Learn About Making Video

Video Setup

I believe more and more people are going to make video in 2012 and beyond. We are consuming more video than ever before. YouTube serves 3 Billion videos a day, 15% or more of those being consumed on a mobile device ( source). If you’re not yet creating video that’s compelling and useful for the people you want to see more of for your business, then you’re necessarily giving your audience what they want, are you?

YouTube is the #2 search engine in the world. Yes, there are other video hosting sites, and they are all wonderful and deserve your attention. But you should post to whichever site you prefer and YouTube, and that’s just one detail of what you need to know to make video work for you.

    Chris, this will be great. I’ve enjoyed your videos and have started doing more videos. I just posted one last night on making Softball pull up grips. Fun stuff.

    The picture of your setup is great to see. I use one of those same shop lights! Any suggestions on what to upgrade next? (mic, camera, lights, software, etc)

      Troy – I’ll definitely cover that, as I’m getting some new lights today. There’s certainly an upgrade path, such as it is. : ) 

      • http://cubedwellerfitness.com/ Troy Pesola

        Strange how the brain works, but my first thought when reading your response….

        Ooooo …. shiny

        It will be fun to see what you do with the new lights.

  • Todd Schnick

    chris – in process of shopping for a new video camera. the flip has long been retired, and filming video on the iPad2 isn’t going to cut it. what do you recommend? [need to be able to attach a lapel mic] appreciate your thoughts… 

    • http://chrisbrogan.com Chris Brogan

      Gotcha covered. : )

    Video is great.  If you have an iphone, it makes an inexpensive video recorder.   Also, you can invest in a lapel microphone which increases the audio quality and a tripod mount to stablize your video.

    • Caroline

      Here here re lapel microphone, can you recommend one that’s not too costly?

    Excited to see how this unfolds Chris. I am actually filming my second annual reading of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” Year in Review poem for my blog. Alway irreverent and fun.

    I can’t wait to “see”. This is something I rather not learn by trial and error.

    Thanks Chris, I’ve been working a lot on my video editing and taping and have sooo   struggled.  It is difficult to find good information.  I’m excited!  Thank you for being out and about and bringing the best and the latest to us.

    Video is the major piece of my Online strategy for 2012… I’m actually super jacked up about my idea and I can’t wait to see how it works.  

    I’m looking forward to Tuesday’s newsletter to see if I can pick up any tips to help my Video Campaign succeed.

    Thanks Chris!

    This looks like it might be pretty good Chris. I’ll subscribe and find out, just one question. Am I gonna need a lot of expensive video equipment, or can this be done guerrilla style with a handheld video cam? 

    • http://chrisbrogan.com Chris Brogan

      We can do it both ways. : ) 

    • http://chrisbrogan.com Chris Brogan

      I recommend both a handheld in my email plus a mid-level.

      • http://andrewhall.com Andrew Hall

        Thanks Chris. I can live with that. Signed up, and looking forward to learning some things.

    I need to learn more on making quality video for my business. I believe 2012 will be a year that many people will use video marketing a lot.

    • http://www.blurbpoint.com/ Internet Marketing Company

      Agree with you. As after the panda update video plays the important role in the results. And by video one can get the best results and can attract more people as by the video one can explain the concept more clearly and in less time. So tips about the videos going to be more helpful for all. Thanks for such chance to get the tips.
