Video Marketing Made Easy

February 2, 2010

We all know that video is the way to go in online marketing.  But sometimes, we may not feel we have enough to say or wish we could flash it up a bit.  Enter ANIMOTO -- a free service that is so easy to use, it’s child’s play!  No, it’s not an associate program so I’m not marketing it -- I’m giving them free advertising.

And speaking of free -- it is free to join and make videos.  You can make videos up to 1 minute in length for free.  You may not think you can communicate much in a minute -- but think about it.  Companies pay MILLIONS for 30 second commercials on the Super Bowl.  If you can’t say it in 30 to 60 seconds, our ADD-ridden society will lose interest.

Animoto at http://animoto.com is a great way to make a video using text, music, graphics, videos to make your point.  It is easier to show Animoto than to explain it.  Of course, I’m a sucker and did upgrade to their $30 year membership for unlimited length videos -- but hey, that’s a pretty cheap deal for marketing on the Internet.

So take a look at what they can do………..I did NOT do this.  I just entered pics and text and chose some music and they put it together.  See what you think.

I think it’s a great addition to a video marketing repertoire.  Of course, it doesn’t replace personal videos starring YOU to personally brand you in front of the world.  You have to do that too.  But it’s a great way to mix it up.  Let me know what you think.
