Come VLOG with me!

As ActiveRain users, we all know and understand the importance of blogging. That's what we do here. Most of our blogs contain words and pictures, but what about video? And I'm not only talking about third-party videos, but original content. Search engines will love it, and you'll have a new medium to provide valuable information to your clients while perhaps finding new leads.

Why video-blogging? Because YouTube, owned by Google, is the second largest search engine in the world (the first being Google, of course). Just like people choose television over books, our clients are choosing videos over text when it comes to informative blogs. They want to see the information in front of them in a visually stimulating way.

I'm a newcomer to video blogs. I'm still learning, but I'm ready to dive in. I created a YouTube Channel and plan to use equipment I already have or have access to: my webcam, Apple software, and flip cam. It really isn't hard... and it actually seems like it's going to be a lot of fun! So, come join me in the world of VLOGGING. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel, and I'll subscribe to yours. We'll do this together!

Bradley, it is cool, quality is good. The only strange thing is the delay in sound. It does not match the lips, and you can clearly notice it, and it is a bit weird

Nice introduction.  I have abou 30 uploads to my YouTube channel.  Many of them are old slide shows that need to be redone into neighborhood videos.  My fall project.

Andy - Thanks, I like it too!

Jon - I noticed that. I uploaded directly to YouTube, but in my future videos I plan to edit and to hopefully nip any issues like this in the bud.

Cindy - I will go look for your channel! Revamping your channel should definitely be your fall project. It will be fun AND productive!

hmmmmmmm - apparently the article and video are from 2010. Not sure why "Spotlighted" two years later with a "Private" video....

Thanks Brad, great intro into the seo benefits of video, I am surprised that it has been up this long and is still set as "private", you might want to change that.
