Creating Professional Looking Videos

Sunday, June 21st, 2009

A great way to build a relationship with your targetted traffic audience is via the use of video on your sites. This enables you to really start to build a relationship with your visitors, and fast, as they can see and or hear you rather than simply read your words.

If you are like me and are wary of being in front of the camera, it is possible to still make professional videos using  just your voice rather than you sitting in front of a web-cam.

Two of the greatest finds that I have made in the past couple of months, enable me to do just this. For example the videos in my posts below were made using a great new software called Article Video Robot those videos literally took me a few minutes to create, as a basis for them, I used blog posts that I had written for one of my other blogs.

All I had to do then was copy paste that post into the software, click a button to split it into paragraphs, add my voice over to each paragraph and choose a background. Hey ho it was ready to go, the software converts it for you and sends you a download link when it’s ready to be downloaded to your hard drive. Alternatively you can choose to upload it immediately to YouTube or any of several other media sites..

See a little more on how this works here:

The second excellent find in relation to creating videos was JingProject.com this literally enables you to create videos in much the same way as when using Camtasia software. There are free and an upgraded version of this software license available, and believe me for $14.99 per year, the upgrade is well worth it. You can see an example of a video I made using this software here:

By the way if you aren’t using Viral Networks to enhance your business networking opportunites (that’s their forum you see in the vid), you really need to consider it, it works very effectively for free members as well as upgraded ones :)

As always feel free to let me know if you have any questions about this post, I’m always happy to hear from you..

I recently blogged a little about this on one of my other blogs and because I like this topic so much, (and because I like to share some pretty esoteric thoughts now and again), I decided that if I make a video of the post I would be able to share it on some of my other sites without upsetting the search engines :)

 

I used the Article Video Robot software that we mention on our main site to make this video, it’s very simple to use and I think it turns articles and blog posts into pretty professional looking vids with very little work on my part (let me know if you agree lol).
