How I got over my fear of making videos.

I am sure by now that everyone has heard this said. More than half of the internet traffic comes from video. How many of you knew that? So my next questions is why isn’t everyone using video? I can say I waited much too long in trying out the video seen. I was intimidated by the whole process. I don’t own a video camera so that was a convenient way of staying away from it. So if you aren’t using video at this time read on and find out what I did to get on the Video marketing seen before everyone else.

The first thing I did was try to find other video explaining how to make videos and put them on the internet. Of course there are a lot of them on youtube and other video sites, but none seemed to really explain the details. So what I did is purchase a membership to Traffic Geyser. IN case you don;t know Traffic Geyser allows you to submit your videos to their server one time. Then their server distributes your vidoes to over 25 video sites. Anyway, I had watched a couple of their free videos and I liked what I saw. After joining Traffic Geyser, I found that their training videos broke down every detail as to how to create a video with and without a camera. Traffic Geyser has a pretty awesome slide show creator that allows you to build videos using powerpoint slides.

I then mastered their slide show creator and went on to purchase Vegas Movie Studio. This software allows you to create videos on your own PC. You can create slide shows of your own. Don;t get me wrong the Trafic Geyser solution works fine but it gets a little tedious. Have Vegas Movie studio allows me to pump out presentation videos in 10 -15 minutes. I can then upload the videos to my favorite video submission sites.

Now that I have mastered creating presentation videos I am considering moving to the next step. Creating video using a camera. I think it might be a little easier, because you can just shoot and be done with it. I have been hearing a lot of good things about the flip video movie camera. So I am now considering it as my next purchase to my video arsenal.

That’s how I got over my fear of making videos. I hopw this helps someone or points you in the right direction. It really isn’t that difficult to make a video. You just need to educate yourself and you’ll be on your way!
