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.

The blog's layout and design also plays a big role.  While most of the companies offering free blog hosting offer pre-selected templates, there are also some that allows customization that if you utilize this feature correctly can increase your blog's traffic.

Here are a few tips to make your blog stand out from the millions of blogs out there that have standard designs.

* Customize the banner

The banner usually has the most generic designs that are common to the blogs from a blogging company or service.

You can personalize this banner by having a graphic with the dimensions of the banner.  You can also edit the graphic so that it will also include the title of your blog.

In this case, you can create your own graphic or you can purchase professional looking graphics online for less than $10.

* Personalizing photos

Of course, most of the photos that you will be posting will be your own.  However, if you don't customize the photos before posting them, you may miss maximizing the enhancing benefits graphics can add to the page.  Adding photo borders can help the photo stand out from the page.

It can also add to the design of your blog.  You can choose a standard border or you can also create your own border which can be associated with your blog's templates.

* Add a favicon

Don't you think sites with icons on the address bar before the website's URL are cool?  Many people do.  These favicons add a professional look to the URL.  These easy to do using photo or graphic editing softwares.

* Check out blog templates, layouts, backgrounds, textures and skins from sites

Try using these tips and you can definitely increase and retain traffic on your blog.

How to Increase Sales Through Streaming Audio

Many studies have proven that radio is a good medium for product advertisements.  People listen to the radio for entertainment, usually to listen to the latest music or to their favorite radio program.  In between the program, advertisements on products and services are being played.

For many years, this has been the trend in advertising.  But now that the radio medium is almost behind the audio-visual medium, the TV, and the Internet, other marketing strategies have to be employed to continue the benefits of advertising through audio.

It is then that the benefits of using music on websites were discovered.  Before, music on the Internet was just available in downloadable forms as mp3.  Even through hosting downloadable music on their servers, companies were able to get much traffic on their sites.  And everyone engaged in Internet marketing knows that website traffic plays a big role in boosting product and service sales.

However, there had been a problem with illegal music download in which artists, musicians and record companies have lost millions of revenues.

Then, came the popularity of Internet music streaming.  Unlike the former, radio streaming does not allow download of the music files.  Thus, the copyrights of the artists and record label owners are protected.

So, how can this be done?  There are several ways to stream audio from your site.  First, is to stream a radio program from your site or blog.  You can find free affiliate programs that allow you to stream their radio content from your site.

What will this mean to you?  This means that your site will have new audio content every time it is visited.  What's even great is that the content is being updated even without much effort from you.

In this case, what you needed to do is to signup with an Internet radio station and have the link embedded on your blog or website.

Another way is to stream mp3s.  To do this, you just need to upload your mp3files on a server and add the files' links to the page.  When the link is clicked, the browser opens a media player window and plays a file.  However, since the file is in mp3 format, it may also be downloaded.  Downloading music files without the authorization of the copyright owner is illegal.  Therefore, if you will be using this type of streaming, make sure that you have the appropriate permit to do so.

A third way to add audio to you blog or website is to stream music through organizing playlists.  Playlists are m3u files, which if downloaded, will not play music if offline.  Using this process, however, can be complex.  Here is a short instruction on how to do it.

1. Save your mp3 or wma file on the server.  You may skip this step if you know that the file exists on another server and know the link to that file.  Make sure that the link has a .mp3 or .wma extension.

2. Open your text editor and type the path to the file.   Include the http:// and the file extension.  Repeat this step until you have included all the links to the files that you would like to be included in the playlist.

3. Save the playlist with a .m3u extension.

4. Upload the m3u file on the directory where the music files are hosted or to your server.

5. Open your html editor and embed the link to the m3u file.  Through this, you can also set if you want to have the playlist to autoplay if someone visits your site of if you want your visitor to control playing the music.  You can also set the volume level.

After the code is embedded on the html file, and whenever your site is visited, the songs in the playlist will be buffered, streamed and played one after another.  If your playlist has several songs, the user can skip forward or go back a song in the playlist using the media player controls.

Doing this setup works for many website owners.  Through this you can customize the type of music being played on your site.  You can even play recordings related to your product to boost product awareness.

It requires knowledge of html to be done.  But if it will be the best way to increase traffic to your site, why not request assistance from programmers.  After all, having audio on a website is a proven way to increase sales.

A company may decide to do the following depending on its capacity and needs: 1) Host their own blog service, 2) Pay someone else to host the service, or 3) Setup a “blog aggregator page” and ask the employees to select their blog hosting services individually. There are paid and free services available for individuals.

? create a style that meets the needs of the audience;
? establish an open, credible tone;
? schedule weekly updating of blog - ideally, a few times a week;

Low Cost Advertising and Scams on the Internet

“A business without a sign is a sign of no business”. This is an advertising banner or quotation that can be seen in large billboards along the roads and on the side or top of buildings that is vacant. Television and radio would say, “This program would not be shown or be heard without advertisement”. It is true since most of us are watching the free television channel and programs are produced by payments of advertisements.

Business owners understand how important an advertisement is. It is in this manner that they would tell to everybody that they are selling products and offering services. They would not have sales, which in turn give them profit, if people would not notice and buy their products and avail of their services.

However, it is not happy to note that there are people who would try to steal money from advertisers and business owners by offering cheap advertisement packages and not delivering the agreed service. Business owners and advertisers should be informed of this because they would become victims of a scam.

The scam here is when the advertiser paid for these different kinds of services but none or some of them are not really even performed. The main point to consider here is to whom is the advertiser transacting with. To avoid being ripped off doing a background check by knowing the following will help.

-past successful projects as evident on customers comments
-a good reputation that will be confirmed by his references, (people that he's had past transaction with and that are also reputable)

The pay-per-click ad campaign is when an advertiser would pay a certain agreed amount by the search engine developers every time a user clicks on that banner. This was a good idea before it was not touched by hackers who developed a certain program to automatically click on that banner which increases the amount to be paid by the advertiser. The next paying scheme was the “pay per action”, which is harder to hack since the advertiser would only pay the search engine developers an agreed amount every time a sale would be done on that customer.

One thing is for sure, advertising in the Internet is not easy but it is fun, especially when one understands fully the power of the Internet. It is not a unidirectional means of advertising like the television or radio, but it is an interactive avenue for both the advertiser and the prospective clients.

As for how you use articles to make money with blogging, a blog needs to have fresh content.  The more readers you get, the more money you are likely to make.  At the very least, you should make three blog postings a week.  Many professional bloggers, namely the ones who make the most money, make multiple posts a day!  However, if you are just getting started, you should aim for one post a day.

For many, a blog post is considered an article, but for others, there is a difference.  Most articles, that are used for website content or article directories, average around 500 words each.  What is nice about a blog posting is that it can be as long or short as you want.  You just need to make sure that your post is informative, but if you can get your point across in a hundred words or less, do so.

With that said, there will be occasions where you will want to add articles to your blog.  These articles should be around 400 words each.  Articles that are longer in size are ideal for increasing the traffic to your blog.  With longer articles, your blog stands a better change of getting picked up by the well-known search engines, like MSN, Google, and Yahoo.

If you are interested in making the most money with your blog and articles, you will want to rely on more than just the search engines.  You can also write and submit articles to article directories.  When you do so, you can provide a link to your website.  Article directories also allow others to display your article on their websites, provided all links are still attached.  This gives you a lot of potential to make money through advertisements.

How to Make Money with Article Directories

Are you a website owner who has recently wrote or purchased articles?  If so, what do you plan to do with those articles?  If you are like many other site owners, you may opt to display the content on your website.  This approach is nice, but you do have another option.  That option is article directories.

Unfortunately, many website owners, especially those just getting started, make the mistake of believing that article directories are nothing but a waste of time.  Although you are not paid directly for each article you upload, they can help you generate income overtime.  As for how, please continue reading on.

Before focusing on how article directories can make you money, it is important to know what they are.  Article directories are websites where internet users are able to upload and display their articles.  At the end of each article, you should be able to post a link leading to the website of your choice.  This website should be yours.  It can either lead to a website where you are selling a product, service, or a content filled website that makes money through advertisements.

What is nice about article directories is that they allow other internet users to use your articles.  Yes, this may cause you concern, but this is actually how article directories work their magic. One of the best is http://www.articlebeach.com - Many have a clause stating that all links must be left intact.  Since each of your articles should have a link to your website, your link can be distributed all across the internet, with minimal work on your part.

Since article directories do allow others usage rights to your articles, you will want to put fresh articles on the directories.  Do not have the exact same articles posted on your personal website, as the search engines may penalize you for having duplicate content.  If you hire an article writer to write content for your website, ask them to write a few additional articles for the directories.  On that same note, these articles are easy to write yourself.  Try to ensure all articles are between 400 and 500 words.

As for how article directories make you money, they work by generating traffic for your website.  Whether you are selling a product, service, or making money through advertisements clicks and affiliate programs, traffic is a must.  If no one visits your website, you will not make any money.  Article directories can bring that much needed traffic to your website and possibly generate income for you.

When preparing to write your articles or when hiring a professional writer, remember the word count.  Most directories require articles with word counts of around 400 words.  The smaller the word count, the less time you have to spend writing or less that you have to pay a writer.

In keeping with getting your money’s worth, know that these articles can easily be rewritten to make new, fresh content.  You can rewrite them yourself or pay another writer, as little as $1 a rewrite.  This means that you get more uses out of each article and a better value for your money.  By rewriting one article multiple times, you can essentially submit 10 different articles to 10 different article directories.

Article directories can be found with a standard internet search. Although they do have different methods of submission, it should take you no less than 5 minutes to add one article to the directory.  If you outsourced these articles, ask your writer to submit the articles and links for you.  Some writers will do so for free or for a small fee, like .50 cents or a $1 for each article upload.

As a recap, article directories will not generate upfront payment for you, but they can help to create passive income.  Passive income is nice, as it keeps on generating overtime.  If you run a content filed website or a website that sells a product or a service, start relying on article directories to help you today.  The first step is to either start writing yourself or hire a quality article writer.

How to Make Money Creating a Content Filled Website

Are you looking for a relatively easy way to make money writing articles?  If so, you should consider developing your own content filled website.  Despite popular misconceptions, you do not need a product to sell to make money online.  Instead, you can offer information.  This information generates income by way of advertisements.  Since many people use the internet to research, whether it be for a school project or for advice, there is a lot of moneymaking potential.

The first step in creating a content filled website is to create a plan.  What do you want your website niche or theme to be?  While it is important to choose a topic that is profitable or at least in demand, you will want to consider your likes and dislikes.  You will find it easier to make money and write articles on a topic that you feel passionate about.

Next, you will want to brainstorm.  Envision your website, such as how it is organized or what articles you want to have posted.  You should create an outline of the topics you want to cover.  For example, if your website has a prom fashion theme, do you want to have separate sections for hair, dresses, and makeup?  What specific articles do you want to write?  Typically, you should have one article per page.

Speaking of those articles, you may want to create a short outline for each article. What do you want to tell your readers about?  In keeping with prom fashions, you can write an article that shares tips for prom dress shopping online.  Points that you may want to cover could include checking size charts, looking for free or discounted shipping, or tips for comparing prices. An outline can help you stay focused.

Next, it is time to start writing your articles.  When doing so, you want to get your point across, but don’t ramble or make them longer than needed.  Of course, it is important to inform your readers, but you may want to leave your articles with an open ending.  Your readers will want to be well-informed, but you also want to leave them looking for a little bit more.  This is what will result in clicks for your advertisements.

Proofread your articles and then proofread them again.  Even if you have access to spell check and grammar check, there are no guarantees that these are right.  As for why proofreading is important, an error free website will stand apart from the competition.

Once you have finished writing all of your articles or at least started writing them, purchase web-hosting and a domain name.  This, however, is when you may start to worry.  If you are unfamiliar with HTML, you can still make money with your articles.  Look for web-hosting companies that give you access to free website building programs.

Once your web-hosting account is up and running, decide on a design or theme.  This is easy if you are using a website building program, as they are laid out for you to choose from.  When making your choice, remember that “cool,” isn’t always the best approach to take.  Your website should be professional, attractive on the eyes, and easy to read.

As previously stated, your content filled website can make money through advertisements.  Get started with Google AdSense.  You are paid for each click your advertisements receive.  As long as you have quality and unique content on your site and it is not adult in nature, you should be approved.  If you are denied, review their terms of service to make the necessary adjustments.  Add the advertisements to your website.  Do not worry, doing so is easy and explained in a step-by-step process.

You can also use affiliate programs as a way to make money.  When your website is approved, you place catchy banners on your website.  To make the most money, apply to programs that are in line with your website.  In keeping with prom fashions, display advertisements for prom dresses, beauty products and so forth.  Depending on the program in question, you should receive a percentage of each sale you help to generate.
