How To Add Video To Your Blog

I’ve long flip video been a fan of video on websites and blogs. In fact I’ve been experimenting with video for around five years now, and love how easy it makes it to connect up with people you may never meet in person. It’s a great way to connect and build relationships even quicker than with words or even audio.

We’ve always used a fairly high quality video camera in the past. You know, get out the tripod, set it up with lighting, create a great background. Hey, we’re photographers right? But I have really wanted a Flip Video since they first started making their appearance online.

They are small and portable.
You can bring them anywhere.
It’s easy to create video – just push the button.
It’s easy to move the video to your computer – just pop out the USB and plug it in.
And amazingly enough, it has high quality video and audio for such a small inexpensive camera.

So a week ago I decided a Flip Video would be the perfect gift for Father’s Day. So we’ve been playing with it for the past week, and I decided its time to get busy and start recording.

So what can you do with a Flip Video and your blog?

Video your clients. Ask them questions, get testimonials.
Create your own weekly video. Talk to your readers and tell them a tip or two.
Record your products in action.
Meet your office staff. Instead of a group photo, why not have everyone do a two minute introduction?
Record your networking groups and ask your strategic partners for quotes and comments.
Bring it along to tradeshows. Get the details you want to remember more.

I think once you have this camera in your pocket, you’re going to find a ton of uses for it. I know I will, and I’m looking forward to sharing more video with you soon.
