This Video idea is flying .. it caught my imagination and I dived straight in!

It's called TXT Video. link to product

I signed up to test it myself! (Video above. Note: contest closed)

My thinking here .. Act quick .. get some Videos out there! (That's what I am doing!)

So what is TXT Video?

It's a simple way to create fun Text style conversations then export as a Video and publish (or include in other Videos you edit.) It's Cloud based, nothing to download (accept your final Videos!)

I think TXT Video will work great for:

• Events
• Webinars
  
• Local Business (inc. Local Video Ads)
• E-commerce
• Storytelling
  
• FB and Instagram Ads
• Reproducing real text chats you have had with customers
  
• Creating & Selling this Video style to clients
• Pure fun for engagement
• and more!

On Wednesday I went to a Facebook event in London called 'Community Boost' and they shared amazing stats about how conversion rates on your site shoot up if folks have first interacted with you on Facebook...

Before we get onto Drones ..

Did you watch the fight last night?

Did you pay for it? :)

KSI v Logan Paul I am talking about of course.

I am making no judgement here on the two individuals and whether YouTube should have banned Logan Paul after his terrible Japan Video.

BUT .. all I can say it that the Event was quite a phenomenon .. two YouTubers who built 18 million (!) or so subscribers each on the platform .. created a HUGE 'Pre-launch' buzz around a Live event using their Vlog channels and fans .. that crossed over to mainstream News Media and they monetized via Pay Per View on YouTube.

$10 a ticket with an estimated 800,000 people paying to watch the Live stream, 15,000 tickets sold to watch inside the stadium! ... That's a lot of $$$$$$$!

(Apparently another 1.2m watched pirated streams on Twitch and elsewhere)

To me this just embodied (albeit on a huge scale) the Power of building your own audience and interaction via Social Video and then charging for Premium Video!
