    How to Start Video Blogging?

    How to Start Video Blogging?

    Videoblogging is the next generation of posting ideas and products over the internet. Everybody knows about textblogging. Now they use videos for a better way of expression. This form of communication may entail a lot of resources, but it is all worth it. If pictures say a thousand words, videoblogging exceeds that by far.

    A videoblog requires larger disk spaces on websites, a faster server, and a whole new set of programs to support it. Videoblogs can be fed through RSS. This is technology of syndicating your website to other RSS aggregators.

    Videoblogging works with people on the internet expressing their selves. Now if you put this on a business prospective, you are up to a lot of benefits. Think of it as a powerful tool in making showing your prospective customers your line of products or your services. It’s just like showing a commercial all for free. And if you videoblog through RSS, then most probably you are getting your target market.

    People like to see what they are going to buy. Some would like to see proof and be sure that they are getting their money’s worth before shelving their dimes on it. All of us know the influence of a thirty second commercial. The effect of videoblogging is similar to that. You show your product, people watch it. If they like it, they buy it. If you present it good enough, they’ll buy the product even if they don’t need it.

    Now on the web, things are pretty much static, unlike in television in which all are moving. If you post something that is mobile, it would most likely catch attention. Now imaging your product parading in all it’s royalty through videoblog. You’ll get phone call orders in no time.

    If your business is just starting up, you can create a videoblog right at your own home. All you need is your web camera, microphone, video software, and lights. For as long as you know how to use your camera, then you can create a videoblog.

    Invest in a good web camera. The higher its resolution is the better the output. And you like to present your goods in the optimum way so get the best one possible. Make a short story, or just capture your goods in one go. Just make sure you are getting the best profile for each. Get those creativity juices flowing.

    Lights are important in a production. Make sure you illuminate entirely the area you are going to use to create videoblog. The brighter the area, the crispier the images will be. You can also use lighting effects for added appeal to the presentation.

    Should you require sounds for your videoblog, you need a microphone. Record you voice as a voice over for promoting the product and its benefit to consumers. Sounds are as important as videos on a videoblog. It is advisable to make your sound effects as enticing as the video.

    Your video editing software can be any program. You need this to finalize your work. You can add sounds, delete some bad angles, or insert some still pictures in there too. Some programs are user-friendly and can be used even with zero knowledge on video editing. Even simple video editing programs should do the trick. Select your background carefully too. The light affects the presentation so make sure that the background and the light complements each other.

    Videoblogging is a great tool but it also has it downside. It may slow down the computer so other may steer clear of it. Download time may also be time consuming especially if customer is still on a dial- up connection.

    But don’t let those stop you. Let videoblogging be an alternative for you, though it is best to still keep the text and pictures present in your presentation to accommodate all possible viewers of your site.

    Nowadays, the more creative you are in presenting your product to the market, they more you are likely to succeed. Videoblogging offers an interactive way of selling. You involve the customers. You instill in them the advantage of your goods. And at times, those are enough to make a sale.

    Here are a couple website to get you started on your journey.

    Tweaking Windows XP

    Well here are some tips to tweak Windows XP to make your system run faster. These should only be done by experienced computer users. If you want one on one help you can go to The Computerz101 Forums @ http://computerz101.20.forumer.com/ You'll need to register and post your questions and you can also get my contact information @ www.computerz101.com/faq.html near the bottom for faster service thank you. Tweaking Windows XP by Mike!

    I will add more tweaks once a week or so.

    Follow these steps below:

    1. A faster Windows shutdown
    Shutting down Windows can take a long time. You can speed this up (at your own risk) with the following tweaks in the registry key:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\DesktopChange the following String values:AutoEndTasks=1HungAppTimeout=4000WaitToKillAppTimeout=4000WaitToKillServiceTimeout=4000

    2. Finding out the reason of a Windows crash
    If you would like to know the reason why there was a sudden crash of Windows, change the DWORD-value ShutdownReasonUI temporarily to 1 in the following key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ReliabilityAfter a reboot you will find the reason why your Windows shuts down suddenly in the log files (Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Logfiles). If you are finished analyzing, change the value ShutdownReasonUI back to 0.

    3. ------Increase BROADBAND speed in WinXP *Should work for 56k also* ----

    1. make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
    2. start - run - type gpedit.msc (not available in home version)
    3. expand the "local computer policy" branch
    4. expand the "administrative templates" branch
    5. expand the "network branch"
    6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
    7. in right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
    8. on setting tab check the "enabled" item
    9.where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0
    Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot. This is more of a "counter what XP does" thing. In other words, XP seems to want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self, even with QoS disabled. So why not use it to your advantage. To demonstrate the problem with this on stand alone machines start up a big download from a server with an FTP client. Try to find a server that doesn't max out your bandwidth. In this case you want a slow to medium speed server to demonstrate this. Let it run for a couple of minutes to get stable. The start up another download from the same server with another instance of your FTP client. You will notice that the available bandwidth is now being fought over and one of the clients download will be very slow or both will slow down when they should both be using the available bandwidth. Using this "tweak" both clients will have a fair share of the bandwidth and will not fight over the bandwidth.


    I will add some more tweaks next week. Enjoy. Don't forget to check out our website for more information @ www.computerz101.com Thanks Mike!

    Is your PC slowing you down?

    A friend of mine recently called me to get advice on some computer problems he was having. He had finally taken the plunge and traded in his 8 year old PC for a top of the line computer. New with the latest technology, he felt confident that slow loading programs, computer crashes and freezes were now behind him.
    After just a couple of weeks he noticed that his new computer was not running as fast as it had when he first got it. I could tell that he was really frustrated. Who could blame him right? He had just spent a lot of money for this new machine that was supposed to make his life easier.
    Unfortunately, this is the kind of situation that I come across time and time again. It doesn't matter how new or old your computer is. Over time, you accumulate error files that slow down your applications and can even cause crashes. The more you use your computer, the more error files are created. The most frustrating thing is that these error files are created from simple day-to-day computer usage. You don't even have to do anything wrong to be affected. But you'll feel your PC slowing down significantly over time.
    Most people in this situation just give in and spend a fortune for another new computer. Luckily for my friend, I was able to recommend PC SpeedScan Pro. This easy-to-use program scans your computer for all the harmful errors that are hurting your computer's performance. With just one click of a button, you can fix all these errors so that your computer runs like new again.
    My friend now runs a weekly scan to find and fix any new error files and keeps his investment in top shape. So don't despair if your computer has slowed down over time, whether it's brand new or it's been part of your life for some time. With PC SpeedScan Pro, you too can have your computer running like new again, as fast as the first day you took it out of the box.
    You can test PC SpeedScan Pro for free at www.pcspeedscan.com/ just click download now. For more information relating to this subject an other areas of computers please feel free to go to www.computerz101.com there you will find information on anti-virus, spyware softwares and others to speed up your computer such as TuneUp Utilities 2007 enjoy.

    WHAT IS SPAM?
    Spam refers to electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail.In addition to being a nuisance, spam also eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Because the Internet is a public network, little can be done to prevent spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail. To get more information on spam and how to remove it please go to http://www.computerz101.com/faq.html Thanks. Mike!
