One of the best ways to promote your products and services on online and in turn Earn Money On Line is With Video Marketing through sites like YouTube and Tubemogul. These sites are massive and have millions of users.  This means of course that these same users could be your future customers or prospects if they you are able to get your videos in front of them.

Video Marketing is now an affordable option for most people because of the is wide variety of digital cameras you can use from mobile phones to flip cameras and high ticket video cameras.  These are often high quality in some cases High definition (my Nokia C7 takes excellent high quality HD video for example).  While you can capture and upload video very easily, below are 3 helpful tips for creating great online videos to help you promote your products and services and make money online.

(1) Equipment

As I said earlier cameras come in all shapes and size and picture quality.  If you are going to go through putting the effort in to marketing with video you really need to use the best quality camera with the best sound quality you can afford.  If you have the ability to use a microphone over the cameras built in mic even better.  Wherever possible use a tripod to remove camera shake and try to avoid zooming in as any subtle camera movements can also cause camera shake and make the finished work look unprofessional.

(2) Carrying out live Interviews on camera

Carrying out live interviews is a quick easy and very cost effective way of making a video which does three things:

1). it brands the person you are interviewing,

2). It identifies you as an expert and

3). It enables you to create a product from the interview which you can give away as a free gift or indeed sell.  Making videos is all about setting the scene and controlling what happens within that environment.

Try to find a quiet venue so as to minimize audio distractions there’s nothing worse than completing the shoot to find car noises or people shouting in the background.  The right venue will also help with producing a professional and polished final cut.   This may sound obvious but make sure that you don’t  make any noise at all when your subject is talking you’ll be amaze at what modern mics can pick up.

Remember to make eye contact with your subject to put them at ease and reduce nerves.  If the person is a seasoned professional this wont be  an issue and on these occasions the interview will probably run like clockwork.  Your main objective here is to try to make the interview look and sound as natural as possible.   Lighting is important to make sure you don’t have shadows in your video, it can be expensive though.  If you have lights great play about with them to get best effect. Iif not try to borrow some or shoot your video in a well lit room or outside to ensure the light is good. Don’t shoot your subject in front of a window with the sun behind them as this will cause your subject appear in silhouette. The best light source comes from behind the camera but shouldn’t be too strong as to be uncomfortable for the person being interviewed.

(3) Posting online

There are many popular digital formats you can save you video out to such as MPEG4, WMV, and MPEG4 it all depends what you intend to use the video for. Once you are clear on what you are going to market your video you need to upload your video file.  This could be directly uploaded to your blog and hosted on your own hosting space or uploaded to a video sharing site such ahs YouTube.  Watch out though because YouTube limits video uploads to 15 minutes and 2GB in file size.  Also if you are in a rush to get a video uploaded it can take anything from a few minutes to several hours to upload depending on the speed of your connection speed and the size of your video.

Following the above steps will allow you to create a good quality video which if marketed well will help to attract prospects and brand your or your products in many cases virally across the internet and Earn Money Online With Video Marketing
