How To Create Online Videos That Sell Your Products And Services
October 29, 2008
If you have been spending any time on the Internet then I am sure you have noticed the huge rise in popularity of video on the web. I recently had the privilege of taking a four-week online training course called, Web Video University, that teaches you how to create online videos from start to finish.
The focus of the training is to teach you how to create videos that sell. In my opinion, the course keeps it’s promise.
The only real problem I had with the course is that the training uses Sony Vegas as the editing tool of choice. In and of itself that’s not really a problem. The problem is that I would have liked to see other tools (especially Camtasia) discussed in regards to making the videos.
However, that problem is outweighed by all the fantastic information revealed in the training, including:
- The best tools for creating professional quality video
- Your best choices for video equipment and cheapest alternatives to create high quality video
- How to properly light and film your videos
- How to create your own blue screen and teleprompter
- The optimum lengths and times to use for various aspects of your video
- The best methods of using videos to sell your products and services
- How to get your marketing message across with video
- How to edit your video for that perfect look and feel
- and much more
Going through the 4 week course at Web Video University, I learned quite a bit about creating video. Overall, I was very impressed with the depth of the lessons on making videos that sell. I highly recommend Web Video University to anyone who wants to learn how to make online videos to market their products or services.
I intend to add video to some of my sites in the coming year, and the information I learned
from web video university should prove to make the process easier and more profitable. The price is extremely reasonable, and the training is excellent, so…

Google Adsense, Video Games, And Buy Now On Youtube
October 10, 2008
I have had a few problems this week with my site so I decided to wait until next week to get back to a regular posting schedule. I wanted to go ahead and end the week by letting you know about two very cool news items…
The first one I heard on Twitter from my friend Garry Conn and Internet marketing guru Joel Comm (almost at the same time). According to CNET Google is adding support for Adsense in video games. That is very cool news for game developers. While there are already ways of monetizing games with in-game advertising, Google Adsense entering this market is really good news for game developers.
Secondly, I heard from Michel Fortin that YouTube will soon be introducing the ability to add “Buy Now” links to videos. Video has become an excellent way to market products and services and YouTube is about to make it even better. This is great news for video marketing.
Next week you can expect my second to last post in my Getting Started series. Have a great weekend!
