Video Blogging - A Simple Blogging Alternative to Traditional Options

Expert Author Colleen I Slater

On the Internet you can do just about anything. If you prefer to write, you can type up a blog. If you prefer to make movies, you can create a video blog. There are number of different ways you can get started with video blogging. Here are a few.

First, you need to have the right equipment. You can make a video blog with just your web cam to start out. But if you want a higher quality, you'll want a standalone camcorder. Alternatively, you may want to make videos about things you do on the computer. For this, there are several different screen capture programs available. Camtasia is one of the best.

Next, you'll need a blogging platform. You can use a free blog at blogger.com. You will need to host the videos at a site such as YouTube. These will link back to your own website, and you can embed them in your blog posts. This way, you will get traffic from two different sources.

Finally, you'll need to make your videos. There are a lot of different ways you can do this. You can create scripted videos about just about anything you want. Or you can record yourself talking about what interests you. If you want to make money with your blog, it's advisable to make these videos useful and attractive to those visiting.

Video blogging will only become more popular in the future. More and more people prefer watching videos to reading articles. While there'll always be room for both, there's still time to get started with a successful video blog now.
