Tips On Getting An Edge With Blogging Video
Blogs began as places where anyone could post his or her thoughts
about anything, in the hope of finding an audience. But mostly,
blogs were piles of words piled on top of more piles of words.
But that has changed in a big way, and the photographs which used
to add visual interest to blogs have been supplanted by blogging
video.
If you want to perk up your blog so that your visitors will spend
more time with you and make a point of coming back, habits you
should be cultivating if you want to turn your blog into a money
maker, you need to start dressing it up with blogging video.
But that doesn't mean you have to go out and drop a thousand bucks
on a video camera.
Tip One: YouTube as Your Blogging Video Source
The Internet is awash in video sites like YouTube, where the world
has congregated to share its discoveries, talents, knowledge, and
daily experiences on video.
Blogging video can be used to illustrate whatever point you are
trying to make with your blog. If you are trying to tell people how
to become bloggers, there's no better way to do it than to set up a
series of blogging videos that walk them through the process.
If you're a WordPress blogger, and you really should be, you're in
luck because Wordpress has a plugin designed to enable you to embed
your favorite YouTube videos directly in your blogs.
The WordPress Viper's Video Quicktags will let you embed not only
YouTube videos by those from Metacafe, MySpace, IFILM, and Vimeo.
What's involved?
Clicking a button and pasting the url of the video into your prompt
box. And just to make things even easier, the plugin lets you
configure the downloaded videos so you get the most effective
presentation on your blog page.
You don't need to worry about embedding blogging videos against
their owner's wishes, because anyone uploading videos to YouTube
can disable the embedding feature if they want.
Tip Two: How to Find The Best Blogging Videos for Your Blog
All you need to do is look over the YouTube categories, and find
the one which seems most likely to have blogging videos related to
the focus of your blog.
Then do a specific search in that category, or just flip through
pages of that category until you find video which sounds like it
might be a good fit. You can even tell how many people have watched
each video, so you'll recognize which ones have wide-based
appeal.
There's really no mystery to enriching your blogs with video
content, and in the Xtreme competition of blogging for bucks, you
need to do whatever you can to get an edge on other bloggers who
are trying to capture the same audience as you.
Blogging video is a great way to keep your audience coming back for
more, and besides, it will save you the time you normally spend in
having to paint word pictures!
I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the
effectiveness of your videos. This software called
easy video

easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid
