    I am launching a new service that allows you to get your own infomercial in front of thousands of people free. You just need to watch three 30 second infomercials from other members.

    It is different from sites like Youtube because there most viewers are looking for something entertaining, not a 30 second sales pitch. My viewers are guaranteed to watch the whole 30 second video and are prompted to visit your site afterwards.

    Please let me know what you think.

    A press release is available at:

    There is a poll at the top if you don't feel like posting a reply.

    I don't understand why anyone would want to watch sales pitches? It seems to me the vast majority of the people who watch them are only doing it to get there own advert on, and not a potential customer.

    Other than the especially cool adverts now and again, people hate them.

    That thinking is non-sequitor. There are intire infomercial TV channels airing adverts 24 hours a day, and they have millions of viewers.

    There are several reasons people will want to watch infomercials at LeadsByVideo.com

    Firstly
    1. to get their own video shown for free. What better incentive.
    2. to see what competitors are doing with their videos, because perhaps you can learn something to make your sales pitch better.
    3. to learn new things. The same reason people read articles.
    4. To discover the latest and greatest products and services. There is a whole industry cashing in on reviewing "whats new"

    And don't forget just because a person is incentivised to watch a video doesn't mean a sales pitch wont grab there interest and make them proceed to the website for more information.

    You cannot assume a person whos incentivised to watch commercials won't purchase. It's like saying "No one will click on a banner ad next to an article because the person is there to read the article"
