Part one: Getting Started




Power of on-line video
Recently I have taken to the on-line video world, without much knowledge, in an effort to promote my blog, promotions and PTC sites. Undoubtedly, this is a great method to boost referrals and many people use it to great success. In this three part post I will be showing you how to create, edit and promote your videos on-line.

Case Study...
So lets firs take a look at a case study. The below video has a total of 63,000 views on youtube alone! In the description box is his referral link to bux.to. It is also in the title.
Now, we need to guess here but lets say 50 percent of those people (62,000) never heard of bux.to. That's 50% of people who haven't heard of it That's 31,000. Now lets assume 50% percent of those who've never heard of bux.to, click the referral link. That's 15,500 that click the link. So at this point the video has sent 15,500 people to the referral link. Lets again assume that 50% of those sign up for bux.to...That's 7,750 referrals. No obviously this is just an estimate and the click through rate may be considerably lower. But what this shows is the potential that on-line video has. so now watch the video...



Now that you've watched the video two things might be running through your mind. a) don't want to talk on camera or b) wow that was easy to make!

Not happy to talk on camera?
There's always a solution! You can simply string some images together with some music or create a screen cap(record what is on your screen). This may be an alternative to speaking directly to the camera. However, it has it's disadvantages.

• People may not click on the video because they see that it is "another boring screen cap presentation..."
• Viewers may not trust you because they can't see you or hear you.

Happy to face the lens?
If you're happy to face the lens then congrats because this option is a lot easier, faster and more trustworthy from a viewers perspective. You don't need to have knowledge on editing, you can simply use the "quick upload" function on youtube so you can upload the video directly from your webcam.

You don't need to be an amazing editor to create a video. If you have power point you can simply screen cap a presentation or convert it to a video file using available software.

You Don't need to be amazingly creative or techniqually skilled to make a promotion video.....

What to Cover in your Video:

• Who? Who are you..
• what? what are you talking about? bux.to ptc...explain them...
• Where?: Link us..Your referral link for example
• How?; How do we make money with this program/site
• Proof: Can you prove that it works? if you can't then maybe you should think about reassuring yourself before you take the time to make a video

That's it for part one. In part two we will be looking at making your videos, what works and what doesn't and how to get maximum exposure for your videos using free services such as tube mogul...Coming next week
