Yaro, this is utterly fantastic. I regret that I hadn’t found your blogmastermind videos until the day of it’s closure. I will most definitely be revisiting to join in the discussions here.

To add to the current topic:

I like how you mentioned in the very beginning of this case study what topics you’d be covering. By listing a sort of verbal table of contents, you give your watchers the ability to skim through and extract the info they need w/less risk of them leaving.

On providing clear CTAS: Whether the goal is to encourage Social media particpiation, to sell products or whatever, repeatedly referring back to a particular conversion goal using text links within the copy of various posts has worked well.

Great info, well done!

Yaro… Thanks for this case study. The blogs that my wife and I are working on just so happened to contain some of the things that you suggested this site remove. The social bookmarking buttons at the bottom of the post. I had thought about it in the past but figured they couldn’t hurt. I have removed them and now see that they are most likely not very beneficial. I think something better to do would be to show people how to bookmark sites naturally by using the bookmarking sites that they already use! Thanks! Also… AquaristOnline.com is a great blog! I have been involved in Saltwater tanks for some time and never knew this blog was there.
Thanks Again!

I really enjoy videos as well as text. Videos just seem to make it more personal. It draws a more one on one feeling. But I also like text as I can glean out information as I need it without going through the whole video. It is like when I buy something I want that personal connection with the sales person, but I also want an owners manual to go with it. As a new blogger I did find this interesting.

I always enjoy the video case studies and learn a lot from them. That was one of my favourites as Peter’s audience is hobbyists as is mine. So there were a lot of points of relevance for my blog in this.

Visual tips are always seem to work a lot better then just text. I know from personal experience that doing a video post generates a lot more interest then a text based.
