    Know the thing first what you want to present so that people can understand better after watching your videos . It's just liked commercial ads in TV where few sec. of video clip tells you everything about the products.

    What kind of video do you want to create (promotional, tutorial, general information)?
    Who are you aiming at (i.e., what's your target market/audience)?
    What is your budget (just kidding, you can do it for free, that's what I do)?

    Once you know the answers to these questions, then you set out to create the content for your video (script) either in detail or at least in outline.

    Then do it: shoot your clips, create slideshow and/or images, record your sound, and edit it all together.

    It may sound difficult and complicated, but it isn't. All you need is a step-by-step guide to take you through the process and you'll never look back.

    Fiverr is definitely a good option for videos but you have to be sure what you're looking for first. Most times they don't always get it right but in some cases you'd be lucky. Anyway, the first step is getting a video script ready.

    what do you want to say to your target audience. (you must offer value)
    If it's a promo video what's the hook to make them click through to your link or memorize your url.

    Simplicity is always important, no need complicating things with a fancy video that gets you no result.

    You can start with your free windows movie maker. Also camtasia has a free 30 day trial period.

    Good luck.

    Animoto is great when you need to put a bunch of photos, put a good song in it and you're done with a very good video.

    If you want to make your viewers FEEL something, you should hire a creative professional, not just a video editing teenager.

    I like Animoto, started creating my first videos with it. There's a free version but you only get about 30 secs for video.
    I don't particularly like the fact that there's not enough room to write long texts even in the paid version.
    But I found my way around that by using powerpoint and screen capture so I just add the capture as an image.

    the most important thing is getting videos out there as much as possible. Your first video might not get you the much needed traffic but you can keep adding more videos and then try to rank the video for your keyword on google page one. (its easier to rank videos than websites for sure).

    Cheers

    The video which you are going to create must tell all the benefits of your product so that they can understand your product easily
