Vimeo Changes Interface to Compete with YouTube
Posted by: | CommentsIn the world of video marketing, YouTube is king. However, there are many other video sharing sites that still get a lot of traffic. One of them being Vimeo. Vimeo has just changed its layout in order to make it easier for users to find other content on the site. With the new redesign, it's easier for users to follow subjects, keywords, and other users. Vimeo is known for its high quality videos and simple embedded player. Vimeo found that most bloggers had accounts on both YouTube and Vimeo, yet they would always embed videos on their blogs with Vimeo's player because there are no ads displayed over the video. With these new features, Vimeo is hoping people will be attracted to the site and use it as another marketing tool as well as for their viewing pleasure.

Video Marketing – Make a video without any equipment
Posted by: | CommentsVideo marketing is one of the newest and most powerful methods to market your services and products online. However, one of the biggest problems with video marketing is the video part. More specifically, creating the video is the hardest part. And it's not hard to see why, with cameras, lights, microphones, and editing equipment required to make a decent looking video. There are some other options to getting at least some sort of decent video on YouTube that can market for you. All you need is a YouTube account and that's easy to get. If you have a gmail account then you already have one. Sign in to YouTube and in the upper right corner, click your username and select ‘My Videos'. This will take you to your ‘My Videos & Playlists' page. Near the top of this page are a couple links such as ‘My Channel', ‘Video Editor', ‘Create Video', etc. Click the ‘Create Videos' link:
This will take you to the Create Videos page. Here, you will find a list of sites that provide features such as video editing and video creation. GoAnimate is one such service. This is a pay service but they let you try it out for free. This will let let you create at least one free video, and if you like the service you can always pay for more. What's nice about this service is it will let you enter in any script you want and then put it to an animation they already have created. When you're finished, they let you upload it to your own YouTube channel. Once the video is on your channel, you can send it to friends via facebook or twitter, embed it on your site, and submit it to social bookmarking sites. Go try it out.
With a video like this, it would help if you knew how to market online in order to take advantage of this powerful medium. A great place to learn how to market online is at the Internet Marketing Training Center of Virginia. At IMTC you will learn how to market your products and services online and how to use your new video to the most of its potential.

YouTube – Always Changing
Posted by: | CommentsJust when you think YouTube is going to stay the same for a while, they go and change it all up on you. Today, I was uploading a new promotional video for IMTC when I found that the upload page is completely revamped. Here is what I saw:
Everything is cleaner with a new look on the upload page. Basically, all of the options are the same except that you can now upload more than one video at a time.
But the changes don't stop there. Once you choose your file to upload, the video information page has changed as well.
Everything is still available to you as in the old video information page, but now it's so much nicer looking. Check it out when you get a chance.

YouTube comes out with new options
Posted by: | CommentsBe sure to check out YouTube when you get a chance. They have now changed the ‘As Seen On' feature. The ‘As Seen On' feature lets viewers know what websites that particular video is embedded on. This is very helpful for website and blog owners that post video on their sites. YouTube is now helping them get more exposure. The ‘As Seen On' feature has also moved to just below the view count. This way it's a lot easier to see.
Another nice new feature is the option to read comments two different ways. Now, you can read comments chronologically or related by thread. The related by thread option lets you read the comments and if somebody response to a comment, it is shown indented under the original comment. This make reading comments easier and help people stay involved with the YouTube community, which always helps keep people engaged and viewing more videos. If you know of any more new features on YouTube, leave a comment.
