  2. this helps but to realy get views check out my featured video on my channel then go to the link in the botom bar:D its real and it works:D

  3. @UVStudio Hey!

    Thanks for all the compliments! Much appreciated!

    I use a separate voice recorder for my audio with my Flip – then just match it all up during editing. Pretty straight forward. I reveal how I do it at RapidVideoBlogging DOOOT COOOM (have to use funny url otherwise YouTube wont show it).

  4. Your lav mic works on your flip cam? which adapter did you use?

    Also, you have pretty decent lighting… I know you have sun light coming in from your right. How else did you light your video?

    Also, you are very well spoken. Most people out there are not as well spoken as you are in front of the camera. And most people don’t know how to cut from tight to wide vice versa like you are doing on this video.

  5. @tyroneshum So true Tyrone – definitely a good idea to just keep on practicing. If I look at some of my earlier videos, I just cringe, but I keep them on there to remind me how much I’ve learned over the years.

    One definitely becomes more comfortable and natural over time, as you get more used to yourself in front of the camera :)

  6. Hey Gids,

    Thanks for spilling out the myths and breaking them. Fortunately, I’ve loved video so much that I also wanted to help people through this medium. At first it might not be too easy to create quality videos and having you looking professional and sounding professional at the same time as well.

    Honestly, I’m much comfortable this time so it’s all about practice and then it’s not going to be hard anymore. :)

  8. @marketingtutor Yeah just use Camtasia, or if you’re on Mac, like I am, use Screenflow. Really easy to do. Just make sure you use a good microphone as well. That can really help the quality of the recording. I recommend a Snowball Mic.

  9. Looks good, if I want to show powerpoints on video, how would that work? Guessing camtasia?

    Gideon, love the advice. You’re right, you can buy an HD quality Flip video camera for under $200. Throw in some inexpensive lighting from eBay, and you’re ready to go. Great stuff!

  11. People don’t realize how much they can really do themselves if they just get creative and think outside the box a bit. All it takes is a little elbow grease half the time.

    Hey-Just what I have been saying, thanks for making our point so eloquently!

    ANYONE can and should be using video in their online marketing efforts

  13. I used to use green screen all the time.

    But the time it takes to setup, edit and export the videos with green screens are just a little nuts.

    So, this solution is nice and fast for me – which is the name of the game for online video in my view – fast but still high quality :)

    Thank you for getting back with me! Great job I really thought for sure you were on a green screen!
    LOL…anyway I’m enjoying your Vids!

    I’m looking forward to your next Video tip!

  15. Hey Debby

    I’m just using a black screen – it’s a piece of black material that I got from the material shop for a few bucks – actually, my wife got it for me.

    Not using a script at the moment – just talking from my head – it seems to come out more natural that way, which is what I want. Still working on being more personable in my vids :)

    I’ll be revealing my exact setup pretty soon. So, keep watching :)

  16. Awesome! That’s exactly how I feel about it too… and it seems most of my audience as well!

    We’ve been SO programmed with television over the last few decades – to me it’s no wonder that we prefer videos online.

  17. Not Yielding?

    Hmmm… tough one. Let me think about it ;)

  18. Cheers Juho!

    I’m really loving this. Helps me be creative while I teach – the most excellent combination for my personality profile (creator/star – Roger Hamilton).

    Let me know if there is anything specific I can create for you ok?

  19. Hi Gideon
    Great quality Vid. I started with a flip but the problem I had with it was it’s a MOV file and I don’t have a Mac. So I had to put the vid through a converter. I would like to know how you set up your mic. Also are you on a green screen? The black seemed so perfect…I loved it really and if so what software did you use? Also do you ever read off of a script? I doesn’t seem like you do…(-: Anyway..great vid. now I want to know more! (-:

  20. I agree… video marketing is excellent! I’d rather watch a video tutorial than read one! :)

  21. Thanks Gideon, you’re right. I hope you can bust one more myth; “Not Yielding”

  22. excellent quality here again, Gideon.. both tech and content. love it
