Video is now the fastest growing area of the internet advertising market.  Sites like YouTube, Hulu, and others have continued to assist in the digital media explosion that the internet has seen over the past few years through video.  You can see examples of this first hand on major news sites such as CNN who have switched a majority of their main page content over to video featured stories as oppose to traditional text.  So what exactly does this mean to you?  Well, if you’re an avid internet entrepreneur and/or blogger, you’ll want to read on to see all the reasons why video blogging is a must!

Video Blogging – What it means for you:

• Increased traffic to your blog/website -> Search engines continue to give more weight to video enriched websites and sites like youtube can easily help increase traffic to your site..
• Make money online -> Many video hosting websites offer affiliate programs and support to embed advertising into your content.  More eyes on you means higher chance for profits..
• Reach a larger audience ->  People are much more likely to watch a 5 minute video then they are to read a lengthy article post.  Video keeps the attention longer..
• Connect better with viewers -> Video is much more personal than text, which means people will be more likely to establish a connection with you and what you say..
• Less time & work to produce the same results -> Get the same message across in half the time and effort required to write up and edit a traditional article posting.

Get ready for the best part – anyone can do it! Even if you don’t have a video camera or don’t want to spend the money to buy one; almost every tech device records video now that you can upload to the internet (webcams, cell phones, cameras, etc…) in minutes.  Sites like YouTube make it a super easy process to get all that video goodness online too!  There is no reason not to be video blogging and plenty of reasons to start today.  Also, be on the lookout for a NEW TechLifeMashup video series starting up in the weeks to come.
