Today's
issue is sponsored by:
I now
have 28 packages of two movies
for
only $2 per set making them a buck
each.
Instead of listing over 1000 movies
individually,
I have put a lot of them in
several
packages ranging from 2 for $2 to
the 10
for $10 and some in between.
I have
categories for family movies,
action,
PG+13 comedy, horror and more:

Well, three
weeks to the day I am still without my car.
My
dealer's service department is helping me fight the
warranty
company who wants to deny my claim. I still
have
almost 25,000 miles of my extended warranty left,
or
until September BUT since they have found it started
with a
radiator hose busting and all the rest of the
damage
supposedly followed that, the warranty adjuster
is
claiming that with a hose NOT being covered, nothing
subsequent
to that event is either. I am NOT a mechanic,
NO
gauges ever went off, heat or check engine and I had
no way
TO know something was wrong until the car got
sluggish
and died right on the road. Luckily, I was
at a
spot where I could safely get the car over to
the
shoulder AS it was dying.
It hit
99 degrees here yesterday and is so muggy
we are
all already melting. It is just now MID-June,
I hate
to see what summer will be like, eek!
remember

Getting
Started with VideoBlogging
Videoblogging
is the next generation of posting ideas
and
products over the internet. Everybody knows about
textblogging.
Now they use videos for a better way of
expression.
This form of communication may entail a lot
of
resources, but it is all worth it. If pictures say
a
thousand words, videoblogging exceeds that by far.
A
videoblog requires larger disk spaces on websites,
a
faster server, and a whole new set of programs to
support
it. Videoblogs can be fed through RSS.
This is
technology of syndicating your website
to
other RSS aggregators.
Videoblogging
works with people on the internet expressing
themselves.
Now, if you put this on a business prospective,
you are
up to a lot of benefits.
Think
of it as a powerful tool in showing your prospective
customers
your line of products or your services. It’s just
like
showing a commercial, but for free. And if you videoblog
through
RSS, you are most probably getting your target market.
People
like to see what they are going to buy. Some would like
to see
proof and be sure that they are getting their money’s
worth
before shelving their dimes on it. All of us know the
influence
of a thirty second commercial. The effect of
videoblogging
is similar to that. You show your product,
people
watch it. If they like it, they buy it. If you
present
it well enough, they’ll buy the product even
if they
don’t need it.
Now, on
the web, things are pretty much static, unlike in
television
in which all are moving. If you post something
that is
mobile, it would most likely catch attention. Now
imagine
your product parading in all its royalty through
a
videoblog. You’ll get phone call orders in no time.
If your
business is just starting up, you can create
a videoblog
right at your own home. All you need is
your
web camera, microphone, video software, and lights.
As long
as you know how to use your camera, you can
create
a videoblog.
Invest
in a good web camera. The higher its resolution,
the
better the output. You will want to present your goods
in the
optimum way, so get the best one possible. Make
a short
story, or just capture your goods in one go.
Just
make sure you are getting the best profile for each.
Get
those creativity juices flowing.
Lights
are important in a production. Make sure to illuminate
the
entire area you are going to use to create your videoblog.
The
brighter the area, the crispier the images will be.
You can
also use lighting effects for added appeal to
the
presentation.
Should
you require sounds for your videoblog, you need
a
microphone. Record you voice as a voice-over for
promoting
the product and its benefit to consumers.
Sounds
are as important as videos on a videoblog.
It is
advisable to make your sound effects as enticing
as the
video.
Your
video editing software can be any program.
You
need this to finalize your work. You can add sounds,
delete
some bad angles, or insert some still pictures
in
there too. Some programs are user-friendly and can be
used
even with zero knowledge on video editing. Even simple
video
editing programs should do the trick. Select your
background
carefully, too. The light affects the
presentation,
so make sure that the background
and the
light complement each other.
Videoblogging
is a great tool but it also has its downside.
It may
slow down your computer so others may steer clear of it.
Download
time may also be a factor if the customer is still
on a
dial-up connection.
But
don’t let this stop you. Let videoblogging be
an
alternative for you, though it is best to still
keep
the text and pictures present in your presentation
to
accommodate all possible viewers of your site.
Nowadays,
the more creative you are in presenting
your
product to the market, the more you are likely
to
succeed. Videoblogging offers an interactive way
of
selling. You involve the customers. You instill
in them
the advantage of your goods.
And at
times, those are enough to make a sale.
