What do you use for killer CPA YouTube Videos?

One other thing I forgot to ask as well, I know many people use Powerpoint or Keynote to create slideshow type of videos, but my question is this...how?

I can create slides just fine, but my issues are making them into a movie where the slides go from one to the other, etc.

I use powerpoint, camtasia 6, and windows movie maker. If you add some nice transitions and effects with background music, and some creativity you can have nice videos.

Hi Dayne --

depends what you are looking to do. If you want to do video reviews, then a flip camera will do which will upload directly to youtube.

If you want to do slideshows, I use animoto. I think you bought my guide so read the section on animoto for some tips and tricks.

Then I've seen people do powerpoint.

Hey Dayne,

Another free service you could use if you don't want to buy camtasia is a product called camstudio which you can use to record your PowerPoint slides.

As Kenster said animoto is also a great tool that I also use myself, you can create very cool high quality videos with good effects.

Can you use any song you want when using Animoto or do you have to use the songs they have? It looks very good and I may just buy it for a full year of use.

Also, can you add text like bullet points to things?

Yes to text slides. You can use your audio or theirs

Great thread- going to try a couple of these out as i have been looking for something!

I use Animoto sometimes because it is saving me time. I use Camtasia for video articles but if I am just promoting a freebie or an email submit, an Animoto flashy video with good music and link on the top works fine! And it also saves me oodles of time, takes about 5 minutes to create and upload a video.

I do a lot of video marketing for CPA offers. i use Cyberlink producer, Magix movie making software and Corel Video Studio. This is because no one software does everything i want them to do or if they do i dontknow how to do it. I use royalty free music when i can and make my vids as high quality as i can. I also key my slide changes with the music and people seem to like this. try to get the music to suit the movie if u have access to different types without copyright issues attached.

if you are like me and dont like talking over movies use text to speech software. Many arent any good - Loquendo is the best ive found. The voices are VERY natural.

One of my videos is currently 10,800 views after 2 weeks and is linked to a cpa offer.. and a variation of it - 8,000
Look at original vendor promo videos to get ideas and make them as unique as you can to stimulate comments from viewers and get your video high up in the youtube rankings. My background is in video filming and editing for wedding dvds so i tend to put a lot into each video.

Stuck for images - use wallpapers for slides especially for things like games. need transparent images? Search in google images and put "png" after your search term. Make sure ure images are nice and big so they fill out the video screen with no borders. I find it makes them look more professional unless thats the look u want. I use photoshop but lot of people may not want to go down that road - i just find it can do everything i need and then some.

Upload using Tubemogul but watch the tags that feed thru to Youtube - they dont always come out right. Your main longtail keyword phrase should be in the title of ure video and also be your video filename for max exposure.

Monitor ure video and change the description text if its not doing well enough. make sure all ure main keywords are in the tags field.

if u are doing a video for a major product launch have another vide u can use for the launch - so have 2. this is because when the product launches u will prob see a new popular seach term in google (trends) for it. You can quickly upload the video using keyword tactics I mentioned above and get hoards of traffic (in theory). U will need to do it under another account name as youtube will reject duplicate videos under same username

Hope thats some help!

Hey everyone,

Just a quick question. I posted 2 different ipad CPA offer to youtube and both got deleted resulting with a ban to my account.

The thing is I totally understand the first video that got banned, however for the second video, I used animoto and was pretty sure I didn't violate youtube's TOS, but is still got deleted.

I think the viewers reported my video as spam and that is why it got deleted? It's really frustrating to spend time making the video and in the end getting it deleted.

ANy tips in making a vid that doesn't get deleted by youtube?

Thanks in advance!

I think one person everyone should take a look at on YouTube is KingHuman. While his videos go all over the place, he has 11,619 subscribers. He has videos with over 50,000 views, and almost every video has over 1000 views.

His videos are a little over the top, a little in your face, and a great example of how to create a following you can market to week after week.

The point, by getting a little more creative, wild, and being willing to create an identity, you can extend your marketing far more than many of the simple videos we can create with PowerPoint, Jing, Camstudio, etc...

But, when I want to use content for an article, some pictures, music, and voice over, I use Microsoft's Movie Maker. It is fairly easy to use, lets me accomplish the task. I can grab screenshots of any slides I have made and import the graphic file.

I have used Camstudio to capture video from chats I am having with people, while recording the audio. You can put your two video images side by side, size the window to capture both of you.

I'm currently using just iMovie and Keynote on my Mac and it rules. I'm getting the hang of it and things are getting MUCH easier. I feel like I can do all kinds of things now.
