I Am Camera Shy! Is Video Marketing For Everyone?

Lylette Primell Thoughts are Things
Do you use surf exchanges or safe
lists?
Have you ever clicked on a
link only to feel totally aggravated by the video that pops up. In many
cases an animated face and voice with uncoordinated hand gesticulations
screaming at you.
Telling you that you need this or that product immediately to be on
your way to your first million, best body weight, skin tone or whatever!
By the same token! Have you ever clicked on one of these links and
there pops up a face and voice that is so engaging that it seems to be
talking to you and you alone.
You give your entire attention over to it, your hand paused, your
mouse forgotten. You listen in total silence to the entire video and at
the end your feel like you have gained something valuable.
Now the question: Do you think that Video Marketing is for
everyone?
I have pondered this for a while now especially with all the modern
internet marketing gurus telling us that the next frontier in online
marketing is Video Marketing?
What do you do then if you are one of those people who fall apart in
front of a camera, you end up looking like crap, you suffer from instant
vocal paralysis and you come off as appealing as a porcupine?
With that said! Does it mean that those of us who cannot for whatever
reason master video marketing have to give up the idea of marketing
online? I don't think so.
Here I think that I'll have to argue that the way to approach
internet marketing with any hope of success is to figure out or know
what your strengths are and use those to their maximum potential.
To my mind there is no point making videos that no one will pay
attention to if you can write great content that someone is more likely
to read.
So if you think that video marketing is not for you or that you are
not yet ready to take on the camera. All you have to do is use other
means of reaching your target audience.
Some of these could include blogging, article marketing, news
letters, email marketing, social networking, bookmarking, search engine
optimization just to give a quick list.
Most of all recognize what you are most adept at and put most
if not all of your energy into that area.
I think it would be wise to leave video marketing for those who are
good at it.
In the meantime as you learn, grow and develop
your skills
as an internet marketer you too may come to a place where you will one
day master video marketing.

Nice Job!
I am not one for video marketing either. I have tried it but I feel like a dork talking into a camera. But there is another way to do video marketing and that is make a video that looks more like a power point presentation that shows how to do something.
You're video marketing is not for everyone and they find something they are comfortable doing. It has to be funny not feel like a task.
