Do you think a training video for newbies is a good idea? Why or why not?

I think it would help ALL of us and not only the newer users. There are still users with a huge post count who have not reached payout or others here for three years in the same boat too. A video would be much more immediate but would they be bothered to try the tips and advcie given in it? So many arrive here from other sites that work in a different way and they continue to use the method they were used to using and have no will to change Would a video move them to change their ways? So nwo the next question is... who is going to create it?

hello tdemex, I am good at making videos but i lack proper applications or special effects features. but i like the idea, unfortunately this might even further delay my long delayed mylot the movie vid which is still in the making as of recently.. i don't know about different languages but i think if the video is spread and others can copy and translate it with their own language then that would be fine. i have checked some videos made during the time where mylot was issuing a promo video contest. i did found some tutorial video with borat and britney spears, which i could say it's crazybut probably i could made another approach..i think. besides, what kind of topics to be tackled if were' going to give newbies a training video.

Personally, I think videos work way better than a training manual. Aren't guys more visual anyhow? So it would make more sense for them. That's my 2 cents, at least.

I think some people would like a video very much. Too many languages out there, but perhaps one with subtitles that flash by very, very slowly?

Only if it could be in their language since there are so many here that come to mylot and speak little if any English. But, I think it's a great idea!

Yeah i agree with you tdemex.Excellent idea! But i also was wondering if newbie like me would have time to read it. (In my case, a friend name terry thought me more about the guidelines before i finished reading it. lol!) But yeah, videos can be more exciting and good way for newbies to learn more.

This is an interesting idea, and I am sure that there have been people in the past who have had some posted on youtube. There are a lot of Websites out there that have been known to do this, and it is a plus for sure. They could probably benefit a lot of the New members in here if they could do this, or someone had something posted in youtube and it was noted where it could be found more for sure.

I was thinking about some process to make newbies to get acknowledged with the rules while signing up. And then here you started this discussion just one day ago from that! Maybe the waves hit me :) I like the idea, and went to check some videos Letran suggested too! (some problem there I heard?) It would be more convenient.. if it's interesting cause I get easily irritated by videos sometimes. Language may be English only, for start. So far... ...not all newbies come with ill intentions! Someone will have patience for sure!

yes it should be.. while i am new on mylot I ask to everyone about some confusion I read faq but be better can some explain in better way.. training video is nice idea... and this feature is along with every website which have lot of user.

I think it would be a nice idea. It would help people understand easier and would be quicker and easier than readng the TOS rules. As long as the video was kept short and sweet I think it would ba a fantastic idea. I also like that it could be in different languages. This is a really, really good idea. You have my vote.

Sounds good to me. I'm sure it could be set up so that people couldn't begin to post until they'd watched it through at least once. Even if people didn't take it all in, something would stick. Anything that helps to get the Mylot modus operandum across has to be beneficial to all of us, not just the newbies.

I think it's a good idea because it will be beneficial not only to the newbies, but for those who have been in the 'hiatus' mode. Normally, when they come back after a few months, they will ask the same questions to catch up especially about why they are losing their earnings. So, if they are lazy or simply think that it's a waste of time to dig for more information, then, they have the options to watch and listen! I was actually going to post something about this, but with a different idea...

I think its a great idea and will definately help other people. For people it is normally easier to learn with the assistance of visual aids. A video is the perfect video aid. I have done many trainings on Youtube and they have helped tremendously. I have also made some training videos myself and they too have assisted tremendously for others. You have to keep in mind what kind of audience you are making these for. That way you can adjust your trainings to your specific target group. Good luck and I am sure you will succeed.

ya you sound very right the audio visual aid helps us in learning faster and reducing the process of learning and remembering to a short span this helps in developing more concepts at lesser age and thus increasing the knowledgebank

Another site many of us were part of for a couple of years had a video and I think it was watched, in preference to reading the tos. Since English is the only language allowed in submitting script, and since people can SPEAK and understand English better than they can write it, the video should be in English. Good idea - but can you sell admin on the idea?

Good idea though there are some members who have already done it and even if mylot does put these who has patience to view like many do not read the guidelines they might not have time to view or hear it too...

I say I agree with you, it is really difficult reading stuff on the internet especially rules. A training video is a good idea and will help people on my lot

I think that would be a very good idea. It would surely help the newbies like me and for the senior ones, too ... they can come back and refer to it from time to time. Some people prefer listening than reading. So, why not give it a try? That would surely help various problems here.

Sounds like a great idea. Most people are too lazy to read so videos work better. I think it could work.
