A viral infection is communicable, thus if you don’t want to be infected with it, try to stay away from someone who has it as much as possible.

In the field of online marketing, viral means the same thing — communicable. The only difference is that in marketing, viral is viewed in a positive way. When you consider using viral marketing personal video, you can be almost certain that your video will spread in more or less the same manner as a virus infection.

In order to go viral with your personal video, it may be necessary to register with social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, or Friendster. These sites have thousands of global followers, and they also have video uploading features which make it easier for you to upload and share your videos.

Another video uploading site that you can use is YouTube. Now YouTube is not really the best site when it comes to quality, but the thing is, it is one of the most popular. As a matter of fact, YouTube is home to billions of videos, so it is often the first site people go to when they search for a particular video clip.

Registration from these sites is fast and easy, and free. Yes, this is one benefit of using these sites — you do not need to pay to be able to post videos.

When you have already registered and uploaded your video, you must also do your part to get your video the most visibility. Make friends and contacts and send them the link to your video. You can also take advantage of online classified ads by posting an ad with your link.

With the state of the economy these days, more and more people are seriously considering starting a home-based business and for the most part, that would involved internet marketing.

The idea of reaching millions of people with your product or information is very exciting. However, the truth of the matter is, internet marketing is not a walk in the park. Even for people who have had many years of experience in the corporate world, this is a whole new ball game. There are literally millions of people who will tell you that a great deal of time, money and resources can be wasted if you do not do things the right way at the beginning. It is a know fact that about 95% of people that enter the world of internet marketing are unsuccessful.

So how do we start….where do we begin? My suggestion is that you check in a number of the search engines. Type in “help in starting my own internet business” and read as many of the posts as you want. You will find a wealth of information.

My best advice is for you to find yourself a mentor. There are many to choose from and each one has something a little different to offer. Not only that, the cost can vary significantly. You definitely do not have to spend thousands of dollars to receive a good education when it comes to doing business on the internet. Actually, many of these gurus give advice and training up front for free or for a nominal fee. Find one, or preferably two or three, that you feel a connection with and check out what they have to offer.

Another great source is YouTube. There are many very good, educational videos on every aspect of doing business on the internet. I always find a video on YouTube to help me out when I run into a problem, especially when it is a technical one.

Initially you will want to decide on a few areas of business that you wish to specialize in. For instance, if you like writing, then you might choose article writing. If you like talking and explaining things to people, you might enjoy doing training videos. When you have figured out the areas you are most interested in, you would want to look for mentors that were experienced in those things.

It is highly unlikely that one person is going to be an expert in both of these fields so don’t fall into the trap of trying to learn from just one. Remember, no one is great at everything. When you do end up with a short list of gurus, make sure you do some research on them personally. Check out as many testimonials on them as you can. Do these testimonials sound genuine to you?

It is a good idea to also check on the guarantee that they are offering with their training product. In my experience, all the better gurus offer a full money-back guarantee if you are dissatisfied for any reason at all. The guarantee can be anywhere from 30 days to even one entire year. The guarantee usually only covers an actual product that you purchase. If you have signed up for personal coaching sessions then you are more than likely not going to receive a guarantee of any sort. After all, what you are paying for is the person’s time.

All the education you will need to be up and running with your home based internet marketing business can be had for a very reasonable sum of money, and in some cases, at no cost at all. Before you know it, you can be online and making money. There has never been a better time than now to start your own business. You are in the right place at the right time and I wish you every success.

You’ve put time, energy and money into creating your videos and you’ve got them up on the web. Now you’re waiting for people to suddenly find them and watch them right? Well you’ve got a bit more work ahead of your in order to do that. You can’t just sit back and wait for people to find your video content. You’ve got to get your videos in front of the video search engines and the spiders so that they can be indexed. So here are some quick ways for you to help get your videos in front of viewers.w

Keywords “If you don’t have good keywords then you might as well quit now. These are vital pieces of information that will help categorize your videos and make them findable in search engines. When people search for video what do they do? They put words into a text box on a webpage and that’s how they search. So make sure you choose specific words that correctly describe your video and then use those words in the title, description and the keyword areas when you post the video up on the web.

Video Sharing Sites “Let’s face it Yahoo and Google know where YouTube is and might not know where your site is. So if you want people to discover your videos then you should put them where the search engines go. YouTube gets more people searching for videos than any other site on the web. So it’s no surprise that we say you should use them, now is it? There are other video aggregation and search engines where you can specifically submit your videos to and some take single video entries while others use Media RSS files.

RSS and MRSS “These two protocols allow you to tell the search engines when your site updates and when you post something new on the web, specifically for MRSS a media file. There are very specific formats required for these files but they’re easy enough to research. Many CMS software packages even make them automatically so you don’t even really need to worry about making it, just submitting it. This will really help the search engines find you content when you tell them where these files are and soon your videos will be shooting up the search engine results charts.

While these are only three simple ways to get your video search engine optimized they are definitely a start. Making your video easy to find, easy to share and appropriately categorized will definitely be a major help in getting people to look at it. But it’s also got to be worth looking at so the content has to be useful and interesting. There are many other things that you can do to search engine optimize your video online so be sure to take a look around.

You know youve done it. Youre part of the YouTube generation and youve not only watched videos but uploaded them as well. Once you did that though you realized the quality of your video just sucked. You tried a variety of things and still arent happy with the quality.

In the meantime, read through this article and youll get some better looking videos in the long run.

Resolution ” YouTube display in a fairly specific resolution and to help their compression utilities get your video up with the minimum of loss of quality you need to match your video up to their resolution. Since theyre using 720p now, which means you should have 1280×720 pixel resolution you need to set your video resolution accordingly. This will cut down on compression time and give you a better idea of what your video will look like in the end. Its not so bad really. The resolution is HD and that means that you can get a real HD experience out of YouTube.

Bitrate ” This is how much data is processed per second when your video is being created or saved. Whenever possible you want this to be as high of a number as you can get. Generally youd like it to be in the range of 6Mbps and 8Mbps. Thats so much data so that when your video goes through the YouTube compressor online, even though there might be a loss of quality, it will still retain enough to look good as it gets popped out the other side. This will make for large file sizes as well so be aware of that.

What else can you do to help YouTube make your video the best it can be? Well you can make sure your audio tracks are set to MP3 or AAC encoding (44.1KHz Stereo) for one. Another thing you can do is make sure the file format is H.264, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 format because quite simply, YouTube doesnt really like much else. You can get yourself a video editor that handles multiple formats to help you with all of this and so that you can convert and edit as you need. You neednt pay a lot for one, even Quicktime Pro is only $30. Finally you can keep your video file above 30 frames per second and this will help reduce jitter after the compression process.

Take all of this into account and youre on your way to some better looking YouTube videos in the near future. Now get out there and get to work!
