Hey hey,

Welcome to OpenMyVideo. We think you’re here because you downloaded our iPhone and iPad app–if that’s the case, thank you.

We wanted to write you with the full list of what you get for the next 30 days–because it’s a lot more than just a mobile video app.

[BTW, we have videos that show you everything that is written below. If you're a “watcher,” stop reading here and just watch the videos below.]

Ah, you’re a “reader”? Here’s the deal. For 30 days you get…

iPhone application that allows you to send and share up to 3 minutes of video per send. Keep reading to learn some helpful tips and tricks.

Record videos directly from your computer’s web cam, or upload a video file from a PC, then send your video. Send video emails while you’re test-driving the service over the next 30 days. If you need more, call us!

• Access to the Video Library, where you can upload videos to store, send, and share.

• The Theme Creator, your tool for building a branded web page featuring your content. Use this customized space to share videos, images, links, social info, and attachments. This is your branded landing page, wrapped with your logo, backgrounds, and imagery.

• Address book–upload your contacts in a couple of clicks and easily send them video emails. Group your contacts for effective video email campaigns. (Just make sure to create the group first, then upload your contacts into the right group.)

• Two options for analytics: basic analytics built-in and Google Analytics integrated into our Theme Creator. Just add your Google Analytics ID to your theme. When you login to Google Analytics, you will see your OpenMyVideo traffic and visitors. Use analytics to track the effectiveness of your campaigns.

Get Going

Still with me? Cool! So you’ve got a little bit of setup to make our system work for YOU. Get going! If you build a theme, record a decent video, blast it out to your people, you will see results. Our video email open rates are more than 25% higher than standard text-based email messages. Get the facts.

Our blog has all the FAQs, but if you need us, just email help@openmyvideo.com. Tell us what we’re doing right–and especially tell us what we’re doing WRONG. We are in the business of helping your business. If you have suggestions or issues about OpenMyVIdeo, email kendall@openmyvideo.com. Keen-eye Kendall is a stickler for details, so tell him the type of computer you use, the browser, the file type of your video, any details that will help us troubleshoot.

A Few Final Notes

Mobile video – first off, it’s complicated. We encode (fancy word for format) for iPad, iPhone, Blackberry, Android, and all types of browsers. Our iPhone app works best when you send videos that have been previously recorded to your video/photo gallery. We offer a record “on-the-fly” option, but many different factors can affect upload. We’d rather you film with the standard camera application that comes with the iPhone and use our application to send your video. Frankly, mobile and wi-fi networks can time-out, calls can get dropped–things can be beyond our control. But if you record with the standard camera app, you will save a video locally that you can send using OMV when you’re ready!

Check it out…there are many cool tricks to learn. Forget about the trial, I want an account now!

Thanks again!
