Adding Video To Your Blog Posts
As I’ve been looking through the other blogs of my fellow Masterclass students I noticed that some have uploaded videos. This got me thinking about how to make my own.
So today I visited www.camstudio.org where I was able to download the software free of charge, many thanks to CamStudio for that.
Having downloaded it, I was eager to check it out. So I made a short video on how to set up an auto-reply email with Outlook Express, so that when a customer contacts you, via your customer support email address, they’re automatically sent an email confirming that you’ve received their email and will get back to them within 24 hours.
I was truly amazed at just how simple CamStudio is to use. You simply click the start button, do your work and click stop, that’s it….. Simple!
Then you need to set up an account on YouTube and upload your video.
Once your video is on YouTube you can load it onto your blog. Masterclass students: Please see week 5 for details of how to load YouTube videos onto your blogs.
Please watch the video and see what you think, feel free to leave your comments.

Barry,
Way to put yourself out there and make us look like slackers. Only 3 attempts? Great job. Volume seemed a little low to me, but the presentation was great.
Maybe add a line telling what your blog is about in case somebody stumbles on the video by accident. You know something like, “Hi this is Barry Wells, webmaster for barry-wells.com and ebooks2u.org.uk where we put together the best internet marketing tips and tools for you.”
Again, great job. I’ll make an effort in the coming week.

Victor, thanks for the compliment. That’s a good idea, i may re-do it. I’ll certainly add it to the next one.

Hello Barry,
Very impressive! You are way ahead of the game
Adding videos to my blog has been on my to-do-list for a while now. Thanks for laying it out so briefly and nicely!

Hi Barry,
What an impressive site you are building. Did you say you got camtasia for free or is it on a 30 day trial.
Once again brilliant blogsite, well done

Hi Steven, I got camstudio free, not Camtasia, I think you have to pay for that one. I don’t know the differences but camstudio works ok and it’s free.
You can download it from the link supplied in the post.
Good luck mate, Barry
Hi Barry,
I like your blog and some great posts, both the video one here and the ebook one made good reading.
Thanks for your post on my blog, and for pointing out the problems, I think the email issue may have been the server as I believe there was an issue during the week, I hope so anyway as I can’t find a problem at the moment but will keep checking. The issue with the ad encroaching to sidebar 2 cropped up when i first put the ad in, and then seemed to be ok but will keep an eye out for it cropping up again and will revisit the week 5 video to see if there’s something I haven’t done (most likely ha ha).
Good luck with the course and keep up the great posts
Regards

Hi Barry,
Camstudio is great! I used it for a very long time before switching over to Screen-o-matic. For only $9 a year you can upgrade and you have more editing capabilities not available with camstudio.
Camtasia is also fantastic… did the free trial. Lots of bells and whistles for sure. But it’s a hefty price so I thought it was an investment I could hold off on.
Anyway, great job on the video. First time huh? Didn’t seem like it. You definitely have an knack for it. Keep it up.
All the best!

Hi Michele, welcome to my blog.
Thanks for the info on Screen-o-matic, $9.00 is very cheap and the fact that it allows you to edit your creations is worth that price many times over. I’ll have to look into it
I know what you mean about Camtasia, I’m holding off for the same reason
Glad you liked the video Michele, be sure to check out the others that I have.
I’ve been meaning to visit your blog since we linked up on Twitter and will make a point of doing so very soon.
Catch up then,
Barry
