Part of my preparation for the new video class I'm leading with Lou Bortone, is "playing" with new ways to use video for my business. When Lou told me about Overlay.tv I couldn't resist creating an interactive video.
Overlay.tv is a free service and there are similar fee-based services like Veeple. I always go for free if it serves me and then I'll upgrade to fee if I need the bells and whistles (Lou is going to be sharing about how Veeple works and all the features you can use to track and convert viewers).
Here's my first interactive video. It may not be obvious, but you can click on the titles and URL in the video and go straight to the registration page for Online Video: Right Here, Right Now. There are a multitude of uses I can think of for interactive video and we'll be discussing this in our class on August 27. (If you cannot see the video in your blog reader, click here.)
What do you think? Be nice! This is my first attempt. If I was reviewing a product, for example, I could have added my affiliate link, pictures and other cool stuff to really exploit the interactivity.
