Video Marketing - How To Make Videos Step By Step

By Greg W. Scott

Article marketing is a great way for internet marketers to generate a load of organic traffic. As technology advances, people's preferences for how they find information changes. Those preferences have shifted towards the video format. In this article, I'm going to tell you how to take article marketing up a notch by making videos.

YouTube.com is a video sharing site that is owned by Google. It's actually the most used search engine behind none other than Google itself. You may be wondering why I'm telling you this. As an internet marketer, you should be using that popularity to get people to your site.

More and more people are getting hip to the fact that video can be used to market people and products just like articles can. However, with video there is a bigger view and retention rate than standard text articles. This fact alone can mean eating McDonalds for lunch or having prime rib everyday(both will have consequences for your waist line, but that's another topic for another time).

So you might be saying, "But I don't know how to make videos."The good news is that it's super easy to start video marketing. You can take all the articles you currently have and turn them into videos, OR you can have an article ghost writer write more articles to turn into videos.

PowerPoint Presentations - An Extremely Easy Way To Make Great Videos

Once you have the articles,you just turn them into PowerPoint presentations. Take one or two sentences and place them on a slide, then add another slide with the next one or two sentences and so on until the whole article is in a PowerPoint presentation.

You might again be saying, "I don't have PowerPoint!" Well another great thing is that you can get a free version of it in Open Office. It's an open source version of Microsoft office that does exactly the same thing, only it's free!

Once you have your PowerPoint created you're ready to make a video. You need some screen capture software like Screenflow or Camtasia. (There are free options out there as well.) You start the PowerPoint presentation and record what's happening on the screen with the screen capture software. From here all you have to do is read the slides into a microphone as you flip through the presentation. The screen capture software records the screen and your voice and combines them into a video that is ready to be viewed by millions.

Get That Baby Posted And Get Some Views

Now you might be wondering how you get your video viewed. YouTube is a great way to do just that. As I mentioned earlier it's the most used search engine behind Google. Upload your newly created video and let the views start coming in.

There are other great sites as well. Just to name a few - Google Video, Daily Motion, iFilm, Blip TV, Vidler, Vimeo and much more. Google "highest ranking video sites" and you'll find tons more!

Video marketing is the best and most current way to capture a lot of traffic you may have missed with article marketing alone. With both methods employed you have your bases covered and are sure to see an influx of traffic that you might have missed. Video marketing is still fairly new, so it can be a great way to dominate your niche, too. It can be the difference between eating cheap out-of-the-can vegemite and fresh seaweed imported straight from Japan (an alternative to Mac and steak for the healthier crowd!).
