Awk be tuned

twitter.com – I've had my new Toyota Prius for a couple of weeks now, and I have to say – I love it! I wanted to drive it for awhile before I attempted to review it for all of you. This was to allow

2010 Toyota Prius V Automobile Look At

Almost everyone has an aversion to that cookie-cutter appearance if they’re truthful about it. There’s really absolutely nothing to celebrate when you see a line of properties inside a housing estate, for example, which inevitably look exactly the same. Maybe the designer of the estate had something specific in the mind, or maybe there were budgetary constraints or perhaps problems in getting the planning permission through those local authority or council departments. Nonetheless, if you happen to are now living in this type of area you have to use what you have got. Be creative about how you plan the garden outdoors and hang a few treatment options for example awnings externally if it’s helpful, to set your home apart from the others.

Now having said that, with regards to the inside of your home you certainly do not have to “conform” in any way. You don’t need to pacify the “home owners” association or possibly those local authority or council inspectors by making certain you have particular fencing or maybe the “appropriate” kind of grass within your garden. You could make the inside of your home your own with no constraints whatsoever.

To start off with, it is incredible what a difference another coat of paint can make. But many people just seem to take a seat and deliberate for many hours while they determine what sort of artwork they could position on the walls or what sort of flower arrangements they could place in each and every room. Take the time to simply settle on how you can paint any walls and despite traditional belief, the 4 walls in every room don’t have to be the identical colour or shade at all.

One other way you could make a considerable difference is to consider window treatments which are off the beaten track. You may consider nice shutters instead of blinds. Not surprisingly, well built wooden shutters somehow bring a lot of depth and character to each and every room. You could have different types of shutter in various rooms, as well. One trendy idea that recently appeared is utilising wooden shutters as a multifaceted wall organiser. This might be particularly valuable in the home office, for example. You can actually use these louvre shutters to hold a variety of different messages, items that you have to do, calendars and all other kinds of notes. Maybe you could use the window treatment to help you display the different magazines you need to get around to reading. In this way, particularly if the home office area is rather modest, you could make the most from the vertical space and not clutter desks and other areas surrounding you.

Take advantage of your own imagination as well as creative genius to create a wide variety of ways to make the interior of your home suit you and not anyone else.

Introduction
Video is the way of the future- period. Even though written content isn’t going away, people LOVE the being able to watch a video.

Just look at the mega-giant YouTube. Every day thousands and thousands of videos get uploaded.

Or look at Netflix- millions of people stream movies and television shows from them every single day.

Video is huge, it keeps growing, and it’s here to stay. That’s why you need to jump on it NOW.

How do you do that? First let’s talk about finding a niche.
Finding Your Niche
Let’s face it- this is covered in just about every internet marketing course out there, so I won’t go too far in depth here.

Basically, you have 3 options to choose from:

1)    A niche that you personally know and love

2)    A huge evergreen market (health, wealth, relationships)

3)    A small niche that you can dominate

Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, you’ll have a lot more fun promoting products within a niche that you love. If you love World of Warcraft (like I do…), you can probably make great videos about it all day long and not get bored.

On the other hand, WoW will eventually die off. Meanwhile, a huge market like weight loss will NEVER go away. In fact, it gets bigger every day!

A small niche that you can dominate might be something like helping college girls lose water weight within 2 weeks for spring break or something.

Just make sure that whatever market or niche you get into that people are spending lots of money!

Here are just a few examples to consider-

Investing
Weight loss
Embarrassing illnesses (gout, Chlamydia, etc.)
How to pick up women/guys
How to repair a marriage
Build muscle
Massive Multiplayer Online Games (World of Warcraft, Rift, Star Wars The Old Republic)
Computer repair
Make money online

Again, all of these can even get broken down. For example the make money online market can be broken into affiliate marketing, video marketing, product creation, list building- all kinds of stuff!

**HINT** I personally think that the best niche for video is computer games. Millions of gamers log onto YouTube every day for tips, tricks, strategies, and walkthroughs for popular games.

And since the computer game industry is worth billions of dollars, it’s a HUGE market that isn’t going away anytime soon.

Once you’ve chosen a niche, it’s time to do research into people’s problems within that niche.
Niche Research
How do you find out the problems that your potential clients have? Hang out where they hang out. Read what they read. Watch what they watch.

For example, you can go to related forums. This is where they not only hang out for fun, but also help each other out.

Go to related YouTube channels. See what your competition is doing.

Look for related Facebook groups.

Check out blogs that are devoted to the subject. You’d be surprised at how many niche blogs are out there!

For an example, let’s say that you’ve chosen the Rift niche. This is a huge computer game that has over a million players.

First, check out the game’s main website. Do this by going to Google and search for “Rift game”. Look around, figure out the main idea of the game, and just learn.

Now, go to YouTube. Use the search function to look for something like “Rift game strategies”, or “Rift game tips”. These will bring up videos to watch and help you understand the game even better.

To find forums, go into Google and search for “Rift forums”. You’ll find a few that you can check out to learn more about the game. People will be asking each other questions and providing answers based on their own experiences.

Look on Facebook for a Rift group (or several). Join any of the ones that you find- chances are they’ll have regular updates, screenshots, and more about the game.

Do you see what you’re doing?

You want to think how your potential clients think! You should be asking yourself the same kinds of questions, and then finding the answers on YouTube and forums.

Without knowing the problems that people have, how can you expect to help solve those problems for them?

Once you’ve learned a lot about your market- including the problems they have and how to solve them (aka the product you’re promoting), it’s time to find some good keywords.
Keyword Research
The good news about keyword research is that if you’ve already done niche research, you’re almost done!

What you’ll find is that a lot of the keywords people are typing into Google and YouTube are about helping them with their problems.

For example, let’s talk more about the Rift computer game. In that game, one of the character classes is called a Mage. You would have learned about this (as well as other game terminology) when you started your niche research.

If you go into the Google Keyword tool and enter “Rift mage”, a lot of relevant results will come up:

 

As you can see, a lot of them pertain to tips, PVP tips, and builds. These are going to be good keywords to target, so they will ultimately be the titles of your videos.

They also give you a good idea on what to make your videos about. You can make one video on Mage PVP builds, another on Mage PVE builds, etc.

These keywords that people search for will also be the tags you use for your video. Tags help YouTube identify what the video is about, so you want lots of relevant tags in there.

Besides just video titles, these keywords will also be used to help you determine article titles. When you start submitting articles to sites like ArticlesBase, Scribd and Squidoo, the better your keywords, the more targeted traffic you’ll get.

Once you’ve got your keywords, let’s go set up your website.
Setting Up Your Website
How you set up your website depends on what you’re trying to do.

Are you promoting a product as an affiliate? If so, buy your own domain, put it on your own hosting account, and then build a squeeze page to build a list.

Are you trying to promote your own product? If so then your video is going to ultimately point to either your sales page or a squeeze page.

Are you just trying to brand yourself? Maybe you’ll just set up a blog, and have your videos point readers to your blog.

Whatever you’re trying to do, I HIGHLY recommend not using free websites like Weebly.com or Blogger.com. Instead, purchase a domain and put it on a hosting account like HostGator or BlueHost.

Then, install WordPress, the blogging platform. WordPress is EXTREMELY flexible and easy to use, and you can do just about anything with it! Squeeze pages, sales pages, blogs- and everything in between.

The reason I recommend doing this over using free websites is simple- you have control. If you build up your business on a free service like Blogger, they can shut down your entire business anytime they feel like it!

Make sense?

Okay- so let’s get into the video side of the report- creating, uploading, and marketing your videos.
Creating Your Video
There are 3 basic ways to put together a good video. Which one you choose is up to you, and you may find that one method works better for your niche than the others.

The 3 main methods are

1)    Screen capture videos (with someone narrating)

2)    Slideshow videos (with music- no narration)

3)    Webcam videos

Let’s start with screen capture videos.
Screen Capture Videos
This type of video is probably the most common among internet marketers. You basically just record what is being shown on your computer monitors and narrate what you are looking at.

For example, most marketers will create a PowerPoint presentation and go through it on camera. Each slide will have some text and photos, and the narrator explains in depth what is being discussed.

Here is an old- but still applicable- video showing you how this works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kiug3H3c4gk

One great way to make these videos is to basically just copy-paste an article into a slideshow presentation. Try to keep it to less than 50 words per slide.  Then you basically read the slide to the viewer.

If you really know the content, you can also just make short bullet statements in the slides. You then explain each bullet statement in detail so the viewer understands what the slide is talking about.

To record these videos, you’ll need 2 things: a microphone and a screen recording program.

For the program, I HIGHLY recommend Camtasia. It’s by far the best product I’ve used- which is why it’s a bit expensive.

If you don’t have the funds to invest right now, consider CamStudio. It’s absolutely free, but I don’t think the quality is as good as Camtasia.

For your microphone, you basically just need any mic that can plug into your computer. One marketer I know uses a Turtle Beach headset used for gaming. Personally I have a $30 headset and microphone combo that works just fine.

If you don’t mind narrating the video, this is the method I personally recommend.

Now let’s look at a slideshow video.
Slideshow Videos
With this method, you aren’t going to be narrating anything. This is basically just a few related images or PowerPoint slides related to your niche.

There’s a great sample for what this can look like on Animoto.com

There are a few ways to do these, but I’ve always used Animoto.com. They have a free service, so that’s a good way to start.

Here’s how this process works:

1)    Create the PowerPoint slides or download photos you’re using

2)    Turn the PowerPoint slides into images

3)    Upload them to Animoto.com

4)    Move them around into the order you want

5)    Add music from Animoto’s selection

That’s it! Realize that it will take a few minutes for Animoto to create the video, but your part doesn’t take much time at all.

Another good website to use is Video Hive. Here you can purchase video templates, and all you have to do is edit the template to say what you want. Personally I think that this is a better way to go than Animoto, but it does require an investment for each video template.

Either way- when you make slideshow videos, make sure your last slide has your domain name on there. Have that last slide play for a few seconds before the video cuts off, to make sure that they see and remember it.

Also- try not to just throw up a bunch of poor, unrelated images. Animoto lets you throw in “Text” slides, where you can describe the last photograph, introduce the next photo, crack a joke, share a tip, etc.

Change it up- don’t let your viewer get bored!

Now let’s look at the last type of video- webcam vids.
Webcam Videos
The idea here is pretty simple. You turn on your webcam, talk to it for a few minutes about your topic, then turn it off.

Here’s one example made by a girl that does a lot of webcam videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJTNCSdTFRc

This is a good way to go for some reasons, but generally I think the other 2 methods are better. The main reason you want to use a webcam is to help people get to know who you are. If you are trying to brand yourself as an expert, webcams are the perfect way to do that…

As long as you do it right.

Most people, however, have no idea what they’re doing. Getting good at talking to a webcam takes practice. You have to know exactly what you’re saying, keep looking straight at the camera, have good lighting, etc.

If you’re going to do this, consider making a few practice videos first. Record, watch, see what you did wrong, fix it, and repeat.

Keep recording new videos until you get it right! It won’t be perfect, but you want something that’s pretty good.

This is actually good advice for every kind of video, but it’s especially important for this “talking head” method.
Uploading Your Video
Yup- making your video is only step one! Now you have to start uploading your video and creating your channels.

The best place to start is simple- YouTube.com. As long as your video isn’t scammy or spammy looking or linking directly to an affiliate link, YouTube is likely to approve it.

**Be aware that make-money-online type of videos aren’t always liked by YouTube**

Here’s the basic steps that you’re going to take

1)    Sign up for YouTube.com

2)    Create a YouTube channel

3)    Upload your videos

Use niche-related keywords as the title of your video
Enter keywords related to the video as tags
Write a description that explains what the video is about

That’s it!

Now remember that you’re using this to drive traffic to your domain, right? To do that, you want to have your URL in the video itself AND in the description. Note that if you put the link at the beginning of your description, YouTube automatically turns it into a hyperlink.

All done with YouTube? Great!

Now it’s time to upload your video to other websites. Even though YouTube is king, there are a number of other sites that also get TONS of traffic every day. By uploading your video to all of them, you’re increasing your exposure. This means more eyeballs on your videos, giving you more traffic to your website, and hopefully more sales!

Here are a few of the best sites to upload your video to:

Vimeo
Viddler
Daily Motion
Blip.tv
Yahoo Video

There are tons more, but this just helps you get started.

Note that uploading your videos manually will get old REALLY fast. Instead, I highly recommend that you do one of 2 things:

1)    Hire someone on Fiverr to do it for you, or

2)    Use Traffic Geyser or SENuke (automated software) and upload to lots of sites
