I agree with you on your post but in addition, videos tend to send the message more straight forward and time conscious than reading it in text form. but note that the video must be short so as not to waste the visitor time and make it boring.the video should be concise and straight to the point.

Main advantage of videos are, they can be placed any where in internet like youtube, vimeo etc., apart from their own website.
Advantages of video marketing are:
1. Video can lock the user for a long time.
2. Along with audio and marketing with the help of video visuals can effectively be promoted.
3. Video promotion is more cost efficient than other way of marketing.
4. Video marketing is the best strategy to meet the challenges of the competitive world.
5. A video can be marketed for long time.
6. They are one click away from “buy” or interact button of website.

I am probably the odd one out here.

I never use videos. I don't like seeing other peoples videos. Having to sit there through
"i just wanted to shoot this quick video" and 15 minutes later they haven't got to the point or told you what they are selling or what the product does.

I prefer having a text sales page. It does well for me.
I also prefer having to read the content, without having it dictated to me.

I know i am leaving money on the table by not using it. But there are other things for me to get on with before i learn video.

I would agree with the part about watching a video for over 15 minutes. That's way too long. It's certainly better to create shorter videos that immediately capture a prospect's attention.

Yeah I back this massively. Another benefit is that you can convey yourself and your personality effectively and use that to sell the products. People buy from those they know like and trust. So develop a real relationship with them, provide massive value, etc.

ALSO I find recording a 5 minute video a lot easier than writing out an extensive blog post. Might be just me. I also prefer it too, I can get myself across more effectively and with less effort.

If you're even considering it... Give it a go! Try starting your own YouTube channel and making a short 1 minute video about yourself. You don't even have to make it public, just upload it unlisted or private if you want. That'll help you overcome the fear of doing it, of putting yourself out there. And realize you're not alone if you're reluctant to do it. There are a million and one reasons your brain comes up with not to, but don't listen to them if you want to do this. Just get started, and then keep going. Take the first step.

Cheers
