• Today I am answering a question I received on my blog about “what type of video camcorder do I use”.
• I am using the Sony Handycam DCR VX2100 to record my videos with a software program called Sony Vegas. Then after I record my video I use a free software program called Riva FLV encoder to convert the video from .avi to .FLV (flash format).

I was digging through my inbox today and I found a few emails that were trying to scam me.

The first email was pretending to be from chase bank asking me to re-enter all my credit card and banking information online. Your bank will NEVER ask for this information over the internet.

The second email was a fake bill trying to get me to pay registration fees for domains I own even though I never registered them from this fake company in the first place.

Both of these emails are outright scams and I deleted them right away. Watch out all my fellow internet friends and be sure that you don’t become victim to scam emails like these. Never send your personal information over the internet unless you are sure it’s safe and always think twice before you open a suspicious email.

Today I have a funny marketing statistic to share with you. I was recently tracking the conversion rate of an Ad I posted on Craigslist and I found out that my VPV (Value Per Visitor) was $1.16

Let me explain:

Last week I posted an Ad on Craigslist in my local city of San Diego to sell my potters wheel that has been gathering dust in my garage. I set the price at $300 firm and 7 days later someone came to my house and purchased it from me.

Well I decided to look at my CraigsList tracking tool I created at http://www.MyURLTracker.com and I found out that I only had 258 unique visitors visit my Craigslist Ad before I made the sale.  When I crunched the numbers I found out that equals to a visitor value of $1.16 (That’s awesome!)

I crunched some numbers again and I found out that my conversion rate was a dismal .38% however the traffic is free so I’m not going to gripe about that too much… LOL

Besides I didn’t really use any of my genius sales copy tactics on that ad which would have resulted in a higher conversion and more money but to be honest I didn’t really care to spend too much time on it.

Now maybe it’s just the “geek” in me and my love for crunching numbers but  I thought that was pretty cool. A $1.16 visitor value is great especially when the traffic is 100% free.
