A lot of marketing and advertising gurus have been touting on the web video as the way of the future.

They extol video as a replacement to boring and static text.

Whilst I have to admit that I truly like making use of on-line videos for promote my web sites, I feel that replacing all your text with video is silly. There are a lot of times when Id much rather read an article or a manual than watch a video.

Also, when Im reading a book or the newspaper, I can highlight something I feel is specifically crucial, and I can rip out just the pages that I think are relevant to me.

Also, you can skim an complete book and have a fairly good idea what its about. Skimming a video just doesnt perform as well.

Then theres the reality that you can read anyplace. If youre sitting flying in an watch anime free airplane, you can read a book the whole time. You cant watch a video the complete time. Watching video also requires technologies like DVD players or laptops which calls for batteries or a plug. When youre reading all your require is light.

1 application where I like video is when its accompanied by an article, not the replacement for it. For example, when I record videos and place them on my blog, I often try to include a text version for what Im saying in my videos so that if a visitor doesnt want to watch my videos or cant, then they can nonetheless get the gist of what Im saying by reading the accompanying text.

When youre making use of videos as a advertising strategy, 1 thing you need to be aware of is that not everybody has broadband. If your target market place only includes broadband users, then fine, but if some of your clients are on dialup, then make positive you supplement with text.

So even though video may possibly really properly be the way of the future, its in no way going to entirely replace text, nor really should it.
