i am looking to make youtube videos to add to my collection. i want this youtube business to last and i want great content in every video.
i do not want to do explaino or video fx .....no more software. besides youtube has been deleting software videos.
but fiverr is getting very expensive to do videos. especially if i need 100 videos.
fiverr charge $40 to $50 per video.

    What do you mean by "natural"? I didn't know Youtube was is deleting "software" videos. Half the advertisements on TV look like they were made with Powerpoint - I can't imagine Youtube/Google deleting videos that were created with software. Do you mind explaining?

      Screen cast of powerpoint with live examples of what you're explaining, or at least detailed descriptions of whatever your topic is should be enough. Add in a nice voice over narrating everything from an informative/instructional point of view should also help.

      Even better if you can get on camera and do a split screen because people tend to believe you a bit more if they can hear you and see your face. Shows that you're willing to be out in the open with your stuff.

      You should not be looking to fiverr if you want to build any type of relationship with your video audience, especially if you're using actors for your videos (unless it's a pretty girl you're likely to see your dislike bar increasing fast).

    Who told you that YouTube has been deleting videos made with software? I did a Google search and haven't seen anything about it. I have several videos there that are all created with software.

    I could see deleting low quality videos that only contain marketing messages, but as long as the videos are decent quality and not promoting garbage I don't see the problem.

    Can you please share where you saw that?

    bu the way i mean natural : some one that knows about the subject not just reading from a script. i hope this makes sense. natural i also mean, example weight loss:
    it will be a woman talking about her experience and how she solved her problem. i mean real everyday people for retention views

    Agreed Get real people to do the videos as people will find them hopefully easier to relate to and you have a great chance of your you tube video being popular,

      Nice video Nick...


      And to add a bit to Nick's suggestions...the more content you have in the audio, the less effort you need to put into the video. Of course, this advice is more for videos that contain information than "testimonials".


      People still listen to the radio and podcasts, but when was the last time you watched a silent movie? IMO, audio content is the most under-appreciated aspect of creating videos. A decent mic and a good script really make video making much more effective.

    I have a mac. Open up iMovie and record yourself. Take a walk and record yourself on your phone. It cannot be more natural than that and it costs nothing if you have a phone and computer. Use iMovie to edit, comes standard on mac or upload the raw footage to youtube and use their editor. People do this all the time and accumulate 10K-100K subscribers over time.

    Well i have done youtube for a long time now and the best software i would invest in is camtasia, yes it is a little pricey but in the long run you will save a tonne of money because you can records and edit your videos in the software.

    I am just beginning to make youtube videos myself...I have honestly avoided that for a long time...I was asked to make a testimonial video for a friend....I tried to talk her out of it...lol

    I was told I should simply try to get better with them because the testimonial video was fine, according to her, and video marketing would be good for a business

    Now,,, I bring that up simply because you said you wanted all your videos to have great content in every video...do that for sure...but I would simply have a good idea of what point you want to make and then upload the video to youtube...

    I want to direct you to a training video I saw that drove a point home to me...it's good for all of us to keep in mind.

    http://youtu.be/XrGTgnAaDYg

    A MAJOR point is driven home in this video...I hope it helps in this instance

    thanks guys. and antonio, that is exactly my idea. i have great scripts full of great content. hiring someone from fiverr gets to be very expensive if i need 100 videos. they charge between $40-50 per video. here is a great idea for fiverr, someone should actually have a gig on fiverr that really is $5.00 :

    I’m so sorry to hear your frustration with video testimonials on Fiverr being more expensive than expected. May I ask what specific types of videos are you looking to get created?

    Thank you..

    I think you need to do more research especially on fiverr.There are plenty of great people with gigs who can help you make bulk videos way cheaper than what you just said

    there are good people but remember they charge $5 per 30 second. so, a 4 minute video full of rich content will cost about $40.

      For a high quality video 4 minutes long, of course you're not going to find someone to do it for just $5.

      Try focusing on venders outside the US. The only problem is you're probably going to be disappointed with the quality.

      Video is in high demand and to create it takes a lot of time and effort. Anyone who's willing and able to do the work more than deserves to be paid their worth and unfortunately $5 does not cut it.

      It's like the saying goes...you get what you pay for.

    Powtoon is a great tool for video presentation or editing. I've tried it and it has a voice over too.
    They have enticing templates that are ready to use. For starter videos, you can check it out.

    hi guys...from my experience...natural everyday videos sell better. i do not like the professional templates with the flashy hd quality. example : baby product : i want the woman to tell her story with a baby in her hand in her bath robe....lol...people relate better to real and everday people. i love pawtoon as well for other features

    I see. Just do it yourself or with friends. Make a couple of videos and combine them after all and you will see the result.

    If you have a really high quality video that could easily get over 100K hits or go viral with the right content, it seems like a pretty good investment to me for even $40. What are you using it for? If it is as good as it should be for that price, I wouldn't think you would have any problem getting your money back from it.This would be a good idea to use for clickbank products too and I may look into this later. I personally just use ezvid to record the screen of my laptop and have a microphone for the sound but have had a couple videos with some lag while trying to record a sales video at the same time.

      For "How To" videos about horse training, the obvious strategy would be to get a cheap digital video camera and record the horse training videos yourself.

      The next best option would be to have tons of <legal to use> horse images and stock video, add them to PowerPoint as needed, add highlights of your tips as headlines and make the "main" content your audio voice over that contains good and interesting info.

      Then convert your PowerPoint to video and submit to the major video sites.

      Also, submit the audio to podcasting sites.

      Submit the Powerpoint slides to doc sharing sites like Slideshare, Scribd, issuu, and Medium.com.

      Finally, convert the Powerpoint to PDF and submit to the free ebook sites.

      Powerpoint has a free 30 day trial and after that is only $10 a month to "rent" from the Cloud and its ability to export in a variety of formats makes it very flexible for marketing.
