How To Market on U-Tube

U-Tube is quickly becoming THE way to market your product or service. Videos on U-Tube are viewed by millions. It is the easy way to gain an instant audience. It's great because people would much rather watch a video with information than read a long webpage. Below is some great information on how to market using U-Tube.

You will need to keep your video under 3 minutes long. To do this, write down a sort of script first. Read your script out loud while timing yourself. This will help you keep the video under 3 minutes, and help you determine exactly what you want to say. While filming the video, it's recommended that you don't actually read the script. You want to sound natural.

Have fun relaying your message. Audiences will believe you and relate to you better if you are having a bit of fun, and if you're being yourself. This is an important reason for acting natural. Audiences can smell a ‘phony' a mile away, and if they think that you're acting, they will be less likely to believe you and trust you. Mention your website at the end of the video so that potential customers can reach you for follow ups.

U-Tube is an amazing way to gain an audience. It is easy, and you're more likely to get a lot of views on your U-Tube video than with a website. When you place yourself in front of the camera, people realize that you are a real person, not just the hands behind a bunch of convincing words. Have you ever read a website and wished that you could see the person who's writing you were reading? U-Tube is a great way to accomplish showing people that you really are a real person.

You will want to place your U-Tube video in the correct category. This is so that when people are searching for a particular thing, your matching video will come up for them to view. You will want to place it in the correct category for your niche. For example, if your video is about ‘the greatest hip hop songs of all time,' you will want to place it under music. The correct category maximizes your chances to gain customers. You will also develop a rapport with others who have videos in that category. This is great because it will increase your chances of marketing. Good luck and market like crazy!

Are You Making A Fool Of Yourself During Video Conferences?

Video conferences are not new to the business world। In fact, they have become so common anyone with an Internet connection, a substantial bandwidth, and a fully functional computer can now hold video conferences with friends, employees, clients, or business contacts from anywhere in the globe.You could video conferences when you:* want to hold meetings online.* need to demonstrate products and services to potential clients from half a world away.* train new employees in another country.* Conduct after-sales servicing of products or software.While video conferences may strike people as informal versions of the usual corporate meet and greet with the bigwigs, never forget that it is still a meeting. Here are some tips that will help you look and sound professional during a video conference.1. Pay special attention to lighting.You need to view the speaker and the presentation. Thus, good lighting is important. If, on the other hand, you are the speaker, avoid staying in a dark area. If you stay in one, all that the conference participants would be able to see of you is your silhouette. The same holds true for areas that are overly flooded with light.2. Maintain eye contact. Eye contact is essential to almost all forms of human interaction. Video conferences are no exemption. As much as possible, look participants directly in the eye, even if you have to do this from a webcam.3. Speak audibly. In video conferences, audio could sometimes be garbled. Make it a point to speak in a very clear voice. Do not chew your words or speak in monotone.4. Make your presentation interesting.5. If you are not the one speaking, give the speaker your full attention. Show that the other person's presentation interests you. Avoid yawning or fidgeting. These two actions are a dead giveaway that you are not following the discussion.6. Hours or even days before the video conference, check on your computer's technical settings. Try holding a mock video conference with a colleague. Ask your colleague to evaluate your audio and video quality. Can your colleague see you? Can your colleague hear you? Tests like these are useful because they will reveal possible glitches that you might encounter during the actual video conference.Without a doubt, video conference is an efficient and effective medium for online interaction. With the advent of the Information Age, it is seeing wider and more accepted use not only in the corporate world but also from homes and universities. wbdoyle

Why YouTube and not Metacafe?

Youtube is definetely the biggest videos website ever, but, something a lot of people do not know is that it was not the first one, there were several other video-sharing websites on the internet a lot earlier than youtube.

Metacafe for example, had the plan to pay it’s users for their video views, and they had a real plan, that would certainly work. Now YouTube is testing something that will do the same. Well, metacafe was placed online some years before youtube, and youtube growed a lot more.

That is something that always made me think, youtube was not a new idea, the new idea was to make another video-sharing website that would turn out to be a big one (as it did), one of the only possible reasons I can figure for that is the advetisement they used, this has prooved to true on other websites, while metacafe was slowly advertised worlwide, youtube was being advertised to the USA only, of course it became a worlwide trend, but the point is how it started.

A massive advertising to the USA is what made youtube so big, people on the USA are the ones who spend more time and more money online, that is a fact, and that is why youtube worked. Well, that makes me think, as this thing did not happen only to youtube, and well, I’ll keep on thinking until I get my own multi-billionaire idea. By: Roberto Bell

The YouTube Warner Deal and The Future of "Show Me" Technologies

According to the Wall Street Journal, YouTube has double pinky swore to Warner Brothers that it will implement some kind of technology in order to credit Warner artists will royalties based on music played on its submitted videos. The deal will surely be the first among many the big labels will be inking with the likes of YouTube and Google Video.

Although this isn't the first time the free transfer of information has been attacked (remember Napster v. Metallica?), it's ramifications could have a much greater reach among the proliferation of "show me" technologies like the posting of personal videos, pictures and music - many of which include derivative works. (Another issue [art form] which has been unduly and systematically attacked by the majors and the RIAA. Remember DJ Danger Mouse and the Grey Album?)

"The new system will give YouTube users a legitimate way to create videos with soundtracks that use music from Warner artists. (Videos of amateurs' lip syncing or juggling to popular songs are among the most viewed on video-sharing sites.) YouTube's system will identify such videos and give Warner a share of the revenue for any ads that appear alongside these videos, if Warner opts for that rather than having the videos removed."

Although this agreement will give YouTube the permission to use Warner properties in "legal" ways, you can't help wondering how permissive Warner will be now they have affirmed ownership and will most likely pull any material used in a fashion that they don't approve - for one reason or another.

But, this isn't a total indictment of the deal. Even though the agreement sets a dangerous precedent, it can be considered a progressive move by Warner, one of the "big 5" major record labels. Warner and YouTube will actually share the revenue produced by ads shown in conjunction with music videos.

That fact that the RIAA or anyone else attempted to pull the site down through litigation before this signals that big music is now starting to "get it", if only a little bit. Only a fool would disregard YouTube's stellar traffic rankings and the potential as a low cost, MAJOR impact advertising venue.

But sites like YouTube, which are devoid of a solid business model, cannot survive forced royalties to Warner, let alone when the other corporate playa haters come calling - EMI, Universal, Sony, BMG [breath] BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, James Hetfield [breath] Harry Fox. Unfortunately, user-generated content sites may have to switch to a subscription-type of service or "pay to post" site which would undoubtedly ruin their web cred and send eyeballs elsewhere.

In order to get some judgment here we need to determine whether the sky is indeed falling - that is, whether these lawsuits will break down the free exchange of ideas across the internet. Fortunately, the legal maneuverings of big business will only curb (temporarily) this trend towards personal presentation (adaptation) online. As users we are inherently more nimble and can change faster than corporations. In other words, keep adapting, keep changing, keep creating and by all means KEEP SHARING!!!

...and one more thing...

If you have a website featuring streaming video through a Flash movie, you can also prepend these videos with as many ads as you like through a digital graft. We can do it. We have the technology. ;-)
