These days, recording a professional-looking Web video interview is becoming easier and cheaper. However, it is still easy to get things like lighting, studio set up and the background wrong.

There are many companies who offer the service, but I chose one called Aweber because they have a lot of great options available with their service and give a commission if other people also sign up for the service through [...]

It’s really interesting to see how times are changing in the advertising world, thanks to YouTube.  The 30 second commercial on TV is starting to take a backseat to the cool possibilities that lie with creating a viral advertising campaign online.  TV commercials on TV can’t be shared around to your friends from TV to [...]

YouTube recently said goodbye to the old look of its annotations editor, making some changes to increase functionality, and making it more visually appealing to its users.  YouTubers get to experience a more user-friendly annotations editor now, with a side panel (right-hand side of the video) where you can directly input call to actions, and [...]

YouTube has recently increased the time length for uploaded videos… if you qualify.  And how do you qualify?  By having a squeaky clean account.  Unfortunately for me, that counts me out because I’ve had one copyright strike against my account.  I did a parody of So You Think You Can Dance and used the theme [...]
