Inexpensive Web Interviews Pay Big Dividends

The internet revolution is making its mark again - this time in the cost and practicality of the paid personal interview.

In the past the typical self-serving interview, paid programming or info-mercial scenario was the realm of either those with very high marketing budgets or very low standards. It just was not a reasonable vehicle for the typical small business with one or two locations and either a typical service or hard-goods product line. Maybe this kind of business could afford to do a 30 second commercial with the owner as the lead, but more likely they were limited to trying to get a bit article in the local paper or a brief interview on radio when their company sponsors a baseball team or the owner puts in 50 years or some such.

Today this is no longer the case. The cost of presenting self-serving video content has plumetted to the point where everyone should be doing it. Of course there are good and bad ways of doing it, and sometimes it's still a good thing to leave it to the professionals, both for production, and for the interviewer.

That's certainly the reason that P-Zip Marketing and David Ingram have teamed up to create a wonderful vehicle for self-promotional video/internet interviews. David's "Around the World" weekly video-cast on his www.david-ingram.com web site provides an excellent background to the business or businessman interested in getting the word out about who they are and why people should deal with them.

While David usually does a couple of hours each week with non-paying guests or as a call-in for his tax business, some of the guests pay to be there. His interview style is usually very informal, and hist raport with his guests is exceptional. His business knowledge and eclectic background serve to elevate and support his guests in ways that many interviewers simply cannot achieve.

With packages ranging from $1000 for a basic, live, one hour interview, the pricing is very competitive considering this includes hosting the interview in the show's archives for at least one year from the interview date.

Other options include availability of higher resolution versions (the show is done at 350Kbps in Flash) with custom editing as well as external hosting, different hosting formats (such as Windows Media) and or syndication. They'll even do the interview in high definition at your own place of business if you'd like.

All in all, considering that just showing such an interview on a TV station at 4AM for an audience that may or may not exist might cost several thousands of dollars, this type of self-promotion is a winner for the small business struggling to catch the eye of today's skeptical public.
