“How to make money with a video Blog”

How can you use video in Blogging? Blogging is a huge factor of business success on the Internet. You can use WordPress and Blogger.com. If you don’t like to sit and type then putting videos on your Blog may be your best bet. You can have mini television shows on your Blog. You can get subscribers to come to your Blog periodically to watch your Blog shows. These Blog shows can make you money.

We don’t watch television for commercials. We watch television for information, education, or both. However, the commercials pay the bills for television. The same theory applies to video Blogging. You can attract people to your Blog through your Blog videos. You can advertise your products and services throughout the Blog. For example, you can run commercials in your Blog because people are already used to this in television. This will make you money.

Tip: Humor is a great advertising tool. Use the tried and true principles from television in your videos. Utilize this visual and audio medium that people already like and are comfortable with.

If you embed an audio or video file in your Blog then you are audio podcasting and video podcasting. This strategy is growing like weeds in the Internet marketplace. You can build a subscriber base easily using these strategies. Plus, all of this content can be downloaded to pdas, iPods, and cell phones. Anybody can create an audio podcast and/or a video podcast with inexpensive, easy to use equipment.

Tip: You have to have compelling content in your audio podcasting and video podcasting. People like to be entertained so provide them with compelling content that exceeds their expectations.

Another option is to set up a website that is a continuously running video. You can rotate products. For each product you will have a new “buy” button. It is like having a home shopping network on your own website. This will work in all kinds of niches. You can drive traffic to the website and allow people to check out the videos. It is far cheaper than selling items on the real home shopping network.

“6 Tips for Video Blogs”

Are you a Blogger? Do you write only text in your Blog or have you added in images as well? If you have only text and images then you are behind the times in Blog technology. Video Blogging is sweeping the Internet and creating a frenzy with Internet marketers. Video Blogging enables potential customers to view you and the product. They become familiar with you and your products which will increase sales.

Since most people have not yet ventured into the field of video blogging they will most likely have loads of questions. Following are 6 tips that will help you get started in video blogging.

6 Tips for Video Blogs:
Video Blog Tip #1: What camera should you use to create a video Blog? Just buy the cheapest camera you can find. It doesn’t matter what equipment you have, it is how you use the equipment. The goal is to subscribe people to your show, not to spend money on the most expensive equipment.

Video Blog Tip #2: Use Sony Movie Studio to create video Blogs. This is the recommended software that both novice and experts will enjoy using.

Video Blog Tip #3: Creating video Blogs should be a goal, but not at first. Why? Videos take more time and effort. Master text and audio Blogs before you move on to video Blogs. You want to make sure that you understand the ins and outs of Blogs before you step up to advanced video Blogs.

Video Blog Tip #4: What type of microphone should you use to create a video Blog? Video Blogs can be created using a lavaliere microphone. You can also find microphones that plug directly into the USB port on your computer. You can find a great, quality microphone for only $99.

Video Blog Tip #5: Produce video Blogs in real time with no editing. Don’t waste time editing; just get your video out there. You will seem more natural and thus people will trust you more.

Video Blog Tip #6: You want a good picture and clear sound. Make sure you have lights that are 300 watts or higher. Make sure that your microphone is close to you. A microphone that is built in the camera doesn’t work as well.

“Unleash the Power of Blogs”

New media marketing such as Blogs should be an integral part of your Internet marketing plan. Internet technology changes rapidly and you need to keep pace with new advancements in technology. Old media including radio, television, and print are not going to go away, but you shouldn’t focus on this old media alone. You should be the dominator of your niche with a Blog, podcasting, and audio and video Blogs.

A Blog was originally just text and pictures. However, now they encompass text, images, audio, and video. The best blogging program to use is WordPress.

Blogs allow you to instantly communicate through text, pictures, audio, and video. You can Blog in any niche possible. Blogging doesn’t require a webmaster. Blogs enable you to create worldwide relationships. You can share your information instantly. Blogging enables you to be found more easily by the search engines. Search engines love it when you update your content. You can update your Blog as often as you like therefore increasing your visibility in the search engines.

Blogs and webpages are the same technology. However, for a Blog you don’t need a webmaster and you don’t have to know web design. Blog comes from the word Weblog otherwise known as an online journal.

People can instantly receive your Blog updates by RSS feeds. When you update your Blog your RSS subscribers will be informed. Blog software is free. However, transmitting audio and video will only cost you pennies on the dollar.

Why are newsreaders, aggregators, and iTunes important?
RSS stands for “Real Simple Syndication”. It enables software like newsreaders to download your content (text, images, audio, and video) every time you update it. It is an automated notification system. Aggregators and iTunes are the equivalent to a radio and TV on the Internet. These programs enable people to listen and watch your podcasts and video Blogs.

Every search engine, such as Google, has a newsreader which makes it simple for people to access your Blog and podcasts. They access it through these websites. This is much better then sending items through email. Why? Because email is stopped by spam filters more and more these days. This gives you power to put your content in people’s hands quickly.

Internet Explorer 7 has a one click subscription to Blog. This is a recent development. People can subscribe to a Blog feed easily with one click. This feature is great news for your Blog. This feature enables you to build a following of people that like you and your Blog.

ITunes has one click subscriptions as well. People can find your Blog in iTunes. They can then subscribe to your Blog. You can’t get into iTunes unless you have a podcast and a Blog. ITunes is free.

ITunes allows you to use audio and video. iPods are popular. People can download your podcasts and Blogs to their iPods to watch and listen to when they want.

Even Tivo on your TV can subscribe to your Blog feed!

Essentially, you have the same reach as old media, but for just pennies on the dollar.
