Home business ideas for success typically require you to get your message out to many people, and there simply is no better way to do this than through using video.

Adding YouTube to your internet marketing strategy is becoming a must have in your network marketing lead generation efforts. It allows you to build and brand your image, let's call it your You Inc.

When prospecting people for your business, especially over the internet, how do you break down the trust barriers with a prospect who doesn't know you? A website with words written effectively by someone with good copy writing skills can bring significant returns for your home based business. However, good copy writing is a skill that is developed over a period of time and it doesn't allow people to CONNECT and RELATE to you quickly.

Instead, pull out a camera and video yourself sharing your story. Talk about your story, interests, hobbies, and more. What are you passionate about? Share it. People who find your You Inc on the internet will see and hear you. As they hear your story, it will give them the ability to CONNECT and RELATE to you.

This is the sweet spot you need to be in for your business. The walls of trust will begin to come down and when a strong connection is made, the prospect will literally call you to join your network marketing opportunity.

Consider this, what would you rather do? Would you like to chase people to join your business or would you like prospects to call you to join your mlm company?

Here are some things to keep in mind when using video in your lead generation efforts:

1. Get a good webcam or small camera that takes video. You can get quality at low cost. Don't go too low, but also don't spend too much. I recommend the Logitech 9000 for a webcam and a Canon Digital Elph camera which takes digital photos in addition to good quality video with audio.

2. Setup a YouTube account to easily upload your videos which will then allow you to display them on almost any website. YouTube receives some of the most traffic on the internet and is the first website you need to put your videos.

3. When creating a storyboard for each 3-5 minute video you produce, be creative and vary the scenery in which you film your videos.

4. Enough can't be said about having a smile and a passionate delivery when you film your videos. You don't need to be over the top, but have some passion in your voice with some smiles mixed in from time to time.

Good luck in your video production efforts for your affiliate marketing business!
