Video article marketing is taking information that you have originally created for written articles, and repurposing that same information in a video presentation format. Then you submit your video to the social video sites, such as YouTube, for more traffic, just like you do for the text based article submission sites.

Your goal is to get as many references on the internet back to your business websites from as many high page rank sources as possible. If you cannot create video you cannot get your content on these sites. Creating video articles is a fast way to create the type of video content that can be submitted to these popular sites.

Fast and simple tips to create a video article

1. Take an existing article and read it first as audio only. You will need some kind of microphone and recording software.

2. Create bullet points of text to sync to your recorded narration.

3. If you have a PC you already have Windows Movie Maker where you can sync your bullet points of text to your narration. You then save this as an .avi video file and upload to a social video sharing site.

4. Another more advanced option is to create your bullets and images in Power Point, download CamStudio 2.0, a free screen capture video software. Then you simultaneously in real time read your article and sync your slides and your video is done in one take.

5. Another simple way to build relationships is to use a camcorder or a USB NetCam and read the article to the camera.

These are quick and simple ways you can get started on a shoe string budget with video articles.
