Video is king and it's here to stay. Did you know that YouTube just vaulted to number 2 on the Alexa hit parade? Yes, it's true. If you're an Internet marketer, you need to make a note of this because video isn't going to go away any time soon and if you want to be in on the craze and make the most out of your marketing efforts, for more details visit to www.outsource-beginners.com you might want to pay attention to some of these cool tips. They will make your videos that much more effective.



The first tip is probably the most important. Make sure the quality of your video is as good as you can make it and still make it manageable to work with. YouTube has limits as to how long your video can be and how large it can be. If you go over 10 minutes, your video will be rejected. Also, if you go over 100 meg, your video will also be rejected. By creating your Camtasia video in FLV format instead of AVI or MOV format, this will greatly reduce the size of the finished video. This is also important if you're going to upload the video to your own site as bandwidth can get sucked up real fast with large videos.

The second tip is to make sure that your audio source is as clean as possible which means using the best microphones. Camtasia audio has a tendency to be a little scratchy with certain microphones. If you find that your audio quality is less than stellar, you might want to first try recording the audio into Audacity, for more details visit to www.forum-marketing-videos.com which is a free program, and then import it into Camtasia. You will find that the quality will be much better if you do this.

The last tip, which is a really cool one, is to use the callout feature in Camtasia to create URLs that the person watching the video can click on. This is done by creating what is called a Flash hot spot and entering in the URL into the hot spot that you want the person to go to. You can either have the URL open in the same window as the video or a different window. This is great for your Internet marketing efforts because this way, the prospect doesn't have to write down or remember the URL. He can just go right to the web site from the video itself.
