There can be no doubt that video is a significant part of the internet now. Around a billion youtube videos are watched every day and the numbers are growing constantly. If you can make a video that becomes viral it could encourage thousands of visitors to your website or traffic to your blog.
You do not have to be a tv presenter to make a video. Some of the most popular videos are pretty amateurish and that is sometimes part of their appeal. People want to see genuine content not some salesman making a presentation. You can still sell via your video but you should make it friendly and easy to watch. Try the hard sell if you like, it does work in certain markets, but viral video is most often laid back and casual.
If you are uncomfortable with the idea of appearing on screen there are alternatives to appearing in front of the camera. You can make a video of something you are doing on your computer screen by using software to record all the actions. This is a great way of demonstrating how a product is used and what it can do.
Another alternative is to convert articles to video. You can do this by hand using moviemaker and powerpoint or similar programs but it can be time consuming. A great alternative is to use software that can convert your article to a video ready to be uploaded to youtube and other video websites.
One program I have used and found to be very productive is GFXvideowriter and you can read more about how it can help you at convert article to video and I think that for the one off cost it is an excellent program as there are alternatives that charge a monthly fee that is as much as this program costs to buy.
You only have to take a brief look at youtube to see the huge choice of videos available and it continues to grow all the time so if you want some traffic to your website you might try putting a video online.
