Viral video marketing came of age for the internet marketer with the launch of YouTube in 2005. Today YouTube is the second only to Facebook as the most visited site on the internet. Recently video marketing just got much easier with the introduction of several software products that will convert written text into professional looking videos. Article2Video was one of the first software packages to automate the process of creating videos out of written text, but was followed quickly by Article Video Robot, that is quite similar in concept to the original Article2Video. The most recent entrant to the field is Video Go Round which offers videos with "virtual characters".
Both Article 2 Video and Video Go Round take the written text and convert them to the video screen. The production includes:
Ability to vary the fond of the text to create a more satisfying visual experience.
A computer generated voice over to read the text.
Background wallpaper and scenes to add depth.
Background music completes the package.
Both software packages will publish the completed video to YouTube, other video sites as well as various social media sites. The whole production process for both products is very straightforward and intuitive and can be completed in a few minutes assuming the article is ready for conversion.
Video Go Round is very similar in concept, but instead of displaying the textual graphics on the screen, a computer generated avatar serves as a host for the video presentation. The entire article to video process is completed in 5 steps:
Select the setting for the avatar, such as an office or classroom.
Choose one from a cast of six male or female avatar's.
Insert the text via copy and paste.
Download completed video to your computer hard drive.
Upload video to YouTube or other video sites.
Videos are a great way to market your internet business. They can generate direct traffic to your website and help build backlinks. Since Googles purchase of YouTubes in 2006, publishing content to YouTube is a great way to increase your website authority. Obviously Google loves YouTube. There is another hidden benefit for utilizing one of these new article to video software packages. You can actually double dip by not only submitting your unique article to an article directory such as Ezine Articles, but then you can convert that same article to a video and publish it on YouTube without getting a duplicate content penalty. In addition to this, many people prefer watching videos over reading text.
Theses are all browser based software packages and the pricing looks like this:
Article 2 Video - 40 videos per month - $47.
100 videos per month - $77.
