Hi Millard,

This is an off line suggestion. I've had pretty good luck marketing my videos to libraries. This might seem like a passive way to sell your video but believe me it works. This is also, in my opinion a very good price point. The videos I sold to libraries was priced at $39.95.

The absolute best way to get your video in libraries is through free editorial write-ups in library trade publications.

If you have any backend sales offers on your video this makes libraries even a better bet. Here's why; your video gets checked out continually by interested prospects who are hungry for any additonal information you can provide. I get calls all the time from folks who check out my videos.

Hope this helps, Millard.
