Using YouTube to Promote Your Blog

One of the best parts of having a blog is coming up with cool ways to promote it.

If you like making videos or have caught something cool on film, edit it to include your web address and upload it to YouTube!

I'm sure you've seen internet movies that include a web address right on the sreen throughout the whole film, and this is a good thing. But even adding your web address as an end title is a great way of getting your blog recognized, and it's easy, too.

You'll need a video editing program like Windows Movie Maker. Upload your video footage, and click "add title" to your movie. Drag the title to the end of your film, and you've got a tag on your video promoting your website!

You can add effects to make a smooth transition from the actual video to the display of your web address. I recommend fading the video out to black, then fading your web address in from black, and fade out to black again to wrap the video up.

And remember, the better, funnier and more interesting your video, the more hits you'll get on youtube and the more people that'll come to your site!
