No matter how much money you have to spend, there are internet videos for any budget. Videos can be found all over the internet, and are often passed on from person to person through email, friend based websites, and YouTube. These videos can be for advertising or just for fun. Making your own video is easy and won't take very long.



First decide what type of video you are going to make. Are you making a movie with your friends, or for advertising? Advertising internet videos for any budget is more difficult since you will want to use higher quality cameras and microphones. Otherwise there are many different things you can use to make internet videos.

• Cell phones: One of the easiest ways to catch an internet video for any budget is on your cell phone, although it is very low quality. Most phones come with cameras and will give you the option of recording a video from there. You can then upload it onto your computer and onto a web page.

• Web cams: Web cams are another way to create videos. Some laptops come with cameras already installed and you can purchase cameras for desktops. The disadvantage of this is that you can only shoot the video right in front of the computer.

• Digital cameras and video recorders: If your family owns a digital camera or video recorder you will be able to get fairly good quality internet videos for any budget. Video recorders come with extra features that will help you make your clip more interesting.

For the most part, a video camera is the only material you need. If you are making a higher quality video you will want to get your hands on some microphones as well. Most recorders do not pick up sound very well.

The next step is to find a place to shoot and people to play. This is usually not a concern for people making internet videos for any budget. You can recruit some of your friends to help you make the video and set up a place to meet. If you have to drive a long ways consider car pooling, or recreating a similar background so you don't have to travel.

When you make internet videos for any budget you really need to worry about marketing. Unless you are making a fun video you just want your friends to see, it can be difficult to get people to watch your video. There are many different marketing strategies you can use to make internet videos for any budget. Make sure you read up on some of these techniques before you attempt any type of video you want lots of people to see.

*To get your video viewed by many people you will have to post it in as many places as possible. Get accounts on social networks so you can post them up there. After that you will want to start sending it out to all of your friends and email lists.
