It’s true. Uploading videos to YouTube certainly has many benefits, but the best strategy is to upload your videos to multiple sites. Unfortunately, this can become quite time consuming, especially if you have to do this frequently with many videos.

The good news is that there are some services that can help you automate this whole process.

HeySpread

HeySpread is my favorite video distribution tool. It is web based, and also cheap. I can submit my video to 17 sites for about a buck, and there is no minimum purchase!

You simply create a free account, load some money (you can pay through paypal), and start submitting. You only have to upload your video once, and they will then take care of spreading it to the other sites. This allows me to knock out videos pretty quickly. They also keep track of the submissions, and even email you a list of all the url’s where your videos are located after they are live.

Traffic Geyser

Traffic Geyser is similar to HeySpread, but a bit more advanced. The downside is that it is also pricey (currently $97 a month . . . but you can try it free for 30 days by using the link above). The good news is that they also provide you with a lot of in-depth training and resources to make videos. You also get access to a forum where you can chat with other video marketers. It’s pretty cool if you have the money and are serious about video marketing (planning on submitting dozens of videos a month).

Video Post Robot

Video Post Robot is a software application that runs off your computer. It submits your video to the top video sites. The big advantage here is that you only pay a one time fee (currently $297) for lifetime access or you can opt for the $19.95 monthly plan. They have a 7-day trial for $1 so you can check it out.

Let’s go through the process of submitting a video. I am going to pick YouTube since it is currently the most popular video site.

The first thing you need to do is create a user account at YouTube. Don’t worry, its free. I would suggest creating a separate email that you use just for your video submissions. This will help keeping track of things a lot easier. A Gmail account is ideal for something like this.

You can signup for a YouTube account here.

Once your account has been activated, just log in and click on the “upload” button to start the submission process. You can also go directly to this url:

http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_upload

The first thing you need to do is come up with a title. This is really important so make sure you give it some thought. You want to make sure that your title is interesting (so people click on it to watch the video) and also reflects the keywords that you are optimizing for.

Next you need to put in a description of the video. It is important to start each description with the URL you are promoting. Many viewers will not click the “more” link to view you entire description so placing you URL at the very beginning will ensure that it is visible to all viewers and encourage some click-throughs. Make it look like this: http://makeavideo.net

Please note how the http:// is at the beginning so it makes the link clickable. It is absolutely vital that you do this, because this is how you get that all important back link to your site (plus
hopefully some visitors will click on it as well). Fill out the rest of the description by describing what the video is about, and try to make it as interesting as possible.

Next you will choose whatever category is most appropriate for the topic of your video. If you are submitting multiple videos for the same site, you may want to pick a different category for each video, to vary where your links are coming from. If your videos are a series similar to this one, then you may want to stick with the same category.

The last option to fill out are the tags. This is where you will put the keywords that the video is optimized for, along with a few other relevant keywords.

You can leave everything else on default settings and then hit “upload a video”. Find the video file on your computer. It may take a few minutes depending on the size of your video. Now your video will be live on YouTube and you’re done!

Overview Of The Best Video Marketing Websites

Now that you have a completed video, it is time to start submitting it to the top video websites. Similar to article marketing directories, there are tons of video sites that will take your video. I don’t recommend submitting it to every single site you can find. Try to focus only on the most popular directories, as this will give you the best return for your time.

Here is a list of the directories to start with:

· YouTube
· Google Video
· Yahoo Video
· Viddler
· Sclipo
· Sumo
· Dailymotion
· Blip
· Metacafe
· Facebook
· Vimeo
· Revver
· Veoh
· Vsocial
· Photobucket
· Putfile
· Bofunk
· HotShare
· Bolt
· LiveVideo
· FlickLife

You might be wondering how in the world you will have time to submit to so many sites?  Shortly, I will be sharing a few video submission services that can take care of this for you.  If you are doing this by hand, I would suggest sticking with the biggest, which would include YouTube, Google Video, and Dailymotion.

If you aren’t doing proper keyword research before you submit your videos, you are taking a stab in the dark at your video becoming popular. Just writing on your niche isn’t enough, you need to be spending time researching and discovering the best keywords to target.

The basic premise of keyword research involves finding keywords that have:

1. A reasonable amount of searches per day/month

2. A reasonably low amount of competition on the internet for that specific phrase.

There are a many free online keyword tools you can use. Google’s Keyword tool is one of the best:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

You basically want to avoid these two problems:

1. Keywords with too much competition (you would not be able to rank high enough)

2. Keywords with too little search volume (you may rank high, but still get very little traffic)

The keyword tool will help you find keywords in that “sweet spot”, where they are receiving a fair amount of hits per day, and there is little competition. Just how much competition should you aim for?

Camtasia is a fantastic, user friendly video screen capture program that many online marketers use all of the time. In fact, it is how all of the videos in this series were made! If you don’t own Camtasia, you can download a copy with a fully-functional free 30 day trial. This should be more than enough time to play around with it and create a few videos of your own:

In part 9, you can see how to use Camtasia to record a video. Basically, all you need to do is use the default settings and record a video that is 640 x 480 in dimension. Then render it to an avi file. See it first-hand here:

Here is a more advanced way to create a video from slides. The process is similar to the slide show we created in part 7 but Power Point has some features that can make your slides look more professional.

Basically, all you need to do in this step is take your script and paste it in, one slide at a time. You can can add a nice looking background to your slides, and also take care to make sure the text is easy to read.

Now we come to the fun part. It is time to make our slides into an actual video, complete with music. We will do this with a simple program that comes bundled with your Windows system, Windows Movie Maker.

In a nutshell, we are going to import our .jpg or .gif “slides” into Movie Maker, arrange them on the storyboard, and add some “mood” music.

Watch this video to see how it’s done.

Another option for the audio file is to narrate your slides using a simple microphone. This is a good idea for instructional type slides.

There are quite a few places on the internet where you can download royalty free music that can be used in your videos. Just search for “royalty free music” and start digging. The great thing about getting decent music is that once you have it, you can use it for all of your videos if you want.

Now that you have completed this process, you should have a wmv file that is ready to upload to video sharing sites.

Now we are going to create a slideshow. To do this properly, we will have to take our script and break it up over several slides. We will be using Windows Paint, which is a free program included with Windows. There are other programs we could use to do this step but Windows Paint is easy to use and it’s free!

Int this step, we are going to use this program to create individual pictures, or “slides”, which we will then insert into Windows Movie Maker (along with background music).

To start off, simply open up the Windows Paint program (if you prefer, you can use any painting program that you have access to).

Watch the video to see the actual process of creating the slides. For demonstration purposes, they are very basic, but you can make your slides look as simple or fancy as you like. Consider changing up the font or adding images or a background color to create more visual appeal.

When you are done with the first slide, save it as an image file (.jpg or .gif) and move onto the next one. To make things easy, save each slide sequentially (example: videoslide-1, videoslide-2, and so on) so you know what order to put them in when it is time to make the video slideshow.
