Not Ready to Get In Front of The Camera But READY to Generate Leads With Video Marketing on YouTube?
Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 05:38AM 
Hi everyone,
Video (such as YouTube) is by far one of the best ways to generate leads online.
But what if you're not quite ready to get in front of the camera? Well, I'm going to get ya there eventually, at least a little--but for now, I'm giving you a way out (for now).
A strategy I've used time and time again to get my business off the ground is to use other people's content initially--then I build upon it over time (adding my own content later, etc). We have dozens of short video clips (taken from the longer Ann Sieg interview) that you could use on YouTube right now, with a link to YOUR lead capture page (or taking your prospects wherever you want them to go next).
You can then post that same video on Squidoo, Hub Pages or a blog if you've started one. We are showing you click by click how to set up each of these locations so don't worry if you're new and haven't done that yet. But to take advantage of today's tip (and to attract leads using the dozens of video clips we're creating out of the Ann Sieg interview) you MUST have a YouTube channel and know how to load a video on it.
If you have done that already, GREAT. We'll be letting you know how you can re-purpose dozens of value-rich short videos (some footage you've seen and some you haven't yet)--and put it on YOUR own YouTube channel or any other video sharing site (and on your blog, Squidoo, etc)... with YOUR links.
If you don't have a YouTube channel set up yet... THAT is a great next step for you.
You'll find click by click instructions at a rediculously slow pace so ANYONE can follow along... inside the Social Marketing area at Renegade Professional. Set up your YouTube account, shoot a video of your dog (I prefer you do one of yourself but if you're not ready, than do one of your dog or the wall... so you can load it up and get used to the tool we call YouTube). Remember, every new skill you develop is worth money. It builds confidence. It's competence. It increases your value in the market place. It increases your credibility with prospects.
Got it ;-)
Then go do it! We'll let you know when and how you can access the video clips to re-purpose for your own use.
Partners in success,
Mike Klingler
P.S. Sites are up but still some glitches we are working out. Please do not contact support about bugs or issues with the site you see today--give us 48 more hours. I'll let you know when we'll need your help identifying issues we may have missed during the move to new servers. We did it rather fast because of our tight schedule so it wasn't smooth and as far as I'm concerned, that's OK ;-) It's about motion forward more than anything else! Particularly in this industry because it is moving fast! You're here in a HUGE expanding market very early. But sieze it!

Mike gives some great advice here.
There is of course another great way to get your own content up, without having to get in front of the camera. I'll give everyone a hint...this is most of what Mike himself does.
In case you didn't guess it, it's by creating a screen capture, using software developed to record what you are doing on your screen. You can create reviews, training pieces, etc., because you can record anythig that is showing on your screen (please pay attention to copyright law, though).
Most of us at Renegade Professional use Camtasia. It's very powerful software that you can use to create a lot of great content. They offer a 30 day free trial to check it out for yourself, too.
Since so many of us, and many others in the industry, seem to favor Camtasia, I and some other Renegade Super guides have been creating training tutorials to help you make the most of the software. Like Mike, we take you step by step and show you how to use many of the features, from the simple to more advanced. They are located in the back office of Renegade Professional.
All of us at Renegade Professional are working tirelessly to continue to bring you useful and relevant content which will help you in your marketing efforts. When the doors re-open in a few weeks, I am confident that we will offer the most value-packed training platform for internet network marketers...period.
