Online video is one of the most effective way to market yourself and your blog or business. With the rise of user generated videos from users around the world, this has added another dimension to the internet marketing. These videos created by users like you and me are then embedded into blogs or websites and shared with friends and families via email. If the video is liked by many, it will also be shared by many, giving you rapid exposure. Ofcourse, to be able to do that we need service from sites like You Tube which allows us to share videos. Although, You Tube is the ” Big Dog ” when it comes to sharing videos, others sites and services shouldn’t be ignored. The more the better, it allows you to expose your business or blog to more people from around the world.

I usually try to list sites that offer service that might be useful for you, the readers. This post lists 48 video sharing sites that might be of interest to you. Not that you need to try all of them but more than one is certainly better. I hope the list will introduce you to some new sites, enjoy! [Read more →]

Sometimes while browsing the internet you find things that you just can’t go without trying. Animoto is a web service that lets you create your own trailer ( just like a movie ) or video using images from your computer and a tune.

The main objective of this site is to allow you to create a video or a trailer using your images which animates or moves along with the tune of the music you provide. You can also select tunes from their library which currently has Indie Rock, HipHop and Electronica.

Sample Video I made using my Images ( I tried embedding the video here but for some reason it didnt work, so please click the link to watch the video )

The site is simple to use, just upload your pictures, choose a music and hit create video. The only drawback that I found on this site was when the video was rendering, it almost took five minutes to create a video using ten images that I had uploaded, but after the video was created I felt every second was worth the wait.

Another great feature of this site, Animoto boasts that no two videos are ever similar. You can remix your videos and add different music to them and see what it comes up with. Also you can embed the videos on your blog or website or add it to MySpace, FaceBook and other popular social networking sites from animoto itself. Just be careful as this site can be very addictive, I played with this site for almost two and half hours last night just trying to see what it comes up with.

Creating a membership is free and you can create a thirty second video for free but anything longer than that will cost $3.00 per video or you can pay a $30.00 yearly fee and get all access.
