In part-1 of this article we looked at the fact that you begin a video by identifying it’s purpose and then by identifying the proper keywords to target. Let’s continue by looking at the format.  Video sharing sites accept many different video formats but some are accepted more than others.  For example, many of the more popular sites won’t allow you to upload flash files.

You are relatively safe if you go with .avi, .mpeg or .wmv although it’s also fairly easy to  convert your  videos to multiple formats with most video editing software.

If you don’t used an automated submission service, that can be very tedious, and tie up your computer for hours on end.

As you prepare to create your videos, you need to begin by asking what is it that you want to accomplish. More specifically, what do you want your viewers to do after they finish watching a given video?
