How To Choose A Video Production Company For Your Business

How To Choose A Video Production Company For Your Business



Finding and hiring a video production company for your business can be frustrating and risky for a small business owner, often having to take a crash course in video technology and hoping for the best. But by following these three considerations when choosing a video producer, you can drastically increase the chances that your video project will be responsive, visually stunning, and pay for itself many times over.



1. Determine the size of the production company you need. Although there are many factors that determine the cost of a video shoot (as explained later), the first consideration for staying in budget is the type and size of the production company. Large production companies have multiple studios and sound stages, editing suites, and a sizeable staff. These are the people that television stations and Hollywood producers call on when they need a local production for television, cable, or film. They are very experienced and produce fantastic results, but a considerable price tag must accompany such overhead. Often they are unable to service small businesses because they cannot accommodate such small budgets, as they'd usually have plenty of calls and projects from clients with deep pockets keeping them busy. The next step down is a smaller, full-time production company. Small and medium sized businesses are the core of their clientèle, so they are compelled to keep a video project as lean as possible, yet deliver the best possible quality for the money being paid. These production companies may have a small, single studio and editing suite, or they may work out of their home studio and rent a sound stage when the project calls for it. There may be one or two full time employees, and the rest are contract crew on a per-project basis. This helps translate into lower production costs for you. The final category of video producers is part-time, weekend-only videographers. These producers have a camera and a computer, and want to make some extra money on their free time. They can often underbid anyone else in town, because they already have their full time job and any extra money on the side is fine with them. But their ability to understand corporate, commercial, and broadcast needs are limited, and often shows in the quality of their production...it just looks like really good quality homemade video.



Choosing a medium-sized, full time production company will give you the most bang for the buck. This is not to say that large companies intentionally price themselves out of range for small businesses, some may be very willing to work with you. It's just that a large production house will probably not be as eager and excited to earn your business for a $2000 project when they're used to getting calls for $20,000 jobs on average. You don't need to directly interrogate each company about the size of their business. Look at their website and see examples of their clients…if they seem to favor Fortune 500 companies, TV stations, and feature films, then you can assume that they're a large production company. Or if you see a 30,000 square foot facility with immaculate furnishings, you can deduce that the price tag they give you will be sizeable.



2. Compare company demo reels to see who can give the best quality for your budget. Once you've determined the size of the video company to use, then it's time to compare demo reels among the companies in your price range. One of the main factors that will determine visual quality in the portfolios is the format the project was shot on. Video technology changes drastically every 4-7 years, and what was broadcast quality 15 years ago with $50,000 cameras can be achieved with a $5000 HD camera today. The producer should match the video format with what provides the best noticeable quality for your budget.



There are many other factors that can determine the overall quality of a video production, but choosing the format is the foundation upon which many other costs are built upon. You have to ask yourself, "Will spending X amount of additional dollars on a higher-end format increase my response rate or accomplish my objectives better?" If you're doing a TV spot, then quality is critical for that first impression. For an employee training video, immaculate image quality is probably not critical. That's why it is the opinion of this author that the HD format offers the best balance of quality and cost, for any type of video production. As you watch the demo reels and portfolios of various production companies, pay attention to not only the mere image quality, but also the lighting, camera movements, and audio quality. One way to practice this is while you're watching TV at home. Instead of zipping past the commercials of the show you've tivo-ed, watch and focus on the details of how national commercials are shot. Notice the smooth diffused lighting, the track/dolly camera movements (i.e., not much zooming!), and the deep contrast with vivid colors. Even if your video project is not a commercial spot, you can train your eye to notice quality by comparing it with the standard.



3. Consider the professionalism and business practices of the company. After a budget is finalized, the producer should create a treatment (blueprint for the video) upon which your contract will be based. You should know ahead of time exactly what will be done, what equipment will be used, what crew will be hired, and how each scene will be storyboarded. Granted there is an element of creativity that will vary and not necessarily translate directly onto paper, but strive to have everything in writing so that there are no misunderstandings or faulty expectations. Consider the personality and professionalism of the salesman, the director, or producer you are working with. Do you sense that he understands your industry or is eager to learn about it? Does he provide valuable input without being pushy or cocky? There should be a free flow of input into the project from both sides, without any ego problems. These traits may seem trivial, but video producers can be a creative and finicky bunch that take their art very seriously. It is paramount to have not only a creative team, but one who puts your needs and goals above their own.



I highly recommend a software that can greatly improves the effectiveness of your videos. This software called easy video player will enable you to place your videos on your site easily, take advantage of the social networks and help put steroid on your affiliate marketing campaigns.

Google Best Search Engine Optimization Practices

Google Best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Practices



The four part of this article will concentrate on the link areas of the off-page optimization for Google. I will review 5 essential link areas.



Reciprocal linking does not have the effect it used to.

If you are asking for links right now, stop sending automated link requests. Instead, focus on getting natural links from related sites by using "link bait", in other words, content that is worth linking to because of its value. When offered a link from partners, make sure their page doesn't have more than 100 links already in it, look for 20 links max when possible, and also that their site is related to the theme of yours. At last, check that you are getting traffic from the link, or drop it.



"Article swap" and "article partitioning".

Engage in "article swap" with link partners, and break articles in parts to create a series of them for your visitors to follow (partitioning). Include comments when applicable in all articles (in a different color to distinguish, hint: blue) since it gives visitors great commented content and overcomes duplicate content penalties.



Your internal linking structure.

You want PageRank to be passed to your traffic pages, so avoid absolute links to "About Us", "Privacy Policy", etc. Here the have a good combination of absolute and relative links is a must. Use absolute links within your content areas, not in you navigation. The PageRank score is directly affected by this. The "run of site links" filter includes internal pages now, so keep this in mind. Also make sure you have a relative link to your home page from every page. You should link to directories or portals that are authoritative as far as your external links. Always use your targeted keyword phrase for the anchor text. It is also wise to vary your anchor text when linking to your internal pages, and it always should match your unique phrase.



A few more words on PageRank.

Any PageRank of less than 4 is not counted by the algo. That explains why Google shows much less back links for any domain than other search engines. You need to gain good incoming related links, not just any links. Again, the "less is more" concept could be applied here as well. Few good quality links always out weight lots of low quality unrelated links from other sites. Outgoing links are viewed from a different angle, and are related to "the theme" of your site. There is an optimal ratio between the quality vs. the quantity in links. You need to get as many links from pages with a high PageRank and a low number of total links in them.



Your link campaign goals.

Set yourself some achievable goals when it comes to links. Be realistic, and try to get one link exchange, article swap, directory submission, forum comment, etc. per day. Verify quality of all links, and use the "no follow" link attribute or directly remove all links from any site with 100 or more links on their page that is not an authority site.

SECRET TO SEO AND TOP GOOGLE PLACEMENT

SECRET TO SEO AND TOP GOOGLE PLACEMENT



When does this Google madness end? Nobody knows. Everybody is on board though trying to grab whatever piece of return they can from Google Organic results. Hey, it's free, what else do you want? If you are a business owner who has jumped into the online waters, I'm sure that you are frustrated as hell hearing a million ideas and million methods from a million people. And you also know that there's no such thing as "free advertising" in our world, at least not yet. So until then, you might want to keep on reading.



"The secret to SEO" This is a boring title basically because of the fact that it sounds like a generic get rich theme that we, Americans are subject to on a daily basis. So all you business owners and work from homers must listen to me. THERE'S NO SECRET TO SEO. It's very basic and I'm sure you have read this in a lot of places; it's content. But many sources fail to mention that it has to be relevant content. I tell each of my clients the same thing and it has 3 major clauses;



1- Original Fresh Content

2- Popularity of your site

3- Maintenance

4- Existence



Original and Fresh Content is not as easy as it sounds. We are talking about unique information that will move people to your site. See, the problem with many companies showing up on the top page today is that their pages are optimized for Google with a combination of nonsense sentences and keywords. So, my approach is, why not build a website that actually is optimized for humans? When you do this, you are automatically taking care of the optimization for Google. Come on people, we all know that Google has game and they're increasing their technology every day finding ways to get rid of this "optimization" deal. Google is always on the side of the users and never the advertisers keep that in mind.



Guess what, once you have original and fresh content, people are going to want to visit your site and link to your site. Hey, we just took care of Popularity as well. I'm not saying you do not have to work on the link exchange thing but I promise that it will be minimal. Also you want to stay away from link farms, link exchange offers and paying for links. So I hear that question, how else am I going to bring links to my site? The answer is content. Write articles, submit it to article sites. Prepare a PR, submit it to Prweb.com. Believe me; all these will bring links to your site. All you have to do is, mention your website at the end of these articles and make sure you link to your site with your advertised link text.



Now you are thinking, "That's it; I have the content and the links, I'm the king of Google". That would be wrong. Always remember that while you are doing content and popularity, there are a million competitors doing that and more. So you want to Maintain your content. You want to update it every week so every time Google spiders come to visit your site, they find new useful information. Keep up with daily life and updated news. For example, if you sell farming supplies and the price of grain goes up, you should write an article and put it in your site. Also publish those articles on other articles sites. You can find these sites easily with a "article submit" search on Google.



And the last but not least would be Existence. I don't want to get all philosophical on you but you have to have some type of existence online. Try to search for your company name on Google and see how many results you get; that's your existence. You could also name this one "Brand Recognition". You want to increase that so when somebody searches for farming supplies, they must see your name. You can do this easily by writing articles and Press Releases on a weekly basis. The more you write, the more circulation you will get. If you have a great piece of article or information, acquire a list of media outlets such as local and national newspapers, and fax it to them. They just might bite pick it up. Always remember to include your website at the end as a source and you might have yourself a million dollar makin', traffic gettin' website, Google top rankin' website !!!

Video To Increase Trust and increase your sales

Video To Increase Trust and increase your sales



Everyday consumers commonly think of online businesses as high technology enterprises. While there are indeed some websites that deal in high tech merchandise, most vendor websites trade mostly mundane materials like clothes, beddings and linen and other ordinary stuff we use in our daily lives. With common enterprises like these, the website is only another selling point for their inventory. What will be mostly displayed in these websites are pictures and short text descriptions of products. On the other hand, vendors that deal with high tech materials design their websites in such a way that it reflects the level of technology they work with.



In the eyes of a common consumer, websites that do not exhibit high technology design are probably failing or disreputable. When browsing consumers find your website somewhat lacking in style and technology, looking for another website that will satisfy their expectations is highly probable.



While it would be considered crass and distasteful to make your website look like the command center of the starship Enterprise, a few smatterings of high tech applications can give your website design reputation a good boost. In the beginning days of the internet, people tried to make their websites attractive by using lots of blinking and animated pictures in their websites. As website design matured, a more professional and modern feel gradually took over the blinking internet kaleidoscope world.



Today, website design is usually patterned or themed after the owner's profession or business. Simple but tasteful and professionally elegant are now the norm in designing websites. However, this norm, like technology, is fast becoming obsolete.



As internet availability, data transmission speeds and bandwidths increase, the more options people have for designing a web site. In the beginnings of video streaming, video vendor sites were those that usually contained audio-video streaming capabilities. They used video clips or trailers of a movie to entice a customer to buy the whole video. Today, almost all vendors of video and audio have portions in their websites reserved for viewing movie trailers and listening to audio teasers.



Of course, it would be a mistake to discount or limit the use of video streaming to video and audio websites. Common vendor sites like Amazon.com can surely use video streaming to further enhance the shopping experience of a customer. After all, a customer would like to see the merchandise before she actually makes a purchase. Video streaming provides this specific aid to both vendor and consumer. Aside from viewing videos of the product from different camera angles, a short demonstration of the product can be included in the video just like they do in TV shopping channels.



Outside of video specific and trade merchandising businesses, video and audio streaming is also useful when it comes to other industries such as medical transcription, online education, medical facilities and personnel interconnectivity, online tutorials and instructional modules recorded in video format.



Most importantly, the spread of internet video streaming usage signals an advance in technology. With advances and discoveries, opportunities for new ideas and enterprises abound.



While it is great to have new technology available to, we need to put it to good use for it to be beneficial to us. In the case of websites with video streaming, the customer is assured that the products they sell are workable and crafted with quality. As internet shopping becomes more and more popular, vendor websites will have to see to it that they provide their customers a good look at their product.



These days you can also place your videos on your own blogs easily.

Creating Website Content In The Form Of How-to Video

Creating Website Content In The Form Of How-to Video



Information is the basis of the internet. It can be in various formats, from news, updates to commentary. Nowadays more and more webmasters have realized the importance of providing useful information on their websites. They start creating how-to articles which are usually written in steps. They know that visitors love articles which are written in such format. However, for some people, writing articles is a tedious job. It may be easier and more fun for them to create how-to videos. Moreover, there are many people who prefer watching over reading.



When it comes to making a video, there are individuals who are unsure what their video should be about. The good news is how-to video is one of the most easiest types of videos to make. Just be sure that each step is presented in the proper order so the viewers will not be confused. If needed, add warning on safety, unusual terms and some additional explanations on the video. Also do not forget to let the viewers know what the project entails in the introduction.



Before making your video, it is highly recommended to familiarize yourself with the type of contents which are allowed by your web hosting service. Most web hosting services prohibit their members to publish videos containing violence or threatening materials. You should be able to find the rules on the website of the hosting provider that you are using.



Once you have determined what is acceptable video content and what is not, you should be able to start developing ideas. Once again, when it comes to making a how-to video, you will be showing internet users how to do something. It should be related with the topic of your website. Just create a how-to video on something that you can explain in as little as a few minutes. For instance, you may want to create a video about how to cook a particular food or how to change your car's oil.



To do this, you will need a standard video recording device. Camcorder is a device which is specially designed for recording purposes. Webcam can also be used. However it is not easy to extend the physical distance between your PC and web camera. Many cellphones and digital cameras have video recording capabilities. Just choose the one which also supports sound recording and enables you to expand the memory.



Depending on the topic of your website, you may also create a screen-captured video. This is accomplished by using a software that enables you to record your desktop activity. For example, you could create a "how to" video that teaches others to draw a car using MS Paint in several minutes. Your visitors will feel that they are sitting next to you and looking at your desktop. This is another easy way to make how-to videos.



Another important thing to do is to convert your video so that it can be viewed online without taking too much data transfer. Many web hosting providers support video formats like Windows Media, RealVideo and QuickTime. You may also choose to upload your video to sites like YouTube and then use the special code given to embed the video on your website.



Creating content for your website in the form of how-to video is a great way to give your visitors something useful. Anyone can create stunning videos, from multimedia tutorials and step-by-step presentations. Nowadays people are starting to rely more heavily on the internet. By providing useful tips with videos people will be more likely to recommend you to others.



However these days you can also place your videos on your own blogs easily.

3 Tips To Help Your Online Video Marketing Beat The Competition

3 Tips To Help Your Online Video Marketing Beat The Competition



Got a new business product but don't know where to start? Video marketing just might be for you. This article discusses video marketing, its advantages and a short guide on how to make a video perfect for any marketing campaign.



There are a lot of ways through which you can market your products and your services. Among these methods, the most cost-effective means is perhaps the internet. Through the internet, you can come up with every marketing campaign possible. The internet is so flexible and vast that with the right moves, it can help your business become more popular and more prominent. That being said, let me introduce you to the latest trend and possibly the most effective of all online marketing strategies: video marketing.



--- Video Marketing ---



Video marketing just might be the hottest trend to date in the marketing field. The time for telling through text marketing copy has passed. Instead, it's now time for showing and demonstrating through video clips.



If you're not that familiar with video marketing, there's absolutely no need for you to worry. The internet provides a lot of resources on how you can make your videos. You can learn about the tools that you need to make videos and the techniques that can make your videos work for marketing purposes. The following are some tips on how you can make video marketing work for your business.



1. Determine where to post your videos.



First of all, you have to know where you are going to post your video marketing material. There are many choices available to you. You can place your video in your website for more interesting site content. You can also post video clips in online communities and blogs. Of course, you should not neglect to post videos in video blogging sites like YouTube.



2. Determine the video content.



The prior step will help a long way in determining the content of your video marketing materials. As a general rule, your videos must contain information that will build more interest in your business' products and services. However, the actual and specific content will have to vary, depending on where you're posting your videos.



For instance, videos in your website can be much more product- or service- oriented. Particularly, your videos can demonstrate how effective your product or service is. Your videos in your site can also be video testimonials from your customers. Moreover, they can be video clips about your special promotions and special updates.



Videos posted in online blogs should be more about updates, news and special promotions. They should merely inform your viewers about the latest news and induce your audience to click on the link to your site for more details.



For video blogging sites like YouTube, your video should be less product-oriented and more entertaining and creative. Your website link can be provided with the video and your products can be featured in them, but your videos must never be a simple sales pitch. You're never going to be referred and reposted that way.



3. Identify your audience.



All along, you should keep your audience in mind. How old are your intended consumers? Who are they and where do they come from? The content of your video marketing materials will also heavily depend on the demographics of your intended recipients.



After you have done all of the abovementioned steps, all you will need to do is to make your videos and post them online. Of course, you may have to engage the services of a video server for your purposes.



However these days you can also place your videos on your own blogs easily.

There is a tool that can easily help you place your video on your website. You can also get complementary easy video player bonus if you were to purchase easy video player through my site.

3 Main Reasons Why Video Advertising Is Becoming More Popular

3 Main Reasons Why Video Advertising Is Becoming More Popular



Video advertising is the new way to get the message out about your business, services or products. Here are the three main reasons why video advertising is currently one of the most popular internet marketing methods.



With increasing access to broadband connection, online video streaming as a form of advertisement is becoming increasingly popular. Different types of videos abound in the internet - video emails, video instant messages, video broadcasts, and video blogs.



The idea is to create videos that could put out effective advertisements without alienating viewers who have not yet jumped into the online advertisement viewing bandwagon. Internet video blogging sites like YouTube get millions of hits a day so companies are beginning to consider every possible way to get these people who visit these video blogging sites to buy their products or avail of their services.



There are a lot of reasons why video advertising is becoming increasingly popular; here are some of these reasons.



Reason 1: Wide Coverage and Reach



With video advertising, you will be able to reach different people, young or old, male or female. Your advertising will reach millions of people, regardless of their age, sex, and race.



Thousands of websites generate interest from people worldwide. People, especially the younger generation, are cutting off on their other pursuits to give time to online social networks like MySpace and YouTube. YouTube alone has millions of viewers daily.



This opens a whole worldwide market for every business. It is no wonder why an estimated $400 million was spent for video advertising in 2006 alone. This figure is expected to increase in the coming years. With the majority of internet users preferring to purchase products online, more and more videos are created each year in response.



Reason 2: Videos Get the Message Across



Video messaging uses the audio-visual approach, so it's more effective in getting any message across. People would generally respond more to both visual and audio stimulation.



If your video captures your viewer's interest, you could expect a call, an order, or a hit on your site. Scientifically, it has been proven that the probability of people remembering any message is higher if the message was received through both sight and hearing.



Video messaging is a form of a personal communication to your target market. You can create all kinds of videos and send them via email or post them on your websites. You can create video instant messages, emails or blogs. It depends on what form of video marketing would be most effective for you.



Reason 3: Relatively Inexpensive



Online video advertising is not expensive. It is cheap yet it works. It means good business and more profit. It is cheaper than print ads or TV ads. You spend little for the worldwide market. You don't need to have millions of dollars just so you can launch an effective and competitive video advertisement. This levels the playing field for home-based e-business owners like you.



Virtually all kinds of businesses can create their own online video advertisements, upload these videos on YouTube, and embed the streams into their own websites. In an instant, without even paying for a million dollar worth of video ad, small businesses can have video streaming and market to millions of users worldwide.



However these days you can also place your videos on your own blogs easily.

Why Do I Need Video and/or Audio On My Website?

Why Do I Need Video and/or Audio On My Website?



Bottom Line: If your website and emails are silent, you're leaving money on the table! Its that simple.



More and more online marketers and business owners are seeing the light and recognizing the tremendous benefits of incorporating multimedia into their online marketing strategy. It's a proven fact that multimedia more easily and effectively captivates your audience and grab's the attention of your prospects, visitors, subscribers and customers. Time and time again research has shown that using multimedia in the form of video and/or audio advertisements increases conversation rates, buy rates as well as subscription rates for a product or service.



If studies consistently show the advantage of incorporating multimedia into your online marketing campaign, then those who have not yet added multimedia to their advertising need to seriously rethink and reinvent their marketing strategy.



"As traditional banner ads continue to decline in their effectiveness...leading companies..[will turn] to streaming media to juice up their online advertising. These initial trials are just the beginning of what industry experts believe will be a huge market...Streaming media has a 70% response rate for content, a 60% response rate for advertising information, and a 49% "buy" rate for online merchandise. (Source: Hostcentric Streaming Media: Industry Outlook)."



When you look at the above statistics put together by leading authorities, can you really afford not to jump at the chance to use Multimedia as an advertising strategy?



Look at it this way, without Video and/or Audio your site appears static to the visitor and after seeing hundreds of these types of sites, your customer becomes desensitized which is why sales conversion rates have systematically dropped over the last couple of years all over the Internet.



Savvy Internet Marketers know this and have already seen the light. You'll notice that many of these "Gurus" are lending voice to their sales copy in an effort to increase their conversion rate and many have incorporated video into their marketing. In essence, they are re-inventing themselves, recognizing the tremendous power and benefits inherent in multimedia and using it to captivate their intended audience and to convert prospects into subscribers and customers.



Think about it...you can convince your prospect to buy your product or service or subscribe to your ezine or newsletter much more easily with a 3 minute video as opposed to a long winded sales page that doesn't convey your passion for your product, service or publication. The human voice has the power to influence, motivate, and persuade prospects to take action with much less resistence and reluctance.



These days there are scams all over the Internet and as a result people are very skeptical of many sites and ultimately the "online" business owners behind these websites. By using multimedia in the form of video and audio messages, you leave visitors with the impression that you are a "real" business and someone they CAN trust.



By using multimedia, you can also communicate better with people, specifically prospective customers, allowing you to get your point across much easier which all leads to one end result- MORE SALES!



There are many others benefits to speak of which include the following:



1. Explain selling-points much more easily and clearly to captivate your potential buyer.



2. Describe your product or service and the benefits of using it clearly and concisely.



3. Video and Audio conveys PROFESSIONALISM and most importantly it provides you with something that is essential in any business- CREDIBILITY. With credibility, you can sell more of your product or service, build that sacred opt-in list much more quickly and convince visitors to click on a link to an affiliate program you are advertising.



Therefore, as an increasing number of online business owners and marketers recognize the competitive advantages of multimedia and its power as a communication vehicle, multimedia content will become an integral part of the web experience.



Again, the question asked is "Why do I need Video and Audio on my Website?"



The simple answer: Multimedia is quickly becoming a necessity to the sustainability and future of online businesses. Very soon, all online business owners and marketers without exception will need to incorporate multimedia into their marketing strategies to maintain the continued existence of their online presence.



Do advertisers on TV try to sell you their products and services by using written text?



I rest my case.
