Michelle started creating MTV-style videos with Animoto for fun but she has figured out a way to use Animoto to quickly and easily create videos for profit. As some of you know, I've been using Animoto for quite awhile myself. Occasionally I create videos for people to promote their sites and I know ZERO about video editing. I just upload the photos, pick a song and Animoto does the rest. It's really slick. You can re-mix the video anytime you wish for a new unique version of the video.

Here's the guest post from Michelle...

Videos are a great marketing tool to promote and draw traffic to your website. Increased website traffic equals success. Videos are the newest method to raise your rankings on the result pages of search engines. There is lots of competition out there for website visitors. Website owners are all competing from the same general pool of Internet users. Attentions spans are short. People don’t take the time to read beyond the first paragraph.

Viral Videos

Video promotion captures people’s attention. Sometimes, having high quality content alone isn’t sufficient to draw large numbers of visitors to your site. A well made, informative and entertaining viral video with a link back to your site can do the trick. People retain information in different ways. The combination of text, images and sound ensures your message is delivered and remembered. A well made video will be shared with friends and will become self-promoting.

Use Video Sharing Sites

Once you have a marketing video, you can submit it to many video sharing sites to receive recognition and promotion for your website. You can just submit a small clip of a full-length video to draw visitors back to your website to view the entire video. There are automated video production programs available, such as Animoto that allow you to simply upload photos, music and text for quick and easy video production.
