    It seems that video marketing is rapidly becoming a great marketing technique as consumers prefer watching video rather than reading an article.
    If you go to YouTube there're plenty of videos created out of articles, they look ok and would be a good idea to start with video marketing.

    Does anybody know a good software/website that could convert articles to videos so we could upload them to youtube and such?

    Videos are becoming the important key for the whole marketing process. Videos will increase the brand recognition, and will also help you to promote and sell the products or services more effectively. Video marketing is the best option to boost your sales. Creating video content will enrich your site by keeping in touch with the client.

    A software that could convert article to a video? Not that I know of and most people I know did it themselves using Window Media, PowerPoint, Vidzpro and such to make video.

    You could use text-to-speech but chances are users would not really be that interested in listening to it for long. Your best bet would be to create some slides with the main section titles and then simply record yourself reading the article perhaps. You don't have to be on camera. If you can't do it then outsource it to someone who can on a site like elance, people per hour, or right here on DP.

    You are right though... video makes a big difference but always look to split test. Serve 50% of your people articles and 50% videos and see which converts better.

    Always be testing something! :)

    Hope that helps

    Hi praetserge,
    There's some cool software that not only converts articles you want as videos but automatically converts all your existing articles at main article directories into videos. You can find it at articlevideorobot.com. If you're interested here's a discount coupon number: 6951F872
    Cheers

    There are benefits to using video for marketing. But don't assume video means you can forget about what makes for good marketing and copywriting.

    A video which doesn't focus on the emotional needs of the prospect, doesn't persuade, doesn't grad attention, and/or doesn't have a strong call to action will not work any better for you than a sales letter or article which ignores these requirements.

    Video Marketing is a very powerful marketing tool.
    It should be added to your arsenal along with all the
    others. It's really all about traffic anyway...

    Hi
    Online video marketing is the key business differentiator for web companies wanting to communicate effectively their product profile and benefits within the shortest possible time. There is nothing else that comes close to the effectiveness and persuasion power of a well designed video message.

    Use GFX Video Writer to help you convert your articles into video. It's not going to do it by itself, you will have to copy/paste and do the voice-over, but it's very easy to do.

    If that so, why not to try? It would be more interesting and easy to comprehend.
