Articles to video: what would you pay for this...

6 replies
I've had alot of success taking articles I have written and making videos from them, you know the routine - short music intro, welcome to the blah blah newsletter, read the text as animated slides go by, then music and out. 3-4 minutes of good information.

Ive done some of these types of simple video "newsletters" for the company I work for, uploaded them to video sites, and they now dominate google for the keywords of that article. I've had as many as 7 of the first page listings on google pointing to the video from different video sites, not just youtube.

my question is: what would internet marketers pay for custom video "articles" like this? I would think they would need to be custom, but could these types of videos be PLR? I guess they could be if you give people permission to annotate them on youtube, placing their own site url at the bottom of the video. I'm curious to see if there is a demand for this for seo purposes. any thoughts?

    I do not honestly know what I would pay for this service, but I have also experience great success in doing that.

    I have not yet tried to price it out or look for outsourcers. I've been doing it myself. Actually enjoy doing it, so I probably would not outsource it as of yet.

    It is sort of more of a hobby that earns me money.


    Regards,

    This thread caught my attention because that's what I am attempting to do right now. I wrote a book on how to buy and sell websites but I plan to take the first chapter and convert it into a online video.

    Because I am a Mac user, I am utilizing Keynote to build my videos. One of the cool features is the ability to export the file in a variety of formats including Flash, PDF and even YouTube. This is my first but it seems simple enough. I thought about outsourcing the work but since video seems to significantly improve sales conversions, I felt it would be advisable to learn the program.

    I would be interested to hear if others have had success when converting their articles into video.

      I was thinking more than just voice over. Attractive powerpoint slides would need to be made that go along and move nicely with the voice track, then there is music in/out, etc. If the article was custom that would have to taken into consideration. I was thinking of a beginning to end type of service, including submitting to video sites (5 maybe) when the video is complete.

        xlfutur1, a quick question...

        I checked out one of your videos on the TV site, and they are great quality!

        I was wondering where you got the intro created, or if you did it yourself?

        I'd love to create something like this that I could put at the start of my videos...

        Thanks in advance!
