It's just a different marketing strategy really. I find that tube people usually do better with free joins or 1$ joins as opposed to 3.99 because their traffic is used to getting things either free or cheap. Offer something at a discount and give them the impression that its a good deal and you will get your sales.

As for not being able to market unless you 'believe' or 'purchase the product yourself' I'm sure there are some fashion designers and car salesmen that may argue different!

Market it like you would be buying it if you weren't selling it and leave the beliefs to the religious and you will do just fine ;)
Great idea. Let's all start Tube sites.

That will turn 1,000 buyers into 100.

Just because a few are getting sales from Tubes you have to look at the bigger picture. How many of those browsing loads of free 6 minute video clips on a Tube site would of bought if they were only 10 second clips?

One fashion designer or car salesman who doesn't know or like the product, makes a sale and the guy next to them who makes ten because he knows and likes the product. But the first guy proves you don't have to know or like the product.

Where did you learn your marketing?
