Youtube videos as martketing

    Hi Guys,

    I'm thinking of getting some youtube videos done to promote one of my website. What I need is pretty simple stuff that a teenager with a webcam could do in less than 10 minutes.

    How much do you usually spend on that?

    Cheers,
    JB

    Sorry, I don't quite get what you're asking. Are you trying to find out the cost of a 10 minute video made by a teenager? What sort of topic is it on: will it require much effort, or just sitting there reading a script??

    No real effort, just making excuses ;)

    Way too simple (just joking). That's a good idea actually.

    I could make a video for you if I like the subject and if the price is right.

    Contact me with the info.

    Running a contest to make a video? I remember there was one a while ago, but no one entered. The problem with a contest is that it takes quite a lot of time to make a video and people don't want to run the risk of losing. Although there aren't that many teenagers who enter in contests around here anyway... Where would you post it?

    I was thinking of doing something like that:
    - Put a funny video of yourself making an excuse on youtube with a link to my site
    - Post the link in the contest thread
    - All the posters get $2 per video
    - The one who post the most funny video get $50

    What do you think?

    It really depends what look you're going for: if you want a professional video that is likely to get the more sophisticated viewers to your website, then you should get a video from a pro, but if your target audience is teenagers then you might want the amateur look to be able to relate to them :)
