UTUBE FOR BUSINESS
ONLINEVIDEO MARKETING FOR ANY BUSINESS
MICHAEL MILLER
This book I found to be informative in some respects. If you are a novice then this book would be great if you want to create Utube videos. I guess I am in the in between stages. Meaning I have been experimenting with some gadgets. Some I have mastered and some I have not. I have yet to do any editing with editing software which the book mentions. Since today is the day of “keeping it real”, this is right up my alley. Reality TV shows have really taken off. Although, I am relatively new to this game , I have been a subscriber to Utube for at least 5 years. I purchased this book in the hopes I could pick up some pointers in creating my own television show. The name of my television show is the JUSTASKKIMTV SHOW “where real recognize real”.
I personally think the book is useful but a little outdated. I have my FlipHD Mino which I can carry in my handbag. I think it is very useful and effective. It is very user friendly. There is no software to install. You just plug and play. I use my Flip HD Mino to create my videos. When I am finished I just upload the videos to UTube, Facebook and Myspace with just one click of the mouse. The audio is clear the the videos are crisp and professional. There was no mention of the FlipHD Mino in the book. Also, there is a business opportunity VM Direct which is MLM where you can create your own television shows and ever pay per view. The book did now mention Hello World or VM Direct.
However, the book did have some interesting subjects. Like the webcam. This computer I am using has one installed. This is an application that I have not been using. For whatever reasons. I tried it once and it works great. I have to get some better lighting and a wireless microphone and I am in business. I did buy a wireless microphone but, it was low end and it hasn’t given me the desired results. I did invest in the Logitech webcam’s 2 of them as a matter of fact and they were a great learning tool for my son. I had a computer crash and haven’t had a chance to get the other one repaired. As a matter of fact my family and I did a video conference on Skype using the Logitech Webcam. It was awesome. I am well aware of the benefits of Utube and Webcams.
As my budget permits I will invest in more gadgets. I would love to buy an AppleLaptop. I will place this on my wish list along with GarageBand Software. The GarageBand software is for the Mac and is an audio application.
I also see people uploading videos using their Blackberry. There are many new applications out there that the book didn’t mention. However, I am most interested in Windows Movie Maker which comes with most computers today. So the book did give tips on the use of this as well as other advantages for using Windows Movie Maker.
In conclusion, the book was written over a year ago and a lot has changed since then. The book did help me with my Utube Channel. I was able to get that up and running. The book has certainly pushed me in the right direction. I am now working on my website. I will try Google Adsense and the book mentions along with other Ecommerce applications.
