Due to the number of questions I get about creating and marketing with online video, I spent some time going through posts I've written over the last year on Build a Better Blog as well as this blog. I came up with 16 posts that give you an overview as well as a lot of tips about why and how to use video on your blog as well as for marketing your business.
First, check out some stats from The Neilson Company about the growth of video viewing habits in the U.S. -- up 23% over last year. YouTube continues to be the top dog so it's a good idea to get your videos posted there so you can increase your online visibility across multiple media and platforms.
Without further ado, take your pick, read them all or choose the posts in alignment with your learning needs and interest...

Great video. Captures the changes in both strategy and perception of advertising through media and through the years. Also shows effectively that the old brand "loyalty" is dead. One-to-one communication is back again, and social media video marketing is going to be key to future ads and brand success.
