well, we added a little video.  http://www.youtube.com/group/houseofjerkycontest
 
Hey Kathy, I`m so glad to see your business is really taking off!
 
 May we ALL succeed BIG TIME!  ;-)

You said it Jeannie! :-) We all know, it just.. takes time, if you have the passion and dedication ! The amount of time can be different for us all, and the BIG TIME probably has a different definition, for many. But it will be "OUR" BIG TIME"! :-)

Thanks Kathy!
 
But please don`t let me take the credit!
 
You have `Content King Craig`, :-) I am lucky to work very closely with Roland!  Good Job Roland!, Thanks for the things you do for me! :-)   (sorry, I had to get that in there!)
 
Thanks for the 5 stars Kathy, that was nice of you. :)  Now I`ll have to spend some time on YouTube. Do you???

Janie,
 
At the end of your video, you should also include your www. link so that people who are interested can go to your website to find out more about how to enter the contest too!

P.S. I just sent you a pm.

Jeannie, Kathy, Janie thread?:) Hey anyone else can jump in.

No, I never visited Youtube except to view some videos that I was sent to watch, by family or friends.
 
But, I thought the idea of a video contest was a fun idea.  Thanks for your pm Jeannie.  You definitely have some great suggestions, and I`ll see what I can do to implement some of them.:)

No problem Janie!
 
You know, actually, you`ve inspired me to do a youtube contest for my own product as well!  But for me, I will only create a contest for my existing customers only - since I know that they already have my product on hand and they won`t have to purchase it to video tape it.
 
This will be fun!  But now, I have to create a video of myself talking about the contest OR maybe I can just shoot an email to all my existing customers and just tell them about the contest (since I`m a bit camera shy!) :-P
 
Thanks Janie!

Well, good luck on your contest!
From your suggestions we redid the video.  I`m preparing to send out the email today.
 
 
Thanks for all your help Jeannie!  I`m changing that they have to show our product too.

Ya`ll are doing some great stuff!  Thank you for the smiles on our video.
We`ve done two more but I didn`t add because we can`t get our bud to give us what`s needed to connect the dots for our tacos; we won best editing award on one and then egos or whatever took over and so we didn`t even make the top 20 on the last one (but my sweet-pea is now their "poster girl" for all things almost famous so at least someone had fun!~)
 
I don`t see YouTube as being "all that" for sales and marketing, BUT without it I wouldn`t be able to show movies on our website, and our movie is why we have tacos in the UK so it sure doesn`t hurt (or hasn`t yet!  I`m making a movie that might be real bad! And if we follow Janie`s great lead, I`m thinking we`d get a lot of videos with, well, boxes and tacos of another kind!~)
