In this blog I am going to talk about how to advertise using video. You may not even know how to begin. Here I will try to simplify it. It is real simple if you have Windows Movie Maker, you can either be subtle in your advertising by doing a them like funny clown videos, funny animals or something like that. You can compile pictures that are not copyrighted. I do this by searching images on Google, Flickr or Photobucket. I save them in a folder and name it the project I am working on so you can find it later.
Once you compile the pictures you then want to import them in movie maker. Arrange the slides the way you want them in the time line. You may or may not want to use music. Beware of copyright infringement. Do a google search on royalty free music. After you get the music you can import that into movie maker and drag and drop under the slides you arranged. You can then choose different options like fade in or fade out & Etc.
If you want to do an instructional video you can use free software that enables you to do a video from your desktop and it is called Cam Studio and it can be found here http://camstudio.org
Once you have completed your video save it to a place you will find it. I make a folder in documents called videos. Name the file according to the theme you selected or whatever you want. Once you have completed the video, you will want to choose to publish it so it saves it in wma format. Once this is complete you are ready to upload to the following sites:
· Revver (Revver.com)
· YouTube (YouTube.com)
· GoogleVideo (Video.Google.com)
· YahooVideo (Video.Search.Yahoo.com)
· StupidVideos (StupidVideos.com)
· Metacafe (Metacafe.com)
· Vimeo (Vimeo.com)
· iFilm (iFilm.com)
· Break (Break.com)
· ClipShack (ClipShack.com)
· Sharkle (Sharkle.com)
· Clip a Day (ClipaDay.com)
There are many others as well. Do a google search on video sites. There may be others that are listed other than above. The more the merrier. If you have problems with this I am available for consult so email me at gatrocks@gmail.com and I will be happy to set up a time to go over this with you.
