OMG. Another huge long comment section. I’ve never seen anything like this, Derek.

So to answer your question the video, I plan to change my website of it and put a picture next to testimonials. I also plan to make claims on my images, and not just put the images with tiny claims under them. That’s what I have now. I think it will change that. Thanks so much.

Oh my goodness. You’re absolutely right – just had not thought about it much. Guess what I’m doing today… re-doing my home.

Yes, you have my attention. I’m filling out the form for the updates.

Hey Derek, thanks for another awesome advice. I was wondering, instead of photos, would icons like the “thumbs up” from Facebook achieve the same result?

Great advice Derek- but you’ll need to walk your talk now & add images to your claims! 😉 This was just what i needed to hear- I am writing a book and my editor removed the images – made the whole book a bit boring for me – pics are soooooooooo going back in now! thanks -keep on rocking- and more of the funky animations please – love the out takes too!

Great suggestion.

Put it into action by adding a small photo of me in my sidebar sign up. Already seeing an increase in sign ups!

Thanks Derek.

Derek,

As usual, right on the money. I love how you present what research suggests, then application case study and finally how we can apply it in our own business. Awesomeness.

In most of my posts, I have an image or a video but I had not thought about the opt-in web-part. I like that idea!

Thank you, as always, for great content!

Derek – OH so timely!! I am in the process of writing an e-book and this information is critical for what I want to share. Thanks for bringing research hot off of the journal pages..

… and not just any old images: images with captions … AND, captions that tell a miniature story; captions that relate to the written content, and captions in which you can also place relevant links.
