Today I’m going to touch on the topic of Video Marketing. You’ve seen all the YouTube videos out there selling this and that and I know you’re wondering how YOU can benefit from this trend.
To begin, Video Marketing always starts with an idea. You want your video to be content rich; so the most practical thing to do is make a video of one of your blogs. Read More→
YouTube Has Grown To Be The Search Engine Of Choice For Many Entrepreneurs
You can still find multiple ways to gain visibility for your products and services, but as an entrepreneur if you are not concentrating on YouTube, you may be missing an opportunity to really hit it out of the park.
So what has changed with YouTube that now causes it to become a lot more important. It’s not that YouTube has changed as much as it is that social preference has moved a great deal more in that direction. In a very recent study, 66% of respondents said they’re watching more online videos then they were a year ago and 48% said they are expecting to watch a lot more in the months to come. If you couple this with the idea that 80% of US online users are watching online videos on a regular basis, then it is simple to see why you will need to go video. Read More→

Well I must admit I got more than a little excited when I saw this tiny little message above my own video at YouTube: It says “Edit Video” followed by a yellow marker denoting “new”. I immediately thought about all of those horrid poker videos I made 5 years ago that I can now go in and properly resize and brand.
Hold on cowboy.
The new feature allows you to add an array of effects to your video, but nowhere near the kind of surgical procedures I had in mind for some rather dated work in my “portfolio”. Nonetheless, YouTube is constantly adding new features that continue to impress, and this should also be included as a positive addition.
You can now trim the start and end times of your video. You can add many different coloring effects and tones to your production turning it from vivid colors to and aged sepia look for example. You can also swap out your audio and insert one of YouTube’s standard tracks. You can even rotate your video 90 degrees – although I wonder who will be taking advantage of that? Also, there is an image stabilization feature that can be applied too.
The downside is that it appears all of these features can only be added to the entire production, not just sections. Otherwise, the new editing options just seem to be features that your mini-cam might not have or are just not convenient to edit using one thumb. Read More→
YouTube has changed the way that broadcasting occurs. While you used to have to be a professional with fancy equipment and an endless budget to video your message out to the world, YouTube enables anyone to start their own “channel” essentially, filled with items that are of interest only to them and their audience. Millions of videos are viewed on the popular service every day. Arguments are had. Relationships develop. People are entertained. Bringing YouTube to your site may be something that you wish to consider, but first, keep in mind the following:

Video-making is more than just what you see – it’s also about what you hear. Just like a film score can either make or break a million-dollar production, your video’s audio is also a determining factor in the success of your video. The right music for your video can emphasize whatever emotion you want to convey – be it to add a little suspense, humor, tragedy, and so on. As many expert video-makers say, music is the best possible special effect that you can add to your video. Take away the audio and your video will likely appear bland and dull. So better not screw up your chances of making it big in cyberspace just because you’ve overlooked the so-called “audio factor”. Read More→
