Are You using Videos? Part #4
If you check out my posts you will see that I've made a few posts in respect to produce videos with tools which help you in the process. If you spend some time and learn those you can become in a short time span a video pro which is able to produce sellable high quality videos.
Today here I'd like to show you 2 other tools I discovered which will help you tremendously with your video productions. One is free and the other one not. Let's start with the paid one.
ONE HOUR VIDEO SYSTEM from Chris Webb.
I found this software by coincidence when I was searching for a tool that can help me make my powerpoint videos FAST and still professional looking because I like to sell them for clients.
This tool is like nothing else and you can't compare it to some like Camtasia or Sony Vegas or similar as "One Hour Video System" (I'll call it OHVS) has nothing in common with those tools.
What OHVS does is helping and automating the whole process of
- Writing a script and arrange it
- Recording that script and optimizing the Audio (free software used)
- Producing the Powerpoint slides already synced to the voiceover with the script
- Providing a professional slide template to make it look professional
- Rendering the ready slideshow file in a High Quality 1080px MP4 video
I actually made a video where I review the software, take a look at it here www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAHCaBVVwao
I also did post a review video showing off my FIRST produced video using the suit, you will find it within the review video above.
As this is not a free software I'll offer my help for whom purchases this through me.
Now to the Second tool which is free and everybody can use.
G+ HANGOUTS
You've heard that right. Google + Hangouts are actually a great way to produce screen capture videos LIVE and automatically publish them to Youtube for great rankings.
So instead of making a screen recording video like before, then uploading it to Youtube and SEO the thing you go into your G+ account and start a Hangout.
Off course you have to setup the account so that the Hangout will be recorded and published immediately, but that's easy to do and take only about half an hour.
The video I've published above reviewing One Hour Video System is actually a Hangout where I recorded my screen activities.
The main differences are that you can NOT edit the recording as in a production tool like Camtasia. Youtube offers some editing tools but that's all you can do.
You also will not be able to follow a script here, don't try it. But you must make annotations prioir to your recording and make a ghost script in your head so you can follow a red line and not forget anything.
You also should open all sites and software you want to show prior to recording so your audience does not have to wait to load pages or softwares etc.
And then there is another benefit - a HUGE one actually.
You published YT video from the Hangout get's LLLOOOTTSSS of Google love in respect to rankings. You most probably don't even need to build backlinks to it.
If you like to boost it you can send some visitors to it and social bookmarking - that's it.
Try it out and come back if you like to discuss this strategy.

Hi Guido, and thanks for this information! I hope you can direct me on this question which may be a bit off topic. I have my own self produced exercise video-DVD. I am planning to sell this DVD on my site, i need to set up for my website: 1. a video icon (to click and sell), 2. a website retail cart or subscription portal (i.e. someway to receive orders and payment). I am not currently interested in selling via Amazon or Ebay, etc. until i see purchases made from my website. Is there any person or training you recommend? Thanks again for helpful information regarding videos!
I didn't got it with question no. 1 - a icon would simply be a small clickable image, or do you mean something else? Click and sell seams a lot like a BUY NOW button to me but then it has nothing to do with the video itself.
About 2 - all systems like Clickbank, JVZoo, e-Junkie or a new one which has a totally free level called https://www.zaxaa.com/ can do this for you.
But those handle the payment process for a one time payment or recurring charge.
What else you need is a website where you can integrate that sales process. I use for my sites Profit Theme, a bit similar to OptimizePress but cheaper. You can see more here http://www.getprofitsfast.com/
Hope that helped.
Did your live G+ hangout get a lot of viewers while on air? I've thought about doing one but I feel like I would just be talking to myself the entire time.
Not a single soul but that's what I meant. Use it as a screen recording tool to record something quickly you like to show off. No need to have viewers if you ain't care.
The beauty is that Google handles all for you in terms of publishing and ranking after you finished the Hangout.
