Let’s say you have a video or a series of videos and you want to charge people to access them online. How exactly do you go about this and what are your options? I provide the answers in this video.

Dave:
This is one of the most informative videos you’ve
produced (well … that’s a lie … I’ve learned more shortcuts
to success from your vids than my years as a former photographer)
One thing … Is this a new blog template.
Love the layout … I know you recommended one in the
past … I don’t know if this is it …..
Again Dave … I like the tip regarding Amazon.

Dave,
Thank you for opening my eyes to new ways to market video content. Why Amazon doesn’t promote createspace a little better is a mystery to me.
Off topic question, but I assume you’re using camtasia for your graphics?
As usual, great tips without the fluff!

@Joe – The video was recorded with Camtasia and edited in Sony Vegas. The graphics/slides were created in Keynote, which is like PowerPoint on a Mac.
I prefer your webvideo university method any day! Must admit as a set and forget the amazon did look good.
Dave,
I’ve looked through many of your
videos. A treasure trove of information here.
I have many of my short biz videos which
were converted a while back into .flv
(flash format) by a guy I had hired
(he’s gone now and I have to now learn on my own).
My question: does any of the programs which
you recommend (Vegas, Final Cut) import
flash video clips?
Is there a program you
would recommend? The Freebie programs
just don’t cut it. Thank you Dave.
@Gadabout – Video editing software won’t accept FLV files as it’s not an editing format…so you’ll need software to convert to an acceptable format, like AVI, MPG, MOV, etc.
I couldn’t recommend a specific software title to do this though, as they are all pretty much the same…developed by individuals rather than trusted companies.
To convert videos to flash. I use FFMPEG. It can take mp4, mov, and a bunch of others and convert it to bunches of others. I can set the bitrate, video dimensions, framerate and more. That’s about all I use it for, but there are lots of other options and functions it can do. It’s shareware, but I use it so much and it works so well for me, I paid the $15 or 20. www. FFMPEGX.com
I also use MPEG Streamclip. It does a bit of conversion, and it won’t open Flash, but I use it mostly for grabbing frame from a video for a placeholder. This, too, is shareware and I paid for it as well. http://www.squared5.com
I’ve been using both of these for over two years. They don’t do much in the way of upgrades, but when it works…
