Video advertising is very effective especially on sites like Youtube. I do agree with your comments about the video not being a blatant advertisement. The person that watches your video should have something to gain from video. This is probably why instructional videos do well.

Hi there! I know I personally do not want to watch an informercial – but instead I would prefer something entertaining (preferably funny) that I then would pass on to friends. Any other comments on this?

Associate Money – perhaps you can take a look at some popular online videos to get some ideas …

regarding "blatant"… if you're interrupting other behavior, and by other I mean they aren't interested in viewing an ad, i agree that being overly commercialized can be a detractor. however, there are times (the best times, in my opinion) where the consumer has asked for advertising to be shown, then it's time to not be shy.

if you hand out flyers at the mall, dress inconspicuouly and be sly. if the consumer has walked into your shop, wear the shop owner hat loudly. if the consumer says to you "i'd like to see what you've got", prepare to strip with a smile and leave incognito to the wind.

"Remember not to make the video a blatant advertisement."

I have not done any video marketing before and will like to seek your advice. Will putting a website url in the background be considered blatant?
