Making Promotional Videos either to sell a product or advertise one is the way to go!

Since I have started looking into making money on line I am always looking for products to make my life easier.

I have done a lot of research and the latest craze is video marketing. Everyone loves videos. YouTube is the second most popular search engine there is.

I believe in this fast paced world you can get a point across much more quickly in a video than you can in long blogs or documents.

So I was on the search on how to make videos, what equipment I needed, how much was it going to cost and would the videos be high quality. I am not tech savvy at all!

I have looked at hundreds of videos and for me the ones I like the best are the scribing videos. They are the ones that has a hand drawing on a white board with music and voice over capabilities.

I found Sparkol Video Scribe

When I watched these videos I was fascinated at how they worked. So I am attracted to shiny things, what can I say?

I was sure you had to be an expert or graphic designer to create these types of videos. I was very wrong. I watched one of the tutorials they supply and realized just how easy it is to use this software. It is extremely user friendly and fun at the same time.

What is Sparkol In the First Place?

Sparkol VideoScribe is video-scribing software that lets you create professional, engaging and memorable whiteboard animation or doodle videos, without the high price tag of sourcing this service out to someone.

This company did not just develop this software and ignore it . They have a team of people looking for ways to improve this software and use customer suggestions to do it. They are constantly improving their services and at no extra fee.

What can you do with this Software?

Draw “Live” while your consumers watch. There is a built in library of hundreds of images including animals, business items, money related things. unique creatures and people. This is just a short list of what is available.

You can set the size, color and style of the product or idea you’d like drawn, and also how much time you’d like the drawing to take (1 second or 20 seconds or anything else you may wish). If you make the drawing too long it makes the video too long. We don't want to bore people, do we?

You can also import your own images. Maybe you have your own logo you would like to use. Any image you have you can import. The files types this program supports is jpeg, png, gif and jpg.

You can even upload your own profile pic and have it drawn. Now that's neat!

So you have your images in mind, what about text?

If you know how to type you can type anything you want and have it drawn live while you are doing a voice over describing you product. You have the choice of colors, fonts and styles.

This program simulates someone drawing on a whiteboard but you don't have to use that white image. You can add any background you like.

Do you like music in the background of your video?

This program also comes with plenty of music to chose from or once again you can upload your own. It must be in MP3 format though. The library is growing all the time as the company adds more choices.

Narrating your Videos

You can record your message right from the same software or you can hire someone to narrate for you. It's all built into this program. There is a picture of a microphone, you click it and it records. No fancy equipment. This software is all in one in my mind. The only problem I found was that if you make a mistake during your narration you cannot edit it out. You have to erase the recording and try again. Hopefully you are not recording a book!

So far this is my favorite software for making scribed videos and I will be one of their customers. There is so many tutorials available, over the shoulder and watch as they create and teach. The teaching is step by step and covers everything.

Other Benefits

If you hire someone to do this type of video for you the pricing is $1000 to $3000 for a 60 second video. That price just scares me to death!!!

But if I use this program and become proficient at it I could make my own videos for customers and charge the same of slightly less to stay ahead of the competition.

So do you think this program is interesting and worth having?

Sparkol offers a 7 day free trial so you can try before you buy. It will work on a Mac or PC
Get the Free Trial, then Upgrade to Pro

The price for this software is $16.50 / month or you can pay yearly on a recurring basis for $198

I think this is a tool I will be purchasing and using frequently.
