If you've been working online I'm sure you might have heard about sites such as You Tube, and Google Video. It's a well-known fact that the Internet is changing, and so is the way people are starting to promote their business online to new prospects. Now people are using the power of video to showcase their goods.

So how can you become apart of this Internet explosion, and quickly cash in? Well its quite simple actually. You just need a few things to make it all work together as a whole.

1. You need to know the basics of running and working with a computer.

2. You're going to need a webcam, or a digital camcorder for those who have more experience.

3. You will need to know how to work both your webcam and/or digital camcorder so you can record video to your computer.

If you can do those three basic things then you can use the power of online video. Now if you can even go as a far as being able to actually edit your videos and add effects to them like music, text, and graphics, then you'll have a great advantage over the rest of the people using online video.

So how else can you use video to help promote your business?

Here are a few ideas.

1. Use video in your emails. This will give people a face to match whatever it is your trying to sell, and most of the time people buy you not whatever it is you sell online.

2. Put videos on your blogs. Instead of writing a blog post. Try putting a video up there and write a small paragraph or two about what your video is based on.

3. Add videos to your website. People want to know whom they are working with in business, and picture can easily be outdated or completely false. Even audio is losing its effect. Adding a video will give your customers a great understanding of whom they will be working with.

4. Put your videos on Myspace. If you have a Myspace page then you should have a video or two up there that people can watch to see what it is you do to work at home.

The more creative you can become with your videos the better. In this world today when people visit a website they want to be able to interact with it, and feel as if they are apart of it. Those who take this new level of technology and run with it will succeed much greater then those who still use old and outdated tactics.
