This time someone interviews me. A friend of mine - Bob Thordarson, CEO of BluCapp, Inc. interviewed me about online video for a webinar he was putting together. He gave me a copy of the final video so I wanted to share it here on the Expand2Web Podcast.
In the interview we shared some interesting stats about how huge online video is, and some examples of small business owners using simple online videos to promote their business.
We also discussed how online video is a perfect tool for affiliate marketing (if done right) and even some killer tips on how to set up and optimize your YouTube channel and videos.

Interview Highlights
Here are a few of the things we discuss in the interview:
What a huge opportunity online video is for online marketers today, and back it up with some amazing stats.
Some specific examples of how small businesses and affiliate marketers are using video to get an edge in the universal search results.
A really simple and inexpensive way to make a video even if you are too shy for the camera.
And a story of how my daughters (8 and 11 at the time) made $500 by entering an online video contest with a funny product video!
By the way, while editing the transcript, I can see that I said the word "right?" about ten thousand times. I'll be sure to lose that annoying habit in the next podcast!
