While articles are important, they are not the only way that surfers find information from you. It’s important to remember that visitors are looking for new, fresh and relevant content, regardless of its form of presentation. Use video media to attract more website traffic.

You don’t need to worry, we’re not talking about feature-length films. Computer software, readily found on your desktop and laptop can produce your own video. You can start off with a USB connection and a WebCam and be on your way to stardom!

Nobody is better placed to tell your own story as a business owner, than you. Stay front and centre in your videos so that listeners will know who you are and what you have to say. This is where you can showcase your ability.

To start off with, check out YouTube, and if you still need help, look up a virtual assistant. There are thousands of videos available for Internet visitors to watch. As soon as something important takes place, people create and upload videos to YouTube for viewing by the masses. It’s true to say that your videos might not produce the buzz and fan base that some footage of Brad Pitt might develop, but it can be very advantageous for your web presence.

Different sites have different guidelines and you should check before you upload your video – and if it seems too complicated, search for a virtual assistant to do it for you. Be sure that you read all the fine print before making a video to upload. Videos that don’t follow the parameters may not be accepted.

Keep going! Put your creation on your website development directly as well. Here, you can share videos of any length you choose for the enjoyment of visitors and customers.

Create videos of you using your products and showing how they work. Pictures are good, but can be difficult to imagine. If you create how-to videos, you’ll get past any confusion.

If you love to teach, then concentrate on creating how-to videos. Show how you craft a piece of furniture, put together a podcast presentation or go about researching keywords.

Practice!

Do several test runs. See how you look, how your voice sounds and what the best presentation for your video is. Your best response will be to a voice that is relaxed and conversational. Steer clear of any lengthy words if smaller ones would get the same meaning across. Remember that nobody wants to feel as if they are in a classroom, listening to a droning monotone or view a “Charlie Brown” style of teacher. If it helps, imagine your audience as old friends sitting around a table or on your front porch.

You can experiment with your footage. Use editing software to delete mistakes and splice together the good scenes. Keep the camera steady, as you don’t want the audience to feel as if they are rocking away on a boat! Be careful with the light, so that people can actually see what is going on. It takes practice to get things just right, but it won’t take long. Just be careful that you are not too picky, as you will never get it published otherwise!
