Comments on: YouTube – Your Ticket to More Traffic? http://blog.2createawebsite.com/2008/04/11/youtube-your-ticket-to-more-traffic/ Your guide to building, promoting and monetizing blogs and websites Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:52:10 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Pierre Gagné http://blog.2createawebsite.com/2008/04/11/youtube-your-ticket-to-more-traffic/#comment-8917 Pierre Gagné Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:44:33 +0000 http://blog.2createawebsite.com/?p=214#comment-8917 I do believe there is a good opportunity for you. If your content is good, I don't see why not ? Especially if you cover something that people need an answer to a specific problem. I'd say, GO FOR IT. Just take your time to cover it well. If you see later on that hearing people are e-mailing you to get sound on a video in particular, you could always find someone who could do the voice over later on if you get enough demand for it. Heck, you could translate in sign language for other people as well. I would say just start small and then buildup over time if you see results. Another thing is you could start a video dictionary for hearing people who want to LEARN sign language. Just try not to shell out big bucks like I tend to do! lol. Peace! I do believe there is a good opportunity for you.

It is very easy to use and can capture a still picture of your screen or a video capture but video is limited to 5 minutes maximum for recording time. It has basic funtion and can surely start you up in the screencast business. It also has link embedding to facilitate integration with your website. If you want more option and flexibility, then you can start considering buying the pro version of JING which is about 14.95 USD per year. Then, there is the more advanced full fledge Camtasia studio also from techsmith which is available for Mac and PC, you can download a free 30 days trial so you can experiment with it before considering a purchase, but is is priced at $299.00 USD. Since I work in the 3D business and need to refer to some tutorials that are only online, I use it to capture video tutorials that are free or the ones that I bought which are only online and edit video screen captures and to convert them in the differents formats I need to reduce size. You can easily add zoom-ins of the places you click in your screen, choose presets, add voice over, resize video, etc. I believe many screen casters use it for it's power, flexibility and ease of use. I know that there are others softwares that are free out there, but I'm not very familiar with them. Just do a search for "screen capture freeware or screen capture software". Something got to come up. Hope that helps! One software that is easy to use and free is JING from techsmith. http://www.techsmith.com.

I thank you for this post and I've seen all of your website building related videos on YouTube. My dilemma is this - I am Deaf and use sign language only. This seems to mean for me that my audience would always be a small one on Youtube, albeit a great niche. Do you think that if you saw a Youtube video with GREAT instructions, but had to watch the video with English (Spanish, German, etc) SUBTITLES, that you'd go ahead and keep watching, even without the sound of voice? IF anyone else also wants to lend a comment or suggestion/feedback on this, it would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you for reading, Lisa! I've wanted to ask you this question for a while now. Peace, MJ Hi Lisa!

It has remained there for close to six months. One of my website customers made a video showing step by step info about how to make a stained glass race car. She took the number one position for "stained glass race car" in Googles SERPS. If you have never seen the process of making stained glass it's worth watching.

I am not sure if it is just mac app or window as well. That is one one I am playing with. If you do a google search for screencast software you can get idea of what the pros are using.

Where you have a video image of your screen showing how to do something. You could make a series with each video only lasting 2-5 minutes on how to make a website for the total beginners. That alone would take about 10 videos to complete. I have actually been searching around for video screencast like that. Another series could be how to load a vbullentin forum, or any forum for that matter. I have been searching for a screencast tutorial of that as well. I have no clue when it come to FTP file folders!! That information alone on video tutorial would be worth its weight in gold!! Gen Hey Lisa,
