1. Yes, you can do this using an autoresponder/drip campaign.

2. We self-host some of our videos and host others on YouTube. When we self-host videos, we play them using FlowPlayer: http://www.flowplayer.org

3. You could use a membership site software such as aMember or Wishlist Member or Membergate to manage that.

1. Can you create this just the same as a normal drip campaign?
2. Who do you guys use for your Video Hosting? I’ve looked at viemo.com, amazon s3 and using that combined with Easy Video Player. Any thoughts on which one to use, or what works best with Aweber?
3. What about protecting content if you have a paid course and don’t want the links / videos to be shared?

Any advice would be appreciated

Yes it’s true there is still the place for a text email and all people learn differently so you don’t want to replace text.

I’ve found video to be the most effective in building relationships with people. I use it in my networking process both on and offline as well as in my client retention practices.

Tom is right. I have not seen video with the capability inside the inbox. It is usually a image link to the video to be played. I have not personally came across any email client that would allow such a powerful solution to email marketing.

If this were to happen there will be less spam and junk mails individual’s mailbox. I on the other hand love spam. Especially those with a personal email address behind it. I use these for reverse marketing showing the sender the power of video email and how it will change the way we communicate

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you.

Show me an example of Youtube (or any other type of video) in Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Comcast, or the many dozens of other types of email clients and I’ll believe that raw playable video exists in email.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t exist because email clients don’t support native video inside email clients widely.

Believe it or not, Google Apps Feedburner.com via YouTube delivers real genuine VIDEO EMAILS – whereas the video is actually embedded inside the actual Email msg body.
Anything less is just BS and a further screw of reality !
Disagree – live with it.
Agree – you pass Sanity101.

Using multiple platforms (audio, video and images) is definitely a very effective means to get your messages across.
