How to Make YouTube Videos for Free Traffic
YouTube videos are a great traffic source, but first you need to know how to make a YouTube video in order to enjoy the benefits. Once you do it the fist time, I promise you that you’ll find it incredibly easy. The more you do it, the faster you’ll be able to create and upload videos. If you were to do just one a day, you would be sitting on a fortune in no time. This is, in my opinion and from my experience, well worth your time.
How to Make YouTube Videos
You may not even realize this, but chances are you have everything you need to create your own video. I’ve created dozens of low-quality videos that were essentially just PowerPoint slides with me talking over them that have brought me enormous amounts of free traffic, so don’t think that you have to get all Hollywood with your videos.
If you are running on Windows, check to see if you have Windows Movie Maker in your start/programs screen. You should. If not, search for it on Google and download — it’s free.
This is the software that will compile and create your video.
The other thing you’ll need is PowerPoint to make your video slides. If you don’t have PowerPoint, download the Open Office version, which is free.
Now all you need to do is create a short, interesting and informative PowerPoint presentation about some aspect of your niche. It could be a “5 Tips” type video, or “How To” videos work well too. The key is to make it engaging, informative or interesting, and leave the viewer hanging and needing more so they’ll visit your site.
Once you have your PowerPoint slides compiled, hit the “file” button to export the slides as images. Save these images to your desktop and you’ll drag/drop them into Windows Movie Maker to compile your video. Now all you need to do is add some more images if you like, record some audio, or just drop a mp3 file to have some background music.
Save your completed video, log in to your YouTube account to upload your video, and come up with a catchy title. Be sure to fill the “tags” with your keywords and include your link in the description. If you use “http://” at the front of your link, it will be a hot, hyperlink that viewers can click.
Once YouTube has made your video available, click the “edit” button to add some annotations. Here’s where you can insert overlays to mention your website or some text like, “click the link in the description to learn more.”
That’s it! That’s how to make YouTube videos. Super simple, and if you upload one a day, you can’t help but drive traffic to your website in order to make some money. Don’t believe me…
