Take the article and make a powerpoint presentation (or open office) using the important parts of the article...

Then you simply record the screen using camtasia or jing while you play the slide show and read the slides.... Or you can play music and just let the viewer read the text...

Just be sure to put a link at the beginning and end of the video with your site's url.

Thanks

Turning an article into a video doesn't take very much time. As long as you are focused and know your content and speak fairly well it should only take a few minutes.

1. Copy the article into notepad
2. Make line breaks every few sentences
3. Open the notepad document with Powerpoint and each line break will automatically populate a new slide.
4. Start Camtasia and read your slides.

There you go, fast and easy.

I've done the powerpoint/open office presentation method before like many are saying, but it's not my favorite.

I prefer to just open up a simple video editing program, read a narration out beforehand, then just put up some slides that sync to my narration. I just like it better that way. I haven't time myself so I'm not sure which way is faster but that's the way I like to do it.

Thanks

this is similar to what I have done in the past, but if the video doesn't have lots of flashing moving pics, you may not keep the audience. Then you have to optimize the video with the appropriate links. Its quite a bit of work but I have heard that there is much less competition for ranking for videos in amongst the websites for a given search.

The best way to do this is a software called instant video articles software. It's a software priced with a one time payment, no recurring fee.

I may sound like an ad

I'm just a happy customer ^^

I would not use software but a human (you or someone you pay) the reason is that your call to action will convert better, because people can detect if a computer did it or a human.

I have used instant video articles and it is has a very understandable step by step tutorial with it which shows you how to do everything. It also suggests other sources you can use to add music to your videos if you do not like the music files included with the software.
I think it is fantastic and would say give it a try.

Thanks

People are actually buying software to do this automatically?

It takes 3 minutes to do the line breaks and 3 minutes to read it out, add some background music and voila, it's done.

I'm technically useless but I can do this pretty fast and easily. Ok, you'll need Camtasia but that is one fancy bit of kit, not just limited to converting articles to video's.

Just please, please, please don't do either of these 2 things:

1. Use one of those computerized, robot voices to voice your video. Nothing says "boring" like a monotonous robot

2. Make a bunch of Powerpoint slides that echo your script verbatim. No one wants to be read to. I can read. I don't need to watch slides go by while you read what's on them. (use the slides to drive home your point, or to accentuate certain things instead)

And, before you start, make sure that your article will actually work as a video script. There is a big difference between writing for print and writing for video - even with something that's as conversational as a video. You will probably need to make some tweaks so that it's sounds like you're talking off the cuff - instead of just reading an article.

Glad you mentioned number 2 and I'm going to put my hand up and say I actually did do that for my first bunch of powerpoint/camtasia videos when I started coaching. I may have made myself fall asleep.

I find now if I'm doing PP/Camtasia It's okay to read what's on the screen BUT elaborating naturally around the bullet points adds way more to the presentation.

I think hiring someone is okay but not when you want to build a library of videos...
