Animoto Makes Video Marketing a Breeze

We all know that the search engines LOVE videos but they are not always the easiest things in the world to create. Yes there are great systems out there like Camtasia and Jing but they are not always the best option when it comes to creating a quick and simple video.

Animoto, is the answer that I absolutely love!

I still use Jing and Camtasia but not for everything. When I just want a quick video made to promote a product that I will submit to the video directories or put on my ppc landing page (helps quality score), Animoto provides a FAST and POWERFUL system to get the job done right.

Here is an example video that took all of 10 minutes to create (YES, 10 minutes). Animoto does all the work, provides images, music and effects and all you need to do is organize them into order and add any extra images or text you want… it is extremely simple to use.

Yes, I know the video is not perfect but I wanted to show you something quick.

Once you create the video, you then simply uplood it to your favorite video sites, optimize the title and description and BANG, you have a powerful promotion in place!

Click Here to check out Animoto… and if you are serious I recommend you sign up for the $30/year service… it is well worth it. You can do that by clicking under the “About Us” on the pricing link.

    Seems like you need the $249 version for commercial use, like yours : <

      I think he’s referring to the “videos licensed for commercial use” language which is found beneath the $249 option. So it does seem that to be in compliance with their TOS, I can’t create videos using the $30 option and then blast them all over the net to promote my sites. But then again, I could be mistaken. Hope someone can prove demonstrate otherwise.

    Seems like a great idea. But, like earlier comments, I’d appreciate clarification of pricing and usage. :)
