Videos are playing an increasingly important role in website interaction and engagement. Assuming you have a good foundation laid for getting your site found, adding video to the mix is a great idea. I’ve collected a few resources to help you get started.
Web Videos On A Budget
You’ll want to make sure that if you create a video, you say something worthwhile. Teach your audience something about your field of expertise. Make your video knowledge-based and educational as opposed to simply an advertisement for the firm. You’ll also want to keep your videos short, between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. It’s also important that you don’t just push out “amateurish” videos as this will mostly likely hurt more than it helps. That being said, if you aren’t ready to invest in a professional video, there are a couple of options to pursue.
Screen Capture – The Jing Project is a free service that will allow you to capture your computer screen as you speak into a mic. You could put together a power point presentation for instance and create a 2-3 minute video.
Animoto – Animoto uses your existing stills, background music, video, etc. to create very professional looking videos. They have both a free and a paid option depending on what you are looking for.
