Promoting Your Video Blog
You could also opt to just make some sample videos, and upload those, instead of uploading each and every video that you do, but you won't get as much traffic from it. It all really depends on how much time you have to promote your video blog as to how often you upload to the video sites. Here is a list of video sites that you do not want to miss: YouTube - http://www.youtube.com Google Video - http://video.google.com Yahoo Video - http:/video.yahoo.com Flurl - http://www.flurl.com Eyespot - http://www.eyespot.com Grouper - http://www.grouper.com Jumpcut - http://www.jumpcut.com Our Media - http://www.ourmedia.org Revver - http://www.revver.com Video Egg - http://www.videoegg.com Vimeo - http://www.vimeo.com vSocial - http://www.vsocial.com Join FeedBurner at http://www.feedburner.com and make sure that you put a 'subscribe via feedburner' button on your blog. When you do this, visitors can easily hit the button, and select to have your blog added to their RSS feeds in their reader, or on numerous customized home pages. I didn't mention Technorati in the lists above because it is special, and you should pay special attention to it. Technorati can be found at http://www.technorati.com, and it is one of the biggest blog directories in existence. Make absolutely sure you list your video blog here, and also make sure that it is pinged after each post. Remember that people may acquire your podcast or your video from a variety of sources. Therefore, it is a good idea to promote your video blog through your podcast, and your podcast through your video blog. Never assume that blog watchers are listening to the podcast and vice versa! Make sure that you are using a website statistics program, so that you can analyze your traffic for your podcast and your video blog. This is usually available through your web hosting service. This information is invaluable to a website owner, and it will help you to determine where you need to put forth more advertising efforts, or even where it is best to spend your advertising dollars. Spend less time on what is not working, and more time and money on what is working. You will be able to see where your visitors come from, how long they stay, what pages they enter your site on, and what pages they exit from. Again, this is very valuable information that can not only affect how and where you advertise, but also what you do with the pages on your site.
