We know that the Internet has changed the way we do business. We've seen commerce transform from face-to-face transactions to computer-driven, anonymous ones. It's never been easier to reach potential customers. However, it's never been more difficult to stand out from the crowd.

Web 2.0 brought us blogs, wikis, social networking and new ways to go about network marketing. Internet business was turned on its head when companies and customers began connecting on a personal level. Of all the methods we use to attract new business, attraction marketing is the buzz of the moment. Attraction marketing has risen from the ashes of the hard sell, the cold call and the trained salesperson. You can use attraction marketing to create a lifelong customer, not just a one-time sale.

The use of videos and network marketing together is a perfect example of this philosophy. Video marketing provides a never-ending stream of prospective customers. There is no pressure to buy what you're selling. Potential customers simply watch the videos you distribute. If they like what they see, they can visit your website.

The best thing about using video marketing in your Internet marketing campaigns is that you don't have to be a professional filmmaker to produce an effective video. A low-budget video can attract just as many viewers as an expensive professional video, provided the content is great. If you've ever wondered how to use videos for network marketing, here is a short primer to get you started.

* Quality content is an absolute must. Don't make a video just to sell something. Make a video to add something positive to the Internet. Be amusing, be helpful, or just share your expertise. Make sure that your viewers walk away from the experience feeling that they've just spent their time wisely.

* Appear friendly and personable. How long do you think people will watch a video featuring an uncomfortable-looking salesperson? If you sound like you're reading a script or look like you're doing your first video, prospective customers will click on that little red "X" pretty quickly.

* Make your video as high-quality as possible. Obviously, most of us can't afford a soundstage and professional equipment. But your marketing videos shouldn't look like they were shot from a cell phone camera. Look at the first point again. Content trumps video quality, so if all you can afford is a handheld camcorder, don't let that stop you. Do make sure that your content is top-notch in any case, though.

* Be sure to mention your website at the end of the video. Don't oversell it; just put it out there.

* Video marketing is all about connecting with your customers. What do they want? What do they care about? What would make them sit down and pay attention to you? Determine those answers and you'll know how to reach them through videos.
