Product Creation: Easy Way To Create Video Content
There’s nothing wrong with selling a downloadable eBook, but expanding your product’s horizon, beyond text-based content, can make your product a more engaging experience for the customer.
Changing up how you deliver your content will also help you stand apart from the competition and add value to your product.
Think about it. An audio course has more perceived (and actual) value than a written course. And a video course takes it up another notch.
So let’s take a look at some of the other mediums you can use to keep your customer engaged and capture your audience’s attention.
These content creation tools are a great resource… and they’re all free.
A Screencasts is a video that captures what is happening on a computer screen and also records your voice. It’s an excellent way to show someone how to do just about anything. Here are two free resources for recording screencasts:
You can use Jing for creating short (5 minutes or less) screencasts for free. Simply select a window and Jing records everything that happens in that window or that area of the screen. You can narrate the screencast by using your computer’s microphone. If your computer doesn’t have a microphone you can buy one for less than $25 bucks. Jing creates files in SWF format, which is Flash. You can use Jing on your Mac or PC.

Camstudio is another free tool you can use for screencasts. Camstudio creates AVI files and will turn those files into SWF videos. Unlike Jing, there is not a 5 minute maximum recording limit. This is not the same thing as Camtasia Studio which cost $299. Camstudio is only available on the PC right now.

You can easily turn your eBook into an Audio Book by recording yourself reading the eBook. Audio can also be effective in certain areas of your sales copy.
Audacity is a free audio recorder and editor. You can easily play with the pitch of the recording and remove background noise. Audacity has some cool effects, such as wah wah and echo. You can use the free Audacity software on your Mac or PC.

Enhance your product, blog, emails, sales copy or practically any other way that you communicate with your prospects and customers by giving one of these a shot.
If you’ve never created your own product and want to take it to the next level then these tools will empower you to become a content creator and publisher.

Thanks for posting this. I am fairly new to social media and my blog traffic is slowly increasing. I am fairly confident it’s due to me spending a good deal of time commenting on other blogs. Not only does it get my blog out there, but more importantly, I can keep up with what bloggers and readers are talking about! I also spend a great deal of time on Facebook and Twitter… But I really want to reach out to other bloggers in my same arena.

You will have to study your competition to see where you can enter the business that already established. “How can you attract your customers and what they have to do to repeat buyers?. It is a well known fact that if you do not have a well-thought Internet marketing strategy you are preparing for failure.
