fallo:  se ralla. La pócima se llama Zagg Invisible shield y cuesta menos de veinte euros.  La vídeo demostración dura solo unos segundos:

Si una imagen vale más que mil palabras, ¿ queda quien dude de que un vídeo vale más que mil imageness?

Lo compro. iPhone 3g fans, éste es el enlace directo :-)  http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/apple-iphone-3g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

Que conste que no tengo nada que ver ni con Zagg ni con Flip, mi contribución ‘comercial’ es completamente voluntaria.

Emprearios en crisis, ¡aplicaos!

El autor de la Semana Laboral de 4 horas habla para  TED (Tecnology, entrtainment & Design) sobre cómo una pregunta tan simple como ‘qué es lo que podría ir peor’  es todo lo que hay que hacer para aprender  o hacer cualquier cosa.. :-)

aquistán no es el primer país que bloquea el acceso a la web de vídeos de You Tube. Antes ya lo hicieron en Brasil y en Tailandia, pero esta es la primera vez que una censura del servicio a nivel local tiene repercusiones en los acceso a esta web desde otros países.

Beta Adsense for Videos is here

by emoticon on 21 febrero, 2008 in Internet TV with Comentarios desactivados

This time, Google’s beta tag means something – to become a user,publishers will need to have English-language, U.S.-based sites, and serve at least one million video streams per month. But, beta tag or not, AdSense for video has officially arrived.
Google has promised that it will expand the program “in the near future.” Meanwhile, sites like BobVila.com, MyDamnChannel, and blip.tv are getting to experience a sort of test drive. And for a description of what they’re seeing (we’re assuming you don’t want to chase down and sit through random videos), we can turn to the Official Google Blog.
Shamim Samadi and Ryan Hayward write, “This approach takes the same non-intrusive InVideo ad format used on YouTube and extends it across video partner sites on the Google Content Network. This enables advertisers to run a single campaign across the largest network of online video content.”
Also, in the event that you want to watch a carefully selected clip, something on the Inside AdSense blog provides more information about Google, video content, and revenue.
All of this points back to what we covered in the opening: if you’re not close buds with Google, AdSense for video is still a little out of reach. There’s no reason you can’t scope it out, though, and be ready to accept (or reject) the program as it approaches a wider release.

11 Ways To Drive Traffíc Away From Your Website

Read in an article by Jerry Bader, MRPwebmedia

…….

Don’t Speed-It-Up; Slow-It-Down
How many times have you sat in front of the computer with your hand resting on your mouse searching for some desired product, service, or information, when all of sudden you find what looks like what you want, but before you even have a chance to discover exactly what it is, your hair-trigger finger decides it’s time to move-on. It’s like your finger has a mind of it’s own.
Speed Kills Marketing Efforts
All the talk and discussion about short attention spans caused by people raised on video games and quick-cut-edited music videos is very misleading.
What website visitors won’t tolerate are websites that waste their time, and many websites are guilty of exactly that. Contrary to popular belief, the job of a website designer, who understands marketing, is not to speed up website visitors, but to slow them down so they can absorb the marketing message.
If you want your audience to remember you, if you want to make an impression, if you want website visitors to understand why they should give you their business, then you have to slow them down long enough to absorb your message. And that message better be worth their while or they will nevër come back.

It isn’t about how fast a page loads; it’s about delivering an appropriate payoff for the wait.
Now I will admit there are people who absolutely, positively will not wait more than eight seconds for anything to load. You know who you are. And I say, the hell with them. These are the same people who won’t wait their turn in a brick and mortar store either, they demand to be served before everyone else – it’s just not possible to satisfy these people, so why design your entire website marketing around them. They are nevër going to hang around long enough to grasp your message and learn why they should be giving you their business, so forget about them.
The people you should be worrying about are the ones that really want to find out more about what it is you do, and are prepared to invest a little time and effort to give you a chance to explain yourself. These are the important people; this is your real audience, and you disappoint them at your financial peril.
The Reasons Why Web-users Are Impatient
The real reason website users are so damn impatient is not that they have such short attention spans, it’s because most websites are designed to meet perceived company objectives, rather than audience needs.
