Help Needed With Video

Hi Ged:

Hope you are well today.

There is a product (not sure on the price) that I have no affiliation with called "Article To Video Software" also called Article To Video Robot.

Do a Google/Yahoo search. When it first came out it had a few glitches (I tried it promoting my first book or maybe second) but the pros far outweighed the cons.

When it was first released you were able to use it at least 1 time as a free trial.

Hope this helps and have a great day,
Craig

Why don't you try out window movie maker...its a good tool. You can type your article on MS powerpoint and convert it t video

Thank you,
Craig, Jonat2005 and Adamj2 for your help.

That has given me a great start.

All the best
Ged

Hi Again,
I just wondered if you received much traffic from
your videos?

Thank you
Ged

Thank you Martin,

that could be a great help.

Ged

Thank you KamauAustin,

some good points there - I will have to look in to that.

Thank you
Ged

how many videos you want to convert? If its 10, 20 videos. Use windows movie maker. If more than that, then use some sort of software.

Hi:

Shireen here :-)

I use camtasia

Try this method. It's too simple.........

1. Download GoldWave GoldWave - Audio Editor, Recorder, Converter, Restoration, & Analysis Software (Free audio capturing tool)
2. Get a microphone, select article (For best results, it requires good keyword research) record article as audio.
3. Do some image search and find related images for topic of article.
4. Open Windows Movie Maker.
5. Add images and audio clip into WMM.
6. Add transmission effects, titles and create a niche video 2-3 minutes long.
7. Find video sharing portals such as YouTube, Metacefe..... as you wish, and TAG the video (very important) with proper keywords and upload.

Thank you Sscot,

there are some good tips there

Hi
yes, to use PowerPoint presentation is wise
however, if you don't have it --- or simply don't want to buy,
then you can use its free alternative - OpenOffice ,
after installing it you will find this alternative inside ,
it seems it's called OpenOffice Impress as far as i remember


you can also try using Animoto - online video creation, there's a free version too

as for traffic from videos,
you do have to put effort into promotion of your video
cause everyday Youtube is uploaded several millions of new videos

so
it's logical that you want to promote your videos
you do need to take time and
learn how to promote your videos
but it's worth it -
youtube is the 3rd biggest site on the Internet

as for promotion, you can learn
some wise things from

you can also find a free ebook on the Internet

Viral Video Secrets: An Exclusive
Conversation with Frank Sousa,
Mike Koenigs, and Len Foley

its rather old - 2008, but its a good book


all the best

and the last advice - learn only from professionals ALWAYS (not from newbies)
you will do yourself a BIG favor
and
save TONS of time!!!!!!!!!!
and make less mistakes

Nice advice Martin and good luck Ged.

One other bit of advice.. keep your channel "themed" if you write about dog grooming then keep the channel about dog grooming and dont just stick videos in the mix that talk about internet marketing. Your videos will get more hits and response.

Most people dont' know (or forget) that you can "import" your article's text directly into powerpoint slides... if formatted correctly.

Thank you Costos,Victoria and Istvan,
