First Video Attempt.
Okay, I have no idea what I'm doing, but here's my first attempt at a promo video...
All feedback greatly appreciated... !!
This video was created with Lumen5 which is a product developed by sniply. I have had a play with Lumen5 and recently wrote a product review about it for my blog. Feel free to check it out, and if you would like to leave me a comment on the blog post, please let me know and I'll happily return the favor.
UPDATE TO THIS POST
There's been quite a lot of interest in this post, so I've put together a short tutorial to give a quick run through of how I created this video using Lumen5. Feel free to check it out here:

Thanks so much, Cheers, Karen
PLEASE NOTE: Promotion of external links for personal gain is a big no-no here on Wealthy Affiliate. For the avoidance of any doubt, or concern that I may be overstepping the line by sharing this information, I wanted to let you know that Lumen5 does NOT have an affiliate program. It's just a really cool product and I'm sure there's others within this community who would find Lumen5 as useful as I have.

Thanks so much Hennie! I'll reply on that tomorrow - heading off to bed now LOL. Cheers, Karen
Thank you for taking the time to watch it :) If you have any suggestions on what I can do to improve it - please feel free to let me know, Cheers Karen
Hi Karen.
I'm hardly one qualified to make suggestions but I did notice on one of the frames where you had a list of possible interests that you repeated "pets" - not that it would kill your business. :)
Best test is of course the live world.
Good luck with this addition to your marketing strategies.

Hey! Fab first vid! (((Cheers loudly))))
There are many ways to go at this task, and the text-music video template is just one popular format that some people have extraordinary success with in their marketing. I think this format works for you.
So... the lettering. That was interesting! What was the reasoning for your choice of typeface? I liked the italic font in the quote blocks at the end, but they seemed a touch disconnected from the sans serif style you had before that.
And I liked the pink highlighter! But then I got annoyed by that one little exclamation mark I wanted to colour pink, lol. Anyhow, the colouring was a nice way to emphasise your concepts.
The caption that included all the example niches was also a nice selection of possible niches, but they seemed lost together rolled in one - perhaps in future, a sentence like this can be made to enter the screen in fragments, so as to emphasise their unique and distinct concepts?
Anyhow, fab. You are going to have such a marvelous collection of media supporting your efforts!
Hi Ivy, thank you so much for all your wonderful and constructive feedback - that's awesome! I'll definitely look at all of those things for my next iteration. I've been really nervous about trying the whole video thing and I've got a huge amount to learn... so I really appreciate your feedback and how supportive and safe the WA environment is to try new stuff. Cheers, Karen
Well it is a good video but it would be nice if you were in the video and explaining all about wealthy affiliate. I am w YouTuber as well so I make videos to promote my sites. And by having text all in your video people still has to read just like they do on your site. Most people likes to see the actual person behind the website so then they can decide to trust them.
Hey, thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate your help and suggestions. Good point about being in the actual video - I'll have to muster up the courage to go there! Cheers, Karen
Yeah no problem only how I know this is because I watch a lot of big successful youtubers and they are successful and have many subscribers because people falls in love with them and there personality over there content
Thanks for watching! If you have any suggestions on what I can do to improve it - please feel free to let me know, Cheers Karen
It's too professional for the 1st goers.
You've nailed it.
Your next attempt should be with you own sweet voice.
All the best
Thank you that's so kind of you! I'm not sure I should attempt a voice over, half of our guests (who are American), have absolutely no idea what I'm saying - my NZ accent has its own unique twang! Cheers, Karen
Getting point.
But I would love to hear that twangy accent.
Think about it. Take your own convenience though.
