Smart businesses today know they have to use online video in their marketing mix. It is a powerful and really inexpensive media that reaches millions of people around the world.
One option of doing online videos for business when you think that producing a video would be complicated, is to use screen capture softwares. They record everything you have on your computer screen like photos, power point presentations and it records together with your voice. When you save, it saves in a video format ready to upload.
Screen capture videos are easy to use, fast and a great option if you want to use presentations you gave before or created training videos.
Animoto.com is an online option to create a video. It is very easy to use. Great if you are doing just for fun or to communicate with your list, but it is not the best option to make videos to promote your business.
Jing.com is another option. It allows you to create a 5 minute video really fast. It also records what is on your screen. I use it to send instructions to my virtual assistant. We also keep all videos with training material, so when someone new comes onboard to our team, he or she can watch the videos and be trained and we saved hours that we would spend training ourselves.
Producing an online video can be done today by just using your cel phone or by getting a Flip camera. You point, shoot, hook to the computer and upload. It is really simple.
Some things you can accomplish with online video:
The best option when doing online video for business is to create your own Web TV show. This would help branding you or your company and because a show happens every week or every two weeks, you would educate your audience to come back and watch the show. Consistency in social media is king. Your own show would also establish you as the intentional choice for your market.
You can have an online infomercial about your product or service, for a fraction of the cost for traditional media.
Put your video resume so you can find better work opportunities.
