Click on Get this Video Code - Notice how ours are organized with titles such as “Award-Winning Ballroom Dance Course Medium”
We give them titles that are user friendly (the people viewing them) but the last word is always the size so they are easy to find.
We have three sizes: Small, Medium, and Large.

Optimizing Video for Conversions - What to Test?
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Video Marketing, Web Design on February 1st, 2010
Daniel Sevitt wrote a great post on the ReelSEO blog about what to test when optimizing video for conversions.
Here are some of the highlights, but I highly recommend checking out his full post. There is a LOT to it.
As he points out first, video works. Simple as that. That being said, bad videos don’t convert, any video can be made better to increase conversions, and sometimes, depending on the product, video reduces conversions.
But here is what to he suggests to test to get the highest possible conversions for your video. I have highlighted the most relevant ones to our courses.
- Video or No Video - sometimes, it’s not the right thing for your site.
- Should it Autoplay or Not? - I hate autoplay. you probably do too. But guess what? Sometimes it works!
- The Call to Action
- Video Length
- Triggers - Think of these as miniature calls to action as Sevitt says.
- Voiceover - Man, woman, young, old, Midwestern professional or California surfer dude?
- Music
Read the full post, take your time tweaking and testing, and you will be well on your way to videos with really high conversions!

How to Make Your Own Video in ShareASale
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Video Marketing, Web Design on November 13th, 2009
Are you a ShareASale affiliate with some great ideas to make your own videos promoting Learn & Master products? If so, then this tutorial is for you.
Brian Littleton put together a great how-to video on how to add the video, select player settings, video size, add cue points (more on this below), and select other features for your video.
The Cue Point Builder is absolutely awesome. It allows you to add ads at various points within the video. These cue points allow you to pick specific times during the video to show a relevant ad, such as during this example, there is a reference to dancing, so Brian adds an cue point for an ad for our Learn & Master Ballroom Dance course.
You can view the tutorial below. It really is a great tool! Enjoy
