Hello All,

I'm not at all clued-up re IT / Web issues etc but I'm in the process of getting the content together for my intended web-site and have heard that some video helps to get you found sooner via google (youtube links etc)?

Is that BS and is it worth inc say, 12 seconds as suggested, to improve your hit-rate?

Regards

Paul

Subject: Re: [entrepreneur-1056] Video demo

 

I see a lot of business plans and investment pitches every week, and from an investor's or mentor's perspective I hate video. I can't digest it easily whilst on the move, I can't print it out, and if it moves at a snail's pace I'm a captive, bored audience… or rather, I'm not, because I'll only watch a second or two.

12secondsTV (http://12seconds.tv/) are on to a winner with their 12-second videos, but I think they'd be twice as good if they were 6secondsTV.

Yes, video can show that you're creative, and it can be effective, but that's all about how and where you use it. Just as you should be disciplined to keep other pitches short, keep your video short if it's a primary pitch resource, and provide the data in other formats.

Video is an emotive topic and I'm sure everyone will have a different view. I'm not writing from a customer's POV. No doubt plenty of investors here will say they love it!

Hi all,

My start-up specialised in IT healthcare would need some advice and help to build a short video demo that aims at :

1.  giving a good glance of our application features once a new user has logged in
2. attract some interest (from customers,investors,experts)

I would be grateful to benefit from the experience and advices of some of you who might already have done it and hopefully this would be helpful for others like me.

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards,
Barbara
