What you need to know about video product distribution

2007 is starting to look like the year of the vlogs. An explosion in Internet video is taking place, and in large part it's an explosion based on video blogs. A massive online industry is gearing up around video sharing sites like YouTube and Internet video platforms like Brightcove.com. Television is moving online, and Internet TV may soon replace your favorite TV programs.

If you're an independent producer of video content or an Internet marketer interested in learning how to take advantage of the revolution in Internet video technologies, a good site to visit is Rocketboom (www.rocketboom.com). This site is marvelous in its simplicity; it has already grown into one of the most popular sites on the Internet. Rocketboom focuses on what's happening in the world of Internet news and technology. Its content is presented in a light and highly entertaining format.

Video podcasting is going to have an even greater impact on the Internet than audio podcasting has had. Don't let the terminology throw you: Video Podcasting involves nothing more complicated than copying and pasting code into your web site or blog to make a video clip available on the Internet for other people to view.

Like most popular video sites on the Internet, Rocketboom is distributed through a technology called Real Simple Syndication, or "RSS." This technology lets viewers subscribe to your channel and receive alerts every time you make a new video product available on your site. And like so many other new technologies that are connecting people on the Internet, RSS is a free service.

Focus on your strengths. Find one thing that you do well and build your video around it. Don't spend a lot of time trying to fix your weaknesses-we all have them. Successful people spend most of their time doing what they do best-they concentrate on their strengths.

If you aren't creating video products for both free distribution and sale on the Internet, you aren't reaping the full benefits of connecting your business to the Worldwide Web.

Once you post your content online, simply copy the "embed" code given by YouTube, Google Video, or any of the other popular video sharing sites, and paste that into a new post on your blog. You can then submit your RSS feed to any of the video broadcast sites, and your video is on the Internet.

By using a free service like FeedBurner, you make it easier for people to find you and to remember you. Whenever you post a new video on your blog, FeedBurner updates your RSS feed and alerts all the video distribution channels, as well as your blog's subscribers.
