Getting Started With Videoblogging
Videoblogging is the next generation of posting ideas and
products over the internet. Everybody knows about textblogging.
Now they use videos for a better way of expression. This form of
communication may entail a lot of resources, but it is all worth
it. If pictures say a thousand words, videoblogging exceeds that
by far.
A videoblog requires larger disk spaces on websites, a faster
server, and a whole new set of programs to support it.
Videoblogs can be fed through RSS. This is technology of
syndicating your website to other RSS aggregators.
Videoblogging works with people on the internet expressing their
selves. Now if you put this on a business prospective, you are
up to a lot of benefits. Think of it as a powerful tool in
making showing your prospective customers your line of products
or your services. It's just like showing a commercial all for
free. And if you videoblog through RSS, then most probably you
are getting your target market.
People like to see what they are going to buy. Some would like
to see proof and be sure that they are getting their money's
worth before shelving their dimes on it. All of us know the
influence of a thirty second commercial. The effect of
videoblogging is similar to that. You show your product, people
watch it. If they like it, they buy it. If you present it good
enough, they'll buy the product even if they don't need it.
Now on the web, things are pretty much static, unlike in
television in which all are moving. If you post something that
is mobile, it would most likely catch attention. Now imaging
your product parading in all it's royalty through videoblog.
You'll get phone call orders in no time.
If your business is just starting up, you can create a videoblog
right at your own home. All you need is your web camera,
microphone, video software, and lights. For as long as you know
how to use your camera, then you can create a videoblog.
Invest in a good web camera. The higher its resolution is the
better the output. And you like to present your goods in the
optimum way so get the best one possible. Make a short story, or
just capture your goods in one go. Just make sure you are
getting the best profile for each. Get those creativity juices
flowing.
Lights are important in a production. Make sure you illuminate
entirely the area you are going to use to create videoblog. The
brighter the area, the crispier the images will be. You can also
use lighting effects for added appeal to the presentation.
Should you require sounds for your videoblog, you need a
microphone. Record you voice as a voice over for promoting the
product and its benefit to consumers. Sounds are as important as
videos on a videoblog. It is advisable to make your sound
effects as enticing as the video.
Your video editing software can be any program. You need this to
finalize your work. You can add sounds, delete some bad angles,
or insert some still pictures in there too. Some programs are
user-friendly and can be used even with zero knowledge on video
editing. Even simple video editing programs should do the trick.
Select your background carefully too. The light affects the
presentation so make sure that the background and the light
complements each other.
Videoblogging is a great tool but it also has it downside. It
may slow down the computer so other may steer clear of it.
Download time may also be time consuming especially if customer
is still on a dial- up connection.
But don't let those stop you. Let videoblogging be an
alternative for you, though it is best to still keep the text
and pictures present in your presentation to accommodate all
possible viewers of your site.
Nowadays, the more creative you are in presenting your product
to the market, they more you are likely to succeed.
Videoblogging offers an interactive way of selling. You involve
the customers. You instill in them the advantage of your goods.
And at times, those are enough to make a sale.
