well dont you think that creating a video can take up a good amount of time? A video well made should take the time required to create several blog posts. However, this is just my idea, and surely a video will help your post, but the time should be a consideration.

[...] I’ve been speaking with Derek over the last few days – he did do a guest post on here about affiliate marketing with video and although it seems like a good idea, it seems that very few bloggers (me included) are doing [...]

Hey egk, You are absolutely correct! Video should never ever replace text. Instead it should compliment your landing page text. I would say approx. 50% of the video will contain stuff that could be found in the text. The thing to remember, is that you don't want to just sit there and read some text, you want to keep it simple, short, and sweet! You want to touch on the highlights, features, etc... The reason I say about 50% is because you'll also want your video to include things that aren't in the text for those that watch the video and then also read the text. If you just include the key features in the video and stuff like that, if they read it again in your text it will only help to make those key benefits stick in their head. The other 50% you want to make the video likable, this could be by using comedy a little, or something unique or bizarre, or whatever. You'll have to test and see what works. Just reading your text and putting it into a video won't entice your visitors to watch it which is the goal! Derek Salyers's last blog post..Question and Answer

Video sounds like a great idea but obviously it shouldn’t be used in place of text. The surrounding text will be what search engines pick up as they obviously can’t view videos. How much of your video is just a repeat of the surrounding text?
