Exact alternative camstudio, a open source software will do the job but its saved videos are very large size.

For that reason, wmcapture is very good screen capture with good quality low size videos, free version allow 2 minutes video, merge them into one video. It has no editing features.

Getting traffic

These are necessary task for effective youtube marketing.

1- Include well searched keyword in video title and choose nice image to show in search results.

2- Watermark website url in video as trasparent watermark in center or add at lower side of video. Write some action or intice user to click it.

3- In editing software add transitions anywhere in video espacially at the start and end of video.

4- Put complete website url in bio with http: or it will not be clickable and mention some bait like free guide.

5- Video responses to highly viewed videos. Need to contact author so he accept response video otherwise few will allow it.

Youtube videos are best for getting leads and traffic to the site, it shows very low conversion for selling directly by mentioning sale page, only if popup email collection is there.

how many videos you have made for a sale?

 

I find videos work very well for my cat flap business.

 

How to make sure the video you created is rank at the top of youtube search?? As there are thousands of similar video posted by others??

 

The easiest and economical way to make video marketing:
1.Make a PowerPoint slideshow
2.Convert the PowerPoint slideshow to Video with Moyea PowerPoint to Video Converter or Leawo PowerPoint to Video (for NT/2000/XP/Vista)
3.upload them to video-sharing websites by TubeMogul.

 

be careful with copyright - TY is very rigorous regarding that - thus if adding music, be very careful what audio you upload...

 

Video is one of the best and fastest ways to get visitors to your website. You want to make sure you are getting targeted visitors.

Also with the video market, you do not want to put a lot of text once they come to your website, remember this is a clientelle that likes videos.

Are there any essential hardware recommendations, for example is it worth buying a good quality microphone for recording the audio?

Thanks.

 

I recommend the Microsoft LiveChat microphone. It's excellent.

It plugs into the USB so it's digital quality sound.

I don't work for Microsoft by the way!

 

I use a Logitech, I did some research a while ago and for s simple mic it worked well, oh and I dont work for Logitech ethier

 

I want to hear more about legal things ... For example if I download already submitted video and re-submit it a little edited (my watermark, some intro etc.) ? What should I watch for ? Should I look on metacafe for example and submit a downloaded video from metacafe to youtube ?

 

I think its common sense. If someone worked har dto make a video and you are using it to make money and they lose out, thats not cool (what if what happen to you).

Now the only time I suggest you take someones video and ask for forgiveness afterwards is if you are using it 100% for affiliate for there product.

Anything else, I would get permission before using someone else video.

Video are not that hard to create these days with video camera with memory cards, power point etc...

 

Well videos are more or less rips of TV shows ...

 

is there a going rate to offer highly viewed videos author to add your URL or ad... whats a reasonable price to start the offering bid at? and whats the max u would do?
