    Humanize Your Website With Live Chatting

    People just want to be heard.

    To be seen.

    To know that they matter.

    They want to be in relation to real people, not stuffy avatars, or typical cookie cutter scripted videos.  ~And that includes on your website!


    Here's an idea: how about adding a chat widget to your website so you can engage in real time with new visitors to your site?   It's immediate, real life contact.  And if you're not available, there are even some  services that can pick up the slack and do the initial chatting on your behalf; gathering vital contact data and questions and forwarding them to you via email for further followup.

    For example, when you become aware that someone is perusing your site, a chat could immediately launch:

    "Hello!  Thank you for visiting my site, it's a pleasure to see you! My name is Annie, may I have your name?

    And if it's someone chatting on your behalf, their goal should also be to secure contact info. so you or someone who represents you can followup.  For example,

    "Before we proceed, may I have your phone number and email address in case we get disconnected?"  

    Or, 

    "The next step would be for me to have one of our team members contact you to answer additional questions and off you additional support. "


    You could ask, "Would you like to be contacted?" or "Would you like to be put on a mailing list?" Or even better: 


     "I'll be happy to send you an information packet (or report, etc) via email." 


    And finally, to seal the deal and develop rapport and further connection,


    "Thank you for contacting me. Please take a moment to watch our informational video here____"

    This is a great example of creative lead generation, leading to better ROI  (return on investment), and conversions.

    Try it out!  Lemme know me know what you think!  :)

    Monetize Video Curation? "Magnify"

    ComScore Video Metrix reported that in September 2011, 182 million Americans watched about 19.5 hours of online video each, for a grand total of 39.8 billion (yes BILLION) views.   That is a lot of video consumption.  And that is probably also a lot of hunting and sifting of videos.  As video consumption and production continues to explode, we'll need ways to manage the sheer magnitude of content.  Queue the curator, the source that we trust, helping us filter out the garbage, turn down the volume, and pre-screen the noise.  Like article curation, video curation interests me - as does the potentiality for the monetization of those efforts.
