As a professional Video Producer, I have created hundreds of DVDs, web video ads, video commercials and corporate videos over the years, and on this site I will share with you all my 'insider' trade secrets, video tips and techniques, recommended equipment and software and lots more.
I will explain everything in plain English using plenty of video tutorials, so even a complete newbie to web video production will be able to make a start and join the online video revolution.
My goal here is a simple one. I aim to provide you with free, easy-to-follow articles and video tutorials that will help you create better looking (and sounding) video and DVDs.
| "Hi Pete, your site is so helpful. It is amazing how
well you have taken such a complex topic and distilled the essential
elements of making and posting online videos in a way that anyone could
follow.
As with anything, the initial learning curve was intimidating, but I
followed each of your suggestions and steps on your site and was amazed at
the result. I was ready to hunker down for several days to edit the first
few web videos I produced and was amazed to find myself a few hours later
ready to post the videos online! Awesome.
And your SBITUBE service is super, super easy! Thanks for your helpful
feedback and the excellent work you do. The free resources are awesome and
the 'for-purchase' resources you recommend are totally worth every penny.
By the way, just a few days after I posted my first intro video for a
counseling workshop I give, I had my first 'internet' registration. This is
the first time someone has registered without first talking to me in person
or being referred. I am 100% sure watching the intro video - which gives
people a sense of the workshop - made all the difference. Many thanks!"

You will find everything you need here from choosing and buying the best camcorder for your needs, shooting and lighting techniques, to adding video on your website, hosting your video and making a DVD you can sell for a 2000% profit! (2000%! Not a misprint).
So why is web video so important?
Here's some facts from independent industry watchdog, eMarketer, that clearly show why you need to be getting serious about using web video on your website;
• 52% of all web traffic is video
• 72% of online surfers watch at least one video on the Internet every week (65% of the viewers are between 35 and 64 and earn middle to high incomes).
• The average YouTube visitor spends 27 minutes watching video per day
• Because video is so popular, video links and clips often show up before other content on search engine results.
• Over 50% of viewers will take action after watching a video advertisement. 12% of those will make a purchase (Compared to 1% reading traditional text advertising copy)
• 65% of viewers will watch a video ad to the end (Compared to less than 20% who finish an online sales page).
You will be left behind if you don't use video on your website today, so don't you think it's time you got serious about web video?
And what about making a DVD with a menu, just like the one's you rent from Blockbuster? Surely, that's only for the likes of big Hollywood production companies?
Maybe a few years back that was the case, but not any more. Low cost digital high definition camcorders and high-powered computers running fully featured video editing software means you can now easily produce high quality videos and DVDs without the $100,000+ price tag it would have cost you only a few years ago.
Making your own DVDs for your website niche is easier than ever, and you are going to love the BIG profits you can make selling them ;-)
I'll show you how to get your DVD duplicated, printed, wrapped and shipped to anywhere in the World for just $1.75, with no minimum order! - And when you consider the average sale price for a How-To DVD is $40, you can see why I love this business :-)
