Easy Video Player Goes Live & It’s Good!

Following on from my post about the Easy Video Player – Video Marketing Made Easy – here’s a great video I think you’ll like.

By the way the site is now live and the one-off payment option is still available.

Talk is it will go to a monthly fee very soon – watch this video now – it may be too late later!

And here’s a video I created for another site – watch what happens at the endnow that’s cool!

 

Video Marketing Made Easy

I’m a great fan of video marketing – and with WordPress plugins it’s really easy to install on your site. But…

…if you’ve ever tried to upload all of the files you need to a normal site you’ll know how complicated it can be.

Even with WordPress there’s a danger of the videos crashing if there are too many views at once and unless you are really good technically it’s virtually impossible to add Opt-In boxes and automtatic re-directs (to say affiliate sales pages) when the video ends – certainly without spending masses of time.

That’s all about to change.

The marketing activities of so many people using video (or wthose who would like to but have avoided it to date) have just become really simple…

This software is really cool.

You can add Aweber Opt-In boxes that display automatically when the video finishes.

You can add automatic redirects so that when the video ends the visitor is redirected to ANY site that you choose. That could be your own sales page, an affiliate product, a blog, you are limited only by your imagination.

As you know I don’t do hype but I’m told the program will be available for a one-off price (you can use it on as many sites as you like for life) initially only. After a certain number have been sold there will be a monthly fee. Whether that’s sales hype or not I don’t know but personally I prefer a one-off so I won’t take the chance!

The product launches on Tuesday 12th January but in the meantime there are some great explanatory videos and some sales techniques at the site that are well worth watching.

If you use video marketing (or plan to) this is well worth looking at:

How To Put Video On Your Blog – For Free

So you want to know how to put video on your blog but you don’t want to buy Camtasia.

I received an email today from Lon Naylor – the Camtasia expert from ScreenCastProfits in which he told me about Screen Toaster. Thanks Lon. (He’s one of my Google Friends in the sidebar).

It’s an online service that enables you to record your PC screen (just like Camtasia) and Callouts (just like Camtasia) and Voice Overs (just like Camtasia) but it’s free (unlike Camtasia)

Is it any good? We’re about to find out together.

This was totally off the cuff, no preparation and no prior knowledge of how it works so excuse the “content” or lack thereof!

Initial thoughts?

Good, bit slow on loading but easy to use. Once created easy to add callouts and the screen shot. Easy to embed – just copy the code and paste in to blog post (make sure your in HTML screen and not Visual, in WordPress I mean). The size is just fine for the width of this blog – so any Mandigo users won’t go wrong either.

Give it a try. Just sign up and you can start immediately – you don’t even need to wait for their email to arrive.

How To Put Video On Your Blog

The request received was for me to produce a video showing how to put video on your blog.

These blogging instructions are created for our members. The actual video is available inside the Blogging Beginners members area – current members can login via the link in the sidebar.

The video below is merely the item I used to demonstrate how to insert a video into a blog although if you are into music you may want to take a look at where I was in Blip.fm – it’s a good way to get to know people with similar tastes – it’s bit like Musical Twitter!

And this video is one I found on YouTube and is shown again purely as it forms part of the instruction video in Blogging Beginners.
