Video is the way to go for contractors to show off there work and great for client testimonials!
I was reading the other day that 52% are using video on the Internet for all types of marketing. I have just started to use video and I love it because it just seams more real and your able to communicate better with your clients.
Yes, you can finally put a face with your name and your site. You are able to shoot video on your job sites and even ask for client testimonials which is huge if your in the service sector.
We have used www.viddler.com to download our video’s and this site is great if you use a video that is 10 minutes or longer.
Most of the contractors use www.youtube.com if they have small video’s. You can download them there and then write the code into your blog post and there you have it.
One more source to practice on is to use www.animoto.com it’s great to use this site to get a feel how your video can look and they do all the work for you. As long as it’s under 2 minutes long it will be free. If you need longer just pay a small fee.
With this type video you do not even need a camera. You are able to download your own pictures or go to www.flickr.com and pick out some free photo’s.
The main thing with all of this is just get out there and do it. You don’t need to be a movie star and your clients will enjoy the video and like everything else the more you do the better you will get.
I hope you found this post useful and sign up for my RSS feed.
Happy Video!

videos are really in nowadays and it is especially useful for businesses that involve activities and demonstrations. Featuring videos in websites also reduce the need for written content.
Thank you for your comments on the video post. Yes, you are 100% correct. It saves you from writing and some people would rather video then write.
Thanks Glen
