Jim Kukral: Online Video Ads Mean Big Bucks For You

  • Linc4Justice · 1 year ago
    I can't do videos. I'm too ugly. Plus I have this wart here...

    @Lincoln, don't do videos at your own peril. I'm telling you, ugly or not! :0

    Jim,
    I have been watching your posts concerning videos and know that I must do this, next.
    Do you have any real cost effective ways for one to post them?
    That is the part that seems to be too variable.
    Thanx,

    Thanx, Jim
    But...can I shoot some vids, and post them on MY BLOG for free, also with that service, or is there another one for that?
    Thanx,
    Joel

    Yes, you take video, and you can even use the software that comes with the Flip to upload to YouTube... free. Then just embed video code in your blog, wherever :)

    Thanx! Now I feel kinda dumb, though. Doesn't the video have to be hosted by somewhere,someone. before it will play on my Typepad blog?

    ok, ok.. i'm getting that flip camera thing because I'm drinking your kool-aid Jim.

    What few YouTube videos I have done are all #1 for some pretty good search phrases that are quite competitive in natural G search. Got my wheels turning...

    I gotta give it to ya Jim, marketing the FLIP like that :)

    As for video ads, I agree with you that people should start doing this, but it actually takes a lot more time and skills. My blog wants the video post feature, but it's just too time consuming...

    If I ever do get to video blogging, I may do it all in house. I don't like the idea of spreading my content on third party sites where they could arbitrarily take your video content offline without warning.

    That said, Vlog It! from Adobe is hands down the best software I've seen to use for video blogging. It's only $29 too. :-D

    Never seen that one Lincoln, good find. What's so great about it?
  • Linc4Justice · 1 year ago
    I think the best is the teleprompter and the ability to digitally replace the background with any image you want (you need a one color backdrop though). Really takes the guesswork out of adding jazz to make your videos look more professional looking.

    IMO the problem is that in YouTube people dont search terms like debt or loan or something like that...
    There are used so much easier terms like funny, accident, laught, baby etc... and each of them has many results already...
