Three Reasons You Need Video In Your Marketing Plan

I have such a passion to see people use the tools available online to promote their gifts and callings online. Video is one of those passions.

In this BlogTalk Radio special (and intro using the new Easy Video Producer), I share the three P's of why you should take advantage of using video as part of your ministry marketing plan online.

Here's the full version on my Keys To Be Free Blog Talk Show:





The three p's center on:

1) The POWER of video online. Recent studies by the Wharton School of Business for one, show that video boosts comprehension and retention by 50% over live presentations. Another study shows that video increases a viewers memory or recall of information shown to them by 50% over print material. Video is shown to convert a potential customer three times higher than printed material.

Ann Sieg just released her latest amazing E-Book called "The Atrraction Marketers Manifesto", where she quotes some astounding statistics about the internet.

For one, she states, "People are starting to use the internet more than they watch tv..or even read the newspaper."

She quotes a powerful fact from a recent Jupiter research report that found that more than 25% of the people they studied have cut back on watching TV...so they can spend more time on the internet.

"On top of that," Ann writes, "18% of people in the study said they were reading newspapers less and getting more information on the internet instead."

She concludes with the obvious fact, "Thanks to the internet, you can now get your message in front of more prospects than ever before in the history of the world."

2) Passion

Video is one tool where people can really see your passion on what you enjoy. If you have passion about something, it usually means you know quite a bit about the subject. With video you can get that visual connection to create a lasting impression. You can connect emotionally, personally, showing forth your own integrity. You can't fake passion. You build trust as you share your knowledge and passion.

3) Prepares

Video prepares your viewer to receive more from you. You can impact them giving them a call to action. You can blend your message and personality giving them a desire to want more from you.

For example, you could be a traveling evangelist sharing the Word with your video ministry. Someone could see you and think "Hey, I want him to come to my church and preach."

One great example I point to often is my client and friend Rev. Harriet Bradley. She has a passion to share the Word and help people be healed emotionally from past abuse and pain. She has now incorporated video into her ministry marketing plan sharing the wisdom she has with her viewers. They in turn can see her, find her online at JustJesusTV or FaceBook, and ask her to do a weekend seminar.

So How DO I Do This? What's THE Solution?



So you can see the some of the many reasons why you want to incorporate video, but you ask, "HOW"??

You are not technically inclined. You may not really care for learning about cameras and microphones but you want to use video.

Now, with the The Easy Video Producer, you can have a tool that is not only free and easy to use but also gives you tools to put that video onto your own ministry pages, Facebook, opt in page, or on your blog.

Here's a video explaining just how easy this is to do:









I'd love to share more information regarding using video in your ministry marketing plan whether it involves your music, your church, or some other form of ministry.

Currently I'm putting together a New Video Series (to go with the first basic instructional video series) that will cover such topics as: "Why Video Marketing?, "Understanding The Power of Video", "How to Stream Your Video Live", and "Keys to Using The Easy Video Producer"......

Let's see you go forward in the direction of your destiny with your ministry!

Using The Power Of Web Video For Your Marketing Plan

Now is the time to use web video for your business or ministry marketing plan, your videoministry, marketing your Christian music or group, and for reaching out for greater exposure online.

I really have a heart for those who are trying to do this for ministry. One of my passions is to help with web video in particular. For some, video production online can seem too complicated, "techy" or simply a daunting task.

It does not have to be!

If you have a heart for using video for online promotion and ministry, I'd like to introduce one simple online video tool to consider. The best part is it's free and comes with the potential to help you gain valuable connections. Even if ministry is not your focus, but business online is, I think you too will see the value in this tool.

Here is an example of the power behind the idea of the easy web video plan for ministry:








In light of ministry online, consider this.You can start your free video ministry today and take advantage of the trend of people watching more Christian online videos, podcasts, or UstreamTV Christian TV.

In a recent article about "E-vangelism" in Charisma Magazine, they reported on the growing number of people reaching out online to receive spiritual help. Here is proof that now, more than ever before, you need to take advantage of an easy vido tool and use it for your videoministry, and ministry marketing.

One study they wrote about in this article was by the Barna Group. Their study revealed that nearly one in four adults said they downloaded a church podcast in the last week.



David Kinnaman, the lead researcher on this particular study says in essence that:

"Technology presents a newfound opportunity for ministers to evangelize a worldwide audience."

Another prominent voice in this move toward more Christian online videos and ministry is Phil Cooke, president of Cooke Pictures. He says that Christian ministries and media need to be active in engaging a one on one conversation with a generation accustomed to giving their opinions and thoughts on Web sites.

"It's far more than having a fancy Web site and cool grapics, says Cooke, author of BRANDING FAITH, a book about telling powerful stories in a media-dominated culture that changes people's lives inside and out.

"The thing we have to understand is what is the story we are trying to tell. What is the audience that is interested in that story and how do we connect with that audience? Until we understand that, all the other things don't matter,"Cooke states.





So what is God saying to you? You can't use the excuse about not having money. If you have a computer and a web cam, you can have your own free video ministry. Now, if you don't have a web cam, I hope you'll have the diligence to save like my friend Rev. Harriet Bradley did, to start her own free videoministry!


You can also see this example with Bishop CD Miller with her Just Jesus website, among other powerful free tools she uses for her videoministry.
