Share Your Videos In Just One Step
Want to upload and share your video on sites like YouTube, Revver, MetaCafe, Google Video, and more, but it’s too cumbersome since you have to log into each one and upload multiple times?
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could do it all in just one step?
Recently, I stumbled upon a free — yes, free! — video submission service, which allows for automated submission of your video to not one, not two or three, but to all the 12 big video sites all at once — including YouTube, MySpace, MetaCafe, Revver, Google Video, AOL, Yahoo!, and more.
Plus, there’s no setup, and it’s free to boot! It’s…
The interface is simple and clean. It allows you to add a title, description, tags, and category settings to you video. And you can upload as many videos as you want at no cost.
Not only that, but you can also track your videos across all of those sites — including views, hits, and reach — with easy-to-follow charts and visual graphs, which you can export to spreadsheets, too, if you wish.
You can track trends, buzz, marketing research, competitive intelligence, and more. You can even analyze which video-sharing service is getting the most views.
Bottom line, logging onto multiple sites is no longer necessary, let alone uploading your video to every one of them, one at a time.
According to my friend, Paul Colligan, who’s actually working on a project with them right now, said that, unlike the “other guys,” he’s never had a video that failed to upload, and he’s never had weird or additional text inserted into his uploads with them.
Personally, I think this is going to be a truly powerful tool for bloggers, vloggers, and video buffs. But with the analytics package that comes with it, this is truly going to be an awesome tool specifically for marketers.
I haven’t tried them yet, but I’ll be testing them out this month and report back my findings on this blog. So keep your eyes peeled!
Until then, note that TubeMogul is in beta right now (and has been since November, 2006), so I surmise that it won’t be free for too long. You better get an account now.
Check out TubeMogul.com before it’s too late.

Most of failed submissions are user specific. From all the sites that we’ve tested, MSN video is the strictest on pre-upload. They don’t allow /\ characters in description and even has keyword filter in place.
On post upload, most sites that offer add revenue sharing will have strict duplicate video filter in place. Notably Metacafe.
Recently a popular video submission service (not Tubemogul) starts to charge for its service. I wonder if they will follow suit once they are out of beta.
If you need a desktop based video uploader, then checkout my site at http://videopostrobot.com which currently uploads to 30 sites.

How do you plan to use video Michel? Just getting my feet wet.
Is this more “busy work” in your opinion — or REALLY a measurable killer app for selling stuff?

Michel,
Thanks so much for the information… I’ll definitely give TubeMogul.com a try! I’ve resisted using a paid submission service (one that charges monthly) because I just don’t submit that many videos. Thanks to Yuzairy for the heads up with the desktop tool… will check that out too.
I’m interested in your stats relative to your new blog design and now notice you’ve moved away from auction ads and are now displaying “shopping ads.” I don’t know if you’ve already covered it, but if not, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the ShoppingAds.com service.
Thanks again for a great blog,
Kevin

@JP:
Yes, it is. REALLY.
The effectiveness of the use of videos within a sales process is self-explanatory, such as on copy and websites. But video-sharing specifically? It’s all about viral marketing and creating traffic. (They’re great for SEO purposes, too.)
Bottom line…
Don’t forget, nothing stops you from adding text to your videos or using your videos to display text only — not just pretty pictures. (Simple, powerpoint presentations on videos work quite effectively.)
Videos don’t have to be limited to moving pictures. They can — and certainly should — have COPY on them. Yes, actual words, especially calls to action. Above all, you should at the very least place your URL in your videos, preferably at all times.
We’re running some tests right now. And the results are impressive.

@Kevin:
AuctionAds is owned by the same company (Text-Link-Ads), since they were acquired from Shoemoney.com. I’m a beta-tester for ShoppingAds.
The biggest difference is, with ShoppingAds (which uses the same “guts”), gives you the ability to “highlight” ads, add calls to action, and buttons. Plus, AuctionAds is CPA only. ShoppingAds pays you on CPC (like AdSense) and CPA.
I will be blogging about this shortly.

You asked us in your email to “check out your new 3-column design”. My only suggestion is perhaps to put a vertical bold line on the right side of your article- i.e. the first column- to separate the articles from all the links, ads, and “busy stuff” going on the two columns on the right-handed side of your site. Otherwise I find that the article “space” starts to bleed into the column to the right of it.
Otherwise you do great work, and I wish you all the best.

Michel,
Thanks for the great post! As you test us out, don’t hesitate to drop me a line with any questions or feedback.
To answer Yuzairy, we are committed to continuing our free product. We are even adding new features to it this month. In addition, we are launching premium services that will be available for a subscription fee.
Best,
Mark Rotblat, TubeMogul

Hi Michel,
Thanks for the great heads up. I will probably start another blog next month which will rely heavily on video. I was initially going to go with a vBlogging platform, but now that I can use a service like this, why not just use WordPress and inbed them?
Thanks for the information, and for getting me thinking!
Best,
James

Re: Mark Rotblat of TubeMogul,
It’s great to hear that you will using a dual (free/premium) model. I will also releasing a free lite version of the software early next week. More choice, more power to the consumers.
Although I’m a competitor (in a way), there’s nothing wrong with a healthy competition.
And we are just a small independent player

Michel,
The new design for your blog is a lot clearer to read, even though it would appear you have added more ‘ads’ onto the page than before.
Having the two smaller columns on the right side makes lot of difference.

Right re tubemogul, I saw the post on wf earlier about it too and it looks interesting, certainly better than a continuity-based pay model like some out there offer, if it is free and ad-free and words consistently. Looks like a great time saver. Something to test for viral video uploads.
It’s great to see mainstream marketers finally start to embrace video as a must-have, not optional. Remember all the debates on the forums for years about whether or not video is good, and how it fits w/copywriting?
Many traditional copywriters are likely feeling very nervous in 2008, as they haven’t got the chops for infomercial-style scriptwriting which is required in today’s video-driven salesletters, and for those in the future… though it’s really not that hard, if they are willing to learn it…..
The good news is of course for those of us who are adept, is that it’s a greenfield, much like the industrial revolution of the turn of the century, with video based IM/copy, which (as I’ve said and demonstrated for 8+ years now) is where it’s at…
and your points for death of salesletter re interactivity (not necessarily just video, but things that drive interactive sales paths on letters) are the exact spot-on target, eg watch for interactive video, the new flash player etc, with in-stream clickable video hotspots etc, as the next wave, along with customized sales paths on sales letters, eg “if you’re new to (niche) click here, if you’re a pro, click here” type stuff, supported by video callouts.

Thanks for this, I didn’t know this site. Since I’m just getting started with video, this will help me.

This is super cool! Definitely a time saver and tracking too. I would pay for this if it were not free.
